I'm surprised to see no one comment on Zig. It seems like the bun.sh developers are making some bold changes with such a low-level language.

Being surprised by this convo probably means your manager did a poor job of communicating (or you did a poor job of listening to what your manager was saying).

You should be having biweekly (or better yet weekly) 1 on 1s with your boss. For the most part, you shouldn't be surprised by things if you have a good rapport with your manager.

I think you'll be fine, but be sure to communicate things with your boss as soon as they come up. Also, don't just come to your boss with problems, but bring solutions as well.

If you have a tech lead on your team try building a rapport with them as well. They'll be busy, but they'll ideally be in a position where many of their goals will be mentoring based. Leverage this to learn about the projects, company, and the culture.

Probably should add https://bun.sh/ to the list as well, it's early but has some potential.

Me as well.

This is just embarrassing.

> the M1’s CPUs are so powerful that a software-rendered desktop is actually faster on them than on e.g. Rockchip ARM64 machines with hardware acceleration.

Has your team considered looking into buildkite? We love the flexibility it gives us. Being able to dynamically build pipelines is a very nice feature that not many others have (at least that I could tell when I was researching).

I wonder if Telsa's Dojo computer [1] has anything to do with this?

Yes, `flyctl` from https://fly.io/docs/getting-started/login-to-fly/

Off topic: I really dig `fly` from `fly.io` is there any model that is similar to that. Akin to hereoku but for k8s?

I like this idea. Can we do something similar to how Frame.work laptops work and just provide the connection to/from the chassis as USB-C?

It'd be great if the next version of the compute module would provide thunderbolt 4 instead. I think we'd be able to provide both power + 40GB nic support over one connection.

Tethered drones might work.

Just the tool that I was looking for. We are looking to do Service linting in our organization as a method of making sure our services don't drift too far apart.

Anyone else know of a Service linting tool? OPA/conftest come close but lack syntax parsers for Ruby/Javascript.

Still no dual monitors?

dapr.io

Would be cool if you modified the chart and it kept it's position when editing.

I've been using https://github.com/cosmtrek/air

Rack mount case would be nice.

Worth mentioning that there is https://crates.io/crates/rocksdb which Rust bindings to RocksDB.

What do you think about ShapeUp?

Another downside is the long compile times.

I've been hacking on some go code to put together a set of services to run lambda functions locally.

It's a hodgepodge of different services.

Since this is a POC it's probably not worth looking at or trying to use as the instructions are in bad shape.

Very exciting news. Is there a way that I can subscribe to get info on when it'll be released?

Just found out about Temporal and it looks interesting. I eager to jump in but our organization primarily uses Ruby. I know the big difference between Cadence vs Temporal is the fact they are using GRPC which seems much easier to adopt.

I recently spent some time between raw UDP and GRPC and learned a ton. This was for a hardware project so it's different from what web devs typically work on.

The most important thing that I found out while doing my research is it's not the fastest bytes that win. Well, that does matter, but it's not that important. It's reducing performance variance [1]. While my project wasn't optimizing for speed, it was optimizing for zero-copy de/serialization, but this often ends up as a solution for high-speed transfers. SBE, Flattbuffers, Cap'n Proto all had their places, but I ended up not using any of those and just hand-rolling something similar to what SBE would do. If this was a $DAYJOB project I'd probably end up doing something with SBE.

Your architecture is similar to something that we want to get towards. How do you handle standing up all these pieces (or even a subset of these pieces) in the dev environment?

Do you know what CNI plugins support veth pairs?

Crystal is still pretty young and under pretty active development. For me, the biggest con is the long compile times for Crystal.

ranger looks awesome... Going to try to integrate that into my workflow. Thanks.

https://github.com/BurntSushi/xsv is a must if you do anything with CSV.

I've looked around for a good soldering station and the best thing that I could find for the price/performance is the TS100. All the other budget (sub $100) didn't have a direct heating element. In total, I probably spent about $100 to get a stand and other things needed for soldering.
