skrueger··on Rules of good writing (2007)
It's good to combined both to form a sort of palindrome to chain ideas together. This is explained in more detail in Style: Toward Clarity and Grace by Joseph M. Williams.
skrueger··on Free unexpected MIT courses to kick start the new year
I want to know if you want to meet up occasionally to discuss/work on the course and the labs? (i.e., be the "other students" you mention.)

I was thinking about starting the the Spring 2024 6.5840 course just this past week. I ran across the course on YouTube while studying Raft and Zoo Keeper. I saw their labs and they have you build RAFT and a KV store on top of RAFT. I'd love to get the experience of building these. I have never written golang, but I am sure I could ramp up on it quickly.

How far along are you?

skrueger··on West Coast Trail – The 75km/48 mile hike in Vancouver Island (2021)
RE: wet trail. I agree. I did part of the hike in 2017 and some parts of the trail were a total mud slide. I enjoy my memories from that hike.
skrueger··on Some dev bought the fiserv.forum domain and is hosting their resume there
It's interesting that the Bucks or the arena owners didn't already own that domain. I wonder what's going to happen to it moving forward?
skrueger··on Docker as an Integrated Development Environment (2019)
I think I share your line of thinking.

What are the benefits? Are there down sides to being operating in the docker container for everything?

skrueger··on The YouTube ban is un-American, wrong, and will backfire
How is YouTube protecting democracy? It seems to me its action silences a group of people in a democracy.
