My dad — for curiosity and creativity, and for teaching me to go after what I want rather than assuming something can't be done.

Bryan Cantrill — for shaping how I think about building productive engineering teams, especially teams working at the messy and fascinating interface between hardware and software.

Alan Kay and Seymour Papert — for changing how I think about computers, education, and learning. The best tools don't just give people answers; they give people an environment where they can explore, experiment, and develop their own understanding.

Paul Akers, Norm O'Hara, and Ryan Tierney — for showing what Lean can look like when it leaves the PowerPoint deck and actually reaches the manufacturing floor. Continuous improvement works when the people doing the work are empowered to see problems and improve the systems around them.

Linus Torvalds — for the relentless pursuit of technical quality and the willingness to challenge decisions when the engineering isn't good enough.

Looking at the list, I realized there's a common thread.

Be curious. Build things. Learn by doing. Give people the tools and agency to improve their own work. Don't accept "that's just how we do it" as an answer. And when you want something, be willing to go after it.

I suspect I'm still figuring out how much each of these people has influenced the way I think.

this seems really interesting, but I'm no up to speed on all the sconyms. what does this actually do? why would I want to use it? I think I understand that this is a tool to move money between fiat currencies using crypto. is that right?

Lots of animated displays in New England: https://www.nelights.org/

This is fantastic, would you consider adding some other types of QR Code, wifi, Contact Info etc? I've had good luck with the generator from https://qrcode.tec-it.com/en but your UI is much better!

This is a neat view into budgeting. What are your future plans? Will you have tools that help see how the different pockets grow over time?

Why not hate the cell phone manufacturers for not making secure devices?

Does that mean the user's code is compiled in the browser? Is the compliation a feature of Cheerpj?

The DIY Lighting community is quite impressive. Last year 938 displays in 27 countries participated in a project called https://xlightsaroundtheworld.com/ where we all play the same song and sequence and a montage is created. https://xlightsaroundtheworld.com/category/all-projects/

This is awesome. I frequently merge lists in google sheets. Any thoughts about offering a google sheets addin?

This is fantastic! Do folks do this manually in other languages or are there proven packages folks use?

These stories about old telephone equipment are so fascinating. I remember when T1s were state of the art now they're going to be a lost art

Have you seen https://www.descript.com/ it transcribes video and allows you to edit the transcript. Those edits to the transcript are reflected in the video. You can even train it to voices if you have enough content.

The approach deno is taking is very interesting where all packages are sandboxed. I'd be interested to hear the author's thoughts on Deno's approach as a mitigation for supply chain attacks. I understand it won't stop all attacks but it would make them significantly harder. ref: https://medium.com/deno-the-complete-reference/sandboxing-in...

I know it doesn't matter for the point the author is trying to make but, Such a tease, what does the app do?

Seems like my email in the format word.other@gmail.com doesn't pass some check. I'm getting this error:

I often "publish" artifacts internally in github actions with the actions/upload-artifact action. https://github.com/actions/upload-artifact

//.github/workflows/main.yml

  name: Main

  on:
    push:
      branches: [ main ]
    pull_request:
      branches: [ main ]

  jobs:

    build:
      runs-on: self-hosted
      steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v2

      - name: Set up Go
        uses: actions/setup-go@v2
        with:
          go-version: 1.16

      - name: Test
        run: go test -v ./...

      - name: Build Discover Command
        run: go build -o discover cmd/discover/main.go

      - name: Upload Build Artifacts
        uses: actions/upload-artifact@v2
        with:
          name: discover
          path: discover

For internal tooling we often publish tagged artifacts to releases on the repo using a workflow that is triggered when someone creates a release. The creation of the release makes a new tag and triggers the build.

//.github/workflows/release.yml

  name: Release

  on:
    release:
      types:
        - published

  jobs:
    build:
      runs-on: self-hosted
      env:
        GOPRIVATE: "github.com/OUR-ORG-NAME/\*"
        NAME: deploy-${{ github.event.release.tag_name }}-${{ matrix.GOOS }}-${{ matrix.GOARCH }}${{ matrix.EXTENSION }}
      strategy:
        matrix:
          GOOS: [ windows, linux, darwin ]
          GOARCH: [ amd64, 386 ]
          exclude:
            # excludes 32bit on macOS
            - GOOS: darwin
              GOARCH: 386
          include:
            # includes a new variable for windows builds
            - GOOS: windows
              EXTENSION: ".exe"
      steps:
        # Runs a single command using the runners shell
        - name: Print Info
          run: echo '${{ toJSON(github.event.release) }}'

        - uses: actions/checkout@v2

        - name: Set up Go
          uses: actions/setup-go@v2
