hendry··on Mitchell reflects as he departs HashiCorp
https://ir.hashicorp.com/news-releases/news-release-details/...

Hashicorp seems to be doing alright to me. Don't look at the stock price.

hendry··on Mitchell reflects as he departs HashiCorp
Mitchell feels like the exception that proves the rule, the rule being that there are very few engineers turned entrepreneurs that are successful & balanced.
hendry··on $20k bounty was claimed
Anyone know the minimal package.json or Github template to get this going in a new repository please?
hendry··on Apple unveils M3, M3 Pro, and M3 Max
Will Maccy be as fast as dmenu on my old Thinkpad is what I need to know as a M1 Pro user
hendry··on Why the average lifespan of a smartphone is only three years
Repair costs > value of phone https://dabase.com/blog/2023/iphone-repair-uk/
hendry··on Llama.cpp: Full CUDA GPU Acceleration
RTX 3090 isn't cheap, more than 1000GBP new, crikey!
hendry··on Effective Spaced Repetition
I find writing cards / decks the challenge. IIRC the ones you download from Ankiweb are all such low quality!

Could you link to some good quality decks for inspiration please?

hendry··on DevOps uses a capability model, not a maturity model
Sounds a bit complex, I usually stick to the R.E.D. method for services and from the devops perspective largely iteration speed.
hendry··on DevOps uses a capability model, not a maturity model
Surely Github workflows https://github.com/actions/starter-workflows or Gitlab templates is the culmination of your devops work?

Not Kubernetes (?) unless I missed something.

The rewarding thing for me is applying this and other sensible defaults like observing iteration speed and driving delivery..

hendry··on Lossless Image Compression in O(n) Time (2021)
I think this is the same approach as https://tools.suckless.org/farbfeld/faq/ i.e. removing compression from image formats
hendry··on The case for banning children from social media
As a parent, there is no way I'm aware of keeping an eye (remotely) on their Watch history with Youtube kids. https://dabase.com/blog/2023/youtube-kids/#watch-history

The controls are broken.

hendry··on Immutable Linux distributions
My OS for Web kiosks was immutable since 2007. It's what people wanted and needed.
hendry··on A low latency guitar effects processor suitable for running on a Raspberry Pi
Surprised that a (local) Web call can be considered low latency. Isn’t this why people use grpc etc?
hendry··on ARM64 Linux Workstation
I noticed upon Apple silicon that when you’re emulating x86 via Colima, performance falls off a cliff.

Everything is instant for me on dwm on my AMD Thinkpad

hendry··on Minimum Viable Hugo
Made similar work here https://dabase.com/e/04066/
hendry··on W3C Beta Website
Zooms in when I click menu on IOS Safari https://s.natalian.org/2023-02-28/menu.png
hendry··on Four ways to build web apps
I host a full Web app on Lambda like so https://github.com/kaihendry/ltabus
hendry··on Gitlab to lay off 7% of staff
Tbh I'm surprised, there is a real opportunity at least in Singapore to offer better support.

Lot of companies adopting Gitlab.

hendry··on Ask HN: Share Your YouTube Channel
Archlinux, suckless & now more work related AWS topics

https://youtube.com/@kaihendry

hendry··on I want to lose every debate
"The Singaporean in the three-piece-suit explains why clothing is like the SMTP protocol.", that must be Meng Wong of RFC4408
hendry··on Ask HN: What is your experience in tech consulting?
Selling your time doesn't scale
hendry··on We invested 10% to pay back tech debt
People talk about tackling tech debt, though I want to see results in the form of reduced/stable lines of code!

The author mentions 180k of code... but did the team actually chip away at that SLOC thanks to "Tech debt Friday"?

https://github.com/kaihendry/graphsloc is how I track projects.

hendry··on Just use a monorepo
Thanks, inspired to create a video because of this post https://youtu.be/pKOF2DQnfno
hendry··on Architecture diagrams should be code
Coming from Atlassian Confluence, "very fiddly and even buggy" made me laugh. It's really hard to maintain a diagram in that suite.

Personally I prefer excalidraw, though the embedded scene can easily be not exported or stripped, or people just don't realise you can continue to edit it if you import the PNG.

Furthermore most documentation systems (ahem confluence) don't have a sane coding API to keep the file upto date.

hendry··on Sim Wong Hoo has died
Funny that my Dad and I bought the Creative Game blaster from a Singapore market (likely Sim Lim) and bought that back to South Africa. It was a revelation to play Sierra games sound through it.

Decades later I now live in Singapore. =)

hendry··on LastPass owner GoTo has been hacked
Thought GoTo was Indonesia’s GoJek & Tokopedia, though it would appear not.
hendry··on High-documentation, low-meeting work culture
Low trust, poor communication = low documentation, high meeting.

I work as a consultant with a lot of outsourced teams who poorly communicate or seem to avoid written responsibility.

really like that thought: "low-meeting culture allows us time to do high-value tasks"

hendry··on I finally found a use case for my Raspberry Pi Model B+
I use mine for network latency tests https://smokeping.dabase.com/
hendry··on Ask HN: Advice that changed your life?
"Don't be afraid to become the Editor of a document" is along the lines my ex-boss told me. It changed the way I think about contributing to just about anything. When you become the editor you take responsibility and you're in a much better operating position, even if you don't know everything about the subject matter of the document.
hendry··on What I’ve learned from users
What pains me is how difficult it is to give feedback or complain about a service with startups half the time.

All I wanted is an email address.

Twitter can be hit and miss.

This morning I went down a rabbit hole to try submit a bug report to OpenAI. Had to go through a Kafka-esque Discord registration process.

Astonishing how hard it is to get a service provider to listen.
