I do a bunch of random things. But mostly I love data.

Um a lot of US zip codes map to multiple cities. Some even to multiple states. If you build a picker for city/state this works fine but your premise is easily refuted if you look at the data!
Zip codes map to postal routes, not polygons
For anyone reading this later, I got my data export and deleted my account and got a pro-rated refund. So double whammy!
I had kept my Plus subscription just because I was lazy, and it was inexpensive and convenient… but this turn definitely helped me get off the fence. I am exporting and deleting my data now, and the cancellation is already done.
I feel like excluding French toast is a serious faux pas here!
Breakfast burritos are also at least as important as quiche (as in, neither are as tasty without addins - just like omelettes).
FYI this is not true in the US. Zip codes identify postal routes not locations
I’m building an ETL tool that “just works” and gets out of the way. I can write shell scripts and python to do this stuff but honestly I just want to drop my files/API results into a GUI tool and have it combine things for me. Landing page is at https://eetle.com
Yes I was very excited to see the new json encoding changes land, can’t wait to try them out! The new omitempty and map key marshalling in particular will help clean up some of my ugly code.
Dropping the kids off at the pool is a euphemism for a bodily function that diuretics like coffee help with…
Probably gets pretty costly if you’re running a lot of data through it. Now if you could implement a Tailscale DERP server in a lambda that would be pretty amazing: https://tailscale.com/kb/1232/derp-servers
Given the redundancy of multiple locations, I think even cutting power it would be difficult to cause an extended outage.
I have a variety of Shelly 1 devices in my house, one of which is on the oldschool Garage Door opener (with a reed switch for open/close tracking) - Very inexpensive, flexible for other applications, and works with HA etc.
Would be trivial to show the results live though, especially for atomic values: https://go.dev/play/p/PRzzO_skWoJ
Isn't it even simpler in Go? No channels necessary, Each goroutine gets an index or slice, and writes the results to a shared array.
All you need is the goroutines to report when done via a WaitGroup.
API tool to automate all the stuff Postman makes painful: https://callosum.dev Spec generation from request logs, automatic schema generation and validation, test generation (eventually), totally offline, no accounts or cloud sync necessary!
Been taking longer than I hoped but should be released soon (next few days)
Re: the grid connection backlog - much of the challenge of turning on new generation is simulating the increasingly complex ways the grid can fail due to all the interconnections. It’s a huge computational challenge and there’s really not much incentive to speed it up

How granular are the durations? If days for example you could bucket into N-week intervals (eg intervals with 7N consecutive days) to reduce the search scope. Then you only need to store start times, and can join or use a set to combine other ranges with the same availability.
That's their math, the 23.8t/s is already the 64x but they didn't 64x the other stats.
Yeah... They are using a single-core 13W measurement to project out. For a 64x parallelization - no mention of any overhead due to parallelization or power needs of the supporting hardware. This is a key quote for me (page 12 of the PDF):
The 1.3B parameter model, where L = 24 and d = 2048, has a projected runtime of 42ms, and a throughput of 23.8 tokens per second.
e.g. 64 x 13.67W = 874 Watts to run a 1.3B model at 23.8 t/s... I'm pretty sure my phone can do way better than that! Even half that power given their assertions in the table are still overpowered for such a small model.
I mean shared hosting certainly existed but "the cloud" as we think of it today was much simpler and not nearly as ubiquitous. It doesn't really change the principles themselves but it certainly affects aspects of the risk calculus that dominates the table of contents.
Published in 2010? Curious how much of it has survived since then?
I like “Design It” because of some of the workshop/activities that are nice for technical folks who need to interact with stakeholders/clients (I’m in a consulting role so this is more relevant). Also it doesn’t lean hard on specific technical architectural styles which change so frequently…
Wouldn’t be too hard to add a secondary “file” in the zip with an extra index
My power is resold by the city so they don’t break it out, but a nearby county is 4.55c per kWh distribution charge and 5.96c per kWh generation charge.
As someone living in NC and paying only $0.09/kwh, that $0.55/kwh in SF is just nuts to me! This setup has a 12 year payoff here...
Lifestyle differences in rural areas are much more sedentary now that broadband internet is more available. In urban areas you have social factors and other reasons to walk around or stand up for longer periods.
Couple that with the mentioned shrinking of hospital and healthcare access and yeah you’ve got a double whammy.
As a counterpoint/opportunity… what are some great open source projects (e.g well-used/adopted) that do NOT have great docs?
If you could also incorporate precedence rules you could get some more reduction. e.g. for the h1,h2 example, you'd have a selector for `h1,h2` (which is essentially the full h2 rules) and another for `h1` that overrides the font-size. Then when needing to "reduce" rules you could select for "smaller" rules and the only loss would be that h1 and h2 have the same size.
To do that I think you'd need to do the factorization on the CSS properties alone, and then apply the values in a predetermined order. But would be cool/fun to test out!
Sounds like it could easily be the Cisco umbrella junk a few gov/universities have had that I’ve seen. They install MITM CAs[0] on managed hardware so they can definitely see page content.

Edited to add link to docs.
Ok that’s fun. My home network is 10.3.x.x … can I somehow script to get my tailnet onto 100.103.x.x ?
Now I need to investigate!
I don't understand that copyright line if you want to be a freelancer, you're severely limiting who will work with you... but if you can make it work more power to ya.
