Winamp Skin Museum 20 days ago

Yesterday someone put a Winamp-vibe radio player on a Waveshare ESP32-S3 1.54 LCD. Now if only these skins can be ported to that too. I’m in awe!

So Long, Gitpod 2 years ago

In January they laid off 28% (21 employees) which meant they had 54 left after the January layoff round.

Last week they laid off ~43 (as per the laid-off employee’s blog post above).

Does that mean they now have only 9 employees left? Did I do the maths right?

Update: my bad. The last layoff around was January 2023. It has been 1 year 4 months since.

I got the Deutschlandticket for May and am tempted to travel from Berlin to Stralsund. Using RE/RB for this journeh takes more or less three hours without any train change (so not having to deal with the possible delay(s) and missing connecting rides), however I do hope the operator supports reserving a seat in advance with this subscription, cause otherwise showing up at the station not knowing for sure I'd have a seat would deter me from using this offer and instead just book ICE/IC (if any).

I once looked into authen/authorization with Kafka topics and whether one can only be allowed to subscribe to specific ones and came up short with any solution to how to do it with Kafka. From my POV, points: 1 to 4 listed above now have been moved to one single point (Kafka) and its capabilities are a lot limited than those other tools/entrypoints (of data access) mentioned. Have there been new development to Kafka's IAM?

Scaling the underlining EC2 instances is slow.

Do you mind if I ask how long this takes right now with you and how long you expect it to take to be fast?

I’m one of these new subscribers (from Viet Nam) that this campaign appeals to. The offer was too good to ignore ($1 for first 6 weeks, $4 each week after for the Guardian Weekly). There’s a bit of adjustment from my side because stories and writings in the print edition are different from my usually top-HN, popular-Twitter articles, but I’ve grown to it. Local expats in my place have no idea of this free int’l delivery, so for a long time they have been paying local importers/newstands a heft ton of money for these papers.

I've just uploaded a 140MB file from my mountain cabin (in Viet Nam) and it was lightning fast. I then gave the link to a friend of mine residing in Melbourne, Australia and his download speed was blazing fast as well. Would be keen to learn more about the infrastructure setup behind this service to achieve such a good performance.

Hey brokedev,

I can help with your CV. That's something you can improve right now (besides active Twitter account/Github/Blog) to start shooting for jobs. I haven't been in your situation before but have dealt with such management, so I understand the feeling. Let me know if I can help. My contact is in my profile, or you can reach out to me via Twitter @rebyn.

Cheers, T.

Agree. Everytime I do locales in Vietnamese I have to do the "magic encoding". Not anymore. Fsh.
