I’m terrible at maintaining my resume/cv so I think this is awesome!

Thanks for the effort making a great overview. I’ve used both frameworks before but not deeply, so your write up was a good read.

Forgive me of my ignorance, but is XDP faster than DPDK for packet processing? It seems like DPDK has had a lot of work done for hardware optimizations that allow speeds that I can’t recall XDP being able to do. I have not looked too deeply into this though, so I’m very open to being wrong!

I’m glad I’m not the only one! I decided early on that the balance means more to me than making more money or having the most amazing resume.

I started using fish on a dare from a coworker who thought it would be funny. Joke’s on them, it’s been five years and I still love it. Started using starship this year and agree with you.

I totally agree. I have an older Ford Ranger and I hope it lasts forever because I don't see a newer truck on the market that fits your description and has as much utility as my little Ranger with a 6' bed.

Thanks! I'll have a look

Thanks, I was surprised to have reddit suggested, but a couple of my respected friends in the field also generally look at r/netsec so it must be pretty good.

Yeah it doesn't quite scratch the technical itch, but I think it's fun and informative on history and personal stories.

This is great, I'm excited to explore

It doesn't hurt that the Salt Lake is sadly shrinking currently. So it's even worse than it probably was when they arrived.

"Dating" during marriage is just a way to make sure you set aside time to keep a relationship healthy. It doesn't need to be "a permanent state of ersatz courtship". My wife and I go on hikes, work in the yard together and play board games. Many other couples do similar things. Again, it's just a way to set aside time to focus on a relationship in the hustle and bustle of life.

I found this website while looking for DIY instructions for wind chimes. It immediately threw me back to the early internet days with its simple design and rich, thorough information about a niche topic. I thought many here on HN would enjoy it as much as I have.

I’d say it’s probably good to know at least one bowline variation that locks the tail end so it can’t come loose, but that’s maybe the climber in me coming out too strong. Otherwise I’d agree with you

Dumb point of view. He raised money to self publish. What in the world is wrong with that?

However I didn’t know about his success in raising this much money. I read Mistborn, and then I tried to read some other books but found his writing to be immature and his characters flat and not compelling. Am I in the minority?

I had just finished reading the Expanse series, which are extremely well written, so maybe it was whiplash.

Sounds like what Hitler ended up doing.

If, like me, you had no idea what this was…

I’ve heard this called the “one bad day” approach. The animals have a good life with only one bad day. In my opinion it’s probably the most ethical way to keep animals if the intent is to slaughter them at some point.

I’d be interested in getting others’ views on this, but it strikes me that headlights and their angle or height can sometimes be thought about as part of the “size/arms race” of vehicles. They say if you’re in the bigger vehicle in an accident, you’re safer, and maybe folks also think if you’re in a massive lifted truck you’re also less likely to be blinded by another vehicle. I personally drive an old Corolla and I am sick of being blinded by almost every other vehicle in the road these days. It’s to the point where it almost feels like a full on hazard because I literally can’t see for a few seconds while approaching oncoming headlights. My subjective experience is that it is getting worse. Needless to say, but I am very happy with this news and potential change.

I had to do this too. I eventually learned I could write python plug-ins and started writing the workflows that way instead. But then it exposed to me how actually unwieldy the api was and I was extremely unhappy with the work. I would automated everything myself, without the framework, but the platform was in part there to help those who lacked the technical skills to do everything from a terminal etc. I hear they’re still fighting with it even months after I left the job.

Absolutely, assembly got much easier for me after playing this.

If you enjoy Shackleton’s story, the you might enjoy “Alone on the Ice” about Mawson’s expedition. I found both to be compelling stories but Mawson’s is the one that just keeps coming back to me. I won’t ruin it for the prospective reader, but it is absolutely stunning what was endured.

Sympathies for your loss. Grief comes in many forms and there is no right or wrong way to grieve it’s even harder when you don’t feel like you have anyone to grieve with. I’m an open ear if you need one.

Recently there was a podcast episode made by some guys I follow that is one of the most real an raw conversations I’ve heard (other than my own) about death and grieving. It may or may not be helpful. I’ll quote the description and give a link.

“On November 19th Erin and Michael lost their 13-year old daughter, London, to a rare disease (HLH). It was an intense fight and escalated faster than anyone could cognitively understand. One of our practices is to be open and honest about our process, to discuss how we work influences how we live. This is the start of that conversation, of realizing your worst fear and stepping up to confront all that comes with grief, pain, loss, and love.”

Same experience, same timeframe in TX. I remember learning about shadows in Egypt vs Greece during the same day of the year and thinking it was really cool. In elementary school even.

Prior to the Disney takeover I would’ve argued with you, but now? :(

There is basically zero chance I would do these calls prior to an agreed on start date. I spend enough of my life working already.

Looks interesting. I wonder if serious bpf applications (maybe not quite as big as cilium, but bigger than hello world) could use this out if you’d still want to write your own user space etc. I’ve done some interesting shenanigans to get data from my bpf programs.

Yeah I was going to say this. A hobby that gets you out of the door and interacting with people not through a screen helps a lot. From there you can work on your social skills with this helpful buffer of the shared enjoyment of an activity with other people.

I didn’t say I didn’t think it would be well written, I just didn’t expect it to be as good as I found it to be. I had just been reading “Paradise Lost” and found “Crime and Punishment” written so well (not that PL isn’t) and in such an approachable way (PL certainly isn’t very approachable) that I couldn’t stop. Often with classic literature I get bogged down with flowery language, what seems like over emphasis on points, or dialogues that seem to stretch for eternity. Especially classic European literature with their “classic” translations. Often I push through those points and am rewarded by that, but with “Crime and Punishment” I felt almost no friction while reading, which was a surprise to me because I often do feel that friction with classic literature. I hope that answers your question.

I found myself having to come to terms with the fact that I’m a different person than my “younger self” because of those experiences. I am very very different now. I’ve given myself permission to move on with life. I still cherish the memories of my past self, but I’m not that anymore and it’s just time to step into life on these new terms. Maybe I’ll change back at some point? But I certainly don’t have to. I’ve found just such… power? In being able to move on in life. I try to not disregard the importance of the past, but from my perspective right now, the present is the most important and relevant part of our life.
