Fine looking general helper functions, but I find it a bit confusing to call this a "standard library". That has a particular meaning in C/C++ already.

Fun fact: the original author of Turbo Pascal, Anders Hejlsberg, went on to lead development of C# and then later TypeScript.

Wondering the same. Also a libvirt and virsh user here, and pretty happy using commands such as `virsh snapshot-create ...`. I've used VMWare ESXi in the distant past, and from the screenshots it…

Very impressive quality.

+1. Andrej Karpathy is an amazing and down to earth teacher on these topics!

I think of WAFs as an extra safety net. Defense in depth. The author complained about the performance cost of WAFs in general, but not all WAFs have be structured like ModSecurity. They could for exam…

The page says "The Gaza service will be broadcast on MW 639kHz for morning and evening episodes." So I think this is within the normal AM broadcast band that most car radios can receive.

The Teensy is awesome. Programmed one to slightly boost the bass of my audioengine a2’s. It’s been running reliably for years.

I think op was just saying as a bus on a local network for some very specialized application.

Only a hosted API for now it seems? On page 12 they mention https://www.nixtla.io/ .

Isn't it also used to intercept outgoing network connections and redirect them sidecar processes? Envoy and friends?

Love that bigscreen focuses on being lightweight. Sad there's no inside out tracking. Guess I can't have my cake and eat it :-)

Another approach would be to use the Excel APIs. Both the classic desktop Excel and the web version has APIs to read/write cells and recompute. Rebuilding is more fun of course :-)

What can an individual do about this?

Usb c devices i own: Apple MacBook laptop, Lenovo laptop, Sony headphones, Bose headphones, bike lights, headlamp, probably more. Lightning is the odd one out for me.

Very nostalgia inducing photos!
