It's fascinating that cURL is becoming a genericized term:

- search it on a search engine -> google it

- fetch it from an API -> cURL it

Too big to recover.

When I was there at aws (left about a decade ago), us-east-1 was considered least stable, because it was the biggest.

I.e. some bottle-necks in new code appearing only _after_ you've deployed there, which is of course too late.

It didn't help that some services had their deploy trains (pipelines in amazon lingo) of ~3 weeks, with us-east-1 being the last one.

I bet the situation hasn't changed much since.

in Nix it's the same for as long as I remember, both on NixOS and nix-managed home-manager on MacOS and Linux:

      neovim = {
        enable = true;
        vimAlias = true;
        vimdiffAlias = true;
        defaultEditor = true;
        plugins = [
          pkgs.vimPlugins.fugitive
          pkgs.vimPlugins.fzf-vim
          pkgs.vimPlugins.vim-gh-line
          pkgs.vimPlugins.vim-gutentags
          pkgs.vimPlugins.nvim-lspconfig
          pkgs.pkgs-unstable.vimPlugins.vim-go
          pkgs.pkgs-unstable.vimPlugins.zig-vim
        ];
        extraConfig = builtins.readFile ./vimrc;
        extraLuaConfig = builtins.readFile (pkgs.replaceVars ./dev.lua {
              inherit (pkgs) ripgrep;
            }).outPath;
      }

I was responsible for bootstrapping arm64 at Uber[1] and no longer work there. I am ready to consult companies who are considering or have just started onboarding to arm64 (and running into issues). I am open to strategic, technical advise and hands-on as necessary.

It's a cold call here, I know, but I am increasing my leads. :)

Location: EMEA.

Technologies: arm64, C/C++, Go, various build systems and schedulers.

This interview and the one with Richard Hipp about sqlite[1] resulted me in downloading and listening to all past podcasts from corecursive. I found some other gems there too[2]. Adam, the host, really knows how to get the most out of his guest, in the best way.

I've been doing this with an rpi+ usb3-attached ssd for years (kept upgrading rpis). Syncing across my laptop, phone and server (server backing it up nightly). Worked well for years.

Now moved to a more powerful machine, but the concept is still the same.

This setup allowed me to conveniently stop using google drive.
