To be fair your specific example is due to… well forking terraform due to hashicorp licensing changes.

Wow. I guess I haven’t been paying attention to 4ms lately.. this feels wrong but right. I like it.

Hmm… “good” is relative. Lots of stuff out there

That would be fun. Or have a program basically be a key logger and suggest words for you daily or something so it grows the more you use it. Maybe it could have a training mode too to ensure abbreviations don’t fall out of your mind.

If you're looking for a fun hardware project I'd recommend a buddy's company. As they don't have a HN account, here is their plug:

Exclosure is building a worldwide networks of space monitoring telescopes. We believe that space is for everyone, and that monitoring is the first step in keeping the outer space environment sustainable. We are actively seeking locations to host our observatories, and can compensate hosts with good viewing locations: https://www.exclosure.io/hosts

This is pretty neat, yearning for Linux though.

That said, why is datadog going this route? Maybe their more recent incident management stuff?

In my experience, the same applies to kebaps in Berlin as well.
NCEES even offered a Professional Engineering license in it for awhile. Since discontinued due to lack of interest.

I found the first few chapters of the google SRE book a good primer, in particular Part 2[0]. The end of each chapter has cited sources which allowed me to dive deeper.

Other paid constraint solvers are Gurobi and IBM’s Cplex. I only have experience with the later - scheduling giant chemistry and biology experiences into a robotic factory - there are a ton of foot guns in this space.
Yeah I need to tweak a bit between xrandr scaling and xdg dpi, then force specific apps as well. Not ideal, but enough tweaking got it done.
My experience: it’s fine when using docker to run applications; painfully slow for a containerized development environments that want to share the file system with the host.

Lots to do to combat this, like: not sharing the volume with the host (vscode dev containers recommends this)

Re: scaling

Genuinely curious did xrandr not work for you? I have the same setup and use 1.5 scaling. (Ubuntu focal).

The Linux Bluetooth experience may not be as slick as apple’s, but it certainly works as expected.

Bluemon + pulseaudio + pavucontrol has served me well for years.
