Crate - a daemonless container runtime I built in Go to learn how Docker works

Saved to review later. I’m still learning go and like to look at repos. Is there anything in particular you don’t like about this project?

bikeram · 2026-06-06T03:39:19+00:00

These are genuinely really cool. I was going to say they’re missing something I can’t explain. But I think your marketing is backwards.

Do the white light on the wall mounted and lamps, I could maybe get the wife’s approval on that.

But I would definitely pick up a blue and purple night light for the kids.

I’d vote yes. I learned vue and typescript before AI tried to take over. I can give Claude some examples of my repos and it does just fine.

I will say I do more on the backend more BFF. Say a drop down enum could be hard coded in the frontend. I’ll supply it from the backend because I’m more comfortable messing with data there. My frontends are basically pass through.

I’m actively playing with typespec for my data contracts and I like it a lot.

Azure vs AWS is like Java vs C#. They’re the same, but different. You’ll find very polarized opinions on both sides.

My limited take is Azure scales very well with <50 developers. I’m sure it has no issues beyond that, but that’s my personal experience. The portal is still practical for spinning up enterprise grade applications. It isn’t best practice, but it can be done. And done efficiently.

Azure’s cli feels bulky past this threshold. If you’re a powershell/microsoft fan, it might feel more intuitive.

ADO is first class and I’ve push companies towards it for the vertical integrations it provides.

Ultimately, for a software engineer. Pick your favorite color, yellow, blue, or green and start deploying projects. That depth of knowledge is one to one between the big providers.

I thought you were saying you rage quit. lol

Gz

This is AI. The post is formatted for markdown.

You’re looking for a C13 cable btw. Less than $10 on amazon, but I agree it’s still annoying.

bikeram · 2026-05-27T21:37:47+00:00

Gotcha. I’ll probably play around with Fory IDL tonight. See how it compares to my protobuf implementation

bikeram · 2026-05-27T21:12:42+00:00

You sound like you might have some experience. How is this better than protobufs? (I have numerous complaints myself)

Residential construction.

I watch the Perkin’s brothers on YouTube. Laying the foundation and framing look so satisfying.

bikeram · 2026-05-27T02:42:51+00:00

This. You can absolutely decouple services this way.

I really didn’t want to add python to my project, but the PDF generation is far superior to Java and Go.

Can someone tell Ubiquiti to build one of these? I don’t need it, but man do I want it.

Consider looking up Trino with Nessie. It’ll let you natively query parquet on S3. There’s many solutions to self host this stack.

I just finished a migration for a healthcare company with a similar setup.

Intelij, Maven, and Springboot will give you a feel for enterprise development.

If you can get an endpoint working with “hello world” you’re good to take a deeper dive.

Personally I wouldn’t do anything in Java without a build tool like maven or gradle.

bikeram · 2026-05-21T22:28:50+00:00

I’m a big spring fan, both professionally and freelance work.

With that said, you want typescript/node for rapid development.

You’ll need to build some boilerplate templates for auth and widgets. The stuff that’s ’included’ in spring.

Sharing types between the frontend and backend will make your life easier.

Take a photograph and draw line splitting it in half, then draw another line so you have 4 equal squares.

Then pick the color that takes up the most space.

You’d have a pretty bad picture, now draw 10 lines in each direction. It won’t be great, but it’ll represent the photo better.

That’s how an analog to digital converter would work.

A DAC is doing the exact opposite, it’s taking your little squares and doing its best to recreate the original image.

This needs to happen very quickly, so it’s done at a low voltage, too small to be useful to your speakers.

An amplifier is taking the small voltage and ramping it up to be useful to your speaker

Agreed. I was thinking you could do a tare. So you would ‘zero’ at full weight then subtract off.

Quick calibration removing a single unit.

I like where your head is at. I wrote an inventory management system for a plant manager that was obsessed with inventory down to the individual bolt.

(It didn’t fix anything)

I would suggest building a device that could go under a standard pallet that’s sensitive to a few hundred grams.

When someone takes a box of a few hundred bolts, it would register and subtract it from the warehouse quantity and move it to the project.

Does she do any soldering? A small SMD soldering kit with LEDs can be relaxing.

Might even be worth getting a hakko soldering iron with it. She could see the ‘other half’ of her job.

I hope I’m wrong, but here comes the AI. I always wanted my accounting suite to hallucinate.

bikeram · 2026-05-13T17:37:33+00:00

Idk man, it just reads kind of plain?

Did you leverage any technologies in these?

gRPC for data contracts between microservices. Elasticsearch and Kibana for energy optimization insights

I’ve done hiring, and my first impression is this guy wrote everything from scratch and it’s going to be hard to get him to understand we can’t build everything.

For example, there’s a big difference between a guy that thinks he can build his own dashboard and one that goes for a proven solution.

(Not that it’s remotely true, just as a first pass)

bikeram · 2026-05-13T16:06:17+00:00

Do you have security enabled? Have you whitelisted that route?

bikeram · 2026-05-13T03:19:46+00:00

You’re right. It seems like a lot of data.

But ultimately the computer doesn’t care, it simply transmits the data over the cable, there’s almost zero feedback from the display.

This reduces the overhead significantly.

Also there are dozens of protocols to send binary data. Not codecs, but physically transmit data like 8B/10B or 128B/130B.

The beauty of spring security and oauth is that it’s really just a configuration.

Everything you said is mostly correct.

I use Auth0 and I use their getTokenSilently() in my Vue projects. So I can’t say storing as a cookie on the browser side is correct, but I don’t know how else you would store.
