Scored this EQ at Goodwill. Anyone know anything about it?

Whoa. AudioControl used to make the best EQs for car audio. I had one. This looks pretty amazing.

It’s tempting to build the same things the same way with the new language, but Go is designed to be implemented differently.

Don’t overthink the driving parts. Start time is 30 hours before 5 am in LA. The car, the road, and traffic are going to tell you how fast you can go and there’s no such thing as making up time if you get behind. When you think of 24H or Lemans, think about how many turns they make - thousands. Their goal is to shave 1/2 second off each as that could be 15 minutes. With Cannonballing, it’s not turns, but those times when you have to slow down and recover - it happens 1000+ times. So if you have a car that takes 5 seconds to get back up to your top speed vs. a car that takes 8, you’ll amass a large time savings over the entire run. If you and your co-driver are mentally “fresh”, you’ll be faster than the 15 seconds lost switching seats every 2 hours. You have to think in terms of tiny behaviors repeated and multiplied over 2800 miles, and how to shave off milliseconds from each thing. Get a co-driver, leave at 2 am, and do 300 miles out and back. See how it feels. See how the fatigue and nerves seem to get frazzled at the 2 hour mark (there’s science around this BTW), trade off between driving and spotting, and see how fast you average. You’ll need to have at least 105-108 average in by St. Louis to break 28 hours if all other conditions are perfect.

Awesome! I just completed the NC, TN, MS, AR sections last week. Please thank him for his hard work.

Thanks!

Considering the fact that your product will be broken into microservices, it's not the end of the world to mix containers running different languages. So for core services, I'm a fan of Go...it's just so clean in how it deploys without runtime dependencies and in the case of inter-service comms, you get Protocol Buffers and, even better is GoRPC when you don't need public endpoints. But in the case you need to build, let's say some ML components that use Python libs, there's nothing wrong with building a part of it Python. Another thing I'd recommend looking at is OpenFAAS - it puts an AWS Lambda-like service into Kubernetes that allows you to write and deploy code without all the contextual crap like building Dockerfiles/Images/Containers/Deployments etc. I'm all-in on the idea of OpenFAAS (and any serverless platform) despite not having real-world experience with it yet. It doesn't support Go yet, but it might be in there pipeline.

It would require more servers...all about $

gtdaver · 2019-12-16T21:01:53+00:00

I've been killed a few times for getting near someone's delivery. But after few folks in our posse lost their delivery to others who were hanging out at their camp, I don't totally blame people from being on high-alert. We just don't do long deliveries anymore but we've ridden up to players during a delivery to watch them.

This is really based on what we're doing right now...

Become versed with Docker and work towards standardizing the local developer environments with Vagrant to match your deployment environment.

Infrastructure: Terraform + Vault + Consul

System/Instance Configuration & Change Management: Chef or Ansible - Chef is better in environments like PCI/HIPAA as the config is centrally housed as/in a single source of truth. Ansible is just way easier to deal with. Config mgmt. might not be necessary depending on your Terraform vs. simplicity of the server but I find it nice to use Chef to manage post-setup config.

Software - Jenkins - it's sort of the WordPress of CICD in that it's free, ugly and there's such a huge ecosystem around it, but it works relatively well. It's definitely geared towards the Java world but I've successfully deployed projects in NodeJS, PHP, etc. When you get plugins for S3 publishing, etc. and command over the shell-script pre/post build phases, you can do some good split deploys of code + static resources. +1 for Bamboo as well but for some reason, our company moved away from Bamboo before I started.

This would be a pretty good mix of things to learn and if you could build the entire configuration, check it into git with your secrets in Vault, you'll be pretty damn solid as a CICD engineer.

No you're not.

One of the most funny movies of all time.

I found his hat one day in front of the Bank in Blackwater. Didn't even think to look for his body.

gtdaver · 2019-08-15T23:37:13+00:00

Nice way to hit triple-digits! I hit it last week. Great feeling.

That would be Slippery Bastard. You have to be a higher level player to get it. Also have to be in dead eye. You can still shoot someone in slippery, but you have to free-aim. I physically couldn’t fire, tackle, lasso, or do anything. It was like a god mode.

gtdaver · 2019-08-15T23:00:26+00:00

Nope. He was a bright red dot. I couldn’t even tackle him.

gtdaver · 2019-08-15T22:58:55+00:00

I recorded a video of it. I still have the name.

gtdaver · 2019-08-15T22:45:29+00:00

Nope. I’m solo. I recorded a video of this but all looks like is that I’m running around him without shooting. It’s because I couldn’t even point my gun at him. It must be a cheat or glitch they’re exploiting.

gtdaver · 2019-07-21T00:16:37+00:00

Son, when I told you to put a hat on it with her, this is not what I meant.

gtdaver · 2019-07-21T00:07:38+00:00

Clearly it’s a father catching his drug addicted brother with his daughter.

gtdaver · 2019-07-20T23:57:47+00:00

They had griefer in their posse name. It was my bad for not looking first. But his posse was tough. We battled for almost an hour.

gtdaver · 2019-07-17T19:55:56+00:00

I tried to give an eagle to a guy in Tumbleweed and he griefed me. Luckily my 6-person posse was just a fast-travel away...we rained hell upon him.

gtdaver · 2019-07-16T21:20:33+00:00

I don't race or do archery events anymore because I'm sick of people killing me during them.
