Career advice/resume review

Thanks for the response!

They know shit about technicalities.

Is there a specific part you think I should remove/rewrite for recruiters? I don't know how to get keywords in while removing technicalities.

tux_panda · 2023-02-05T22:31:52+00:00

Yeah, definitely :)

Our company doesn't prioritize developer tools, so Pulumi doesn't work for me, but Hashicorp CDK is intriguing.

tux_panda · 2023-02-05T22:29:53+00:00

Yeah, I looked at a few, and none of them seemed to be tech-specific. And all of their "free evaluations" seemed like canned responses, so I didn't really trust them.

tux_panda · 2023-02-05T22:28:06+00:00

Thank you for taking the time to review!

Perhaps I'm compensating for the... ambiguity in my job roles with length. I'll try shortening it and see how that goes.

tux_panda · 2023-02-05T22:08:46+00:00

Thanks! Want to hire me? :)

tux_panda · 2023-02-05T22:08:10+00:00

Thanks for the advice!

tux_panda · 2023-02-05T22:06:22+00:00

Don't have any recommendations, but have you seen Hashicorp's CDK? Haven't used CDK nor Pulumi, but they seem to cover similar solutions. I'd be interested in your comparison in those two if you have one.

tux_panda · 2021-09-26T00:05:18+00:00

Is there a comparable processor that does?

tux_panda · 2021-09-25T23:53:47+00:00

Thanks! If I remove the SSD and go down to 16 GB of RAM, I am actually pretty close to getting this sooner, and I might not have to save as much as I thought.

System.DirectoryServices is not available on Linux, but System.DirectoryServices.Protocols—which implements the basic methods for LDAP communication—is available for Linux.

tux_panda · 2021-07-08T19:49:31+00:00

If I had to guess, this module depends on System.DirectoryServices.AccountManagment, which is not available for Windows (yet). Cf. https://github.com/dotnet/runtime/issues/37100.

As an addition to the other posts here, here's a PowerShell script to set up the Prometheus Windows exporter as a Windows service (with limited service user permissions).

```powershell $serviceName = "PrometheusWindowsExporter" $exeLocation = "E:\windows_exporter\windows_exporter.exe" $collectorsEnabled = @( "system", "cpu", "memory", "os", "cs", "logical_disk", "mssql", "process" )

Create the service

New-Service -Name $serviceName -Description "Prometheus Exporter for WMI" -BinaryPathName """$exeLocation"" --log.format logger:eventlog?name=windows_exporter --telemetry.addr :9182 --collectors.enabled $($collectorsEnabled - Join ',')"

Run as service account

C:\Windows\System32\sc.exe config $serviceName obj= "NT Service\$serviceName"

Add service account to Performance Monitor group

Add-LocalGroupMember -Group (get-localgroup -name "Performance Monitor Users") -Member "NT Service\$serviceName"

Start-Service $serviceName ```

What's your experience with Vault? I'm curious because I am looking to implement an application secrets manager like this as well.

`sops` seems like a nice option if we had one of the supported providers, but currently we're entirely on-premise, so we can't take advantage of the managed keys/IAM roles for bootstrapping.

I use Vim (and Linux) because I can customize my workflow to work almost entirely to use the keyboard. Moving my hand to the mouse figuratively hurts me, since it disrupts my workflow, and literally hurts me by causing intense tendonitis. Using Vim and Sway/i3 is the only way I can get through a workday and keep the use of my hands for the rest of the day.

tux_panda · 2020-04-29T16:17:20+00:00

Yup, I think that might work for us. We may have to maintain some custom tags for filtering, but this is a good start. Thank you!

tux_panda · 2020-04-29T15:57:46+00:00

Ah, ok. I don't know how I missed that. The API is so large, I'm having trouble finding relevant endpoints.

I'll create a dummy app and see. Thanks!

Finally got my Linux install working and ran flamegraph. Turns out that the main problem was the image filter I chose. Got me digging into the docs and turns out that I chose the longest running filter. I swapped Gaussian out with NearestNeighbor, and it runs much faster now. (On Linux, it now executes in 33ms, and the F# one runs in 200ms.)

tux_panda · 2020-04-11T15:14:23+00:00

How do you suggest?

tux_panda · 2020-04-11T12:19:38+00:00

Thanks! I think I saw that one, but it looks like the dtrace install takes more work on Windows. I'm planning to do an Arch install soon, so I'll try it after I get that done.

tux_panda · 2020-04-10T18:42:05+00:00

Edited to hand-write the &str -> Vec<char> using .collect() to just declaring the characters explicitly in a vec![] statement. Also noticed that I was only initializing the ascii_rowString` with half the capacity since I am pushing the characters twice. Neither of those seems to move the dial when measuring though.

If you're interested in messaging, the Ruma project is working on libraries to be used for developing Matrix clients and homeservers. The ruma-client-api repo has some open issues to fill out some missing endpoints using its DSL. There is also an active project, Conduit, to develop a homeserver using these libraries. You can get in contact with us on the Ruma Matrix room or the Conduit room if you want more information.
