I never thought I’d ever have to deal with the special cases of IP address ranges. It’s a miracle that this IPv4 thing ever worked.

This seems to be all held together by handshakes and pinky promises.

This is Part 2.1 by @deanberris in the Career Crafting series, hot off the presses!

I just published Modern SWE: Career Crafting —  Part 2.1: Specialise or Generalise!

This was a long time coming, because I kept trying to fit in all the ideas in a single article. Now this is sub-part 1/4!

@GergelyOrosz I still feel like Distributed Computing is still chugging along nicely, especially with the focus on resiliency, performance, efficiency, AND security (not OR). It’s plumbing, but it enables so much of the modern SaaS products we interact with everyday.

[Dean Berris @deanberris]

@cliffordheath Thanks, thankfully I haven't had to deal with that one myself. 😂

[Dean Berris @deanberris]

CVS and RCS anyone? I even remember migrating my project (cpp-netlib) from CVS to SVN on SourceForge!

😭

[Sumit Kumar @TweetsOfSumit]

Who else is so old, they used SVN as version control before git?

It's Friday night, and I'm off doing some writing in between fatherly duties... so that means it's newsletter time!

@Shazwazza @davidfowl Not many, to be honest. Until you brought it up, I’ve never heard of Orleans. I just looked at the native integrations in .NET Aspire and saw Dapr. 😂

[Dean Berris @deanberris]

I can’t believe it. I just recommended .NET Aspire and Dapr.

Am I fully in the distributed computing business now?

@hankadusikova Wait. What does that even mean? Coroutines in constexpr evaluation time?!

I… like it? 😂

[Dean Berris @deanberris]

It’s been years since I’ve used C++ daily and I’m starting to miss it and the friends I’ve made in the community. Makes me want to get back to low level, high performance, low latency, high throughput programming even as a hobby. ❤️

I’m super excited about this blogpost. The approach is so counterintuitive, and yet the results are so much better than anything else that we’ve tried for memory safety. We finally understand why.

@shanselman Maybe all the articles are loaded in a SPA? 😂

The handwriting recognition and fix up feature in iPadOS 18 Notes app is pure magic. 🤯

@Em_TeeGee I remember reading this when it came out and thought it was overpowered for a one-drop. Years later and it still is!

It has been 0 days since I inadvertently clicked on a button on a UI that moved from under me just as I was about to click on something else. 🤬🤬🤬
