As a way of keeping myself accountable, I'm going to do daily standups on Twitter.

Some people do journaling while others do blog posts. Me, I do brain dumps on technology, product, whatever I've been working on.

Let's go.

[Josh Allmann @joshallmann]

Checking Twitter after a hiatus and wow this place is stressful. See y'all later!

I love it when the newspaper front page is all local stories. Especially appreciate how it shows the impact of national and global events at home. Thanks @sdut

that feeling when you're back from vacation and there's been a power outage.

with bated breath - will the servers turn back on?

spoiler: mine didn't

[Josh Allmann @joshallmann]

@Scholars_Stage Which translations do you recommend for the non-English top 10?

[Josh Allmann @joshallmann]

@steren Inertia. Python is the ultimate lab leak - research code that got ported to production and now everyone uses it in a sad, emergent fait accompli

[Josh Allmann @joshallmann]

I really enjoy Statecraft from @rSanti97

Had an odd experience a few months ago, got kinda upset reading one of the newsletters. Felt weird - it's just an interview, dude?

I re-checked the interviewee: Russ Vought from OMB

idk why I'm sharing this but its been on my mind

@ByrneHobart Reminiscences of a Stock Operator

I was probably 13 or 14 when I first read it - and did not really understand all of it at the time, like what the heck is a ticker tape? - but it all seemed very cool somehow.

[Josh Allmann @joshallmann]

@the_engi_nerd At least with C++ you can static link to the extent possible and ship a single executable.

But Python ... yeah, no great options. Docker is common but that has its own operational issues. My condolences.

[Josh Allmann @joshallmann]

install notes for myself next time this happens:

apt-get install cuda-toolkit-12-8 nvidia-open linux-headers-$(uname -r)

[Josh Allmann @joshallmann]

machine went down over the weekend

everything's broken

GCP unattended upgrade strikes again

time to re-learn how to install cuda and the nvidia driver

[Josh Allmann @joshallmann]

this dev box was great until I had to start using docker

now random things like ssh agent forwarding break sporadically because docker eats up all the disk space

> debug1: Remote: Agent forwarding disabled: mkdtemp() failed: No space left on device
