I wrote up what I was trying to share on the show about my usual-approach to #git and #asdf #systems (in #lisp). #programming #itch #itch_io #devlog #gamedev er, sharpsign technical discussion. #commonLisp.

Aptly titled. If you know A Better Way, I would like to talk about that here.

Or, also if you currently use a language that works very differently to this.

Just in time for FOSDEM, I put my latest fun systems debugging story up. This one is about a mysterious performance problem in a relay server for a popular VPN service:

While have plenty of work with my ngnfs contract, I always enjoy new challenges. If you have a systems problem you need solved, I offer free consultations:

Do you have any fun debugging stories? Reply and I will boost. And come say hi if you're at FOSDEM!

Resumed Technical Comparison: Linux vs. BSD

Linux and BSD are two influential families of open-source operating systems with distinct philosophies, architectures, and use cases. Although they share UNIX roots, their development paths, licensing models, and system design set them apart.

On August 13 President #Biden toured #cancer #research #facilities at Tulane University in New Orleans and deemed the developments "incredible."

Why it matters:
⭐️He announced about $150 million in federal awards during the visit as part of his #cancer "#moonshot" initiative that aims to ❇️cut the cancer death rate in half by 2047. ❇️

The big picture:

"We are the land of possibilities," the president said, adding that the funding will help get new tools into operating rooms.

Nearly 2 million Americans are diagnosed with solid tumor cancers each year, and #surgical #removal is often the first step in their treatment, the White House said.

Tulane is getting $22.9 million to invent 💥new imaging systems that will allow surgeons to see in real time if they removed all cancer cells while their patients are still under anesthesia.
It currently can take days to weeks for doctors to know if all of a tumor has been removed, according to J. Quincy Brown, the lead researcher on Tulane's project called MAGIC-SCAN.
💥The goal is to get that down to 10 minutes within the next five years, he said.

Zoom out:
Seven other teams are working on additional developments geared at making #tumor-#removal #surgeries more successful.

The awardees are
Dartmouth College,
Johns Hopkins University,
Rice University,
University of California in San Francisco,
University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign,
University of Washington and
Cision Vision in California.

Their projects include inventing a #new #microscope and creating #new #imaging #systems to visualize blood vessels and nerves

Hello Fediverse! It's time for a new instance #introduction, having recently migrated to BSD.Cafe :freebsd_logo: from hachyderm.io.

The neurosurgeons said I wouldn't wake up from the coma, but they were wrong.
Then they said I'd never walk or talk again, but they were wrong.

I never expected to reach forty, and so often now I wonder, "how long will the 🧠 tumor let me live?"

Professionally, I'm a Principal Systems Architect focused on performance engineering for "global edge compute" workloads. This year marks two ticks from having worked for a quarter-century in the tech industry. 💾 :sparc64: 🥰

Personally, my interests range from backcountry telemark skiing and long-range marksmanship in the wilderness, to berries and bunnies and everything in-between as long as it's cute and pink and sweet and made of hearts! 💗

Dave Mills has passed on. He created the Network Time Protocol (NTP) in 1985 to synchronize time across different computer systems and networks. https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2024/01/inventor-of-ntp-protocol-that-keeps-time-on-billions-of-devices-dies-at-age-85/

He also is the subject of this #XKCD comic (pictured). https://xkcd.com/2347/

What a life and impact Dave has made on all of us, especially when you use the internet.

#DistrictCooling and other #infrastructure and #archtectural changes can help increase the efficiency of #cooling #systems and radically reduce the #energy such systems use even as exponentially more people in more places are finally able to access the lifesaving benefits of artificially and more naturally cooled air.

Everything, Everywhere, All at Once #ClimateChange #solutions abound.

@nukie

#germany effectively doesn't have a #border since 2015.

#millions of young men #refugees entered germany since then and more continue coming.

this will inevitably lead to #social #systems #collapse and social #unrest.

the far #left #socialist #federal #government will increase #moneyprinting and #taxation to give out helicopter #money to the people and finance -doomed to fail- central planned #climate #change projects.

Good evening :fediverse: ! In this evening's #ConnectionList #introduction, where I try to connect folks across #Mastodon, please meet;

@algfutures and @AlgFuturesLab - our first two accounts on https://fediverse.au ? The Algorithmic Futures Podcast is hosted by @eltwilliams and @ZenaAssaad and if you missed my post this morning, it covers topics like #algorithms #justice #systems #complexity and #cybernetics.

@upulie is into #nanotechnology and #molecular #biology and they are looking to connect with other #science #scientist folks ?

For folks in #AI and #ML #machinelearning, you may want to follow @NeuripsConf for all the #NeurIPS2022 goodness

@alexkidman is a #tech #journo #journalist and host of the Vertical Hold #podcast. Loves #coffee (ohai!! ☕ )

@kgt Kathryn is a #Nyungar #technologist and #activist who works with EFA and the Overland Journal

@PatrickNunn is an #academic #researcher #Professor of #Geography at University of the Sunshine Coast. He's an #author of two books - "The Edge of Memory" and "Worlds in Shadow".

@danielnazer is a #lawyer with @mozilla and I'm incredibly appreciative of his work on #IP #intellectualproperty

@MagdaSzubanski needs no introduction. Someone I admire from far for her openness, as a fellow fat, and for teaching me that compassion goes a long way.

That's all for this evening, I've got some work to do tonight, but please post your own #ConnectionList ?
