OpenVPN server was my number 1. Being able to VPN back into my home from anywhere in the world was amazing. I can’t really remember any other, since it was more than a few years ago.

OH MAN. I worked on an Android tablet that used a rockchip CPU, not the one listed here but an older one (I think RK3026). What a PIECE OF SHIT. I don’t wish that tablet on my worst enemy. Battery life was like sub 2 hours with a 3200 mAh battery. Sometimes it would start running hot, and you could watch the batter percentage go down one percent every 10-20 seconds. The only way to break it out was to reboot it or let it die.
We later upgraded our CPU to the 3288, one gen older than this one, and it was significantly improved, but still very entry level.
Yes, I was shocked at how small it is. I had no experience working with such limited resources going into this project. Our router had 32MB of storage. At one point I was looked into adding a python interpreter, and it was like 11MB. The Lua interpreter is like 250KB. Tiny!
Also, the ternary operator has the best syntax of any language I have ever used.
x = [condition] and [true value] or [false value]
No question marks or colons or anything weird. It’s a logical extension of &&
and ||
after commands in bash using keywords since it is a verbose language. I wish every language had this syntax.
For contrast, python is:
x = [true value] if [condition] else [false value]
It just seems weird to me to have the condition in the middle.
The web UI backend stuff is all done in Lua. So receiving and processing forms was all Lua. My main feature that I implemented was a REST API that was called from another product that my company sold. So I had to do all the REST API processing and data validation and whatnot in Lua.
I don’t really have recommendations, because I really only knew our product. If I knew what I get, I probably would have got that instead of the Asus router that I ended up with when I had to return my work materials.
I was the lead engineer on an Openwrt router for 2 years at my old job. Their documentation is complete and utter shit, but their design is extremely intuitive. Whenever I said to myself, “hell, let’s just try this and see if it works,” it had an insanely high success rate.
I didn’t know Lua going into this project, but when I left the company, it made me really wonder why more people don’t use Lua. It’s a really nice language.
I really enjoyed having my own open source router that I could just drop new features into by adding packages and recompiling. I was sad when I had to send all my dev units back.
In the winter months, I live off of unsweetened herbal tea with no caffeine.
You haven’t thought of the smell, you bitch!
Well, sure. I type on my laptop that doesn’t have any of these as physical keys. It’s fn+arrow keys for pg up, pg down, home, and end, for example.
You don’t use Home? Home and End are my two most used keys on this list. IDEs move your cursor to the beginning of the line but after the indents. It’s God -tier.
Good food in convenience stores.
That technology just hasn’t made it to the US yet.
Congratulations! This might be the worst advice ever posted to on the internet!
This was when he was in highschool, by the way.
My friend was once accused of plagiarism because one of those automated programs came back saying there was a match. It was his name. He has a very common first and last name. He went to plead his case to his teacher, and she wouldn’t even hear him out.
I’m so glad I went to school before those things existed.
I think there is a bias here we need to be aware of. If you saw it before the meme, you may have just disregarded it and moved on with your life. If you saw it after the meme, you would make a mental note of it.
It’s not for me, but what other people do with their time is their business.
They said they are messaging them on Matrix, a separate app.
Both California and Texas are massive - larger than many countries. There is no one culture for either. I don’t think we have enough information to give you an answer.
I’m really confused by what metric Oklahoma gives off a Canadian vibe other than the name sounding like it according to you. It most likely sounds like it to you because it is a Native American word.
I remember being upset about the exact same thing when 4G first launched.
