My thoughts in response to the Nov. 18 Cloudflare outage and the prior AWS outage.

I was really hope for that to turn out well, but alas, but to Emacs or Neovim I go. I even paid for an Onivim2 license.

Right, exactly: when that much care is put into a resource, I truly feel that I enjoy it more, even if the material itself might seem dry at first. Those kinds of feeling books are truly special.

Rust is definitely different (and calmer imho) on bare metal. That said (as much of a Rust fanboy I am), I also enjoy Zig.

It's not really CS, but alongside the books you have listed (I have most of those physically and as eBooks!) I absolutely adore "The Art of Electronics" as the Bible to electronics. It's definitely helped me out immensely.

I honestly have a hard time seeing how you could confuse that, but maybe I'm biased because I've seen this terminology forever.

Completely agreed. Plus the fact that all my notes are in plain text, (somewhat) editable on my phone/iPad, and easily searchable, switching to something else doesn't make sense to me yet.

I've had a much better (and arguably as safe) time running CalyxOS or Graphene on my Pixel.

It feels like the best of both worlds.

Finally out of beta! Good to see.

I fairly often do something like this. I have a simple CLI project that I write that hits a few web APIs and reads a file. It's fairly simple, but these are the kind of basic things I want to know in each language.

I then benchmark it and go and try to make it as idiomatic according to that languages style.

This seems to go against the nature of open source, and almost feels wrong. I see how it enables monetisation (pay for my sponsor and you get both the app and source!) but I don't think I could justify using it.
