OpenResty + Lua ftw

lemcoe9 · 4 months ago

Absolutely. For me, OpenResty combined with a custom Lua script solved an incredibly complicated business problem that I ran into a couple years ago, and now that arrangement serves thousands of complex requests per day. With Nginx and that custom code combined into a single configuration, not requiring a separate backend service, we turned a complicated problem into a very simple one!

ip4.me and related websites actually inspired me to create a more-whimsical version of the website, which I call ipkitten.com. Not only do you get your IP address, User Agent, and approximate geolocation, but you also get a kitten GIF!

It also works from the command line, like this:

  $ curl ipkitten.com
  4.2.2.2

I am sure that Kevin has saved engineers and other IT people tons of headache and time with his simple, helpful, and ad-free tools.

Another shameless plug for my website, you can use ipkitten.com to get your public IP address from your terminal:

  $ curl ipkitten.com
  27.44.144.144

And if you visit it in a browser, you get your IP address and a kitten GIF!:

An NVIDIA RTX 4090 generates 73 TFLOPS. This iPad gives you nearly half that. The memory bandwidth of 120 GBps is roughly 1/10th of the NVIDIA hardware, but who’s counting!

lemcoe9 · 2 years ago

The 4090 costs ~$1800 and doesn't have dual OLED screens, doesn't have a battery, doesn't weigh less than a pound, and doesn't actually do anything unless it is plugged into a larger motherboard, either.

As someone who works as a broadcast engineer at a Major League Baseball stadium and has interacted with numerous ballpark security employees, the use of facial recognition software is quite widespread in professional sporting venues, both to identify "do not fly list" individuals (banned, trespassed, known terrorist, etc.) and "VIP list" (local and larger politicians, high net-worth individuals, celebrities, corporate magnates, etc.) people.

It also dramatically reduces the amount of time it takes to locate missing children, which is an almost-daily occurrence.

Just like not wearing seatbelts is safer, since you get thrown clear of the wreck?

Officers get in waaaay more physical altercations than quick-draw duels at the OK Corral. Lack of safety switches is only more advantageous to the subjects they inevitably end up grappling with, who have one less step to deal with in removing the officer's service weapon and using it against them.

And that is why police officers use Level 3 holsters.

If I'm not mistaking some Sig P320 models come without a safety switch. However, one could, you know, not keep a round in the chamber, especially if there is no safety switch... So yeah, the users does carry some of the blame.

lemcoe9 · 3 years ago

In general, handguns with active safety levers are considered less-safe than firearms without active safeties when being carried in proper holsters (ones where the trigger area is completely covered) because of the additional steps required to use the firearm when it is deployed. Having a pistol come out of the holster ready-to-fire is always going to be advantageous to having to remember to manipulate the safety lever, ensure the firearm is loaded, ensure the firearm is in-battery, etc. when the time comes.

Where do you go to read up on this?

lemcoe9 · 3 years ago

Product reviews, trigger specifications, and such. It really is just a matter of personal preference. Firearms like Glocks don't have "active safeties" where you enable/disable them with a lever, but they do have a variety of "inactive safeties" which prevent the firearm from discharging when dropped/rattled/whatever.

Is this a new thing? And if so, given that iPhone have been around so long why is this new?

lemcoe9 · 3 years ago

It is definitely not new, at all.
