I have been full-time at a standing desk for almost two years now. Except in long meetings (which happens rarely), I don’t sit. I wondered if I could do more with my feet than just standing. What if I could use a foot pedal? Some use cases could be scrolling up/down, muting/unmuting in a meeting, pausing/continuing in OBS, etc.
How many subscribers does my blog have? It’s difficult to answer the question.
A simple HTTP server serves static HTML, Javascript, CSS, Images, etc. Sometimes you need a bit of dynamic content from the server-side. There are simple microframeworks to mega frameworks to achieve this. You could use any of these available web frameworks on the server side. But let’s say you don’t have access to any of those frameworks, and you want it to be simple and lightweight. You could try CGI.
Or you are just a web geek and want to spend an hour on old but interesting technology.
I often try to use Docker with my Digdag workflows. That way, we can keep the dependencies clean and separate for each DAG. I have blogged about it in detail before. Now instead of Docker, I can use Podman, by just making one small change.
I like to use the same stack again and again. It makes me productive, makes code less buggy, and builds knowledge over time. Unless there is a real need like unmaintained software or a different kind of application or unless I am going to build a Facebook or Google, I rarely change things in this stack. Even if I am going to build Facebook, I would start here and then adjust as it grows, just like Facebook did with it’s stack.
All credit to my curiosity in radio should go to RadioCity. As far as I know, it was the first private FM and started its first station in Bangalore. It used to broadcast 91.0 MHz (now 91.1). There was nothing like that in 2001. I went to national market and got myself a cheap pocket radio. It still works. I have been curious about radios since then.
