NixOS + Raspi4

Download the image builder

  • git clone [email protected]:Robertof/nixos-docker-sd-image-builder.git
  • cd nixos-docker-sd-image-builder

Configure for Raspi4

  • modify /config/rpi4/default.nix to increase size of boot partition
    • this step is optional but I ran out of space in /boot pretty quickly with the default setting since I'm still learning and rebuilding a lot. Let's leave some room for trial & error.
    • sdImage.firmwareSize = 1024;
  • modify /config/sd-image.nix
  • ./rpi3 becomes ./rpi4

Stevey's Google Platforms Rant

Stevey's Google Platforms Rant

I was at Amazon for about six and a half years, and now I've been at Google for that long. One thing that struck me immediately about the two companies -- an impression that has been reinforced almost daily -- is that Amazon does everything wrong, and Google does everything right. Sure, it's a sweeping generalization, but a surprisingly accurate one. It's pretty crazy. There are probably a hundred or even two hundred different ways you can compare the two companies, and Google is superior in all but three of them, if I recall correctly. I actually did a spreadsheet at one point but Legal wouldn't let me show it to anyone, even though recruiting loved it.

I mean, just to give you a very brief taste: Amazon's recruiting process is fundamentally flawed by having teams hire for themselves, so their hiring bar is incredibly inconsistent across teams, despite various efforts they've made to level it out. And their operations are a mess; they don't real

Nice, useful global Git configuration
# Put this in your ~/.gitconfig or ~/.config/git/config
# Windows users: "~" is your profile's home directory, e.g. C:\Users\<YourName>
