The Song of Deborah may be older than the Rig Veda, and that's already pretty young compared to the properly ancient stuff from Egypt and Mesopotamia.

Plenty of things can be older than 3400 years if you go by philological theory. It's completely different from a text that's actually, provably, archeologically at least 3400 years old.

Much like everywhere in Europe, the Spanish population is stable since the Bronze Age. Subsequent invasions are anecdotal. Considering the European population is generally very young and homogeneous compared to that of other continents, it

I learnt the most about compilation, and really raw computing, when as a late teenager I was trying to make sense of decompiled code[1]. I would thoroughly recommend it to anybody trying to learn. The laboriousness is what makes it worthwhi

I've never spent more than 400 or 500$ on a laptop. Plenty of good enough stuff on the second hand market if you go after business laptops. But it's never my main machine (I can't understand doing anything productive with 14&

The Kindle I got last year is one of the best purchases I've ever made, I can't believe I went all that time without an ereader. Having to convert epubs to azw3 is the only minor inconvenience.

I've not used postgres-on-k8s in any real production workload so my opinion on the matter isn't worth glozing about. I'd rather recommend the blog posts and docs fly.io did on it[1]. They themselves rely on Stolon[2]. AFAIK t

> Epistemology is a field which is sadly usually confined to religious schools. Funny that you're mentioning that, the Epistemology classes I took in university while I was studying History were some of my favourites.

That's been my experience as well. I'm much happier in my 30s, having enough experience that I've learned to let go and accept existential dread for the useless bother that it is, than I was in my 20s. Truly realizing that no

I used to think of stateful applications on top of k8s as an anti-pattern until I learned a bit more about some databases uses and changed my entire opinion about what k8s is . If you're coming from the container world, it makes sense

Yeah, I might be thinking of it as simpler than it really is just out of habit. Though it has to be said than most Kubernetes resources are pretty pedestrian, with habit you know where to look for the meaningful bits (much like any other fo

I actually used to sed configurations, now I use yq[0] whenever I need to programatically edit YAML/JSON. It has much less side effects. But for Kubernetes manifests specifically, the right tool for the job is Kustomize[1] (which in th

I've used k9s every day for the last 6 months and it's really superior to everything if you have any vi-fu. It even plays nice with the terminal emulator's colour scheme. It's simply an all-around pleasant experience i

If anything, "replacing C" is a good excuse to stimulate creativity. The scope is known, the land well trodden. I like seeing new things in programming languages and OS design. I like nerds having fun and giving me interesting stu

I was about to recommend CuriousMarc. I don't know where I found out about him, perhaps on HN, but watching someone knowledgeable geek out in depth about ancient computing (beyond the Apollo stuff) really does scratch an itch.
