I think open source software providing (free) utility for everyone is just a side effect, not the original intend behind it. The original intent, as far as I'm aware, is to let users use and modify the software without restrictions. Th

Nice writeup. I've used https://www.singer.io/ to good effect in the past, seems like this is a similar, maybe more manual/custom approach.

Nice, this looks well thought out, thanks! Haven't played with it yet, but it looks like it can be used for 'normal' data science stuff as well as machine learning, is that right?

> Basically Ansible/Saltstack/Puppet/Chef _are_ the API for plain UNIX. I've never thought about it like that, but I think you're exactly right. That's a really useful way to think about it. To me, anyway.

Dunno, in my experience there is a long tail of use-cases where it is a more practical to work closer to system level (for different reasons: less complexity, political issues, legacy systems, etc.), so I don't think it's as black

It's not yet 100% ready for prime-time, and certainly not for hundreds of thousands of tasks, but I wrote a ...hm... generic framework-wrapping framework (using Ansible as the first and only currently supported 'framework' --

Right, seems like most problems are related to the Mac version. Wouldn't know about that, never had any noticable issues on Linux.

Neat, not having used rails ever, I didn't know about Arel. Speaking about composable sql, I've had some good success with dbt lately. It has a feature where it lets you 'compile' a query out of multiple select models. N

I don't think that is what parent wanted to say. It's still a lot of boilerplate code and config that can be avoided by using an ORM for the 'simple' parts of an application. And if you use a framework like sqlalchemy, y

My feeling is mainly because they don't need to for F/OSS, but need to for closed source software. I don't even think it's the money in a lot of cases, just the administrative effort around it. Could be wrong though.

I agree with the parent post, and the sibling. MIT doesn't make much sense in your scenario. Dual-licensing is usually a copy left license, and some sort of private/commercial license agreement to protect against the case the pare

Hm, difficult topic, I can see both sides. I'd be interested what would happen if npm decided to add a 'contains-ads' metadata field which package authors can set to true if they want to display adds. By default, those packag

Maybe for you, but there are use-cases and situations where this adds up, and has monetary effects. Container builds, or CI pipelines that run often would be one example. Sure, the things you mention are important, but all other things bein

Like everybody else here on the top-level comments, I've also wrote a tool for that :-) It's a wrapper for things like Ansible, Terraform, shell-scripts etc (Ansible is the only one with a working implementation so far), with the

Yeah, I know pulumi, and I'm working on something similar myself. Personally, in my experience, I don't think there's always too much logic, far from it. A lot of times you really only have a list of tasks that are executed

What would you like instead? Personally, for those type of things I never thought yaml was limiting in any way, but would be keen to hear what better options you think are out there. I like the simplicity and readability of yaml, as long as

If you do, please let me know how it goes! There might still be a few birthing-problems, but I'm fairly confident those can be fixed quickly.

Fair enough, I can see some of your points, but (obviously) I don't think they are entirely relevant, and my experience and view of Ansible is a different one. Also, Ansible is only one backend for freckles, it's just the first on
