I am not a fan of Go, and I also wish these things were true (and more[1], actually), but I find it hard to agree that its priorities are "terribly misplaced." Inside the context of Go's goals ( e.g. , "compile fast&quot

Oh, I see. Some properties that are not as well-typed as they could be, that's true. We are working on that. But there are lots of properties that do have good typing. Instance types, for example.

Yeah, Tilt has a couple of different ways of providing similar functionality. In one mode, they simply rebuild the container and ship update Kubernetes on each file modification. In another mode, they boot a dev container in the pod and the

Ah—unions of strings (e.g., `"foo" | "bar"`) effectively are enums in TypeScript and JavaScript. They are autocompleted and type-checked at compile time, so you should get exactly the same behavior. Even exhaustiveness

I don't think I understand, but am happy to help clarify. That is a TypeScript file where the type `DatabaseInstance` is defined. It's a completely normal TypeScript type—it will get picked up by editors, verified by the compiler,

`DatabaseInstance` not only has TypeScript type definitions, it's actually written in pure TypeScript: https://github.com/pulumi/pulumi-gcp/blob/master/sdk/nodejs/... Pulumi also does have

Hmm... just to set the record straight, Pulumi definitely does have TypeScript type definitions for all resource types, across all of our providers, and it has had them since our initial launch. Happy to help you debug why you're not g

We have a Docker[1] library which allows you to build and push Docker a container—you can plug that directly into the `image` field and it should work. I'm _guessing_ that eventually `watch` will eventually make this more automated, bu

[Pulumi kube co-lead here] I agree with most of this, but would go further. My experience (here and at Heptio) is that no one _chooses_ Kubernetes. They choose Docker, and then they (i.e., the infra team) effectively have to choose ECS or K

Ha! I co-lead these efforts, and what I will say is that we try not to "lead the witness" here. :) So customers choose Kubernetes, and then we help them, but we don't help them to choose Kubernetes, so to speak.

Oh wow! I co-lead these efforts at Pulumi. I don't think we expected this to hit HN! :) Happy to answer questions about any of this. Parenthetical, one thing that didn't make it into this post that I'm particularly optimistic

Pulumi is declarative. You can't tell Pulumi what to do, you can only tell it what you want. (Disclosure: I work on Pulumi.)

It can be a pretty big pain to get local versions of your all your k8s services running on, say, minikube. Tilt makes this really easy because you're developing your app against the real services in your cluster.

Raft is certainly easier to explain , but it's hard to argue that Raft is more practical . For one thing, implementing Raft in a performant way is incredibly difficult. Where paxos has very fine-grained units of consensus ( e.g. , ba

No, that's not correct. As I said elsewhere in the thread, my family is Wasq'u, and we spoke Kiksht, a dialect of Upper Chinook that Chinook Wawa borrows from. The boardings schools implemented on the reservations had the stated a

What a strange thing to see on HN. I am from Wasq'u tribe, and one of the very few people on the planet who has a dictionary for Kiksht Awawat, the dialect of upper Chinook from which the Chinook Wawa borrows many words. There are perh

Ah, someone beat me to submitting it. I wrote the `kubespy`, the OSS tool which this post is about. Happy to answer questions if people have them.

Pulumi is meant to replace CloudFormation/ARM Templates/Kubernetes YAML. So if you write those things to provision infrastructure, this could be for you. If you are writing (e.g.) Rails code that you `git push` to a PaaS like Hero

I was a part of the alpha testing and I liked it so much I added Kubernetes support in my free time. A thing I notice about the space is that existing tooling tends to be very focused on a specific persona (e.g., ops), and when you want to

The original idea was to write little entries as we continued the Linux port, explaining why certain things are they way they are -- a sort of tour of a very serious production system. I still love the idea, but unfortunately, I think it is

I work at Microsoft (though not on the WSL team), and my opinion is that this article (and, in particular, this title) has undesirable and somewhat misleading implications. It is important, I think, to view this as something closer to a _Li

Huh, is it really true that Reservoir Sampling is not well-known? It was part of the standard curriculum in my top-30-but-not-top-10 CS school, the University of Utah. I think that even a significant subset of my cohort could explain the co

My favorite part about this is the introduction, where the authors relate functional programming to Haiku and Karate. Haiku and Karate are both intricate, beautiful, highly regimented arts. But only one is useful in a bar fight, and the peo

I doubt it is, and I don't think I'd get in trouble for sharing it. But, it's not my job to decide whether or not that information should be shared, because it's not my job to speak for the company. I'm having a har
