Put a caching reverse proxy in front of dynamic content, like Varnish. That way the technically less inclined can keep using traditional UIs. Keep in mind most people don't even grok the static/dynamic distinction, they just want

Have you tried Google Lens? It offers an experience I'd tolerate, given that one finds a way to remove the need to tap the screen …

Yep but I was looking for a turnkey solution. What you describe are workarounds. I tried several grocery management apps, and a lot of these did just that: Prompt me for data when a barcode did not result in a matched product. This is not t

Yep it's unmai rained and I couldn't find any good alternatives. Which is why I put the whole grocery tracking thing on hold. Barrier here is the lack of accessible data for me

Yeah tried it with a variety of products. It doesn't know about enough products, makes entry unreliable. Think of utmost importance here is that the entry works very reliably, if I have to fallback to manual entry on every fifth produc

Re data entry: was thinking this through a lot recently. Basically what I'd like to build requires either (1) product recognition vision like Google Lens offers, or (2) a barcode scanner and an extensive barcode product database. Bot

Declarative data binding?

This works fine until it does not, for example when dealing with custom UI controls, which is when reality sets in and you find yourself wrangling HTML IDs, XPaths and CSS selectors again.

Yes but that in-house database software did not fall from sky. Google developers wrote it. Remember their interview process is generalised. Even for candidates not expected to implement databases, they test for the awareness of tradeoffs po

Google's requirements differ. Also if the interview question was about distributed systems, "I'll just use Postgres" is not super constructive

Well you can't run OpenStack on Kubernetes, but the other way round works. They target infrastructure at different levels of abstraction
133.
by bauerd 7y ago
OpenStack and Kubernetes serve different purposes. Despite the article, Kubernetes at its core really is a container orchestrator. OpenStack is a collection of software you'd use for running a mini-AWS on bare metal infrastructure.

Are there any negative consequences to this "misuse"?

I used to do the same thing, but adding one node meant I had to reprovision all other nodes so each had an updated config file written and reloaded. I decided I want something akin to DHCP, which seems to be worked on here: https:/&#x

RethinkDB is pretty much dead at this point I think?

Some ecosystems even eschew manpages. For example, I wouldn't know how to ship manpages as part of a Ruby gem, it's discouraged iirc

Need it to integrate with tooling I use, orchestrators, etc.

I know but I need an OCI runtime.

If only one of the BSDs had a container runtime, it's the only real showstopper for me

>What does that have to do with ethics, really? The argument seems to be that utility should outweigh ethical concerns. It's called utilitarianism and here it demonstrates nicely that ethics comes in various flavors

The old version works fine, if you're aware of these workarounds, and these workarounds will not be shut down I for one don't have an account, so I would get nagged by their popups constantly. It was a perfectly fine website, the

You're free to have queue and workers run on the same machine, just bind to loopback. As soon as you deal with more than one machine, which is required in HA scenarios, you deal with a networked (distributed) system. I might not have u

>An ideal solution to this would have been to just go talk to the stakeholders - product/sales team - ask them if the delay could be potentially customer losing. And if it is, by all means put in the extra hours, work those weekends

Not sure why different libraries would be an architectural smell. Not only Redux projects vary greatly in what they bolt onto their state management. I've used Redux successfully on its own. The dataflow pattern it mandates is importan
