Dependencies have cost. You have to monitor for updates, notify the maintainer(s) of any bugs, keep an eye out for security vulnerabilities, and sometimes ( gasp ) even step through them with a debugger. Doing that for one dependency is bad

My first thought was that this is a UI Framework (Evergreen) built on UI Framework (React) built on a UI Framework (js + html). No real point here, but I do find it curious that there is this tendency to build new UI frameworks all the time

Kubernetes has a minimum node count. Moving to one node, saves cost, by a factor of 3. Not to mention all of the other resources it creates (load balancers).

by bthornbury 8y ago
Sure. The largest reason is cost. My small deployment (3 nodes) is running around $100 / mo on AWS (That's my app, nginx, redis, and postgres). It doesn't even need 3 nodes, I don't recall if 3 is the minimum, but realis

Sounds like you can get away with a bash script that calls rsync, and restarts the code on the server with ssh. (I deploy one of my websites this way, simple & reliable) If you're looking for something more legit: Ansible

The learning curve is sharp. The amount of things happening you don't have awareness of is also worrisome (to me). Source: I am also using Kubernetes in production, migrating off it soon.

Some comparisons between the cli of plash and equivalent commands in docker (only because I'm already familiar with it) would be pretty helpful.

Seconded, how do you get started with quantum algorithms, architecture, etc...

As I understand it, push only goes to a registry. So even with an ssh tunnel to the docker host tcp port, there's no obvious way to transport the image from your localhost. You should be able to "docker build" the image on th

Good, maintainable code has it's place in the engineering cycle. But so does quick, slapped-together code from late last night. Depending on the complexity and impact of either, you can progress in your career. College won't teach

A little bit on how this tool works. Usually you can easily push your local docker images by calling docker save, scp the tar file, then docker load on the remote host. The downside here is that you are pushing every layer of the entire ima

Very cool, would love to see more content on this topic. Setup guides of individual services, issues you've run into, more on hardware choices, and definitely more on your smart home setup.

What advantage does this have over enumerating the iterable and using the regular `map` and other such calls. In my mind, I'm thinking this creates something like a chain of generators in python, but would love if someone could explain

My interpretation: Death rates increase every year due to naturally occurring mechanisms in the body. Consider those mechanisms as a function with the body as a parameter and the output as a more aged body (or rather a body with higher prob

I think realistically the "transcribing" portion takes the bulk of the time. It's not just typing out the code, but the realizations of all the gaps in your mental model and false assumptions always seem to come during this s

> That said, you're going to be unemployable after 2 years. This is just BS. I quit about 2 years ago, and am turn down recruiters quite often, very employable. Stop trying to scare people on the fence.

by bthornbury 9y ago
Fundamentally this is true, but bringing yourself to the point where you "just quit" is quite difficult. I think you're ignoring a lot of human things like that a lot developers are quite isolated and working 60+ hours a week

I've noticed this too. Also the more popular answers are coming up over the more relevant results. Seems like changes that would be valuable for most instances of casual searching, but when it's an off-the-wall blog you've ne

For example, I've been working with Haproxy this week and it feels like every search is turning up the same 5 unrelated, but unhelpful articles. Not sure what changed, are other devs experiencing the same?

iOS is pretty good. The onus for dealing with rejected permissions (in many cases) is put onto the app developer. For example, if you make a photo editing app, you need to request access to the user's photo gallery at runtime of the ap

As an interested user, what is the difference here between traditional instrumentation like Application Insights? I understand this is intended for AWS Lambda, but what is it doing that makes it more suited?

It's straightforward logic. Serverless platforms increase convenience. Throwing them away decreases convenience and increases developer time to learn and launch. Many great inventions, like writing, automobiles, all increased conve

Might as well throw away the automobiles and go back to horses, they're cheaper on gas. Forget that they take more time to care for, and to learn how to ride, and how to feed properly.
