I had exactly this problem, and honestly the easiest thing to do was set up a $12/mo VPS and use actual cron. I evaluated the cloud scheduled function you laid out there and was like "...nah".

The way it's "sustainable" is that it's not a fossil fuel (well, currently it's 50% fossil fuel, they hope it can be 100% fossil fuel free by 2030), so it's just part of the normal carbon cycle like forest fi

I think what happens outside of microservices shops is that "the Java people" write their own library, "the Python people" write their own, etc. Is that a little bonkers? No more bonkers than wrapping services with other

I don't think this is really a truism, but maybe! But like, even Google says, "you can choose any language as long as it's C++, Go, Java, or mayyyyyybe Python". That's pretty manageable, and probably the worst probl

This is a big thing that happens w/ microservices: your system is implemented as a Tower of Babel (it's oddly touted as a feature). In that scenario, you no longer have good choices, you're constantly reimplementing things wi

I hate Docker (honestly I can't believe the MacOS version requires a Linux emulator :rolleyes:), but it basically is the best way to run server software. The only major alternative is Nix, which might actually work out.

I want to try and avoid snark etc. here but, good god like 99% of microservices this should be a library. Honestly I feel like microservices has just lost the plot entirely.

Yeah I mean, I think I'm a little in the same boat as you. I think they're cool too. I do think there are uses (anti-spam, authentication of ownership/authenticity), though I think any use needs the transactions/sec numb

Proponents of decentralization should be heralding Binance's demise, as it represents the strongest force for centralization in the crypto world. Also yeah OP is basically about CZ and Binance, not all crypto people everywhere.

by camgunz 3y ago
You don't need to dig into the ideology of crypto to make the argument that Binance's business was essentially money laundering and sanctions avoidance. But if you do, you'll have no trouble finding people arguing that duckin

Hey literally every publication in the world vs one dude on HN. I'm afraid we're at a stalemate sir.

Woof. Ok here we go. "Their country" -- turns out when people say "my country", they mean the country they live in. So "western Jewish populations" refers, in large part, to Jewish people in America who call th

by camgunz 3y ago
It says western Jewish populations, referring to the Jewish diaspora in the West. This is in no way about Israel.

Nah, I'm not. It might seem like I'm arguing my own point of view here, but all I'm doing is echoing what every pro-Jewish group has written about the post, which neither Musk or its author have disagreed with. You're no

The whole tweet ( https://twitter.com/breakingbaht/status/1724892505647296620 ) repeats the antisemitic trope that there's a Jewish conspiracy to "flood" Western countries with immigrants to dilute wh

Strong agree; I wish companies worked harder to support and develop managers. They're crucial to team success--and I would even argue to the individual development of the people they manage.

I don't think you're wrong per se, but I hesitate to say that the problems we have are that everyone individually but also en masse decided to move to the suburbs and also drive big honkin' cars everywhere, all the time. I th

I gotta say I don't deeply understand ActivityPub, but one of the first things I thought when trying to grok it was "how does this improve on RSS?". Like another commenter here I think a big part of it is that it's JSON

(Oh my hometown!) Huh I hadn't realized this might be an issue; thanks for the info. I know roads are rated for weight but I didn't think electric buses might have been so heavy to generally exceed it.

Most of Europe is small, walkable cities. There are of course still highways and city roads, but most things here function as you're describing. Come on over, the water's warm ;)

by camgunz 3y ago
I'm a little naive to the weight problem, is it really an issue for like, buses? Is this actually an area where trams (gasp!) are better?

To be fair I'm not saying ban all cars, but otherwise you're right. Over the last ~100 years a lot of cultures and activities have grown up around super easy car ownership and use. Just like, teaching your kid to drive is a big cu

Hah! Yeah ok fair. I think along with the 90/95 thing I'd like to see us think more in terms of incentives, trajectories, and underlying causes. People are practically entirely the products of systems and cultures, and whenever we
