This is a really fantastic guide. I agree with everything from the O’Brien Must Suffer episodes to the ridiculously silly ones like Little Green Men. Very well done.

I didn’t say he shouldn’t use containerization. He just shouldn’t have used Docker. Docker has always been very dev environment focused.

by chrismeller 4y ago
True, but even the author covered that. No one has mentioned Docker.

by chrismeller 4y ago
This is why you shouldn't be using Docker in production. It's a great tool, but it's simply not designed for that kind of environment. Edit: note I said Docker specifically, nothing about containerization.

Best practice is to do envelope encryption where you encrypt the data with one key, then you encrypt that key with another (hence envelope). That allows you to routinely rotate the outer key without having to laboriously re-encrypt the actu

You could also compare C# to Typescript and F#, both of which adopted pattern matching and a lot of the “algorithmic” features way before C# did. I personally don’t like a lot of the “a’ of list b’” nomenclature because I’m bad at algebraic

I think you’re over-exaggerating the impact to dismiss the premise. Endocrine disrupters don’t generally lead to death, they lead to developmental and hormone disorders, ADHD, etc. All of these things are on the uptick.

In my first job we had several UPSes for racks of equipment that had been augmented with marine batteries for longer life and all the batteries were on slats of wood to keep them off the floor. I asked and got the same answer you did - they

I realize it has absolutely nothing to do with this specific article, but I’m amazed that the Venn diagram of people who buy hipster olive oils and people who don’t want more single-use plastics doesn’t overlap more.

I had the same question. I think it’s that he also complains about LastPass storing things in memory, so perhaps the GC thing just makes it more difficult to analyze what it’s doing in memory? In a non-GC language you’d be able to see exp

The Ontario Provincial Police can also seize your car, though I believe it’s temporary. One of the suburbs of Toronto also has signs up saying that they’ll seize your car if you’re doing something like 50kph over the limit, but I can’t for

In Estonia I believe anyone who holds more than 10% of shares has to be listed for a public company while private has to list everyone.

Toyota Baltic has a shareholder and beneficial owner listed, which seems to be compliant. SIA Toyota Material Handling is the registration of a foreign company (Latvia), and says beneficial owner information isn’t required, presumably becau

I had an ordeal involving Rackspace a while back. They switched their Cloud Files (S3-like) service to having a $5 minimum per month with no warning, so my bills shot up from 86 cents. No big deal other than the lack of communication, I mov

I was thinking it’s just relative to energy prices keeping all this infrastructure plugged in, but that only makes sense (kinda) for storage.

Fun fact, Estonia’s commercial register is still available and, as far as I can tell, never had anything to do with complying with EU regulation, but was completely internally legislated. Similar to the US federal law vs. states, one not en

Wasn’t one of the supposed reasons the FCC doesn’t allow it in the US because it would annoy the F out of other passengers? I mean we used to have in-seat phones, but they were prohibitively expensive so it cut down on the issue.

Ah, ok. Well personally that seems even worse. Adding new things to the existing “version” just seems crazy.

You don’t need it if you’re expecting the current 2022-11-28 version, but it seems like you’ll need it to “opt-in” to any future ones, which presumably includes new endpoints that don’t even exist in the current.

I mean, of course we’d all like our engineering managers to be the technical variety, but we all know there are also the less technical “people people” managers in the pipeline.

I may be (probably am) being stupid, but do any of the benchmarks they publish actually compare it with the original PyTorch version?

While I agree with the build times issue and some of the complexity issues, since TS keeps adding new F#-like features I find dubious… isn’t this the classic argument of strongly typed vs loosely typed, just taken down a level? Using _basic

I also found it odd that they switched from URL versioning to an HTTP header. Sure if I’m writing an integration that’s no big deal, but it makes it more of a PITA to do things from the CLI with curl.

Ditto. COBOL and RPG aren’t sexy, but they pretty much run the world from healthcare to airlines.

Modern PHP apps also would be using Nginx and phpfpm, but it ends up being the same - copying files over.
