Whether you support trump or not, the level of patronage that corporations seem to think is needed is disturbing. I've never seen companies stoking a presidents ego so publicly. If there comes a day in the future where the header of ev

100%. I used to love meetups in sf via meetup back in the day, really genuine people wanting to learn new things at the time. When that platform collapsed, it basically wasn’t replaced at all. Same thing could be said of the academic side o

I did something similar for autogenerating RSpec tests in a Rails project. https://gist.github.com/czhu12/b3fe42454f9fdf626baeaf9c83ab3... It basically starts from some model or controller, and then parses the Ruby cod

It certainly feels like the need for climate change adaptation that's been foretold for years is starting to happen. There’s quite a bit of blame being thrown around regarding details like how much water was in the reservoir and the DE

The title of this article is “6 Best Cities To Be Homeless in the US”. The article also says that two of them have made little to no progress with their homelessness (san Diego and Berkeley). And the others are still struggling with the pro

Absolutely amazing work. I wonder what kind of funding / model could make something like this sustainable. Presumably, as manufacturing processes change, everything on this list has to be re-tested again? The current website has no way

I’ve noticed that the new form of cold emails is inviting you to a podcast. I’ve gotten at least 5 of those in the past month, hosted by companies that just so happen to sell software or services that are relevant in our industry.

I worked significantly in both Django and Rails, and I found the most magical part of rails is its ORM (ActiveRecord). I find both SQLAlchemy and DjangoORM both more awkward and less natural to use, both for the query side and the relations

I’ve found it effective in the past as a manager to assign the implementation of a feature, end to end to a junior developer, and basically rubber stamp their PRs. Our company has a culture of expecting the person who wrote the code to supp

Yeah so we used Vagrant way way back in the day to have an easy way to distribute dev environments. Definitely not an expert here as to all the alternatives, but for what we had, the devex felt fine.

Can someone explain what VMWare does so well that allows them to do this for someone totally uninformed? No where I've worked at has used VMWare, but everywhere I've worked used containers or VM's of some sort. Even in the ea

Same thing happened to us. Moved to kubernetes 2 years and we had to rebuild all the features of Heroku in house against a kubernetes backend. I’ve been working in my spare time to try to create an open source version of this, in case it wo

Funnily enough, we made the exact same transition from heroku to DigitalOceans managed Kubernetes service, and saved about 75%. Presumably this means that had we moved from heroku to hetzner, it would have been 93% savings! The costs of clo

The actual nodes are still way more expensive on digital ocean than they are in Hetzner. That’s probably the main reason. 8GB RAM, shared cpu on hetzner is ~$10 Equivalent on digital ocean is $48

It’s almost like the opposite of the network effect moat that people used to think about social networks. At this point it feels like when these platforms hit a certain size, it’s time to move on to something smaller, without advertisers, l

What are some examples of applications people are running that: 1. Require 20TB of bandwidth / month 2. That bandwidth can't be shielded by Cloudflare and others? Is it like... real time video streaming? Gaming servers? I can&#x27

This assumes your Postgres has a an infinite amount of memory which would also be very expensive. I think you'd probably want to assume each connection takes ~10-20MB of memory.

Perhaps one can see it as the inverse of a tax on ICE vehicles without adding a tax? It will be revenue negative for the state but I think the net effect on consumers would be the same? I guess one could argue that a tax on ICE vehicles are

I’m not an expert, but from what I understand, the standard set up is like: 4x(Web processes) -> 1x(pgbouncer) -> database This ensures that the pgbouncer instance is effectively multiplexing all the connections across your whole flee

I'm not sure google cloud run can be considered a fair comparison to Kubernetes. It would be like saying AWS Lambda is a lot easier to use than EC2. I've used both Kubernetes and GCR at the current company I cofounded, and theres

Yeah I mostly agree. I'd even add that even K8 YAML's are not trivial to maintain, especially if you need to have them be produced by a templating engine.

I think one thing that is under appreciated with kubernetes is how massive the package library is. It becomes trivial to stand up basically every open source project with a single command via helm. It gets a lot of hate but for medium sized

by czhu12 2y ago
This is basically exactly what we needed at the start up I worked at, with the added need of being able to host open source projects (airbyte, metabase) with a reasonable level of confidence. We ended up migrating from Heroku to Kubernetes.

I’ve noticed the problem on Twitter has gotten a lot worse after Twitter added monetization. My guess is bots are used to simulate realistic fake users to eventually pump other Twitter posts for the revenue sharing? I’ve noticed not all bot

Does anyone have any suggestions for how to design a Twitter clone that can prevent this at any cost? it seems like a pervasive issue in every single social network.

Not sure how this works but if some party purchased chrome, isn't the best business for it to sell advertising back to google? And then sell the default search engine back to google?
