I think it's because metaprogramming/macros is a thing Go doesn't have that very many other languages have. Whether the Java/.NET way, the LISP way or the Python way -- most languages have ways of making DSLs and metapro

Hmm, not sure how I am conflating things, I meant to just wrote about ARM templates full stop? The API I refer to is the Azure Management API (we ended up using that directly from Python instead of using ARM ourselves)... I said that refere

ARM is a complete joke, and Bicep compiles down to ARM. (More details: ARM is simply a dumb script that says "do this, do that", it doesn't interact with your cloud resources in any smart way. As one example: You can download

I would think my three bullet points should imply that I already know that energy is not a fungible resource. But there are still better uses than Bitcoin. There is not a problem with shipping hydrogen from ghost cities in China. Neither is

According to another poster, there were in fact here other proposals and crypto was a small part of it. And that small part was, quoting the text: > One of the specific initiatives under the EU Internet Forum in 2020 is the creation of a

Why do you say that? Do you really think that noone can have a genuine interest in combating child pornography or terrorism? My intuition is exactly the opposite: That many have a legitimate wish to combat both child porn and terrorism. Ma

You speak as if ownership is a force of nature. It is not. Ownership, wealth, money is an outcome of processes of the government -- like the existence of police and military, and that the majority of the population (in a democracy) agrees t

I am the opposite, haven't used a GUI file manager in...15 years? I am most certainly not "already in it". (Ok, with the exception of wanting to look at a bunch of images in thumbnail mode. Then I launch a GUI file manager.)

I think you just fixed your own uncharitable interpretation. Read it as "this goes against a trope I have seen many times on HN that".. that is a reasonable interpretation and not saying what you say it is.

Your analogy is very close to mine. Following your analogy then -- this is a HN thread where car mechanics discuss a book about transmission fluids and engine rebuilding. Did anyone make the point that most programmers often need to care a

The point is that these easy cases may just referred to as "work to do". Using more than one CPU core at the time to process through a backlog of work is just...the normal case. Doing work simultanously is not what people refer to

Scale still has something to do with it. If you are small scale, spending an engineer month to think about and make informed decisions and implement it may be more expensive than just accepting whatever downtime happens along the road. I th

3 minutes to generate 64 by 64 pixels blue noise? I think one should be able to instead draw white noise in frequency domain, multiply with a noise amplitude profile and then a 2D FFT...should only take some milliseconds..

No. Climate does not always change at the extreme rate it is changing now. A change in 4 degrees celsius in a century is very different from a change in 4 degrees celsius over 10 000 years. The term "climate change" almost always

Including a real DB in continuous integration is a must for any development IMO. (And these days usually very easy to throw up a database using Docker -- each of our full CI runs runs in 2 minutes and does hundreds of "create database&

IMO, databases is often an integral part of the program and should be part of the test (a real database in a docker image). For instance, if you are not relying on unique constraint in the DB to implement idempotency you are probably doing

What are good production ready alternatives for SQL? (That are still relational and doesn't make you rewrite half of the database logic again in each new backend you make -- not talking about key/value stores)

by dagss 6y ago
And everything I have worked on would have been in far, far better shape if they had just reached for RDBMS instead of following the NoSQL hype and reimplementing what the RDBMS gives you in each backend service. YMMV I guess.

I have been responsible for an exception to this rule. We were new people coming in to take over, decided to go for rewrite, and were successful. But part of the reason for the rewrite was that the logic (translation of business domain know

Relying on that extra information you talk about sound like a liability more than anything else to me. Why is there a need for anything else than a) the desired state (in the code) and b) the current state in the cloud? The need for any ext

It's an excellent time -- climate change is a much greater danger to us all than covid19 has been or will be. The economical consequences of climate change will also be much bigger than covid19 on the longer haul. And many of the resul

I'm new to this so stupid question ahead. The thing I don't like about Pulumi (or Terraform) is saving a copy of the state (locally or on a server). This seems finicky. Isn't the current state right there in the cloud, availa
