This is permaculture done right, focusing on recreating native conditions using native species and rooting it firmly in the science.

We can't go NIH for everything. If we do that we're back to baremetal in our own datacenters and that's expensive and (comparatively) low velocity. We have to pick and choose our dependencies and take the trade off of risk fo

Knowing ECR has pull through caching is really helpful. I'm sure we would have come across that in the course of investigating our response, but this definitely saved us some time! Edit: Damn, looks like ECR's pull through cachin

Yes, that involves ripping out Docker Hub everywhere. It's a significant chunk of work, not something easily fit into 30 days on a team that is already strapped for resources with more work than we can do.

As an SRE Manager, this is causing me a hell of a headache this morning. In 30 days a bunch of images we depend on may just disappear. We mostly depend on images from relatively large organizations (`alpine`, `node`, `golang`, etc), so one

Lets get concrete. The last Republican president Trump, did so many things that invoked echos of the last major wave of fascism (Hitler and Mussolini) that one of the foremost experts on Nazism (Christopher Browning [1]) wrote a piece in th

The United States is arguably one of the least "socialist" of the developed countries and by far one of the worst for surveillance and authoritarianism. Indeed it's on the cusp of a full scale fascist take over. This isn&#x

The assumption that the companies doing layoffs "need" to do layoffs isn't necessarily well founded. Really we should be comparing companies in comparable financial situations - with one group doing layoffs and the other not

No, I argued that it's the sort of thing people assume is "common sense" when it is often very poorly supported. And my argument was that said assumption often comes from a bad place (when you examine it) and leads to a bad

Yeah, I mean, there's a good reason for that. To do the topic justice requires a lot of pretty delicate work. The only way to give a shorter answer with out tripping into dangerous territory is for it to look something like my last p

That's very circumstantial evidence that requires more examination. Is that a direct result of the diversity - or of the history that generated that diversity in the first place? In most countries that are ethnically diverse, that d

It's not a new idea to me. It's an idea I've encountered many times, often propping up arguments of various kinds against pluralistic societies - which is an argument implicit in the comment above. Those arguments lead dire

I appreciate your reasoned and detailed response. I disagree with you and I'll take it point by point. In some cases I think the disagreement is based more in a [reasonable] misunderstanding of the point I'm actually making, or w

No there are not. There's a massive information imbalance. Most companies do not make enough information public for workers to truly assess whether their growth is sustainable or not. Public companies have to file a certain amount o

Neat! I need to read up on QEMU. I haven't looked into cross arch images in a while.

The architecture of the docker image matters. If you build a docker image on an ARM machine (like a m1 or m2 Mac) you can't run it in x86 architecture (like a T3 or M5 AWS instance). If you build on x86 architecture, you can't r

Sure, there was conflict between societies. But again, this is an exaggerated view of just how much there was. I haven't seen many studies quantifying it. But given the sheer scale of damage conflicts today are capable of generating

I think the problem you're speaking to has more to do with attempts at "universal" design. Which actually runs counter to the principal that services should have a limited, clearly defined set of responsibilities.

You're optimizing for the wrong things and working with an artificially limited set of constraints. The rule of thumb is that we spend 10x the amount of time reading code that we do writing it. When you use cute names to avoid the pai
