Yep the Danes are an entrepreneurial bunch, strict cash for marriage document type deal (but all done very professionally, not some vegas chapel pony show).

We ended up going the Denmark route due to the German process requiring, what was for us, unobtainable documents. We've had a number of friends do the same due to similar issues, plus the German process can be very cost prohibitive onc

I can confirm that moving out into the bacon belt of Brandenburg drastically improved the quality of my public services interactions (as an immigrant). Getting an anmeldung done didn't require a 3 hour ordeal and the local Ausländerbeh

Yep noisysockets is based originally off wireguard-go but is an attempt to simplify and make things a lot more idiomatic for library use. Filling in the gaps etc and improving the ergonomics. Hoping to build a bit of an ecosystem of support

Really cool! I guess that there's little differences other than noisysockets is explicitly WireGuard compatible (but I actually prefer Nebulas tweaks to the wire protocol). I actually had some folks from OpenZiti reach out and they hav

Hmm interesting usecase, I know a lot of datascience folks are fans of SSHFS but it sounds like you have kind of got an inversion of control thing going on. Is there a reason you aren't mounting the remote filesystem on your local mach

There's some similarities and differences, instead of going through a TUN/TAP device each application communicates directly to the mesh with it's own userspace TCP/IP stack (and also retains compatibility with wireguard)

Might as well take the opportunity to shill one of my recent experimental projects, If you are interested in building Go apps that act as userspace WireGuard peers take a look at https://github.com/dpeckett/noisysockets

I've had reasonable luck with full spectrum LED grow lights (quantum board). Though you absolutely 100% need a diffuser. Discovered their efficacy by accident after one winter I shared an office with my house plants. Though looking at

Super cool! The examples are really slick. What sort of research do you see the A2O supporting? As an Australian living abroad I've been long fascinated by the potential for AI across the continent, you have vast areas of land where th

Yeh I live in Germany but was born in inland Australia, most people have no idea how crushing heat can become (part of why I'm living somewhere more temperate). I suspect geoengineering will be on the table a lot sooner than most expec

Ironically enough I'm more optimistic we can mitigate the worst impacts of climate change (as it's more of an engineering and technology issue). Sure the transition will be expensive but we're making solid progress [1] and we

I'm increasingly getting worried about the stability of the current situation. We have a tremendous collapse of the construction industry (housing starts at a 50 year low, at least here in germany) and many commentators are predicting

In the linked TRI video they hint they are working on building generic dexterity models. If that proves possible, maybe oneshot/fewshot learning of dexterous behaviors isn't farfetched.

Stallman was right. I think it's inevitable we'll see the next generation of developer focused tooling go in the direction of AGPL or source available (eg. BSL). Ironically enough Earthly started off as BSL.
84.
by dpeckett 3y ago
True (for web apps and multiuser applications). Earthly is a single binary CLI on top of Docker buildkit so it's a bit trickier for them.
85.
by dpeckett 3y ago
I feel like it's just a patience game of staying alive long enough that organic traction takes off. Earthly is bloody fantastic, the flexibility and expressiveness IMO is hard to beat.
86.
by dpeckett 3y ago
I'm not sure feature withholding has traditionally worked out well in the developer space. The churn rate for tooling is so high that if Earthly were to intentionally cripple their product I'm sure the majority of developers would

by dpeckett 3y ago
In a lot of ways that's pretty much what Earthly is, except those bash scripts run inside containers (that you can configure inside Earthly itself) and you pass files/artifacts between steps/containers.

by dpeckett 3y ago
Part of the issue is that the Earthly is pretty much a CI system in itself. Given that the value proposition of a hosted CI product based on it is pretty minimal. It really is a radical mindset shift and I can see why converting legacy orga

Yeh I thought Terraform might not have been a direct target of the BSL license change (vault/consul etc are bigger fish) but this makes it clear this is not the case.

Big surprise, the old adage "it's all about the people" rings true. I'd guess this is also an area where the Dunning–Kruger effect and misaligned developer incentives are involved. Inexperienced teams are more likely to
