It’s funny because (anecdotally based on visiting Milan once) I’ve come to use Milan as an example of a city made almost entirely of rock and stone, with virtually zero green anywhere to be seen. Granted, I was there for one week, but it wa

I keep seeing this (anecdotally) out if the Midwest. Folks with 4 years experience doing mostly front end work who’ve never deployed anything with the title “staff engineer”. I sort of feel bad for them because without a large step down in

Just enough butter so you can melt the herbs de province and garlic into the butter and brush it evenly over the entire fish. Then a bit of salt and lemon and sprig of rosemary, bake in foil at 375. As you said, with salmon less is more. Th

Yes I’m sure in France they eat their fresh caught Alaskan Salmon plain with zero accouterments. (?!!) French cooks would add fresh European style butter and fresh local garlic - both of which I can get at the farmers market. In France they

It does run Ceph on Kubernetes. How else would you describe deploying OSDs to linux servers via Kubernetes other than "Ceph on Kubernetes"? > That's impossible because Ceph relies on functionality that exists in drivers (k

I’d rather install open source JavaScript code via curl and sudo than install closed source binaries via an iOS app. This is for something with a permanent place on your home network. Rachel is usually spot on, but dogma won the day today.

Ironic about the other reply to your post - generally studies here are totally dismissed or not required - it’s supposed to be “common sense” when it comes to “the children”. It’s so strange how whenever things are most important we tend to

Complex systems are complex. If you don’t need it, don’t use it. But you’re absolutely wrong to call it unreliable. I’ve also “been around the block”, and I’ve seen 50k lines of BASH fail in complex ways too. A google search would show you

Because it’s reactionary and a bit silly, while providing no real value. Yes, orchestration requires the orchestration tool. No, k8s api is not unreliable or “finicky”. This is being downvoted because it’s the equivalent of saying “delivery

To quote you: “nothing could be further from the truth” Ceph itself runs very well on K8s - see the Rook project. Of course you can run psql on k8s. Psql doesn’t need a storage orchestration system - hell it technically doesn’t need any s

The alternative is to write good queries! Alternatively, a better query planner that has a more liberal approach to "I know what you want, not what you're asking for". A great article on this re: Planetscale's approach i

I hope fly is able to make it. I’m rooting for them - however - I’m starting to wonder if the SQLite push isn’t more “this is fun and interesting to build” and less “customers want this”. Don’t get me wrong - this is neat - but I’d never su
