Being broadly against AI is a strange stance. Should we all turn off swipe to type on our phones? Are we supposed to boycott cancer testing? Are we to forbid people with disabilities reading voicemail transcriptions or using text to speech?

I wouldn't group it with Django. It's a very simple but also well-done CMS. It is not as capable as something like Wagtail, Payload, or Craft.

Congratulations, you just reinvented slavery. But if you take the government out of the equation, and instead mandate contribution via project licenses, that might be worth a try.

I think you make some solid points, but there are major tradeoffs some of the data is not totally convincing. If US workers are so much more highly paid than foreign workers, then we can reasonably expect the best workers to migrate to the

I was making $50/hour fresh out of college back in 2014. And I worked remotely. $45/hour today is not great given the cost of living.

$10 is the cash price. Your doctor diagnoses, not insurance, and you don't need a specialist to get diagnosed regardless of what your insurer wants. Even a nurse practitioner can prescribe you a statin.

90 day supply of Atorvastatin costs $10. Running costs a pair of shoes.

They are all like this to a degree because controversy creates engagement. If a platform is not making you money, is not making you smarter, and not helping you form IRL connections, then I highly recommend disabling it.

It's not the dev box with zero integrations/storage that's expensive. AWS was quoting us similar numbers for MSK. Part of the issue is that modern kafka has become synonymous with Confluent, and once you buy into those featur

Managed hosting is expensive to operate and self-managing kafka is a job in of itself. At my last employer they were spending six figures to run three low volume clusters before I did some work to get them off some enterprise features, whic

Is it arrogance or is it experience combined with a different perspective? One developer may love React because of the component ecosystem and talent pool, and another developer may dislike it because they're writing custom HTML/C

Definitely check out swarm. I've heard so many great things from engineers that use it on large projects, and it takes very little time to learn if you already know the docker cli.

by evantbyrne 1y ago
It is worth learning to use Docker Swarm. Deployments are as simple as pushing a new container to your registry and running one command. I built a free CLI tool rove.dev that simplifies provisioning and does service diffing. Either that or

Their advertised sensitivity and specificity put them in the ballpark of what other liquid biopsies advertise. The ones I know of target high-risk cohorts where the benefits of other screenings already outweigh the risks of taking them. It

Not convinced the Grail approach is safe and effective for low-risk cohorts given the false-positive rate. Follow-up diagnostics are not risk-free.

At first glance, I don't understand the design choice of appending HTML templates to the python controller files. Seems like a lot of complexity just to remove a template render call. What am I missing?

A lot of AWS requires way too much config. It is a mystery to me why AWS doesn't lean into extending the capabilities of App Runner. I actually built a whole continuous deployment PaaS for AWS ECS with a Heroku-like UX, ended up shutti

Yeah I haven't had any issues with Swarm. Heard good things from people running substantial clusters. Would be interested in hearing about what rough edges people have run into as well!

ECS is good, just expensive and still requires more devops than it should. Docker Swarm is an easy way to run production container services on VMs. I built a free golang tool called Rove that provisions fresh Ubuntu VMs in one command and d

Swarm never died. Kubernetes was designed for an entirely different level of scale and there is inherent complexity in that. Whereas starting a production-ready container service with Swarm only takes a few commands on a fresh Docker instal

They do with app runner, but last I checked, for some reason services were capped at low CPU/Memory and didn't allow basic ECS features like attached storage. I think they also had another one... AWS is very fragmented and strange

I built something very similar to this a few years ago, sold it for way less ($3/service), and ultimately decided not to spend money marketing it. Building the product made it super clear that AWS costs were grossly inflated, which the

There are infinite ways to do this and we could riff all day on it. The simplest as I see it would simply be giving individuals with young children the autonomy to dictate their work schedules, allowing them the option to make up the hours

Regulation, my man. Doesn't require fitting into the existing framework that was invented to as a stopgap for dangerous factory working conditions. The barrier is people's preconceived notions on what work day, weeks, and lives ha

Nobody said homesteading is the solution. Allowing a parent of young children to care for them is not a radical idea though. It should not be hard to imagine a society that is more flexible to childcare being performed by parents, because t
