I take a lot of notes in Vim (neovim) and am planning to build a connector from Neovim to Anki. Haven't looked into it deeply but I'm guessing an easy way is to run the Anki connect and execute curl from inside Neovim, passing st

a lot of these "just use bare VMs" arguments don't address how you do service discovery, load balancing, networking, rolling deployments, etc. A lot of the benefit my team gets from K8s is from these abstractions, not anythi

lots of misinformation here about the current state of play with respect to GTO. If you're interested in understanding the principles of GTO and how amateurs currently leverage it check out the Finding Equilibrium youtube channel. Sp

We connect directly to the Federal Reserve. No middleware (i.e Fiserv/FIS), no other banks.

by fierro 4y ago
this is an important point. There are other providers who offer programatic creation of bank accounts, payments, etc. But all existing solutions wrap a bank, who then wrap middleware providers and core systems. When you work with Column,

its for developers looking to build financial products that need bank accounts, payments, card issuing, lending, etc. Imagine you wanted to build Venmo; this would be pretty easy with Column APIs. Create bank accounts, deposit/withdr

by fierro 4y ago
Yes, you can use Column to create and offer bank accounts as well as build debit/credit/charge programs. There's a part of the website that describes some common use cases https://column.com/docs/guides&

does Postgres support online DDL like MySQL? Seeing the docs for this mention "pg-osc supports when a column is being added, dropped or renamed with no data loss" but MySQL supports this out-of-the box via the `ALGORITHM=INPLACE,

the most bizarre thing about GH actions is the I/O mechanic where you produce outputs by executing `echo ::set-output name=<name>::<value>.`

Reading about this home-assistant thing -- why do you need an OS dedicated to the "home automation" use case? Isn't home automation simply an application level use case? Hard for me to see why we'd want a new OS/k

I'd agree -- philosophically I'm not sure it's possible to truly brick hardware unless you've physically disturbed the hardware's integrity, via physical trauma.
