I'm also interested. When learning to program I just found projects and learned how to write software for them. It didn't matter if it already existed, I just wrote my own implementation and became very good. Does something like t

My theory: 1. Git was used for Linux. People developing Linux also developed packages for apt. They used it to host the source since they already used it for Linux. 2. GitHub showed the file tree @ master as the main thing when viewing a re

This is not a ridiculous question and does not deserve a mean answer. Voyager 1 has been flying for over 43 years [0]. In that time it went over 150 AU. This averages about 3.5 AU/year. It took, from start of project to launch, about 5

Something I'd be very interested in: building a PXE image from something declarative like Dockerfiles.

It's unfortunate we live in this world. Harvard takes in ~2k/year. Each student stays for ~4 years. This means ~10k are on campus at any time. Harvard costs ~50k/year. This means it costs ~500,000,000/year for all of Har

Think of a situation where you have, for example, a database like Redis. If you need to run two systems that need to access that data there will need to be some process that maintains that data and allows other people to access it. You woul

Some reasons may be: 1. Multiple languages/tech stacks. Have something like protobufs and now any language can "import" your library instead of it just being things that can handle cffi. 2. State management. For example, redi

How do your applications persist data? If you're running a compute resource today there's very likely a TCP connection between your application and your data somewhere. Also, in things like kube, it's possible to schedule job

How does this work? Is it based off of some git vfs? I'd be interesting in using that outside of the editor as well! That's more interesting technology.

You can do some amazing things based on convention. In kube it's pretty common to use Services for service discovery. Essentially all a Service is is a smart DNS name that points to a collection of pods (netns). If you want to mirror t

It's BeyondCorp done at a network layer. You have cryptographic trust that traffic from specific IP ranges are specific people, you get a flat network topology for your infra/team/etc, and it works in the most hostile network

If you're at the scale where your postgres db can be used as a queue and no one on your team has experience running a these systems (most startups) then pretty much anything will work to begin with and as long as you have a clear inter

My main concern would be monitoring. Most queue systems connect to alerting systems and can page you if you suddenly stop processing thongs or retrying the same query many many times. For a DB, since the scope of access is much larger, you

by gravypod 5y ago
I use Queues for retries, buffering, and parallelization. It's pretty easy to write most programs to support at least once and to run multiple queue workers that you auto scale.
