The American hyper scalers are not necessarily the place to be. Modern can mean Non-hyper scalar as well. Can this sentiment just die please? Great that its working out for you and you replaced good sysadmins with aws admins, but it should

The curse as a power user is that you want to know how it works. I let that feeling go with emacs. I've been happily using it since. My first gateway and killer use case was magit. Life with git will never be the same.

Indeed, only eventual consistency. The article approaches this subject and mentions the use of the outbox pattern and/or using tools like Debezium.

It is truly wonderful. I do think they are missing a clear winner use-case so currently at our company colleagues don't see a clear benefit yet. Though if you take all use-cases where we use yaml or json now, and you'd get a prett

There was a time when this was the obvious thing to do when making systems. Sadly that's forgotten. Manpages to read on cli tooling is the same thing of course. Yet people rather go to another window, the browser, and go to a ad-driven

Acceleration is actually a thing. The CPU needs to ramp up cycles fast if it wants to feel snappy. It needs to wind down as soon as no significant workload is there anymore. All needed for good efficiency

Dear lord my region was blessed with cable internet in 1995. Wasn't fast but it was really affordable and the latency was better than dial up. Though once it got crowded during peak hours it crumbled to a halt.

This is the insight. You'll a worse job even for something as certificate management with letsencrypt. Let alone all the other stuff. If your workload doesn't need that, and you are fine with some downtime, then and only then don&

I was totally bummed out that despite buying a industry leader's product, a yubikey; I can't use it as a passkey through NFC on android[1]. It's simply not supported, wth. How can this work as a 2FA through NFC, but not as a

i understand why OP did it. But wouldn't it be nice if we took it all the way and just let the OS figure this out? [1] This is a radical departure from the abstraction-on-abstraction that is implicated by BIOS/UEFI but it feels li

Letting consultants do this one-off is the worst you could do. If you can't do it yourself do it fully managed with your cloud provider, or hire a party which maintains k8s on a subscription basis

Aren't we exaggerating the whole Kubernetes is difficult thing a bit? Unix is also more complex than DOS, still glad we didn't get stuck with the latter bc it was "good enough"

just because it is ubiquitous doesn't make it good. I spent my fair share in cloud-init land and it absolutely sucks. The complete state flow is a mess with exceptions all over the place.
