I believe it will be a successful business by normal measures, but not live up to the hype and vision of its founders and investors. I think there will be market for a tool, especially with enterprises where people are forced to use a parti

I lost a decent amount of respect for pg due to how he keeps portraying Mighty like it's gonna change how we use the Internet and computers in general. Like, really? I don't mind Mighty as a product, I don't mind their team,

Yup, this was a lesson I learned the hard way when I built out billing for our SaaS product. I had spent weeks thinking about user accounts, team accounts, subscription, integration with Stripe, how the UI would look, how I would verify VAT

As another sibling said: Because Google uses it. But also because many devs get very anxious when you tell them to use something that doesn't have the majority "mindshare" (yes, I have had people tell me that concern multiple

I've said it in basically every thread on Nomad on HN, and I'll say it again: Nomad is an awesome piece of focused technology and an absolute pleasure to work with. There is one very clear way to do things, everything feels very p

I agree with you that if you're looking at single-node deployments, Nomad or any distributed orchestrator will feel like overkill. I personally use Nomad quite a lot, but for single-box systems I'll happily revert to using plain D

The "why" is in the second sentence: "Nomad is a simple and flexible orchestrator used to deploy and manage containers and non-containerized applications across on-premises and cloud environments." If you need a workload

There are plenty of shops running Nomad, Cloudflare is probably one of the most prominent ones. Also, due to its simplicity and easy of deployment compare to k8s, my guess is that there is a large amount of small shops running Nomad because

Most banks in Germany do this too, and have been doing it for a while, both for private as well as business accounts. The limits are sometimes well below the €100k insured deposit that you typically don’t want to exceed.

Anecdotal, but since recently getting a plug-in hybrid I've only been using regenerative braking except for the most abrupt stops. Whenever you approach a red light or junction it's not hard to stay within the regen braking zone.

I'm a self-taught JavaScript developer (front- and back-end) and I would love to read such a blog post. I mostly use language features for their expressiveness (map, filter, forEach) and rarely think about their performance implication

Genuine question, but would the places that are that inflexible wrt to hardware upgrades have the flexibility to allow you to use a cloud service to perform your most sensitive work?

So you have a highly valuable worker where you can afford to pay 1% of their salary for increased efficiency but somehow you can't afford the $1000 to upgrade their machine? Hmmm...

Yeah, that is a fun one. My M1 Macbook Air doesn't even have a fan that would need stopping, plus it lasts longer on a charge than I'm physically capable of working. And if I was really worried about either the first thing I might

I have been following Mighty for a while and while I'm certainly curious to try it and have no doubt that the team behind is top-notch from an Engineering perspective, I generally dislike the direction of this product. Why? I'm su

It doesn't need to be but it is. What are you gonna do, bloat the case just to fit an Ethernet adapter? Also, what's wrong with it being in the charger? This is actually genius, this way only a single cable leads to the machine it

I'd still try to store each event with all associated measurements as one item, using either a dedicated time series db like InfluxDB or Timescale or even using something like Elasticsearch. If one event is one HTTP request, and your s

What do you think is "too much functionality in one binary"? With Nomad I feel like the opposite is true: Nomad is just a workload scheduler. If I need service discovery I can add Consul, if I need secrets management I can add vau

At the very least allow users to roughly define what happens when the threshold is reached: S3 will still store data but maybe not serve anything, Lambdas will still be defined but not run, EC2 instances will keep running, etc. It's no

Let me tell you the single reason I haven't switched to Elixir yet: I develop backend and frontend (SPA) so I'd rather just stick with a single language and library catalog. It helps that there's plenty of libraries in JS lan

I disagree. I am often in calls with half a dozen folks from a customer, none of whom I've met before, all with English names that I have more trouble telling apart than my native German names, and due to their audio setup and the diff

It's important to realise that you can't compare your rent with your mortgage payments without factoring in a lot of things. The rent you pay includes things like taxes, insurances, upkeep, depreciation, risk and opportunity costs

I don't know, I'm German and deal with US folks a lot, for me it's like this: Date written with slashes or dashes (3/11/2021 or 3-11-2021) implies US-based month/day/year. Date written with dashes and the
