There are tools that can do that, and are not as complex as Kubernetes I once interviewed at a place where their notion of "scaling" is to turn up the knob on Heroku. They also pay for it. They did not have anyone on their team wh

That's the idea. However, my initial criticism of the way permacomputing is formulated are: 1. We could have examined each of the 12 Permaculture Design Principle and attempted to directly apply them to software design. For example, &q

This is a good start. It misses an important thing about Kubernetes that is often missed: extensibility. Each and every thing within Kubernetes can be swapped out for something else, including the scheduler. There are Custom Resource Defini

Oops, I meant "permacomputing". Among my friends in a private discord group, we were generalizing that to all of tech and I forgot it originated from "permacomputing". There is a related project from permacomputing that

Have you looked into the permatech community in general?

Versatility. That gives me options as the technology and business landscape changes.

Looking back at my own career, I do not jump ship every 18 months, and I have been able to accumulate deep knowledge that are broadly applicable, that has enabled a lot of options when it is time to go to a new company. So in addition to ha

I think it is more of becoming fluent with primitives that can be composed in versatile ways. I can see how that can be poorly understood as memorization. The main implication is that if what you are “memorizing” is not easily composable, t

Learning to read Chinese is done by learning to write Chinese. The strict (but structured) stroke order while writing becomes part of muscle memory, and in turn, becomes a kind of kinesthetic mnemonic device while reading.

I have written Ruby, Elixir, and Typescript on Nodejs. I have yet to see a good reason for async/await, other than syntax sugar on a flawed language architecture. The very thing people like about Nodejs (async reactor), creates a lot o

So is Erlang/Elixir colorless or do those function calls have color?

Worse, it’s a kind of marketing piece to promote the business that wrote that blog post.

I joined my current company a year ago. They use Nodejs in production web servers and data pipelines since their founding. I wish they had not chosen this.

I know that word, and it is one way of describing what I was talking about, but it is not what I meant. My actual worldview is a superset of "all living beings are conscious". For example, I don't necessarily think that consc

I hope so too! We drove through Merced and saw the new line in and around town. I guess I wasn't paying attention in Fresno.

I was passing through Fresno last week, on the way back from a family trip. I'll have to check it out. The California High Speed Rail is being constructed, so hopefully, by the next trip, I can just pop into Fresno via HSR.

The earthship design includes a lot of ideas from permaculture design. Dirksen has also toured Brad Landcaster's site, in which the permaculture design is very obvious, and it is not an earthship. Those design principles and method ap

I wonder if these would improve VR/AR headset displays.

I guess my view of consciousness is different -- all living beings having consciousness, but perhaps not specifically in the form of the human mind or intellect. These are ancient ideas. Maybe this century will validate some of those.

The cluster autoscaler in Kubernetes uses a constraint solver. It's translating configuration against dynamic, and changing state within the cluster. Using something like an embedded Prolog or miniKenran as the core of a Kubernetes ope

Thanks for articulating that. I was groping around for something along those lines — going beyond easy self-hosted to local-first deployment. Considering the web3 origins, I wonder if the project founders had that in mind as well. There was

They are using technologies such that the system can self-heal, and self-deploy (with auto discovery) ... so there's a misalignment of incentives for the product and a hosting business. I like the ideas they are trying, so I wish the b

Sometimes, it's hard to tell how significant something is, and the creators may not even know until hindsight, let alone articulate it in a concise, accessible way. The initial marketing word usage such as "amazing" put me of

Further down on the README, it explains how it uses libp2p for network autodiscovery, IPFS for distributed storage, and how it can distribute and share routes and assets and automating load-balancing. It is Webassembly-native, so you don&#x

There are some neat ideas here -- building a PAAS off of p2p technologies to enable network autodiscovery, automated load-balancing, distributed storage, Webassembly-native, etc. Having put stuff through production though, I'm a bit sk

Wow! That's neat! There are a lot to explore beyond interactive objects. One of the first thing that comes to mind was is about Smalltalk, and the idea that it is about the messages and not the objects. The next thing to come in mind i

Sometimes I see threads here on HN related to the occult or the very weird spaces psychonauts explore and I forget the audience I am talking to. I generally have to compartmentalize; this is the kind of stuff I talk to in other communities,

I think that depends upon the dream space you find yourself in. If it is an internal dream space for yourself, you tend to have more control (if you do have control). However, I've been in many shared spaces that have varying rules on
