Because it is not by default, you don't really use all the cores by default either.

BEAM has a preemptive scheduler and being able to use all available core is a part of the standard runtime and language primitives, and does not require a separate library. The standard library, OTP, builds on top of those language primitiv

As far as the lack of US Elixir developers, there is truth in that. It isn't that there are not Elixir developers, but that everyone who wants to work on Elixir is already working on Elixir. Years ago, I knew this engineering manager w

There are places where tropical jungle forms a thick canopy that shelters plants growing in lower part of the canopy. The layers of canopy helps keep the humidity, thus forming a microclimate. A good example is the moringa forest someone gr

Kubernetes is a very capable and versatile system to build a platform on top of it. Other articles have zeroed in on the missing piece: that unusual intersection of a product mindset with infrastructure expertise. Without that product minds

Those examples in the article are what I would consider APIs. It is just that it is written in a way that is _composable_, and the primitives are scoped in a way that composing them versatile. That there was a library that facilitates that

You have to do so many things just to use more than a single CPU core. There are other language platforms and runtimes where using up the entire available CPU cores is the default option, and taking advantage of multiple cores within the ap

At work, we have kubernetes and pm2 running on a pet server outside of kubernetes. I cannot wait to get rid of pm2 and the pet server. For smaller projects, I'd rather just work directly with systemd or better yet, use the podman-syst

by hosh 3y ago
I'm with you. I think PM2 is half-baked software. It tries to do too much and none of them well. It has two source-of-truths, the dump file and the ecosystem files. It doesn't have a way to stagger restarts. For small projects, th

I think Christopher Alexander has some good arguments that modern “functional” architecture is the least functional of all. So while the stated aim is to be functional without ornaments, instead, it lays bare how irrelevant the human experi

The article specifically talks about metrics part of Otel. Having read a bit of the script, I agree, it is very bloated. Statsd is a very mature and lean protocol, even with the Datadog extensions to add tagging. It is a defacto open standa

I’d argue that, the real value of Postgres isn’t that it has capabilities on par with Oracle, but rather that, it has a thriving plugin ecosystem. If someone needs that obscure Oracle feature, they may have the option of writing it. If ther

Postgres is an open-source platform with a thriving ecosystem. People have written a vector plugin to follow the AI boom, and will likely have whatever people have an interest for.

While that can be true, there would still be evidence supporting that, besides making things unlivable. My questions still stands -- what were the circumstances around the gun shot? How long has he owned that gun? How exactly did it happen?

Emotionally, it seems hard for me to believe that the Boeing leadership would be part of something criminal. And yet, the timing is weird. This dude hasn’t been employed by Boeing for some years. He was part of a Netflix documentary made ab

Going at it a bit sideways, there's also a sense of self that's constructed in which narratives forms around it ... and yet, there's a way of experiencing the world without that separate sense of self. Complex adaptive system
