I ended up skimming a lot of it, though I closely read the beginning and the end. This is not a vision of humanity I agree with. Technology is not the only path towards expansion of consciousness, even though in this day and age, it appears

I am very interested in the combination of Smalltalk and local-first (offline-first) designs, and the ability to share code and data on ad-hoc networks. I know the One Laptop Per Child project started with Squeak (Scratch) with this in mind

Biomimicry, not invention. He reasoned that the DNA is a vast library for transforming molecules from one to another, and therefore, ecosystems are capable of breaking down pollutants. In practice, there are multiple vats. The first stage h

Dr John Todd has figured out and demonstrated a method to remediate DDT-contaminated water without the use of electrolysis, or other energy inputs. He was able to decontaminate one of the top superfund sites. The method is broadly versatile

I'm not sure I understand the issue. Wouldn't the pattern be to use a reverse proxy for ingress and everything goes through there into the backends? Keep the pod ips range that is not directly reachable from outside the cluster?

The older versions of Istio uses an init container to redirect inbound and outbound traffic from the main container to the Envoy sidecar. You still have to have some kind of admissions hook to inject things if you want it automatic, but the

It’s also true that the kind of people who are ready for staff level work are already doing staff level work. While social capital is a factor, it isn’t necessarily accumulated because of title or experience. The idea of “disambiguation” is

It got me thinking: - how well does such an ecosystem resist enshittification? Given some of the other comments, Nostr itself would not. However, is that true for every relay networks? - does the Willow protocol have the same basic constrai

Number (3) has better explanatory powers than (1). However, for the purpose of assessing social and family impact, it is rendered to (1). Both schools and state (US) programs use (1) to assess if a child qualifies for support. This is not

Humans do the same thing. I have a friend who is a systems engineer, working at a construction company building datacenters. She tells me that someone has to absorb the risk and uncertainty in the global supply chain, and if there are contr

I prefer heads down time. At my remote workplace, I found several channels where people ask for help. Combined with office hours, it is the main way I keep in touch with what is going on. We also write up a weekly priorities (by team), and

The ideas in Erlang keeps getting (poorly) reinvented. So it remains a “secret” weapon and I am fine with that. Not everything have to be validated by popularity in order to be unreasonably effective.

Kubernetes is a good example of a microservice architecture. It was designed in a way where each microservice work with other microservices in a way where the dependencies are not so coupled together. For example, the API server only reads

Yeah, the isolation provides a fault tolerance not seen in wide use until Kubernetes. Although it would be neat to implement some of the benefits of a service mesh for BEAM — for example, consistently applying network retry/circuit bre

What BEAM offers isn’t modularity, but concurrency. Every genserver is operating concurrently, all within the runtime. Up until actor models came to Java, and more recent Java with lightweight threads, Java was incapable of this. Java is st

It is not so black and white. The BEAM ecosystem (Erlang, Elixir, Gleam, etc) can do distributed microservices within a monolith. A single monolith can be deployed in different ways to handle different scalability requirements. For example,

This article does not do a very good job of talking about why pigeons were domesticated, and instead, rely upon argumentation by pathos. It only mentions racing in passing, but breeding pigeons for racing weakens the whole argument. In the

I appreciate this long comment. I am in the middle of convincing the company I just joined to consider building on GCP instead of AWS (at the very least, not to default to AWS).
