My best understanding of the administration's psyche is that they're determined to have more manufacturing happen in the US - regardless of the economic impact. It still doesn't make sense though - there's a reason sneak

It is interesting that tech (Nasdaq) is the hardest hit here. The real engine of US exports for recent decades and likely to be a casualty as other countries plan their trade-war retaliation. And that's not even taking into considerati

Everything has to go in Kubernetes these days… usually at the request of users who lack the relatively trivial skill to convert a Compose definition into a set of Kubernetes resources.

Don't Netlify/Vercel run on top of the likes of AWS/GCP? That means they need to markup on those already inflated hyperscaler markups for data transfer.

Got it, in my opinion the structure is likely to mislead people because it doesn’t make clear that it refers to ‘one-to-one’ relationships at the outset (in fact not even, it deals with the cases of one-to-one and one-to-none) - it only ref

This CEO sounds atrocious. One thing I’ve experienced recently is that boards tend to have warped incentives to keep backing their CEOs even if objectively they’re not good CEOs.

This looks pretty nice. Not sure how large the market will be (whether it will be enough to sustain your needs, etc.). With the right integrations this could be a nice alternative to Medium/Substack. I'm a really occasional blogge

It should be yes, although I think what the parent was getting at was layers of OIDC where one provider redirects to another and then you get 2 redirects back. I’ve seen it a few time and can only conclude it’s the work of amateurs.

I’d agree that layers of OIDC should be an anti-pattern but aside from that my experience with OIDC (developing and running it in production) has been nothing short of amazing. Before OIDC it we had (mostly) SAML but it is a beast by compar

ARM also sell designs so vendors can build systems at a lower cost. But you can also license the technology and make your own design (which is what Apple did)

That’s a small but dangerous jump. Deposits will be protected as much as possible but that doesn’t mean in a worst case event there can’t be a bail-in. Happened to Cypriot banks. Just because it’s a GSIB doesn’t guarantee that the US tax pa

I worked in way too many places that wouldn’t let me use AGPL and it was then harder to procure vs something totally closed source. Don’t ask me how or why but then I went to work at a vendor and encountered similar experiences

They shouldn’t have gone all OSS if monetisation was their goal. It’s their own fault for thinking they could build a base off open source and then monetise it later.

“HashiCorp’s technology was critical to the modern cloud” I would challenge that. Their tech gained a stronghold because it had a liberal OSS license and thus a community formed around it. Their technology itself isn’t critical, it was just

Yep - ME! Happened to ME! Now some will blame bad development, should have caught it in the application code via testing, etc. A 'true' DBMS will provide some guarantees and rather fail a transaction than do a 'best endeavour
