I don't have Azure experience but AWS Lambda is overcomplicated for REST APIs IMO. One reason is each function now has a deployment instead of just one deployment for the application. Frameworks can simplify it, but they don't eli

I’ve heard people compare Picasso’s art to that of a grade schooler so many times and I think it’s a lazy opinion, sorry. Picasso was a virtuoso, to put it mildly. When I saw Woman in White[1], it practically jumped off the wall at me. Neve

Unless they’ve changed things, there is no containerization within the VM a la kata. They run their own custom init inside the VM and use it to start the entry point. https://github.com/superfly/init-snapshot is the so

I'd like to do any one-off job, not only scheduled ones; retrieving data and transforming or storing it, scraping a web page, running a database migration. My biggest annoyance with Fly is the assumption that everything is a long runni

Ctrl+l clears the screen. Ctrl+[ is the same as escape, which I like more than reaching for the esc key.

Being able to turn it off would make me more likely to use it. But I don't really understand why this feature is desirable for anyone.

It's obnoxious to show who is typing. Like, give me a minute to compose my thoughts and type a response without feeling in a rush because everyone can see I am typing.

I let Prime lapse maybe a year ago. I realized I'd been paying for HBO on Prime for years even though I had never used it. It was my own fault, I should have realized that the charge for "Prime video" on my credit card statem

I hope there will be a blog post about flyd! I love reading about what fly.io is doing.

My "workaround", if you can call it one, is to design things so they don't need the CI/CD server to get a build/test/deploy feedback loop. I should be able to do any stage of the pipeline without the server, an

At a company where I once worked, there was a development team that started working on an orchestration system for a cloud platform called OpSource[1]. It was sort of a CloudFormation-like system but driven by XML (they were Java developers

I doubt if someone wanting to run an app is the target audience. A lot of companies would love to have something like Heroku that could be hosted internally. A platform team hosts it and development teams consume it. As it stands, they are

Are you sure about that? I currently have it installed in ~/brew and commands link from ~/brew/Cellar into ~/brew/bin and there is a .git directory in ~/brew. I used to put it in /usr/local and it irk

I've never had an issue with it. I just add ~/brew/bin to my PATH and everything works fine.

There's nothing wrong with installing packages into /usr/local, but brew turns /usr/local into a git repository and IMO that is wrong. Also, brew acts like it's made for a single user, as it changes files and d

I'll never forget that scene with Marlo, with the lollipop in his mouth. It strangely makes him seem extra ruthless. My wife finds it odd that I remember such trivia, but that is one of the most prominent details of the whole series fo

I think the issue is that web based terminals aren't very usable, as they mess with keybindings and line wrapping, for example. At least that is the case with GCP Cloud Shell. It makes it pretty difficult to use for even basic things l

It gives you sudo access so you can install anything. Although you don't need root to "install" Terraform, you can just download the binary and run it from ${HOME} or wherever.

In the late 90s, my brother gave me his old 486 machine. Around the same time, the Seattle Weekly published an April fools article[1] which mentioned a free operating system called Linux. I thought it was part of the joke, but on further re
