It is also interesting to observe that your most valuable accounts in this kind of pricing model are the ones that are least used and therefore are not confronted by the limits. Heavy users canceling their accounts in frustration is a win f

This is the problem I suspect. I think it has a negative impact on tons of users but people just curse and move on.

Thanks for your "not sure" comment. Very helpful. Perhaps I'm mistaken but I thought the formatting would make it more legible and scannable. I can see why that might come across as AI generated, but it isn't. I did use

Olympic athletes don't exist because no one at my gym runs that fast. You are right that typing speed isn't the bottleneck, but wrong about what AI actually accelerates. The 10x engineers aren't typing faster they're exp

Agreed. Adding black boxes on top of black boxes is not a good way to abstract complexity. Helm does nothing more than any template engine does, yet requires me to trust not only the competency of some random chart author but also that they

I would think that by comparison to image models synthetic data would be relatively easy to generate for audio model training. I’m curious then why it continues to be so difficult to build a nearly flawless audio separation model. Is synthe

It seems to me (at the moment) that the 'engineering' of "prompt engineering" happens at the level of taking a word prediction model AI and turning it into a Q&A AI, and the art of decomposing requests into state and

In Go that quote is literally true. If you do nothing on a new computer but download Go you can immediately build a statically linked application that can fetch from an https endpoint. There are no implied additional steps. I don't bel

> I'm not just taking it in isolation for no reason. If you have static linking, you basically have HTTPS by consequence. Can you clarify what you mean by this because to me there is literally nothing about static linking that impli

I really hated this feature at first, but it's one of my absolute favorite things about Go now. In general Go communicates more information than other programming languages without nearly as much visual clutter. When reading code one r

I just addressed this question more directly on your other comment. I do not agree that it is incumbent upon a speaker to anticipate the listeners knowledge, so I do not think it is a reasonable expectation that every qualifier be included.

Then why not assume it is the static linking that is trivial? Isolated each item is trivial in some context, its the exclusive set that is non-trivial, or at least uncommon. The fact https is included in the standard library means that you

Sorry for the misattribution, my mistake. Nevertheless, the fact remains that https is a part of the standard library and one of the elements that the op finds unique about Go. It is unambiguously part of the conversation, and the ostensi

Well that's not on him man. You are the one calling him out for being unaware of static linking, when you don't even seem to understand the full set of pros he listed in his first sentience.

Wait, what prior programming language is compiled, can be statically linked, and has an https implementation in it's standard library?

Why would you need a Makefile? You have to run helm to apply helm charts, how is `kubectl apply -f .` any more complicated then that? The entire existence of helm is superfluous. The features it provides are already part of Kubernetes. It w

A problem, however, is that subscriptions are desirable revenue streams regardless of continuous operating costs. A product I can buy for a largely concrete exchange in value, whereas subscriptions will (at best) go to value in the future t

Think of Kubernetes like a single application. The config files are the source for that application, the running cluster is the compiled application running on the users computer. By default Helm injects more "compiled" code unre

Yes, fixed. Thank you

The problem is that few people seem to understand the infrastructure as code concept, and essentially break the core k8s declarative architecture with imperative workflows that look just like the bash script install insanity we left behind.

Thanks! That is the one I was thinking of. Notice how even at 10ms of latency rubberbanding is easily visible.

Sure there is. The need to introducing a unified delay across all game clients in the first place, reliable measurement and comparison of latency data, and the effects of latency, artificial or otherwise, on game state which is not strongly

Distributed consensus is hard. Very hard. Anyone dismissing the problem as “should never have hopped,” hasn’t a clue as to how hard and error prone reliable distributed consensus is. 35 ms lag in overall responsiveness is an eternity in com

I find generics are overused in most languages. Go will be getting generics to handle the very few situations in which they are a genuine value. But the most common uses cases for generics in other langues are already handled by Go interfac

I'm unclear on the benefit of NixOS vs container optimized os (aka coreos/flatcar). These systems have read only root partitions, no package manager, minimal services. The package manager is simply docker.

You have fooled them all. The fallacy of imposter syndrome is not that you are better than you think you are, but that others are worse. You have fooled them, but you discount the fact that they have fooled you too.

There is no need to use Kubernetes if it slows down your velocity, just use docker or direct drive some VMs. If you NEED Kubernetes then you simply won't get most of the benefits it provides by learning some short cut tools. Tools li
