Bazel isn't for everyone which is why I suggested using any similar tool, jib, Nix, etc. Just not Dockerfile (or if you are going to use Dockerfile only use ADD). Also just because you don't have experience with something doesn&#x

Yeah I really need to actually sit down and learn Nix, seems like it can solve this in a more general way for cases where the thing you want to run is packaged for Nix already.

Which is meant to be balanced out by increased housing density like we see in Asian mega cities like Tokyo and Bangkok which have very affordable housing despite many many more people. By making it impractical or outright banning high densi

Sad but if you are going to shut something down this is the correct way so kudos.

The trick to Docker (well OCI) images is never under any circumstance use `docker build` or anything based on it. Dockerfile is your enemy. Use tools like Bazel + rules_oci or Gradle + jib and never spend time thinking about image builds ta

Eh, Kafka isn't easy to fuck up. If anything it's stupidly hard to fuck up assuming you aren't completely incompetent and didn't read up on how it works or the main caveats. I say that because there really isn't muc

It's generally good for append-only workloads. Where C* databases seems to fall down are point updates and in this case, requirement to implement your own aggregations. For these workloads you are much better off (unless you are alread

Honestly if they were previously getting their writing from freelancing websites then yes, they didn't value writing that much.

Wankels can be made extremely compact so that might have something to do with it, i.e it has both very high power to weight and power to volume specs. I honestly don't know if that is the reason though, perhaps someone more knowledgeab

They hunt for true fraud and they make their living off of being right often enough that their reports move the market. If they weren't right often enough they would be ignored so they are incentivised to only publish when they think t

I didn't say it wouldn't make a ton of money, there is a huge number of MongoDB instances out there in the wild in Fortune 500 due to the MEAN stack days (just like RoR before it). I fully expect the company to keep blowing away e

Man this is really sad. :( Having interacted with Simon on both a community and commercial basis through 2ndQ he was always polite, professional and happy to spend time explaining things to mere mortals. RIP Simon. You will be missed.

I have done this migration twice and rethinkdb to PostgreSQL once. At this point I think document DBs are as good as dead for new projects. They will live for a really long time still but are in contraction and rent seeking mode now. Expect

Buffets point is that it can be gamed to look good. In this case even if they are gaming it to look better than it is.... well it's still awful.

Solar is stupidly cheap. I'm building a 40kw hybrid system with 50kwh of storage for less than 20k USD in Thailand. It's this cheap because there is 0% duty on my solar panels and inverters, I was able to source locally made alum

I do the same living in Thailand but the TZ is tough. Worth it for the lifestyle advantages though and in a few years I can just semi-retire and just take jobs that I like.

Heh ok, sorry for assuming Canada would be as bad as the US.

Eh, maybe not in Australia. Remember Australia doesn't have like 5 million banks, we have essentially 4 big ones and they already are pretty cutting edge vs US/Canadian banks. i.e instant transfers are normalized, NFC is the norm,

So what you are saying is all the options are bad?

A terrible thing in fact. We should instead hope for a trade treaty that abolishes the DCMA. It's policies like these that make it clear that the government only serves special interests and not the average voter.

I don't think so. Most government purchase subsidies are or were phased out in China in 2022. BYD received massive grants during it's scale-up period, mostly in the form of capital expenditures being fully subsidized or land grant

Poltics won't allow it unfortunately. If BYD was to sell vehicles in the US the backlash from established auto companies and the China hawks would drown out any reasonable conversation.
