Tests are good, I would even go as far to say I love tests. However tests are often used or at least attempted to be used as a crutch for poor language/tooling/architecture decisions. The path to code that breaks less is in good d

There is still a bit of work to be done to make it really nice and rules_kotlin tends to lag a bit behind if Kotlin is your poison. One area that needs work that I haven't had time to invest more in yet is a proper split layer OCI imag

China is a more market orientated economy than most people would expect. There are large SOEs (state owned enterprises) sure but ultimately the whole point of "communism with Chinese characteristics" is to leverage market forces f

Along with MIPS. The significance of which is that it led to a lot of network gear using one of these 3 architectures. Now most network data planes are in ASIC and increasingly these BE ISAs are being supplanted by ARM but for a long time i

What I really want is a modern laptop with the old style Thinkpad aesthetics and pragmatisms. i.e ports, replaceable components, magnesium alloy chassis with plastic and rubber armor (i.e tanky AF), good keyboard with real travel, hot swap

This stuff has been making the rounds in my social circle who mostly do infra things. DHH is a salesman/marketer above all else so you need to take anything he says with a grain of salt. That said he is right on several crucial advanta

For anyone that has worked at "large global companies" they will know that Infosys and TechM are some of the worst things about working at said companies. The best Indian engineers aren't working at these body shops, instead

This isn't due to fundamental cost increasing per transistor though, this is because NVidia changed their pricing strategy to decouple it from that. They are simply making greater % profit/transitor.

I will agree that it's not optimal but there is still a big difference between text templating and Jsonnet. Something Jsonnet-esque but with more typing help, better debugging (especially error messages instead of `blah thunk, thunk th

Since using Bazel a bit I have grown an appreciation for Starlark also. The big thing is that list and dict comprehensions are a really nice fit for these types of tasks.

The main thing is that it's still kicking, Ksonnet is sadly dead. In addition to that it supports importing Helm charts, has a blessed convention for multiple environments and several native Jsonnet functions that make things a bit nic

Dedicated config languages are the best usually. Jsonnet/Cue/friends. Failing that if you actually need/want a procedural/non-pure language then I think Kotlin or Ruby take the cake. Both have extremely strong support fo

The problem with Pulumi is that it wants to manage the state of things rather than letting the k8s server handle that. This means it's a hell of a lot slower than the equivalent `kubectl apply`. Not to mention it's own state persi

Cue/Jsonnet/friends are definitely the right tools for the job. It's a shame they aren't more popular.

I do the same with Tanka + Jsonnet, definitely a million times better than dealing with Helm itself or god forbid, letting it apply manifests.

Helm makes me sad. What I do to remediate this sadness is use Helm from Tanka. There is still sadness but now it's wrapped in a nice Jsonnet wrapper and I can easily mutate the output using Jsonnet features without having to mess with

This actually depends on silicon quality. The mainboard manufacturers generally configure the OOB CPU voltages higher than they need to be in anticipation of handling crappy silicon. If you have a higher binned CPU then you can reduce that

The Thai telcos are publicly traded also. I took a look at AIS (probably the biggest here) and despite much lower prices their books are in a much better shape. Namely Profit Margin 15.81% and Operating Margin (ttm) 23.38%, they have propor

Depends why/how they left. I have seen firing a great/respected/natural leader engineer result in pretty much the whole engineering team just up and leaving.

People don't seem to realise this is already playing out with semiconductors. Huawei didn't go away despite crushing sanctions. Same for Longsoon. Both still need fabs, both are now captive customers of SMIC despite previously bei

This is not talking so much about the Docker GUI things but rather this doesn't require a Docker daemon at all. Similar tools are Google's Jib for JVM based applications, `rules_docker` and `rules_oci` for Bazel etc. All of which

We are using Workers for ~12mo now with actually very little actual downtime. There have been some regional issues but no world wide outages. That said we don't use any queues, KV, etc. Just pure JS isolates so that probably contribute

They do have the responsibility, the responsibility to appoint the appropriate fall guy in accordance with the wishes of the board.
