Perhaps at one point I was realistic but I think at this point I’ve seen enough blatant deception that I am overly paranoid as sort of a defense mechanism. This is probably still more accurate than how I viewed things before, but all I real

Makes sense. I suppose in my case it’s ease of service to service communication + deployment that’s the primary benefit. Consul could easily handle the first, but deployment could be a bit trickier. Ultimately I think if GKE didn’t exist I

Do you have any actual data related to this claim or am I just supposed to assume that it's true by inferring things from Amazon's cloud offerings? Edit: Sorry for the aggressive tone, I overreacted a bit because it seems like eve

This is the best take on the GitHub / Microsoft hysteria that I have seen. Thank you.

It is Demandware. The pricing is awful (a flat rate of hundreds of thousands + 3.5%), the old pipeline based model is awful, and even the new JS based replacement isn't great. It has the ability to run "jobs" but the error re

In the launch video they asked about Ingress and it's apparently a work in progress.

Today at 2PM EST on twitch.tv/aws The email just said "We can hardly contain ourselves. Tune in tomorrow for a live announcement about running containers on AWS." But that almost certainly means EKS.

Got an email yesterday that pretty much said everything but "we're launching EKS tomorrow". It's really the only container-related announcement they could be making.

It probably also applies to EKS which is launching on Twitch at 2pm EST today

I get that people may not like the tone here...but the central point is true. Microsoft is even more aggressive about this stuff than Google now. Having to opt-out per major update is just insane, almost nobody will remember to do it making

Is it? Most people I’ve seen working with Docker have tried their best to use Alpine for everything. Even something with a lot of OS dependencies tends to end up at around 200MB on the high end.

They definitely aren’t usually buying them because of typical CPU/RAM specs or whatever, but I think things like battery life, trackpad, keyboard, display, general build quality are all still very relevant aspects of hardware that peop

I disagree, I think Apple is still rather committed to the Mac even if it is no longer their #1 priority. Even if it's a small part of their profits, it's a big source of the strength of their brand (visually speaking, a Mac stand

At this point I don’t think anyone sane is seriously advocating for the adoption of Scala.

Well, they can stop paying people to work on it and divorce GitHub from it entirely. I’m sure it would still available and worked on though.

VS Code is actually nearly identical on all platforms just like Atom. I find Atom generally has more available plugins, but VS Code can’t be beat for TypeScript imo.

Is it theoretically possible for the State of California to do something to take direct control of the local government?

I had forgotten about the Atom and VS Code angle of this. I wonder if MS will deprecate Atom in favor of VS Code now...

More regulation around wage theft & mandatory overtime or limits on hours worked could really benefit tech workers as well. I for one would really like overtime over 50 hours to be mandatory, at the very least. It's just not sustai

While I'm skeptical it would really be a server driven full stack web framework like it was in the past, a bit more effort on the server-side Swift front would definitely be appreciated. It seems like a small dribble of resources is cu

WTF does this even mean? Are you really trying to tell me that Ruby isn’t an improvement over Perl? What exactly is the problem with Ruby for their use case?
