I am all for firing EU leadership. But my reasons are probably different to yours. EU style of lockdown was stupid in more than one way. Like prohibition of open air sporting events well into summer of 2020. And then repeating it in 2021. S

Which works ok if you're an island in the middle of nowhere, but it works a lot less ok if you're an EU county with people used to the idea of travelling anywhere without even having to show an ID. We've been through some pre

I am quite sure he's just evil. A nuclear disaster as a result of russian shelling will for sure result in a direct NATO involvement. And despite all of it's propaganda, Russia cannot win a conventional war against NATO and nobody

Ukraine has a neonazi problem that has been thoroughly analyzed and presented in the West. That's not exactly news. However (and that's a big however) majority of Ukranians are not neonazis. And their political leadership is certa

MAD works both ways. And some European countries (like the above mentioned France) have nuclear weapons. So I don't think Putin would make it to the French coastline easily. Ukraine should have made use of the material from the Chernob

High DPI displays support can be quite rough in Linux, along with slowish GUI. Some apps are fine, others less so. Last time I was using Mac - it was constantly overheating, then the battery inflated itself, Docker performance was awful. I

First thing one should always set on any cloud account is billing alerts. Set > 1 and set first to ~ 80% of what you think will be your normal cost then add extra alerts all the way up to 100%. That way you'll usually get an early w

You can use nix-shell to create complete runtime environments with pinned software versions. Not sure re nix flakes (it's been a while since I last used Nix) however I found nix-shell pretty good for exactly this type of stuff.

If you can't be bothered to provide a demo of your product why should I bother setting it up myself?

Not so long ago GCP Pg didn't support PITR. It looks like they do now. Not sure if you can create a separate instance from backup or restore only to a running instance. Not sure if they allow external replicas. I suggest you discuss th

That remains to be seen. However it still doesn't inspire a lot of trust. Wondering what would the fallout be if another MAX crashed because of another ugly hack turned deadly.

This strikes close to home - in a good way. While details are a bit different (excluding the college drop out part) I guess the best investment my parents made was when they bought me an i386... it sure took me places and then some. Being 4

Documentation that ends up rotting and being ignored is usually a consequence of a poor organization/processes. Such places are usually not a very happy place to work at. How exactly can you use an email (or email thread) buried somewh

Using Docker will provide you a complete runtime env which will in most cases 'just work' on a variety of hosts. It's easy to reproduce and easy to distribute. You can easily setup other dependencies and connect everything to

I got to use this combination a few months ago when I changed jobs. It was just incredibly unstable, MacOS would just crash all over the place, requiring reboots every other day or so. Macbook used to overheat too, spining up ventilator whi

Depending on use case one can consider creating target table as UNLOGGED, then altering it after bulk data load. It makes for a really fast load, but it won't survive a server crash so altering it back to 'set logged' after t

No it wasn't. Your own scientists came forward with numbers on the cost. And it was too high. Health care system would (it might still) crash, leading to a lot of extra deaths and other unpleasant consequences like backlog of non urgen

Check current Italy numbers and projections and then keep telling yourself about overdramatizing. Then add the effects of ongoing lockdowns and travel bans on economy. Them add the effects (short and long term) of redirecting a lot of healt

It might already be too late for UK. Italy missed the mark by a week and it's a disaster in parts of the country. I'm from Slovenia and we implemented a total shutdown of public life. Now we are now waiting to see if it'll wo

EB or ECS specific knowledge is AWS specific. I can (and do) run k8s on my laptop and can (and do) deploy Helm charts (the ones I wrote or 3rd party ones) on any k8s install. So that's quite different to the usual vendor lock in that c

Yup. Corosync + Pacemaker can and will implode in a spectacular fashion exactly when you don't want it to. And 2 node cluster will split brain sooner rather than later. I'd rather use keepalived if required, since it's a lot

So why don't you move to cloud/managed services? I can tell you from own experience that having a HA solution you don't really understand is a really bad idea. Just go with master/replica for Pg and a well documented tro

Docker file produces what basically is a software package with all the required dependencies. Deploy it to some Docker host and it will most likely run. It will run on a developer laptop, a VM or in K8s/Mesos/Nomad cluster. Add so

Set budget alerts. And check what's going on if they start going off. Or think again if you really need 'infinitely scalable bla blah' for personal project on a small budget.
