Both, though I will get it working in dev first (and yes, I've tended to separate clusters by environment).

Sort of both - I tend to use a managed Kubernetes cluster (like EKS), so the infra repo has YAML for operators to deal with logging, monitoring, storage, secret management, etc. Anything that is not an application workload.

One of the issues is that the open source Helm charts (or whatever) for something like Grafana do not come out-of-the-box with good config. I spent a significant amount of time a little while ago reading blogs to get Grafana to use up to da

On the use of GitOps for k8s, I think it makes sense for application workloads, and less sense for raw infrastructure definitions (unless you are running at such a scale that your infrastructure is often scaled like an application). For my

The issue (to my understanding) is that it is a very different protocol, which makes it quite onerous for application and desktop environment developers to transition to. Also, since some desktop environments have really grown opposed to Wa

I appreciate the honesty in this article, hacking a solution together that works is ultimately what counts. Having said that, why H264? If I understand correctly, the clients of the video stream are web browsers and perhaps mobile devices,

What I've wondered about is whether there is a use in having an LLM that operates on AST symbols (or some IR representation) as input and/or output. It would be language specific of course (though maybe using something like MLIR i

Here in Johannesburg, downed traffic lights are a near daily occurrence and have been for years. It took a bit of getting used to but people are used to it now and generally obey the rules. Actually there are times of day when I find it pre

Hmm, so I can replace grandma's Christmas radio with my gangster rap playlist... interesting.

An underappreciated factor for building one's career is also building a safety net, because that allows for risk. Having that safety net means you can't be taken hostage in a salary negotiation, and it means that you can entertain

I can understand the usefulness (maybe) of using this to extend an existing Rails application, but for a fully static site, I'm not sure why having to go through Rails is good. Infact it seems bad to me, I would rather have finer contr

I agree that one should push back, but I suspect we have different notions of when to do that (which is fine, my approach here is not fixed in stone). Making a page needlessly dynamic would be a concern for me if it violates business rules

I like HTMX, I use it on my blog. But I will say, in the niche where I need some dynamic DOM changes without needing a full-blown SPA, raw JavaScript with some basic utilities like jQuery is not so bad. The issue with htmx is that it is fai

"Clear is better than clever" is often touted as a key part of the Go philosophy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PAAkCSZUG1c&t=875s You can see the impacts of this in the language design. I find Go code to be

This really does feel like a domain where ML advances can help: https://artsandculture.google.com/experiment/fabricius/gwHX4... Its cool to read about though. And of course, there will always be a need for experts

The local part is the important part here. If we get consumer level hardware that can run general LLM models, there we can actually monitor locally what goes in and what goes out, then it meets the privacy needs/wants of power users.

You could have stopped at this article makes no sense - it couches and argues against itself to the point that it really says very little.

Well now you've gone and linked to a fascinating tool which I'm going to have to dive into and learn: https://kaitai.io/ Thanks.

I agree with you. Its interesting when I look at the examples you provide, that they are all non-domain services, so perhaps that is what codifies a potential rule.

I read an article linked on HN once (can't remember what it was) that recommended giving totally meaningless names to monoliths. The point being that one should not use the name as a crutch to decide what should or should not go in the

I went from Java to Go for my last job. I think there is a reduction in pattern stuff but there are still many (at least in my project). Java is kind of "begging" for patterns IMO, with all its static package protected final stuff

I embrace the extremes. I am naturally curious, and I will let myself go down rabbit holes of fascination. When I need to concentrate, I will go through a little ritual of setting do not disturb on things, closing non-work tabs and programs
