git may have become successful, but that doesn't mean it's right. I'd argue that most developers still don't really understand git. I know seasoned, senior developers who struggle when git gets into an unfamiliar state

Thanks for the correction; I worded that unclearly. My point is that with MVS, the solver will favour the oldest package that is allowed by the semver version constraint; given transitive dependencies on multiple packages, it will conservat

I don't disagree — dep has been a huge improvement on Go's package management story. Until dep was stable, we were using Glide, which is extremely buggy. That said, if you ignore the doubts and arguments about the sanity of its de

The article is about vgo, a proposal (with working prototype) to build package management into Go itself. vgo bundles several improvements, a major one being the introduction of "modules", which are versioned collections of packag

Ruby is actually an ISO standard. Admittedly, it's frozen at Ruby 1.8 and it doesn't count for much.

Similar story here. I managed to spill coffee on my MacBook Pro 2015, which I had been really happy with -- great performance (max out with CPU, RAM and 1TB SSD). I got the new 2017 model, and really hated the keyboard, but also really disl

It says right there in the article -- a coastal farmer discovered that the cows grazing on nearby seaweed were healthier and had more active periods of heat. A subsequent study found that it also had an effect on methane production.

I found an answer here [1], via a Reddit thread [2] (where the answers are apparently gone): I won't go into details, but if the conductor wants to exit the train and leave the doors open at the terminal, he needs to wal

I've never been bothered by that (and as others point out, the L is automated, anyway). What I'd like to know is why, when the L reaches the 8th Ave stop in Manhattan, the operator waits 10 seconds after coming to a full stop be

I'm referring to Cloud CDN [1], which is per-backend setting that is disabled by default. Unlike some other offerings (like AWS CloudFront), the CDN is transparent and built into the GLBC. Just by turning on the CDN, your load balancer

Do we know what the Kubernetes' team's official plan for fixing the ingress situation is? My opinion is that ingress portability isn't really that useful in practice. You want implementation lock-in at the ingress level, si

I did describe both (Google could do a much better job with the integration on GCP/GKE), but by "Kubernetes first" I meant the latter. Databases run fine on Kubernetes and have been doing fine since 1.7, and the meme that Doc

We were talking about openshift.com, though. I didn't realize there were more than one site. Since you're going there: - I didn't even know it was called "OpenShift Origin"! - I don't understand what the differ

We used Drone [1] from a while. It's almost exactly what I want in a CI/CD system, and it runs pretty well on Kubernetes. On the minus side, the development has been slow, with major breaking changes happening along the way. And i

Google does use GCP/GKE internally. And Google's internal Kubernetes team is basically the GCP team, according to googlers on HN.

Hence my skepticism. Someone who doesn't know how to engage with engineers is someone I don't have any interest in engaging with, either.

That's what I mean by "Kubernetes first". Why not use Kubernetes to declaratively define nodes, disks, load balancers, firewall rules, DNS rules...? If you look at Terraform, for example, it's just an "object store&

Many of the founders (e.g. Brendan Burns) are still working on Kubernetes, so I don't see how that's relevant. Google is heavily invested in Kubernetes, and so is a bunch of other companies. According to googlers here on HN, Goo

I don't think that's true. If you believe the team that designed Kubernetes, Kubernetes is an attempt to improve on Borg. Borg is an accumulation of a decade's work with containers at Google, and has been described by googler

That's not what I meant, though. A Kubernetes PV is an abstraction that causes a controller allocate a GCE disk (which of course is another abstraction), but if you create a GCE disk through the CLI/UI/API, then you don'

Thanks, I know about service brokers. My point was that there's an opportunity for a vendor to do this better out of the box.

Maybe. I'm skeptical of Red Hat. The openshift.com web site, which is definitely not geared toward engineers, doesn't give me any confidence that this is what I'm after. Not that Google is better here, but I already know wh

We were on DigitalOcean before GCP. They're okay. They're cheap, but can't really compare to GCP in terms of performance, stability, networking, object storage, etc. Their Kubernetes offering is also a GKE competitor, not a &

Right, IO does not collect the results this way. putStr for strings is declared like so: putStr :: String -> IO () Here, () is the unit type, which is similar to null/nil in other languages. In other words, I/O functio
