I don't think it's fair. Simple is subjective. Goals should be objective. I don't want to know and understand the entire context in which a project was conceived.

I totally agree with foo and bar. These words literally mean nothing. I cannot fathom a situation where introducing arbitrarily named variables adds something meaningful. Also funny how the article itself doesn't implement the tips it

The thing that confuses me is that the second example shows a histogram of the user activity which appears to be not a normal distribution. But for pilot dimensions, I would expect the histogram to actually follow a normal distribution. I f

For this reason I wouldn't recommend FastAPI for anything serious. If it works, fine, but if you hit an edge case... prepare for a world of trouble. I wouldn't build my stack on top of it.

I learned about this thanks to you. Looks great.

I disagree about FastAPI in this list of frameworks. Django and Flask have great documentation, FastAPI does not. There is no API reference for FastAPI, so often you will have to read the source code to understand what options are available

I got from a comment on HN a few months ago, so also thank the commenter that I don't remember.

And what about the install script? That one is still failing.

I don't know what universe you're from. Communication kills productivity? The opposite is true. Getting feedback early and often is a productivity booster. Sure, sometimes it's better to ask in a public channel instead of 1:1

You're right but in reality DevOps teams in 2022 are managing Kubernetes clusters and gatekeepers to all kinds of cloud services to facilitate development.

No one ever said a VPS with a shell script is terrible. You think of scale the wrong way. Scaling is not only about increasing from 10 requests / second to 1000 requests / second. Scaling is about organizational scale too, i.e. ho

I agree with the tone of your suggestions, but your suggestions still take quite some time to read. They can easily be shortened without losing any information. For example, no need to to apologize for being the process person (being overly

This is not good news at all. Access to basic healthcare should be a constitutional right. This only increases the power of mega corps.

It works great in practice for me. What issues are you running into?

I completely understand what you're saying, but Python is a lot better now. You don't have to worry about Python 2 anymore and the tooling is a lot better as well (Black, Flake8, Poetry are all really nice).

This question refers to the benefits of containerization and not Kubernetes. But to answer your question: your command is dependent on (1) the availability of Git, (2) Go and (3) systemd on your host OS. Without containers, this list of dep

Because the problem isn't banking. There are lots of people who don't have access to clean water either. Doesn't mean we need new solutions to provide clean water, but rather we need to figure out why existing solutions don&#

Simple is subjective and dependent on where you're coming from. If you're used to Kubernetes then managing virtual machines seems needlessly time consuming and vice versa.

K8s is not about scaling, it's about declarative configuration management, which gives you the opportunity to easily scale as an added bonus. It feels extremely liberating to have my code and Kubernetes files in a repository, knowing t

I half agree with you here. It is actually quite simple, but everything in Kubernetes is very explicit, which is good, but also intimidating. If you've never worked with Kubernetes before then it's a lot of added complexity withou

by mmcnl 4y ago
The complexity of Kubernetes is overstated, so I think they can. However, it doesn't mean they should. Personally I would just start with a docker-compose.yml and run it on a VPS. In the starting phase you probably don't have much

I like what you're saying, but your woodworking metaphor falls a bit flat for me because it teaches me more about woodworking than about building IT infrastructure.

Your reasoning is something like: problem unbanked people, solution crypto. I don't understand that reasoning at all. Why not look at solutions that have actually proven to work first? Why not investigate the problem and figure out wha

100% true. Awful elitism.

Banking is a solved problem, has been for decades. Seeking an alternative in technological complex solutions is running away from the actual problem.

Crypto is one of many solutions for this problem. I'm willing to argue that out of 10 possible solutions, the crypto solution is the worst of all. Simply because the law is the law, and crypto might make it harder to enforce the law, i

A very important part of any use case is that you clearly define a goal. What is the goal of "decentralized, censorship-resistant, programmable money"? These are crypto invented words that have no meaning outside of the crypto eco

What problem does being your own bank solve? You're posing crypto as a solution to crypto-defined problems that no one actually has. How does crypto improve my life? How will it make me happier, healthier and how will it help me contri
