Is this surprising? I haven't checked the zig license, but if it's MIT I'd expect any code contributed to the repository to be MIT by extension

I've found this is largely solved by strictly separating plain config and secrets, and then having secrets pull from GCP secret manager / vault / whatever. You can then commit all the config (including the secret identifiers)

In terms of personal banking it's definitely gotten easier for new comers with the likes of Monzo and Revolut - I had no problem opening account on arrival. From what I've heard the high street banks have improved a bit in this re

This feels brittle to me. I'd stick to creating layers by having separate root modules with their own state files (eg: in the example you could have a kubernetes root module that was shared across developers, and a buckets root module

Feels like this could be a big issue for companies like https://www.scalr.com/ - I wonder if they have a commercial license already. I've been tempted to try and put together a terraform cloud alternative myself - whil

I've not interacted with GCP support very often, but I have used GCP extensively for the past 3 years coming from an AWS background previously. All in all it's been a good experience and it's become my favourite cloud. I find

Aren't you just describing cash? Cheque has the same issue as the online alternatives in that it could "bounce" - cash (or I guess crypto) can't

Another option to workaround this could be to skip/noop checks based on the branch name prefix

Linux servers generally aren't being used interactively though and expose a fairly limited attack surface to the internet, and so I feel like the value in Linux server exploits is more in the openssl/Apache/etc vulnerabilitie

You should take a look at https://zod.dev/ if you haven't already - it's a library for runtime parsing that works really well for your use case. Types are inferred from the schema though personally I like to handw

Somewhat off-topic, but the article mentions Google docs not having a way to embed/format code nicely. This is no longer true - you can insert a code "building block" that functions much as you'd expect, though it wasn&#

Plus one - I got my current job via stackoverflow quite soon before they scrapped it and found that it had a higher quality of (interesting) job listings than LinkedIn etc at the time. Was very surprised to see it go

Grew up in a country town and free range eggs from the farm/house gate keep for a surprisingly long time - at least a month. Regardless of the source I always crack it in a mug to give it a sniff first because you never know when you&#

We use https://cloud.google.com/container-optimized-os/docs for our kubernetes nodes on GCP, as I'm sure most companies that use GKE do. Your comment made me want to say "but COS is certified too!" howev

Sorry to be clear I was replying to this part of your comment > the vast majority of computer systems just simply aren't as important as hospitals or nuclear power plants. I agree that the stakes are lower in terms of harm, but was

Timezones are a thing - your 3am is someone's 9am and may be a significant part of your customer base. Being paged constantly is a sign of bad alerts or bad systems IMO - either adjust the alert to accept the current reality or improve

I find it pretty useful for my personal account. I have a ci/cd machine that is only useful to have on when I'm actively working on the projects it manages, makes the difference between a few bucks a month and ~$80

My dell XPS has been going strong for 5 years now, replaced the battery and upgraded the SSD in that time but it's been a pretty impressive machine and definitely on par with apple laptops I've had in the past

You're talking about creating reproducible builds - which is a good idea, but in most cases you will still need to deliver that binary somewhere. That typically requires authentication, whether you're deploying to kubernetes or co

What's stopping them from introducing a new major version of the protocol that addresses this? Presumably they could have a negotiation process that newer clients invoke to upgrade the message stream to a new format, and support both i

It's not quite lambda, but GKE auto pilot supports GPU workloads, so it could be a relatively easy way to do this. You could have a rest service sticking incoming requests into a queue, and then a processor deployment picking off the q

I think it's being worked on for postgres but probably another major release or two away, quick Google came up with this https://pgconf.ru/en/2021/288667 but I'm sure I've come across discussion in

To elaborate on the sibling comment, my understanding of Wise's mechanism from having used it is something along the lines of: - they establish local accounts everywhere - a transfer is you send money locally to their account, and then

My memory is shaky as it's been a while since I used it, but I vaguely remember there being a hidden built-in administrator account that could possibly be used in this situation. Can't remember if you would need to set a password

With spot instances you just have to be prepared for them to get terminated at random. If you're processing messages off a queue in most cases you get this for free - the ack deadline will expire and the message will be redelivered to

This is essentially what I have in mind - some kind of queue, with a mediator that starts/stops a spot instance using a custom image that has everything installed and configured to start on boot With regards to state I just meant the i

Have you crunched the numbers on how many users you need to justify renting a VM with an A100 or similar? From my brief research they seem to be available for about $30 / hour, and can run 50 iterations in roughly 6 seconds. One of the

I actually wish there was a way to opt-out of the suspicious login detection mechanism. I've certainly had nerve racking moments where my login has been flagged as unusual and I wasn't sure if it would let me in (and I'm comp
