For a medium size biz, I'd probably still recommend using GKE or EKS. A smallish EKS cluster of a few nodes will cost <1k a month for everything, it's fully managed so you don't need to pay anyone except for the initial se

I was in the "office is a good thing" camp for a while, but having been forced now to do 3 days, then forced to move to an office an extra 20 minute commute away, I've changed my feelings on the matter. Spending 2-2.5 hrs in

It's right there. https://github.com/ergo-services/examples It looks like a close copy of Erlang APIs, albeit with the usual golang language limitations and corresponding boilerplate and some additional stuff. Mos

I don't think Netflix is for you and me. I can't remember the last time I watched a Netflix show. The content is bad, the UI is bad, everything is bad compared to what I remember of the early Netflix days. _But_ the stock is way u

README.md/DEVELOPER.md in the project repo which details how to set up and get things running. That has the highest bang for buck in my experience, and is usually kept up to date as it's right next to the code and easy to update.

That on-call doesn't sound healthy at all. Have you tried improving it? You have a strong case for it - such a noisy on-call will miss real issues.

The community fostered at /r/anime by mods is completely different to the chaos of MAL and /a/.

by nvarsj 2y ago
It still has good communities I'd say. It depends hugely on the mods. There's nothing else like /r/anime, for example.

It doesn't devalue much at all. In fact most Rolex bought 20 years ago are now worth 200-300% their purchase price, scratches and all. After a service, they look practically new as almost everything can be replaced/brought back to

I'd say that's how you're supposed to wear a watch, even a luxury watch. Babying it defeats the point completely. I wear my Rolex or Omega every day :). Scratches add character and history! I'll be giving my watches to m

What's wrong with scratches? Even gold watches are not using soft gold... they are very durable. Stainless steel watches are pretty much bombproof. Also everything is typically replaceable/repairable (e.g. surface can be polished)

Why do you think luxury watches are fragile? Most of these watches are built to last decades and are easily repairable.

She is implying that businesses will leave the US due to regulation. It's the most ridiculous argument ever though, given US is the largest and most profitable market for any business. A small thing like banning non-competes will not c

Yes I've tried to use the neovim plugin many times - but always run into some annoying bug, usually due to an interaction with another extension or VSCode feature. It has >400k installs though so it must be working for some people.

Hmm I guess my comment was kind of tongue in cheek. I think a lot of k8s was driven by political or pet-project reasons. E.g. using etcd.

I agree it takes a toll - but you get well compensated for it.

The irony is this kind of describes k8s as well.

Not really a fan at all. Dep and its predecessors followed kiss principles, were easy to reason about, and had great support for vendoring. I’ve wasted so much time dealing with “module hell” in go, that I never dealt with in the prior year

Haven’t touched Haskell in years, but I found the best guide was Brent Yorgey’s old UPenn CIS194 online class. It contains easy to digest text lectures with follow up classwork. I successfully taught dozens of people who had no former funct

The best thing I ever did for work was to get a notebook and keep a running todo. Every few days I start a new entry, copying over old items and ignoring items that aren't important anymore. I then prioritise my work and get going. Thi

Was involved in a "security mandated" mandatory rollout of Crowdstrike at my prior company. This software was utter shit, and broke stuff all over the place. And installs itself as basically malware into critical paths everywhere.

I think he was just using hyperbole for effect. Also to annoy people probably.

Maybe because those people can now get medical prescriptions for their health problems? This article is really bizarre. It seems the BBC continues to spiral into a thinly veiled mouthpiece of the government/conservatives.

Yeah, I was probably being a bit too harsh in my original comment. I do find them useful, you just have to be wary of the output.

I agree. I've just seen it hallucinate too many things that on the surface seem very plausible but are complete fabrications. Basically my trust is near 0 for anything chatgpt, etc. spits out. My latest challenge is dealing with people

Intelligence != experience. We are all aware of the very bright junior engineer that produces huge code volume and creates massive technical debt. It takes experience to go with the boring, simple approach.

Do people actually like jsonnet and that style of embedding a programming language inside a data format? Reminds me of the days of XML programming - it's just awful to work with and barely comprehensible to beginners.

Moderation is absolutely essential past a certain critical mass of users (probably 100). So ultimately, the demise of your group is the fault of the admin.
