> You say this as if it's a one-way street, but it ain't. Pulumi and Hashicorp profit from there being an ecosystem of providers compatible with both and therefore useful to both sets of customers. This is idealism. The reality

> The paid features have nothing to do with the providers; They absolutely do. If I use AWS and Pulumi could not deploy to AWS, well I'm certainly not going to buy Pulumi Cloud, am I? If I use multiple cloud providers and Pulumi doe

Sure, that's a fair point. However, Pulumi Cloud is only as valuable as Pulumi itself. If Pulumi didn't support deploying to AWS, for example, then it is useless to my organization which uses AWS and I'm obviously not going t

At this time (4h after posting) they've responded to almost every other question/comment except this one, so they've seen this question and chosen not to respond, which means the answer is bad - no tests. I like the idea of a

I'm very curious about this. I imagine HashiCorp has lawyers that are quite confident in the license change. IANAL, but I'd guess that the BSL is chosen in particular because it is somehow compatible with MPL in a legal sense? Or

by quacker 3y ago
Sure, but the providers for some of the biggest platforms are maintained by HashiCorp[1] - like the AWS, Azure, GCP, and Kubernetes providers[2], and it appears the Pulumi AWS provider (for example) _does_ use the Terraform AWS provider, ev

Are you pretending they aren't a competitor profiting off that work though? Pulumi is free, except you pay for the features that aren't free: https://www.pulumi.com/pricing/ . So, Pulumi has grown their direct

OXO sells borosilicate cookware. I’m unsure if all their glass cookware is borosilicate but they clearly marked it as such when I last looked.

I sort of cynically assume that the layoff takes the subsequent attrition into account. Like I imagine they actually wanted to cut 10%, so they do 8% and let attrition take care of that remaining 2%.

For the same data, why should serializing it to JSON be particularly faster than rendering it as HTML? The server is converting the data directly to a byte string in either case, which is about the same amount of work. HTML is more verbose,

How is it fundamentally any different than 10s of thousands of clients requesting JSON or whatever other serialized data format?

The 3080 (10GB) and 3080 (12GB) also had a core count difference, although they did not release simultaneously. But I realized I did give the price for the 3080 (12 GB) model, which I corrected in an edit. So I think you're sort of rig

how is any GPU comparable to a console. For perspective, a PS5 is about the performance of a GTX 1070, give or take. So a 3080/4080 are far far better performance than that. If you already have PC parts, you could potentially upgrade

Reminder that the 780ti was $700. The top spec SKU. $700 USD in 2013 is worth $900 USD in 2022. Almost a decade of inflation. Also, the GTX Titan was $1000 USD msrp, which was essentially the 780Ti with double the memory.

by quacker 4y ago
These prices are beyond insulting The 3080 released for $800 USD in Jan 2021 which one calculator[1] says is $905 USD with inflation. So a 4080 is $900. At least they are consistent. edit: 3080 12 GB, that is. The original 3080 was $700 U

The point is that it doesn’t make as much sense for companies to produce and sell dumb TVs (or manual transmissions), given the economics. They are not telling consumers what their preferences should be.

The 13" MacBook Pro is so strange. It is identical to the M2 MacBook Air, except: - Worse camera: 720p camera where the Air has a 1080p camera - Worse speakers: stereo speakers where the Air has four-speakers (I'm assuming stereo

Almost 10 years ago we purchased a MacBook Pro with 16GB RAM and 512GB SSD for approx 2K UK pounds. With inflation, £2000 in 2012 is equal to about £2516 today. I configured an M2 MacBook Air with these specs for £1750 today, so it actual

I personally avoid buying on Amazon now if possible. I still have Prime so occasionally I buy something, but the shipping is rarely 2-day anymore. I’m surprised when it actually arrives in 2 days. Anecdotally, when browsing I often see many

Not that this would apply in your case (I don't know you), but in general there are plenty of well-credentialed people that are poor engineers (imo), or who are a good engineer but a poor fit for that company/team/position. A
