The one thing I want to know in cases like this is: why did it affect multiple Availability Zones? Making a resource multi-AZ is a significant additional cost (and often involves additional complexity) and we really need to be confident tha

There's... a lot of hand waving in this article and no numbers. I'd be pretty surprised if `malloc_trim` had a significant effect on cpython memory usage as most python memory gets allocated in 256KiB "arenas", which, wh

GitHub has a number of features. One of them is called Labels. One of them is called Actions. Of the matrix of possible two-feature combinations, the first person to happen to combine the two doesn't get an automatic moral right to the

Take a look at the project in question. It's a fairly straightforward github action. I imagine facebook has some (probably quite sensible) policy that they shouldn't rely on random third-party actions, and rather than just forking

Well of course you've got to do that in the first place to get people to sign up to the docker model and become dependent on registries in the first place.

I tend to find unmet dependencies to be an opportunity to package that dependency and upstream it. Even keeping the package private in situations where that's not appropriate feels like less work than the alternative of manual manageme

No, I absolutely acknowledge the value of a "docker image" as, essentially, an interchange format. But it's also reached for as a solution for a whole heap of other things which are much better done in other ways.

This. I think the most powerful ability of Nix is in defining development and deployment environments and the managing of headless machines. Though I do realize that a lot of people love running NixOS as a desktop distribution, I do wish pe

It's a shame to me how docker has come to be seen as "the usual software", as it's really just another layer of duck tape which uses OS features to pretend that arbitrary build processes are "reproducible" (whe

Having worked with these tools, in comparison Salt/Chef/Puppet/Ansible are a collection of footcannons wrapped in the guise of a solution. The entire idea of trying to manage a fleet of stateful OS installations and stay on t

Hold on there, let's not blur any definitions - Nix is also Free software, with the tools chiefly licensed as LGPL. The difference comes in the maintained software distribution, nixpkgs, being less strict in its package inclusion crite

Neat idea. Still needs a purge block of course, but I wonder if it could be altered to extrude it into another "purge filament" which could be used again as scratch filament. I guess there might be a limit on the number of times m

Does ROCm even support Navi yet? For the amount invested in the hardware development, the amount AMD have been investing in the software side has been shocking.

Binary packages make me sad too and I wish there were a way to mark them as such using a `meta` key. It starts to become a bit of a grey area in some cases though. For instance - java packages. Is a .jar a binary? Probably. But so many java

They're not really the same thing. I haven't found GIS apps to have the _parametric_ abilities that would allow the GP to perform the sort of constraint-based modelling they desire.

And this is the perfect illustration of why I find ruby's obsession with attempting to make code read like natural language abhorrent. Imagine you're told to pick up a project written like this. This is what it's like for non

A well-written Nix package should be buildable at any point in the future, producing near-identical results. This is why I sometimes publish Nix packages for obscure & hard to build pieces of software that I'm not likely to maintai

The article makes a good description of the problem, explains how the solution works, but doesn't really explain why the solution solves the problem. How can it protect against a delayed identical signal being re-transmitted at a hig

I think it's very clear that I wasn't commenting on what framework they choose to write their projects in, and you're rather deliberately missing my point.

These are both things that are unlikely to ever be able to run on anything other than nvidia hardware. It's hardly a mark in their favour over abusive lock-in practices.

This would be ten times worse (for everyone except Apple).
