It depends of course, but probably Kubernetes is a solution to problems that you don't have, while it creates new problems that you don't currently have.

I switched to it after more than 12 years with Consolas, expecting to quickly get bored of it, like every other time I had a brief affair with a different font. But One Mono stuck!

The Rust ecosystem is getting slower faster than the compiler is getting faster. Libraries grow to add features, they add dependencies. Individually the growth is not so bad, and justified by features or wider platform support. But they add

The problem with AI is that we might get an artificial general superintelligence before we get the first big disaster, and when a big disaster happens at that point, it could be so big that it’s catastrophic for humanity. Lots has been writ

For reporting the expected type on mismatch, I do something similar in RCL to be able to track the source of the expectation: https://ruudvanasseldonk.com/2024/implementing-a-typechecker...

By now I consider LLM text a double insult. It says “I couldn’t be bothered to spend time writing this myself,” yet it makes _me_ waste time reading through the generated fluff! I agree with the article, I'd rather read the prompt. ht

If like me you can do basic queries in jq, but as soon as it gets slightly more complex (e.g. filter objects where some nested property that may not exist has a particular value), you wish you could do it with familiar Python/Rust&#x2F

Kylie Minogue is the only female artist who had a #1 album in the UK in five consecutive decades (!), something even Madonna didn't manage to. Edit, the article says “across”, not a #1 album in every decade. In the 90s she only reached

If you have to deal with tools that need to be configured with yaml, give https://rcl-lang.org/ a try! It can be "coded" to avoid duplication, with real variables, functions, and loops. It can show you the res

To make sure that you can test CI locally, the best way I've found so far is to make sure the checks can run with Nix, and then keep the CI config itself as simple as possible and just call Nix. As for reducing boilerplate in the CI co

It seems I can configure it with at most 1TB of storage, and the display is lower resolution, but aside from that it does look like a nice device.

From the pictures, it looks like this device does not have the kind of build quality that XPS and MacBook have.
