If language specific quirks lead to a language being "not well-designed", how many languages do you think are actually well-designed (if any)?

I wonder if high performance blockchains still in development such as Monad or MegaETH are going to leverage QMDB this late in the development cycle. If not, it seems like we're getting at least a couple more blockchain optimized datab

10 million users on a pair of gaming PCs is ridiculous. What's your product, a website that tells the current time?

Ignoring the issue and calling everyone nazi or fascist is precisely why the democrats lost today. Hey, at least you have 4 years to learn your lesson

running databases (or any stateful application, really) on k8s is a mess, especially at that scale

That's precisely what happened, knowing the public key of an address is commonplace (as long as the address has done at least one tx) and doesn't compromise the security of its private key

k3s single node + ArgoCD/Flux is what I would if I had to build infrastructure of a small startup by myself. Unfortunately it's HN so people are more likely to do everything in bash scripts and say a big "fuck you" to al

Most companies try to operate at a profit and actually increase those profits over time. That said, reasoning that Annapurna failed only because of that requires some impressive mental gymnastics

> Orchestrating containers is not a problem most professionals care about I truly wish you were right, but maybe it's good job security for us professionals!

if you don't need High Availability you can even deploy to a single node k3s cluster. It's still miles better than having to setup systemd services, an Apache/NGINX proxy, etc. etc.

Could you please bless us with another way to easily orchestrate thousands of containers in a cloud vendor agnostic fashion? Thanks! Oh, and just in case your first rebuttal is "having thousands of containers means you've already

I've been in your shoes for quite a long time. By now I've accepted that a lot of folks on HN and other similar forums simply don't know / care about the issue that Kubernetes resolves, or that someone else in their comp

have you looked into ENS ( https://ens.domains ) ? It's everything namecoin wanted to be and more. Also probably the only real usecase for NFTs besides pure collecting and speculation

by shakiXBT 2y ago
oh, that's cool, I didn't know that was possible. That said, I still think it's overkill and doesn't bring any real benefit? Sure you're reducing the blast radius of a security breach, but are the overcomplications

Having one account per database/backend/frontend is not only overkill, but actually a bad practice. You're going to have to expose your DB to the internet instead of having everything inside a single VPC. What you should do i

besides having fun with the hardware, I guess true high availability? Having 3 nodes is quite redundant if they're all VMs on top of the same raspberry

I've been using k3s in prod for over 3 years now. Both single-node (yeah, sue me) and multi-node have been working great, required minimal maintenance and have a super straight forward install procedure

I could argue that you're doing the exact same thing to promote gold. Money has close to zero intrisic value, it's just a social construct. Oh, and please don't try to argue about the value of gold coming from its physical pr

Yeah I would also add that in case the Sun goes supernova and the entire solar system gets obliterated, Bitcoin would probably crash to zero

Honest question: why do you feel conflicted about artists monetizing their work through NFTs? Buyers know exactly what they're getting and artists get a huge cut of the sales (intermediaries usually take a 1-2% fee). They also get roya

There's no such thing as Art art, it's just an useless elitism. Following your logic, even photography, cinema, sculpture that is aided by machines and not just scalpels, etc. is not Art art.

It seemed like a fun ad to me and that was it. People have to go through mental gymnastics to justify being angry at it, but do they feel the same way when these objects get destroyed in movies?
