Most of the legitimate datacenter-scale direct Ceph alternatives unfortunately are proprietary, in part because it takes so much money and human-expertise-hours to even be able to prove out that scale, they want to recoup costs and stay ahe

DigitalOcean uses Ceph underneath their S3 and block volume products. When I was there they had 2 teams just managing Ceph, not even any of the control plane stuff built on top. It is a complete bear to manage and tune at scale. And DO neve

Because Nix is a huge pain ramp up on and to use for anyone who is not an enthusiast about the state of their computer. What will happen is concepts from Nix will slowly get absorbed into other, more user-friendly tooling while Nix circles

The problem is that if you're not already differentiably the best at hosting your service right when you launch, someone else that's better at hosting can just do it and take all your business. And hosting while keeping your price

I mean Stripe has gotten bazillions in VC money allowing it to take huge losses in order to grow to its point. Gumroad is tiny and does not have the economies of scale of Stripe, without knowing their financials this does not say anything a

True, when the Zionist gangs showed up at UCLA and started shooting Roman candles, and choking out and beating protestors it did get violent really quick. Luckily the police showed up to protect the Zionists so they could keep committing vi

I like the focus on accessibility. Standards & Accessibility go hand in hand, the splintering of approaches means accessibility is always playing catchup. It's not in the business of pushing for RFCs, but the U.S. Web Design System

I also recommend "Database Internals" to people. An invaluable book, the logical next read after "Designing Data-Intensive Applications". It's the best and most approachable resource on distributed systems and datab

a bug taking a year to track down is a negative indicator of the quality of project maintenance, not the person who contributed the bug, whether it's due the code itself or the tooling and testing environments available to verify such

A fundamental problem here not yet discussed directly here is how few maintainers there really are for a software project of this magnitude and importance. Further, the fact that so many of those maintainers are purely on volunteer time. No

seriously Google probably put a couple billion person-hours just into V8 optimizations, we could have just had a language that makes sense, is efficient, and doesn't have endless footguns.

Interesting, I'll have to check it out. I looked at alacritty but I really like using terminal tabs and the alacritty dev is really really against them and I found the dev's attitude to be more than a bit abrasive. Not that Kovid

For those that have to bounce between Mac and Linux for work/personal reasons, I cannot recommend Kitty terminal enough. The main thing that's a big of a pain is you'll probably want to set up a scrollback pager (I use neovim

being within an "ideal" or "average" bodyfat range will easily put you as overweight on BMI. it's a useless statistic.

by skrtskrt 2y ago
It is bad all around, the inaccuracies start waaaay before you get to something you could call an "edge case". I'm 5'11, 180 lb male, that counts as overweight. I'm 18% bodyfat. You wouldn't even note me as bei
