"Passwords are dying" NOPE. Magic Links are dieing. This is probably the 20th time I've seen a start-up posting proudly about how they chose magic links over standard auth and I don't think any of them have stuck. It i

I hate this magic link flow. Its a major pain in my ass when I already have a password manager that knows how to login. Now I have to leave my browser and go to my e-mail client that will open a new tab even though I already have one

I've been using fish for 3 months now after using Bash for 20. I'm probably going to switch back in the next few days. I LOVE fish but they went out of their way to not be compatible with Bash (like (pwd) instead of $(pwd) for e

I'd suggest maintaining two accounts. One that allows NSFW and one that doesn't. This is what I do, because you are on a user generated content site. I don't mind NSFW content at all but if I'm surfing reddit in line

Creating the cluster of servers isn't the value of kubernetes. We all had clusters of servers well before k8s, openstack, and things like AWS. The benefit of k8s is the orchestration of those clusters. Spinning up 6 new http servers

We switched our developer environment to k8s instead of docker-compose and our lives improved dramatically. Software is complex these days and having nice orchestration is awesome both in development and in production.

by sontek 6y ago
Yeah, I think thats the point though. Kubernetes enables the orchestration and observability of a PaaS in a much more flexible way so that you can get all of that while still matching the requirements of your business. I think Heroku and D

Have you seen kops? rancher? loft? I don't think its that terrible to manage k8s at all using the tools available to you. k8s definitely used to be be difficult to manage but that isn't the case anymore. But literally every clo

None of it requires kubernetes, kubernetes just does it out of the box better than any hand-rolled custom stack that tried to do the same. Its a true joy to work with compared to the cobbled together stuff I've built and/or used

Yeah, I honestly think there are some great learnings to be had from fossil that could be applied to git as well. Its unfortunate that ticketing, wikis, etc are all vendor specific for git (gitlab, github, bitbucket, sr.ht, etc) but with f

Pyramid powers some extremely highly trafficked websites. Its a great framework. https://surveymonkey.com and https://pypi.org/ or both written in it.

by sontek 6y ago
The "core" of pyramid is extremely powerful. It has a full authentication/authorization framework that can be tied into. It gives you no opinions on how to do these things but it having the hooks in place allows you to dev

Its been on my list to try writing a reasonably modern web application using nothing but SQLite and: https://wapp.tcl.tk/home/doc/trunk/README.md Which is created by the creator of SQLite! I think it'd

haha, same. jwz really wants us to see the testes!

Yes it does. I use brave and I get testicles if I click the link.

Sounds like you were probably using gnome-screensaver or some of the many other poorly written alternatives like cinnamon that do this. I don't believe there is any way for xscreensaver to unlock the desktop even if it does crash

by sontek 6y ago
haha, yeah. I don't like using URL shorteners either there is just a balance to be made between them tracking you and getting redirected to testicles. Can't count on everyone having referrer turned off

JWZ has been complaining about these screensavers for a decade. His screensaver from 20 years ago still doesn't have these issues. Its not an X11 problem. - https://bit.ly/3o2qekz - https://bit.ly/38Y6

Maybe off topic but this site might have convinced me to move to Firefox. Are all of you reading this page on mobile or a small screen? I have a large monitor and this page expands full width of the screen and the lines are extremely hard

I think we all know that there is a carbon footprint cost to what we do. Its the reason google has been working on renewable energy datacenters for so long: https://www.google.com/about/datacenters/renewable/

In the article it says the co-author specifically requested the paper not be published because they "didn’t want such an early draft circulating online". Sounds like Timnit might have jumped the gun a bit and it wasn't just

I think you are confusing her previous work (which was on race) and the work this article is discussing. This research paper in question was about AI and natural language processing and its carbon footprint and all that. Nothing to do with

They didn't fire her. She said "I will quit if you don't meet these demands" and they were unwilling to meet the demands. If she didn't threaten to quit, I can't imagine they would've done anything other

I found this blog really hard to read. It has a static font of "15px" which is an odd decision since browsers default to a 16px. I would love to see it updated to us em instead. Since I actually have tweaked my browser settings
