“OP uses a sledgehammer to build a bird house and complains it’s too difficult” This is equivalent to using K8s to deploy a static site and complaining infra is the hardest of all. React isn’t the skeleton key for front end apps. Sometimes

The company I work at runs a HA setup of Temporal on K8s, so Temporal atop k8s is a great recipe. I'd be curious to hear the reasoning for Temporal replacing K8s (or do you just mean replacing a piece of k8s?) Seeing as how as reconcil

It still boggles my mind that, in an age where K8s is huge and K8s's reconciliation loop pattern is well recognized, Temporal has yet to put "reconciler" or "state-machine" in their documentation or descriptions. I

Isn't this pretty par for the course when it comes to managed databases? Because the database is managed, they restrict super user access so you don't bork it. Seems to be the case for AWS[1] and GCP[2]. Not sure if they have a wo

This is only tangentially related to your point, but Riot uses CRDTs for their chat system. https://technology.riotgames.com/news/chat-service-architect...

Quite a few data stores use CRDTs under the hood. Redis uses CRDTs for active-active architectures [1] and for some of their native data structures [2]. Riak also uses them in their data store [3]. And looks like PayPal might use them for c

I know that YJS is a common library that people use for using CRDTS in the browser and web-apps. https://github.com/yjs/yjs

I have implemented a CRDT system and have also blogged about it afterwards. So I can confirm this. Joking aside though, CRDTs are still a pretty esoteric space and all the various blog posts came in handy when I was researching how to build

Are you talking about just people in the CS program or all university programs? My first pass through college was in oceanography and I definitely didn't treat it as a bootcamp. I had no idea what my job prospects would be like after g

I definitely agree, I do think uni degrees are severely over priced and don’t prepare people for jobs as much as people think. I have an oceanography degree that just collects dust in my parent’s attic. But that in itself doesn’t mean what

Sure there are rich people that go to school for shits and giggles. But “job benefit” isn’t exactly the same as “job placement”. I went back to school for improve my own CS fundamentals but not to immediately get a job. And many people do t

Why are you bringing up vaccines and medicine in a discussion about bootcamps? I’m criticizing both the false claims and the VC model of hyper scaling and hyper growth being applied to education. "Move fast and break things" isn&#

by sunny--tech 5y ago
You can’t compare uni and bootcamps because they’re a false equivalency as someone else pointed out. The sole purpose of a bootcamp is to get a job afterwards. That’s why they market their job placement rates so much. Uni, video courses, an

Yeah honestly if I wasn’t writing on Medium and was only a reader, I’m not sure I would pay for it either. I totally get the gripes from a casual reader stand point. There are some unique approaches to this idea of casual viewing. I know Co

I've heard good things about substack and it's on my list to check out. Just been too lazy. Do you use it? And if so, how do you like it?

No you don't give up rights. You own everything you write and publish. Medium has a setting where you can download all of your files at once as HTML files and there are tools for converting those html files into markdown. https:/

There's likely multiple reasons for this. One of my gripes with Medium is it's lack of transparency for how writers earn money. If your views are coming from mainly external sources, Medium won't pay you for that. Also, Mediu

Yeah you can sign up for free, but to read all the paywall/monetized articles, you need to pay $5 per month.

There are two sides to this, though we often only hear one. For readers who aren't subscribed to Medium, it can be annoying. You go to read an article, and if that article is monetized, you see a banner to sign up. Plenty of people lea

That's a good call out and I realize that was an error on my part. I meant to put in the Mersenne Twister but when I went back through my notes when I was writing, I misread that linear congruential generators were popular decades ago.

Yeah I did edit that section: "And that source will vary depending on what kind of random number generator you want to use. I’m sure that last sentence caused some confused looks. What do you mean by “kind of random number generator”?

by sunny--tech 5y ago
Yes I'm aware that there's an ongoing debate about whether a human, or anything for that matter, can truly be random. But I wasn't going to bring this up in this article, or add caveats to every single point, or else this wou
