Makes sense. But this is exactly what i was saying: the tooling you're using makes it easy to set environment variables, and doesn't make it easy to add config files, so in this case, environment variables are easier to use than c

I'm on HN because the links are interesting. If there are real SpaceX employees who know about this, let's hear from them. The huge majority of comments on this piece right now are from people who know nothing about the subject -

I'm not sure what you're saying about pipelines. Ultimately, every app process is started by some manager. It's just as easy for that manager to create a config file as it is to set environment variables. If your point is tha

The libc is absolutely part of the operating system. Some people and tools go out of their way to avoid using it, but they are completely mistaken to do so. Go in particular has wasted a huge amount of effort on this absolutely pointless ex

Everything you both wrote is spot on - but there's nothing about it which means you have to use environment variables! All of those mechanisms could be used with any other means of delivering the config at the point of process invocati

If you actually know about this stuff, i would be very interested to hear the reasoning behind a cubic kilometre being a generous keep-out zone (and cubic kilometres even being a sensible unit for a keep-out zone). Since this is HN, my gues

I bought a cheap little air quality meter recently. It has a power socket and battery compartment on the back. The manual says "DO NOT PUT BATTERIES IN THE BATTERY COMPARTMENT, THEY WILL NOT WORK". I would guess they reused the ca

Did the regulators say no to Braid specifically? Felt more like the regulators were putting pressure on the sponsor bank to get out of risky businesses in general.

Nissan make a series hybrid (which they call "e-power"), although with a very small (2.1 kWh) battery, so it doesn't work as a plug-in hybrid, and sadly it is apparently rubbish: https://www.arenaev.com/nissan
