This is the way. Remove Helm and Argo from your IaC entirely and manage as much as possible via Terraform with the hashicorp/kubernetes provider. It's simpler (fewer tools), and you also get: - Clarity re: destruction of obsoleted

Everyone interested (critically or not) in this paper should also read “Recoding America” by Pahlka. While written before the AI boom, it gives an extremely thorough treatment to institutional behaviors re: technology and effectiveness, inf

I’m with you that it’s terrible, but it very much does have schemas! The vast vast majority of YAML-based big APIs (k8s, helm, compose, and so on) all absolutely do check documents against schemas (not just ad-hoc validation rules) intern

Another vital quality of good QA teams is that they often serve as one of the last/main repositories of tribal knowledge about how an org's entire software system actually behaves/works together. As businesses grow and produc

> there's no "decades-running trap of trying to solve this". I’m not as certain. The fact that we’ve gone from ASN.1 to COBRA/SOAP to protobuf to Cap’n’web and all the million other items I didn’t list says something.

How would that be different from current municipal police forces?

Yes! And like … “out-compete” assumes a zero sum game. There are massive industries where the tools used to serve different market segments only barely overlap decades after the “game changing” tool was made available. Like, screw the whole

I'm glad it works for you! I may not have described the situation super clearly: most bugs I triage are either very causally shallow (i.e. they line up exactly with a release or merge, or have an otherwise very well-known cause like

That's not true as generally as you might expect. Folks might be using mmap with MAP_POPULATE; they might have overcommit turned off; they might be operating in an rlimit/cgroup (like most container runtimes/orchestrators con

Bisect is one of those things where if you're on a certain kind of project, it's really useful, and if you're not on that kind of project you never need it. If the contributor count is high enough (or you're otherwise

I think that’s primarily a Rust issue, not an LLVM issue. LLVM is at least competitive performance-wise in every case I’ve used it, and is usually the fastest option (given a specific linker behavior) outright. That’s especially true on lar

I hear this a lot, but I don’t really understand how this manifests in language complexity like the stuff in TFA in practice. Like, I can understand how systems programming requiring programmers to think about questions like “how can I proc

I’d argue they’re only distinct actors in the threat model as far as where they sit (within which perimeters), not in terms of how they behave . We already have another actor in the threat model that behaves equivalently as far as determ

Limbo and Turso's other tools seem interesting, but the listed limitation of “no multi process database access” is pretty huge. If you don’t need that, then great—Turso/Limbo might be for you! But there are a ton of use cases ou

Individuals can use their roles at companies to make the world better (whatever that means to them). Also, companies are not the only kind of group someone can join (for money or not) with the goal of improving the world.

Good advice. You can also check in and version your crontabs (or timer units or whatnot) directly.

Oh, I read your post backwards (thought you said RSS == more likely fluff). My fault, sorry!

No argument here, that’s a fair and thoughtful response, and you’re not wrong regarding the prejudice against self-hosting (and for what it’s worth I absolutely come from the era where that was the default approach, have done it extensively
