Nice summary. I've been using Ruby both professionally and not for going on 20 years and I just today learned about singleton_class when attempting to build something like Rails' view helpers from first principles.

It's effectively spelled out in the article. The wealth of the last century has been fueled in large part by fossil fuels and it takes an embarrassingly small fraction of that wealth to convince the populace that the competition (I.e.

That's a really interesting setup, thanks for the links! I'm pretty deep into Home Assistant but that plugin looks amazing.

I have a Unifi Protect system and am generally pretty happy with it. The biggest problem I have is similar in spirit to the Ring problem: remote access is required to get push alerts from the mobile app. Unifi had an issue at the end of 202

Sort of. Go packages have the source baked into the package name. It would be like needing to say `require "github.com/sparklemotion/nokogiri"` rather than what we do today, `require "nokogiri"` and then if you

Go, for some values of "distributed". The vast majority of go packages are hosted on GitHub, but nothing stops anyone from hosting elsewhere and Go has explicit support for indirection such that anyone can use a vanity domain that

The only reason someone would need access to the management account would be maintaining child accounts and IAM roles or reviewing logs, none of which should need root.

Retrofitting Go's dependency model into Ruby is not trivial. Go has used full URLs for dependencies from the jump, making a central package repository irrelevant. Ruby doesn't have that. At best you might have a source code URL in

Resetting the root password requires proving access to the email address associated with the root account. It also leaves a massive papertrail.

The problem, as with every package manager, is transitive dependencies. It's all well and good to set up direct dependencies to only pull from git repositories, but bundler still needs a way to resolve those gems' dependencies. Yo

First, sorry for you and your friend. Mental decline is terrifying and I can only imagine how difficult it is to deal with like that. Could you say more about what your friend did differently than you and what makes it so difficult? Are&#x2

This sounds interesting. Could you say more? Do you run BGP on the hosts themselves over the Wireguard tunnels? Do you self-manage a Wireguard mesh?

With no insider knowledge whatsoever I can assure you that they do. Large enterprise shops always have these things cached because why take a hard deploy-time external dependency when you can spin up a rubygems (etc) cache backed entirely b

ugh I meant "does _not_" that's what I get for posting while eating breakfast.

Ultimately the US taxpayers will eat the loss in either case. If the government tried to charge it back to Lockheed Martin they'd just raise the price on subsequent programs to compensate. The government does insure weapons of war. Who

Separation of services is orthogonal to separation of concerns. There's nothing stopping you from having multiple entry points into the same monolith. I.e. web servers run `puma` and workers run `sidekiq` but both are running the same

I was referring to the pod running the kubectl loop. As far as I can tell (I could be wrong! I haven't experimented yet) the script is relying on the primary Mosquitto pod's ready state, which is also what a Service relies on by d

To preface, I'm not a Kubernetes or Mosquitto expert by any means. I'm confused about one point. A k8s Service sends traffic to pods matching the selector that are in "Ready" state, so wouldn't you accomplish HA wit

Sigh that's annoying. Edit: it's not a paywall. It's the standard BSL with a 4 year Apache revert. I personally have zero issue with this.
