I love 1940s/1950s instruction videos. Here’s one from Hamilton that shows how they work that I really like. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rL0_vOw6eCc

They have a bunch of differences under the hood, particularly when you want to give perms. It makes sense, sort of, on its face, that a user can’t have teams, but why? That decisio…

The Cue integrated Kubernetes project I'm most excited about is KubeVela[0]. Effectively, you can create an "operator" for just the YAML bits to narrow your Kubernetes API and prov…

My initial misread was about classroom sizes, and I came to the same conclusion before I thought "huh, that's... not how you reference classroom size".

I use Docker Compose for integration testing against DBs in CI, and even for that, have to go through gymnastics working around not having k8s things.

"Yesterday morning" and "tomorrow morning" is my favorite example. Several previous Indian coworkers of mine would say "today morning", which always made me smile a bit. It's not a…

Ooooh that didn't used to be true, from what I saw! Happy that changed. I can clean up a bunch of images on my side.

DateTime was added in Elixir 1.8.0. Timex filled a vacuum for a long time, and still has a few nice convenience functions. In new codebases, I of course drop Timex, but it was very…

Only issue here is that they don't do subpatch versions. We needed Erlang 22.3.4.1 for something, so had to build by hand.

It had them. But if you did a System.get_env inside the config.exs/dev.exs/prod.exs etc it would be at compile time. Various patterns arose to do that at runtime, by using things l…

When entering the camps, they made sure to document well, because they knew no one could possibly believe the extent of the atrocities without seeing themselves.

Feel free, but it's a bad hill. I can write my own config management, secret management, volume mounting, deployments, replica scaling, hardware affinity, antiaffinity for resilien…

There's a really good book describing this phenomenon called Behind Human Error. It speaks of "first stories" and "second stories" and how in analysis of incidents, it is all too c…

The power of a notary is that someone is legally verifying the state of the document under penalty of perjury. In this case, you don't trust the party doing the verification, by de…

Removing them after adding to a project is still a 6-7 step process (unless this has changed and I missed it), which makes them feel clunky to use, to me.

I agree with you and find myself in a similar situation and mindspace re: time boxing. I found having a KVM switch to have to actually "go to work" and "go to personal" was a good …

Reflections on trusting rust.

Trading firms have many positions available other than the HFT algorithms. There are teams that support those to enable desks (read: startups) to get off the ground quickly (like Y…

I'm of the opinion no one should be writing new IDEs anymore for languages and should instead be writing good language servers for the language server protocol (and it's debugging …
