We always called these "four-phase migrations". An old Stripe article used similar naming[0]. [0]: https://stripe.com/blog/online-migrations

This video is a great overview of the history and the recent hearings, came here to link it. Not sure I agree with his conclusion though - once all manufacturers are required to in…

At the risk of making a classic "I have a few qualms with this app" blunder, I'm not super clear on what this has over other durable workflow solutions. It seems to take the durabl…

> The community that formed around building open source “standard” Macaroons decided to use untyped opaque blobs to represent candidates. I assume "candidates" was supposed to be "…

To be fair, this is a mistake that started with the Google paper, and everyone else just copies the mistake. The paper calls them Macaroons as a play on (browser) Cookies with laye…

This is interesting, I have the opposite opinion. I dislike helm for public distribution, because everyone wants _their_ thing templated, so you end up making every field of your c…

Also a happy Lutron fan, but I went with RadioRA2. It's a bit "smarter" but it's very reliable, not connected to the internet, and some basics can even be programmed without the ma…

Quality aside, it's the paywall that grinds my gears. Wirecutter articles are essentially long, well-researched ads for the products they (affiliate) link to. I always found these …

The article was comparing OPA/Cedar to Zanzibar, which is why my head went there. I did go looking for info on how OPAL deals with caching and consistency and found these: - Authz …

I've seen the sentiment in this article pop up in a few places, which I'd summarize as: Policy languages like OPA and Cedar are fast to evaluate and simple to write, so you should …

Longer than that; I remember being warned about plasticizers leaching into food if microwaved. Found this paper from 1982: https://www.jstor.org/stable/44540143

We're saving some of that for a future blog post - we tested many different configurations and scales (of both SpiceDB and CRDB)

Do you just mean comedic quality or do you mean production quality as well? Some that I've listened to are good on both fronts (in my opinion): Mission To Zyxx, Dungeons and Daddie…

I looked at both and came away thinking mage was more convenient for go-only projects. Just looked good and I would probably pick it for something that wasn't go-only (if make didn…

> Couldn't you have achieved this even more simply by using make with a go shell? Make is still really about file to file transformations, and `go` already wraps up all of the beha…

I have long held similar opinions on make, and I've recently started using mage[0] in more and more go projects and have been happy with the result. It's more task-oriented, the wa…

There's a good interview with the author in an episode of The Manifest: https://manifest.fm/11 It's been a while since I've listened, but I remember it being pretty interesting.

I don't think it's quite as bad as you're suggesting. Operators are control-plane, your other examples are data-plane. You can also only run one Deployment controller in a kube clu…

I get the sentiment. We held off on building an operator until we felt there was actually value in doing so (for the most part, Deployments cover the operational needs pretty well)…

This is a common frustration of mine as well! In the latest release of the spicedb-operator[0], I added a feature that allows users to specify arbitrary patches over operator-manag…

I saw your comment, enabled Markdown in a Google Doc, tried to write a code block, became immediately frustrated. Looks like it only supports bold/italic, links, and headers.

That makes more sense, thank you for the explanation. Are there any plans for accord to permit snapshot queries?
