I wonder how this compares to tau https://tau-agent.dev/ ? Both are in Rust and both mention Unix in their descriptions.

I've always thought that Nagle's algorithm is putting policy in the kernel where it doesn't really belong. If userspace applications want to make latency/throughput tradeoffs they …

I spent around 15 years doing Java exclusively, and after discovering Go (around 2012) I couldn't wait to adopt it and have never looked back since. I don't think Go is perfect, bu…

The title says "open source", but the license says otherwise.

I agree about the discussion / issues aspects. I suspect doing that interoperably would be hard or impossible because of the vastly different feature sets on different hosts. All I…

I just interpret this whole thing as "developer realises their preferred set of trade-offs matches host A more than host B, so they are switching hosts". This happens fairly freque…

The UK government almost seem to be deliberately passing multiple pieces of legislation that they know will be overturned due to ECHR, because they believe such rulings would stren…

I think "scam" is a bit strong. It maybe offers less value in some scenarios that people assume, so perhaps offers a false sense of security. People have been saying for many years…

For some newspapers it _is_ working, so clearly it can work. If some newspapers haven't figured out how to make open access work, but that's a problem with those newspapers, not wi…

Although I am fortunate enough to be able to afford to subscribe to almost anything I might want to read, I don't like the idea of paywalls in general. I believe they exclude the l…

Everything about this screams satire, except it just doesn't have the typical humour element (to me at least), so I'm not even sure now.

Thanks for your reply. Yes, I was talking about deploying to our existing cluster. Pretty much the only requirement for software that we run is that it must run in our cluster. Iro…

Thanks. Maybe I will try that.

I really like that there is a focus on being able to deploy in k8s. Nice work! However, some teams (ours) already run their own k8s clusters and would probably want to deploy gitla…

This looks great, and I look forward to finding time to try it soon. However, I believe it's misleading to call it "open source". The SPPL license is not generally considered to be…

I disagree that encryption is political. Fundamentally, it's a privacy and security mechanism and on its own it's no more political than locks, safes, paper shredders or curtains. …

I always hear people warn about these things, but haven't seen it in practice at all, as long as those who write the systems are also responsible for operating them and not subject…

> provides little concrete value to the business The concrete value doing such things add to our business is happy staff (which you mentioned), which means the best people don't le…

There are plenty of companies who have released their source code but don't support it in the same way a typical community driven project like other open source projects do. This i…

Why not release anyway (for transparency) but with explicitly no support?

> And Azure is backed by Microsoft, GCP is backed by Google, so if "Bezos loses his mind" there will be other alternatives besides Kubernetes. You missed the point that moving from…

Running k8s in AWS (and gcp, and on-prem) is exactly what we do and we're really happy with it and have avoided lock-in. We recently moved a bunch of k8s-in-AWS hosted stuff to gcp…

Can you elaborate? I disagree with you and I have been using both (as well as gcp) in production for years. They are both platforms that you write an application stack against. One…

> what can k8s do to AWS SaaSes (e.g. RDS, SNS, etc...)? k8s has allowed us to not use RDS any more because we now host PostgreSQL inside k8s instead. It's a bit more overhead, but…

Its 2019 and people still confuse the different kinds of "free" when talking about open source software. (Also, yes, I open source as much of my work as possible, and I'm paid to w…
