True, but a rounding error compared to the HashiCorp bill...

A good alternative is to just run your Terraform yourself in Github Actions or Gitlab CD, and host your state in S3. We are using open-source Terramate to orchestrate Terraform, an…

5s for Docker containers vs 20ms now ... holy moly, this is fast

Otel is indeed quite complex. And the docs are not meant for quick wins... Otelbin [0] has helped me quite a bit in configuring and making sense of it, and getting stuff done. [0]:…

The lessons from Ukraine war: - "zerg" cheap mass produced unit approach is superior to "protoss" expensive but few units - if you have expensive kit, better hide it in a drone/mid…

This looks amazing. 1- Is there an option to run your own "kraftcloud" in your own cloud account? 2- How does this compare to companies leveraging eBPF to squeeze more performance …

This is surprisingly elegant and simple... whish I had found Mirascope like three month earlier. On the repo roadmap section I am seeing RAG support coming up, this would be extra …

Hi William, super nice tech. Alas, I am suffering from lack of imagination, can you give some example use cases where this tech would really shine?

- team are scientists from the Wendelsten 7-X stellarator plasma physics experiement - want to innovate on the two most impactful learnings from the experiment towards commercial f…

Researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Plasma Physics (IPP) have found a way to significantly reduce the distance between plasma and divertor by modelling the X-point radiator…

This was a plasma physics experiment to prove continous operation. Apparently going from 8 min to much larger timespans is less of a leap now. Next stop in research: divertor desig…

> It's just a "weapon" by the EU to attack any company they want. I'm pretty much sure if I made a hello world program in C, they'd find a clever way of fining me. Not so. Your hel…

I see collaboration software primarily in the context of work in a company. Self hosting OS is something I rarely see, as focus on your own product renders such endeavours a distra…

The main impediment to companies adopting entity resolution tech is the incentive structure. Companies want to show growing user numbers, transactions, leads, order, etc. Alas if y…

The bigger question is why it has come to that, that door #1 is such a joke. Is competition not supposed to drive down the bargaining power of the investment banks in terms of fees…

Aah, the quip on the road network typeface... some highlights > The narrower a typeface gets, the less legible it becomes. We do also know that we have long words in Austria, like …

Why of course they do this. This is meant to boost market share and scare the tech-illiterate into using Chrome. And it works. Unsupported browser is a bit of a joke anyways in tim…

First they came for the developer ecosystem, but I did not speak up, as I was just a publisher. Then... Wanna be in control of "your" blog? Run your own software on your own server…

The International Astronomical Union defined a planet [0] as an object that: (a) orbits the sun, (b) has sufficient mass to be round, or nearly round, (c) is not a satellite (moon)…

Mox fuel based nuclear reactors never really took off. Thus producing mox fuel by reprocessing used nuclear fuel rods never turned out to address a big market. Cleaning this up is …

Unfortunately overly simplistic. The challenge with higher plasma temperatures is that the internal shielding needs to be better than the current graphite tiles. They will upgrade …
