It didn't even end there at Twitter. The same engineer at Twitter decided early on that no distributed messaging technology was good enough for Twitter, so they wrote their own. It fell over and they threw it away and…
Context matters. Big announcements and uninformed blog posts can kill your momentum. I still remember the Twitter dev blog where they abandoned Ruby/Rails and the damage that did. It turned out Twitter was doing a lot…
there's plenty of Rust posts to talk about Rust. I come to an OpenBSD post to talk about OpenBSD. Rust isn't even really tangentially related.
> I use Rust for things because it's so specific about what it wants from you and won't let you go off-script, and frankly I find that very beneficial for myself as someone coming from Python, Javascript, PHP, etc.…
I read the comment that they were referring to and it wasn't even constructive conversation in the thread. It was basically a complete derail to backdoor in a conversation about why they think everything should be in…
It's also funny because the statement isn't even controversial and people still get insanely ass-mad about it. Also consumer car buying by ethnicity is tracked data and billions of dollars in investment & marketing are…
I've seen this in just about every online space for 40 years now, but it is particularly bad there. I was deeply involved in several subreddits up until about '09-'10 and it slowly dawned on me just how far off the…
You're proposing a fiction that there is functionally any difference. Migrating a subreddit is a large community effort and rarely if ever happens over just one ban. If you're banned from a subreddit for X, which…
I do this at significant scale and you need a high tolerance for a lot of different negatives to last doing it for governments (and adjacent). The only exception to this rule I would say is AWS GovCloud, which also…

Did ShackTac for a while. I agree but also in so many ways it's not immersive at all. Like all the years the physics were just busted and tanks would flip over and explode because the engine couldn't handle the terrain…
The team is still there. BISim was sold to BAE Systems now and they go by OneArc (onearc.com).
That's a gross misunderstanding of corporate life. _A_ manager boosted it on twitter. It's not an announcement in the sense that companies announce things. You're also assuming that one team knows what the other is…

Nobody playing commander ever made a stink about peoples alters at the table People are trying to rationalize their behavior based on their hurt feelings
The average duration that anyone is actively playing a TCG is something like 2 years. There’s also way more players than ever. Most of the new players never engage in online community around their game. So you may not…
Not only that but not clearing with your management that you're not working on something that is actually being worked on as a product. Definitely they put some manager and/or team in a very uncomfortable position…

I'm in a similar boat and only somewhat agree. The gist of my post was that this exists but maybe just use Kubernetes anyway. I don't entirely agree with your statement about zero-downtime instance replacement though.…
I had a friend who worked for Instagram post-acquisition left and came back to a team in Facebook. They had always sung the praises of Instagram's culture but said they didn't recognize the company that they came back…
Nomad, Consul and Vault all running on VMs that you manage with Terraform. The problem is that when you run this long enough you want K8s features anyway.
