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 can already do that with full awareness…
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, but I find it a much better default pick…
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 am looking for is a few…
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 frequently in various directions for many…
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 strengthen their argument for withdrawing…
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 that ticking the "encrypt at rest" box…
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 with open access.
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 less fortunate from access to important…
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. Ironically, it's often harder to deploy…
Thanks. Maybe I will try that.
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 an open source licence by any…
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 subjected to inappropriate external…
> 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 leave, and stat excited and productive…
Why not release anyway (for transparency) but with explicitly no support?
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 and it was seamless.
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 is portable and can run in any cloud,…
> 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 we're now portable and run in gcp too…
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 write it) Also, AWS is BUILT on open…
The `fmt` packages is described as being for "formatted i/o". It seems that ordered maps, while not "i/o" is reasonable to describe as "formatting", so it's fine to do it in this package I think. `fmt` has always made…
Can you explain more about why you re-wrote? You seem to have said you rewrote from Go because it has poor polymorphism, into C which is equally bad in this regard. If you find some language feature important, surely…
Correctness (and any other kind of change in behaviour) is easier to achieve if things are simple. Changes are not necessarily easy or even possible to make safely if things are correct but not simple. "Simple" is a…
Even with those reasons, I believe the risk outweighs the potential benefits. It's not just about trusting the intentions and assurances of the company, but also their competency and knowing they're not being…
