I tend to do this whenever I am a beginner in a certain framework/language and I am mostly learning from examples without understanding the code deeply.

That phase is over sooner or later, but the code produced in the meantime tends to survive even in production for longer than that. Including the occassional cargo cult shrines.
Seems to be up and running fine. Gitea seems to be quite robust and reliable! I hope you have regular backups, I had a number of unfortunate IO corruptions with the PIs.

Thanks for the open sourcing
I might be wrong here but I think Puppet DB is more like an eventually consistent database that stores the last known state of potentially thousands of machines that may not be reachable or even turned on. The use case is totally different. Puppet runs on each machine "in isolation", and before Puppet DB, the agent had no way to know about anything external to the local machine. It can be used while assembling the manifest that gets passed to a machine, but when the puppet agent actually runs on that machine it doesn't ask Puppet DB what state the local machine is in, it just looks directly at the resources because they're local - there's no performance penalty.
Spacex and Starlink are so far ahead of their “competitors” because Elon is solely focused on what they need to be. He’s never trying to one-up anyone else. Companies who are, are perpetually playing catch-up
The beautiful thing is there is a built into Scrum solution to this.

You alter estimation.

The fact story points are made up BS numbers means developers have full control over the velocity chart.

My favorite part of Scrum is it makes it IMPOSSIBLE to track velocity.

By making velocity IMPOSSIBLE to track, management MUST pivot to OKR lead management.

And OKR lead management is by far the best approach to software development.

Got it, makes sense. I think we are pursuing similar strategies with OSS/self-hostable products. I would love to get in touch with you about it. Could you drop me an email at ruben@windmill.dev ?
In my experience, XPath selectors are easier to write but usually result in selectors that are less robust to DOM changes. It is possible to write reliable XPath selectors as well, but I often see XPath selectors breaking because of implicit assumptions about the DOM structure. I don't see this as often for CSS selectors since they encourage you to make more explicit assumptions.

This is in the context of test automation of modern web apps with a virtual DOM. I'm sure things might be different in other areas.
They have a place and time, when doing drivers and low level kernel stuff, configuring DMA buffers, for everything else, there have been better alternatives since Xerox PARC showed how a graphical workstation is supposed to be like.

There are some non-mainstream ones though that provide genuine innovations while not allowing its creators any financial rewards (the latter can itself be seen as an innovation).
I'm a bit curious of using `shared_ptr` for all allocated objects, wouldn't it be a bit like using `Arc` with every allocated object in Rust? This means in a tight loop the atomic counter becomes the bottleneck. How is C++ getting around this problem?

In Rust I try to avoid `Arc` if I really don't need it due to its behavior that is hard to track in certain situations. I use it to share items over thread boundaries by value, that's it.
I once heard some rich youtubers say - "giving feels so good it almost feels selfish" which I kind agree with, especially once you have your needs covered (most of HN).
Seconded. GitHub's social features are undeniable (why distribute a VCS if not to make it more social?), but I'm curious about the toxicity.
WAGMI ( https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=wagmi ) is a popular rallying cry in the crypto circles. XYZ coin is headed to the moon, and buying in today is like buying into bitcoin in 2009.

Some startups are still requiring weird whiteboard questions sadly. Interviewed for a role recently and was asked to navigate a maze of obstacles and teleports with possible infinite loops, saying the minimum number of steps to leave the maze if it’s possible.

I've encountered almost zero agile manifesto teams in my time for back-end software.

For 95% of projects, getting non-technical customers & stakeholders to read the manifesto and come demo software fortnightly, in person is impossible.

At best we get an intern or underling.

Interestingly, if the GUI was changed, they usually come racing.
But IRC is also looking back on three decades of completely separate networks without even the tiniest bridge and the number of networks that have grown big enough that users forget that other irc networks exist has been been increasing ever since. Yes, they do share roughly the same protocol, yes, clients can be connected to more than one of the networks at the same time, yes, most (all?) of the big networks are federated within themselves on the server side. IRC itself is an example of existing side by side.
finance was just a example. replace it with the stakeholder, the PM of another team or an external partner.

> In sprint demos, I make sure my team members do not bring up any tech jargon

thats exactly what i mean. the audience does not care about the tech, they care that their problems are solved and money is made.
Are you saying it should?

I think whether that's desirable or not is a matter of preference. The nice thing about Terraform is that you don't have to go all in. I don't really want to have to tell it to ignore every resource that I want to manually manage, and I don't want it wasting the extra API calls on trying to find every resource that's not in my configuration every time I want to deploy.

Now, if they provided a separate tool for detecting manually created resources, that would be awesome, but it wouldn't fit into the typical flow of showing drift regularly just before deploying in my opinion. That's more about detecting whether you're about to overwrite something that was manually done, or if you're about to make changes assuming your infrastructure is as you last left it. I don't need to take inventory of every single resource I have every time before deploying.
Disagree.

After retrospectives we've always had a pretty good idea of what our problems are.

Motivation to fix those issues is a different story. Scrum can't solve for lacking motivation.
Absolutely. Well, first "let me issue a vague rejection and force a slight amendment to show due diligence, then issue an allowance on the amended claims". And then let the courts sort it out, as you said.
Yes, you will never run out of storage with Neon. The reason to it that in our tiered storage implementation S3 is the cheapest tier and we will offload data into S3 if it gets too big.
How “cheap” is it to create new db instances?

I can imagine a world where it might be practical to have one master db for all of your customers/accounts. But a separate db instance for each customer’s data.

Is that the kind of architecture you think might be workable with your system?

It is very unlikely that this story is anything more than a fanciful tale: The dedicatee of the piece is unknown; the work was found in papers long after Beethoven's death and was unknown before that. So, the prospect of there being someone who was told the story and wrote it down, even though it's recorded nowhere is close to nil. See the Wikipedia article for more details.
There's a WSJ piece here https://www.wsj.com/articles/terrausd-crash-led-to-vanished-... which talks to a couple of the affected investors.

From the article it seems that people got persuaded by the seeming respectability combined with the promise of great returns. One of the people they spoke to invested via Stablegains.

They also mention how people had taken online investment courses which led to them getting into crypto trading.
Terraform has to have state, for the reasons outlined by other commenters.

But, it is undoubtedly a pain in the arse in practice - invariably someone else is doing a change on a branch but has already applied it to the development infra using the shared state bucket, which then pollutes it for everyone else as you don't have those changes so your applys will now want to undo them.

As a first timer with this stuff, I think a key lesson learned is to balkanise your terraform quite heavily - we have a tfstate per environment but that is nowhere near granular enough, slicing it into smaller pieces would obviate many of those 'pollution' problems.
That's nowhere near accurate unless you're

1. Working in the bay area for one of the big tech companies

2. Working for an overvalued startup (which given the turmoil of the current stock market is not a very stable shot).

For reference as an entry level software engineer I started my career at 75k a year in a sector that's known for being very lucrative. This was in a fairly low to average CoL area and while you could scale to 120k+, that comes at around double the rent and general costs.

So 'why do you think you'll never own a home' is an incredibly loaded question, don't you think?
My favorite fact about the sheet bend is that it's essentially the same knot as the bowline knot [1].

I don't believe it misses the article's point - I think he's asking the valid question "if the target system has the ability to to store all the required state in order to understand mappings between what I want and what I have, why do we need additional state files which always seem to be wrong"

And a good answer might be "all providers don't have that capability" and/or "providers can't efficiently answer questions about that, such as 'find me all things with this configuration tag'.

In your example, those two users wouldn't have the same tags, because you'd arrange it so that they didn't - either by user or a resource grouping based on the configuration itself. This is the choice made by some other tooling, for better or worse.
Fascistic forces rise up when workers and hardliners like communists get active during times of inequality in order to protect capital from revolution.

I assume that, realistically, the JS is verified by outside experts (and not by the user), and that a check on the user's part would simply be comparing a calculated hash to a given one.

I understand that this might not be how things are really done at PM (i.e. do they provide a hash? probably not) so my arguments may be hypothetical, but it doesn't render them invalid in the larger context imo.
Does this storage layer still require VACUUMing? The Aurora system that AWS has uses a log based storage system, so along with point in time restore there’s no longer a need to go free up old garbage rows. This system says it’s copy on write, wondering if vacuuming is still necessary.

Given that there are well over 100 comments in this thread it’s possible that someone already mentioned this, but for people who are short-staffed but highly adventurous NixOS has an interesting take on all this. There’s even a Terraform binding called Terranix that isn’t too bad.

I always felt overhead lights are tiring, and I almost never turned them on since I left for college and had my own place.

In the last 7 years I experimented with everything: ambiental LED strips/string, IKEA Tradfri bulbs, 150W LED COBs, desk lamps, hidden source of light, TV/monitor ambilight.

In the end I settled for very little lighting, created with ESPHome [1], and controlled through my Volum app [2], part of which can be seen in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nzz-xrEon7g

1. An RGBW monitor ambient light (bright enough to light up the entire room when I need it)
2. A battery powered string light which I take everywhere with me so I don't have to use overhead lights in Airbnb's/hotels etc.
3. Long, warm and dim string lights for hallway, bedroom and balcony

Those conversations still happen, under those posts. They might even happen more often now. I also vastly prefer those.

I'm on here a bunch and I don't see what you mean with the ad hominems. Why guess at peoples motives anyways? Even if they are indeed just jealous, I'm not sure skepticism becomes invalidated when a bad motive is established. "You almost had me convinced I was wrong but then I realized you were simply jealous." Surely we live in a world where lots of good and true things can be attributed to shit motives. That also applies to skepticism.

Cool and now let EU regulation learn from this that you can have interoperability with encryption
That approach wouldn't work if your infrastructure is spread between multiple Terraform workspaces. (as is often done).
Right now, nothing is practically "better" than systemd, but replacing init and figuring out all the different decoupled services that make a non-systemd system provide anywhere near the same featureset (and need to be installed separately) is a very interesting exercise on its own, that will teach you why the different bits are important and a bit of linux history.

You can replace the init system on just about any linux distro with a bunch of handwritten shell scripts, slackware style, or use any of OpenRC or s6 to provide you with a framework to make it easier, OR, you can use a preconfigured distribution, of which I'd recommend Artix, Alpine, Void or Slackware, and reading into their respective source code.

At the end of the day, an init is an init. You don't need a lot of the features systemd provides as a home user, though they don't actively hurt to have either.

In this context I would like to point to the free edx Harvard course series "First Nights", which introduces some important pieces of classical music and the context around their first public performance.
