If people were experiencing significant downtime they’d leave us-east-1 or AWS. There’s no sign of that happening so I’d suggest that there’s a tendency to over-weight the degree to which people complaining in forums constitutes representative data.

Having worked for a company that had a monorepo approach and seeing what happens when it hits its apex of issues I don't think I would ever advocate for one again. I'm sure it works for some companies, but when it goes wrong it can literally destroy an entire company.
Sure. But remember when the API went from

"build something cool with our data!"

to

"build something cool with a limited set of data"

to

"pay us a ton of money for full data"

to

"pay us a ton of money for full data if you meet these internal requirements that assuredly mean we will monitor to make sure you don't compete with us"

to ... well, we'll have to see.
I’m hopeful that, as with most apocalypse-capable technologies, humans will adapt and overcome.

Humans will be different on the other side of this coming wave of simulation indistinguishable from reality, but we’ll be okay.

It’ll suck living through the transition though. Not looking forward to the crap tsunami on the horizon.

But as a species, we’ll adapt and survive as always.

You also get to pay off a real-world lower amount due to inflation. However for many (most? myself included) the reality is that easy credit like this does lead to over extending in the longer term.
Within the gnuplot shell you use `<` at the start of a "filename" like

gnuplot> plot '<pipeline'

It just uses system(3) for "pipeline". So, technically you could have a whole script in there with maybe tricky gnuplot-quoting/escaping of shell stuff.

You do have 2 different history logs this way - the shell one and the plot one while the uplot way is integrated.

If you really want integrated, you could drive gnuplot with temp files, though each shell command-line would probably have to pass a lot of controls. E.g.,

#!/bin/sh
cat > /tmp/dat # should use mktemp -d
cat > /tmp/p.gpi <<-EOF
plot '/tmp/dat' $*
EOF
gnuplot /tmp/p.gpi

and then

$ seq 1 10 | gpl with lines

It is an exercise for the reader (well, it has probably been done N times...) to harden the temp paths, clean up afterward, generalize to source user/maybe per-directory `foo.gpi` setup and so on.

In the unlikely event temp space is actually any sort of issue then you might be able to use mkfifo (I've never tried) or else generate a .gpi script that uses the plot '<string' syntax escaping `string`.

Think about how tedious and time consuming it is to mark up a large amount of copy? Unless we’re talking about little hints here and there (which is also doable) it rapidly becomes more cost effective to just pay for voice talent. For this stuff to be appealing it really must be close to fire and forget.
To solve this properly you need to store the deployed/executed commit id of any service. That could be in the logs, in the a label/annotation of a kubernetes object or somewhere else. But this has nothing to do whether you use a monorepo or multiple smaller repositories. In some projects of me, we use the commit of the source repo as docker tag. And we make sure that the docker image build is as reproducible as possible. I.e. we don't always build with the latest commit of an internal library, but with the one that is mentioned in the dependency manifest of our build tool. Since updating all those internal dependencies is a hassle, that is updated automatically. It means there is an auto-generated merge requests to update a dependency for every downstream project. Therefore all the downstream pipelines can run their test suites before an update gets merged. Once in a while that fails, then a human has to adapt the downstream project to its latest dependencies. In a monorepo that work has to be done as well. But for all downstream projects at once.

Résumé/CV: https://pandacowbat.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/Anwes-Pan...

Email: mail@anwespanda.com

Hello,
I am a budding Linux System Administrator and DevOps looking for a full-time role. I have been working on Linux for the past couple of years and have been hosting my own services on: https://pandacowbat.com using Docker.
Recently, I have also been learning Proxmox and Ceph and have been growingly passionate about them.

I graduated in 2021 with a degree in Computer Science and Engineering, and have professional experience in Oracle Fusion and SQL from my time at Deloitte USI[2021-2022] but I am looking for a change towards technologies I am more passionate about.
What is a "meaningful explanation" of technologies we have not yet created and science we have not yet discovered? In the limit, a work of "hard" "science" fiction ends up like a Star Trek episode scenario before the "tech" bits were filled-in - "Captain, the Tech is overteching. We must tech the tech" [1].

I've read the Expanse btw and it wasn't particularly more "hard" or any less made-up than anything else. I don't remember whether I've read the Mars trilogy.

Funnily enough, a lot of iconic dnd monsters like rust monster and owlbear was Gary gygax buying bags of random plastic toys and giving them statblocks. So they were themselves just statblocks for others copyrighted works.
An alternative may be to use a low code platform like Budibase (I am the cofounder) which is designed to help IT teams build admin panels faster. It ships with its own DB (Couch) which should speed up the process!

it's open source too!

No :D. Good thing we had many products, not all using that system :D

I agree: ORMs as I would traditionally think of them, like Hibernate are very mismatched to SQL databases. In this case, Prisma describes itself as an ORM but it maps more like a KV table description with join conditions (I’m not sure how else to describe it).

I’d still argue it’s semantics are more compatible with DynamoDB though, complementing rather than working against the underlying storage model.
Not sure.

Eg creatures that eat plastic are still news, even if plastic is not their sole diet.
Hi! Are your models english only, or do you plan on tackling other languages?
I think you mean Google vs Oracle for the Java API copyright lawsuit.
>You reformulate it so that one weighs out the other. That would only be the case for projects where you do more work integrating libraries than actual programming.

No, the net gain with typing with static types as compared to without it, would be less than the increase of time spent with integrated libraries, rendering a total net loss.

At which time? We still do surgery in theatres. As recently as 100 years ago, operating theatres were designed like lecture theatres, with rows of seats for the audience.

Netflix' decision-making is much less data-driven than you think, and much more due to the whims of Co-CEO Ted Sarandos. He fired Cindy Holland, the well-regarded head of original programming to replace her with a crony.

To be frank, Netflix went from a leader to the weakest of the streaming services I subscribe to, and I hardly ever watch anything on it any more. If it weren't for my wife and daughterm, I'd have dumped them a long time ago. Amazon Prime and Disnay+ have far more compelling shows.

The Netflix challenge used to be a staple of data-science students, but there's some evidence it had limited predictive power. If so, the massive data the streaming platforms have compared to Hollywood does not give them an edge in finding hits that will keep subscribers from defecting in a recession (contrary to the article, I don't believe breadth and volume of irrelevant content matters, if anything it has negative value because that means more dross I have to scan over to find the rare shows I am actually interested in watching).
Simple. You just make the program print out all the data that will allow you to construct a visualization you want. How to best do it depends on your particular problem and preference.

So, on one side of the map, you have your program, which you can modify to make it print stuff. On the opposite side, you have PlantUML (or GraphViz, or ggplot for plotting charts, etc.). How you connect them to produce the visualization you need is up to you.

For simpler problems, you can do it the way I described in the part you quoted - print diagnostics about an object in a format that's valid PlantUML syntax. For example, as you walk a DAG of objects, do:

print("\"%s\" <-- \"%s\" : \"%s\"\n", self.name, other.name, "Some relation")

You can then literally copy and paste that part of stdout into a file, perhaps decorate it with @startuml and @enduml (or just script it away too), and you'll get your diagram.

For more complex problems, you'll want to print what you can where you can, and have auxiliary script to sort and group that output properly, and then write out a PlantUML diagram.

In the middle sits a technique I found particularly useful. PlantUML itself is a programming language (and probably a Turing-complete one). It has variables. It has functions. It has preprocessor macros. You can prepare yourself a small DSL in PlantUML, so that you can meet your program in the middle - whether it's because you want to keep your output more readable, or because it would be too invasive to modify a program to print things the way PlantUML wants them.

Don't know what else to say here. The idea itself is not something particularly brilliant, or difficult.
Writing?! Surely not...
Moral aside of shooting mates' wedding and charging for it(!), but as soon as you use equipment to earn it's a business/side gig. You may not like it but I'm sure tax authorities of any sane country will disagree with you.

For the rest I actually agree with you and think credit system is predatory and that if one can, one should take advantage of it. Just that buying something on credit because want, and using that something to earn money are two fundamentally different cases.
Only binary. Ultimately I would like to sell it, but just looking for feedback at the moment.

I don't think you understand how this stuff works in reality at the moment.

Perhaps the system could be changed to be more like how you imagine it should work, or would prefer that it would work.

But not understanding how it does work and jumping off from there on the discussion means that folks end up talking past each other, rather than actually communicating.

I would think more about a percentage of the company based on your role and the stage of the company.

Trying to translate 1-10x your salary to equity depends on too many factors.

Talking it over in terms of percentage you'll probably get a bigger piece of the pie.

Keep in mind you're buying a lottery ticket with your reduction in salary.

Think about things like your equity vesting quarterly and over what time period.

Also at what point would your salary go back up to market rate.

Usually equity is to compensate early employees for taking less salary initially, extra effort and expertise, and risking that the startup will fail.

There should be a plan to get you back up to market rate when you are profitable or more profitable.

People who make such absolute claims are in my experience causing more trouble than they're worth. They will always nit-pick on anything anyone is saying causing a toxic atmosphere.
Frequently a little later I then figured out that such people think like that because they haven't seen enough of the world and the gigantic amount of options you have to solve your technical problems.
Thanks for the thoughtful reply.

Most of what you cite here isn't dependent on the single-menu design, however. Application startup time, the way things are listed in Alt-Tab galleries, "background agents..." Valid beefs, perhaps, but none is related to the single-menu issue.

"I like the single menu bar; every app has one, and it's always in the same place, and it's always the foremost app's"

That's simply not true. I can have one application on my Mac screen, Safari, and yet the menu belongs to Mail. That's just dumb.

You do correctly call out one of the (sadly plentiful) regressions in Windows: the sudden deletion of the standard menu from many applications' window frames. It was just as "findable" as the Mac's for most of Windows's existence, but now it's just often... missing. WTF? The Office UI is an absolute shitshow, and the rest of Windows has been circling the drain for years.

Therefore no, I don't think the Mac should be a copy of Windows. I just hate the single-menu design and the pervasive UI clumsiness that has emanated from it. Any mode of operation it offers can also be offered by any other windowing GUI, minus of course the glued-in-place single menu... actually, you can mimic even that by maximizing your applications and Alt-Tabbing between them.

So when someone claims that they were raped and you’re not sure whether they’re telling the truth, your first instinct is to raise a ton of questions on the veracity of the claim of rape like you’re some court who’s in a position to try? You really think that that’s normal? And how could malice not be interpreted from the way the questions were raised when they only question the veracity of the claims of the prisoner?
But aren't micro-service specifically designed to be able to split responsibility of a large system between multiple teams. If everybody debugs and fixes bugs across the whole landscape, than everybody has to be familiar with everything, which means you are loosing the benefits. Occasionally, it might be helpful to debug the whole stack at once. But I wouldn't trust a landscape where that is needed too often. I might be that the chosen abstractions don't fit well.
Most of these issues are not technical so I stand by my assessment.

Twitter is a shitshow technically. Sub-tweets don't nest right and change order in a arbitrary way.
A lot of things survive on inertia alone. Covid created a break in the routine, and now the new inertia is streaming. With large-screen TVs commonplace, the cinema doesn't necessarily offer a better experience any more, and there is still lingering concern about Covid and its new variants, plus the unsustainable trend of ever-rising ticket prices.
The interface (GUI) is OK (and looks better than mine honestly), but the usability isn't great. The query syntax is tough to grok IMO. Using the sample dataset it took myself and a friend who knew Kibana like 5 minutes to figure out how to make a pie chart of the various OS types. It's probably that we're just dense and don't know what we're doing, but with log-store you just click the pie chart icon next to the field, and it will update the query and render the chart. I think that's easier to use.
The non-X line just obsoleted the X line due to PBO, as long as they're priced lower.

I think the one clean SQL bolted onto NoSQL that I've seen is spark. Since spark treats the NoSQL as having a structure that matches the underlying database, but it also runs an SQL layer, it's kind of an interesting way to do it. Now that's also up to the spark "driver" like for mongodb - the driver code has to tell mongo to give it some "shape" for the collection otherwise spark can't work with it. Now it's likely to have a shape, but the driver may skip a random column if it's not present enough.
In a society that lays out a strict life order sequence and encourages people to have kids in their 20s—such as in the subcontinent, or the US in decades past, or in the US today outside metro areas—your social circle doesn’t change dramatically. You naturally transition to parenthood with your existing circles (friends, cousins) around the same time.q

You can see how this would be a disincentive to have kids. People obviously like their friends, and being the first one who has to drag a baby to boozy brunch is no fun. That’s why scolding and shaming from moms and aunties is critical to breaking the collective action problem.
If you need admin tools, you need authority. The best way to design products is if they are not centralized or distributed but instead decentralized.

This is incredibly hard to do, and nearly impossible to scale, but we need to go there.

In the short term one can look at Mastodon, which decentralizes the authority. It's messy but it sort of works.
Just stick appsmith, budibase or any of the other low code admin interfaces in front of your database.
