I had the pleasure of interacting with Om a couple of times. Certain people in this world, you can tell that they are incredibly genuine, with no artifice. That was him 100%. He will be missed.
TBH, it makes sense for large incumbents to sell out science on the altar of politics because they are now will profit more from rent seeking than from innovation.
Re:I Ditched Docker for Podman (and You Should Too) on Friday September 05, 2025 @01:43PM (#45141351)
Were there any missing/worse functional capabilities that drove you over to Podman/alternatives? Or just the licensing / pricing?
Feature request -- allow users to add RSS feeds of blogs they want to follow, allow filtering by date
For some stupid reason, in all browsers it is an insane chore to add an em dash to any document or email. So much so that news hacker Dan Sinker built this.
NATS is open source and CNCF. Redpanda is more a SaaS -- if it goes away, so does your app.
Nice to see a relatively simple option to spinning up K8S in the cloud.
Re:Hands on with Linkerd 2.0 on Thursday September 20, 2018 @04:58PM (#18035406)
Right - meaning live configured Grafana dashboards, TLS up and running, etc - beyond just console stuff.

The post is long but it was really written from the POV of an infrastructure owner (DevOps) and not from the POV of a service owner/developer which is actually the target for Linkerd 2.0. FWIW - the post says it takes 5 mins to install Istio. I find that very, very hard to believe.

I'm a big fan of using this type of visualization to add an extra dimension in a digestible way. Adding the third dimension is always the toughest one.
Just what we need! Another Cryptocurrency!

Re:Use Google Spreadsheets as a CMS on Monday June 30, 2014 @02:14PM (#7966576)
This is pretty cool. You can do something fairly similar with www.silk.co except it acts more like an online database and less like a static site. Basically, CSV to Website conversion where each page acts like a row on a DB. (Full disclosure - I work for Silk).
Re:Migrating From AWS to FB on Friday June 27, 2014 @01:56PM (#7955321)
GET Requests are cheap But I was thinking of bandwidth costs to get things out of S3 entirely and do a complete outmigration. But the prices there have come down quite a bit since I last checked.
Re:Migrating From AWS to FB on Friday June 27, 2014 @02:23AM (#7952926)
