Re:US Passport Power Falls to Historic Low on Wednesday October 15, 2025 @03:41PM (#45597413)
The top list would be all EU countries since not only they can travel almost anywhere, but they have the right to live and work in 20+ other rich countries.
I'm also in the camp that stopped using Pulumi, in part because despite the lack of state file it feels even more sluggish than tf.
How does this compare with Pulumi? AFAIK they also don't have a state file and relay on an external database to store state. Is your locking granularity better?

TextMate is the first software I bought as a high school student. At the time it was _the_ code editor for anyone doing RoR.
If you're willing to pay out of pocket (~100 euro or so) that service is available in western europe too.

You can use Talos linux for an immutable (and tiny) OS.

kubectl-node-shell is also pretty good to do that automatically.

Re:How we migrated onto K8s in less than 12 months on Friday August 09, 2024 @05:11AM (#41200122)
I'm seeing a lot of custom operators written in Rust nowadays. Obviously biased because I do a lot of rust myself so people I'm talking to also do rust.
Re:How we migrated onto K8s in less than 12 months on Friday August 09, 2024 @05:07AM (#41200098)
I think you're just used to AWS services and don't see the complexity there. I tried running some stateful services on ECS once and it took me hours to have something _not_ working. In Kubernetes it takes me literally minutes to achieve the same task (+ automatic chart updates with renovatebot).
Re:Silicon Valley's best kept secret: Founder liquidity on Wednesday June 12, 2024 @04:22AM (#40655804)
A lot of people (esp people that performed extremely well in school and in corporate environment) find "failing" and "losing reputation" very stressful.
I love how the EU introducing privacy laws and fining american companies when they break said laws is bad and the EU is overstepping their boundaries, but the US forcing the sale of a foreign company is totally cool.
Why would you want to live in a country that bans apps like dictatorships do? I'd rather live in a free country.

If you run their service locally it displays the connected account and you can interact with the app.
Re:Tailwind CSS marketing and misinformation engine on Sunday February 18, 2024 @04:03AM (#39417446)
You can still name things in Tailwind + React (create a new component or variant), what changes is that if I need to add a 10px margin on the right I don't have to create a new component (like when using styled components), I simply override `className` and move on.
They mention metadata in the article. Imagine sending a message to a Signal account at time X, then asking Apple a list of all users that received a Signal notification at that specific time.
Re:Nix Survival Mode: macOS upgrades won't break Nix anymore on Thursday October 26, 2023 @06:29AM (#38023812)
If you start vscode with `code .` after entering the nix shell it will work in most cases.
Trenitalia has to make money since it's partly a private company.
Roads still exists, but they're only used in emergencies or by people with special permits (e.g. disabled). Walkable communities are more dense and with less traffic, so emergency vehicles can reach destination faster in most cases.
Re:FTX โ€“ The Fraud Was in the Code on Tuesday October 10, 2023 @07:51AM (#37830922)
Aave cannot fake its risk parameters because it's fully on chain and anyone can check them.

Crypto scams are always off chain (like FTX and many more) or have smart contracts that can be upgraded by anyone (but again, anyone can check that the contracts can be upgrade and by whom).

In my experience (sticking to base services like vm, k8s and blob storage) they are more reliable than GCP and less confusing than AWS. They're managed offering is bad, but I don't touch managed services anymore after getting burned by them several times.

Re:How FoundationDB works and why it works on Monday September 18, 2023 @04:05AM (#37553539)
How do people deploy FDB to the cloud? Is it possible to deploy it without EBS to take advantage of cheaper VM temporary storage?
Re:We built the fastest CI in the world and it failed on Tuesday September 12, 2023 @04:50PM (#37488083)
Buildkite encourages that, even plugins are just a bunch of bash scripts that are sourced at specific steps of the build.
Re:Death by a Thousand Microservices on Tuesday September 12, 2023 @04:51AM (#37478356)
We use mirrord together with a staging environment to run specific services without the need to bring up the rest of the stack locally (we have ~5 services so it wouldn't even be an issue).
Because they can buy western-made aircraft engines for a fraction of the price it would cost to develop one domestically.
Re:Writing a Package Manager on Wednesday August 23, 2023 @07:43AM (#37234392)
In theory nix can solve that, in practice is more ergonomic to leverage a language's native package manager even in nix.
Re:Wayland on NixOS: Confusion, Conquest, Triumph on Sunday July 02, 2023 @10:03AM (#36561579)
In that case NixOS rebuild will fail telling you exactly what to do. This is better than upgrading MacOS, where a system upgrade may break tools installed with homebrew and there is no way of knowing until _after_ the upgrade.
Re:Wayland on NixOS: Confusion, Conquest, Triumph on Sunday July 02, 2023 @10:01AM (#36561560)
With NixOS someone else has written that script and now I can use a DSL to configure my desktop
Re:How is Apache APISIX Fast? on Tuesday June 13, 2023 @03:22PM (#36315525)
Apisix. Envoy is so hard that there's entire suites of products (ambassador, gloo, etc) just to make it easier to configure.
