Think less about 'ported javascript to lua' and more 'ported a modern web frontend to be used for a modern game frontend.' Keep in mind Roblox supports a large combination of operating systems, consoles, phones, and phone-like devices.

To counterpoint this with 'not for thee, but for me.' If you are spending > $1m/yr with AWS this will never happen. The decisions need to go through a TAM who will block this kind of thing.

For smaller users I can imagine this sort of thing happens pretty regularly with every cloud, even smaller ones.

Please reply if you had a TAM and were spending that much! I'd be personally interested to hear that was the case.

Serf is used within Consul for agent to agent checks (and some communication). There's an entire subsystem called the 'serf check' that shows up within every single Consul agent. It's one component of the entire 'Consul' system.

Nomad has a remarkably strong community for it's size. I'm almost positive it will continue to live in some format, even if completely hard-forked.

I know if nobody else does anything I will do something myself, personally.

I love Kubernetes, however I feel like things like Nomad and Mesos have a space to exist in as well. Nomad especially holds a special place in my tech-heart. :)

Yes. This scalping community is gross. It's not about collecting it's about scalping, let's all be blunt and clear here.

If someone is excited about sharing something that's completing some part of their collection I think everyone is totally fine with that, it's something they're passionate about!

If it's "I found this thing for cheap and I'm going to charge someone hundreds of dollars because they have no other choice," then do it in something other than a hobby space; don't brag about that. Bragging about scalping makes you an asshole.

Emulation enables hobbyists to play games they otherwise can't find -- or much more commonly, can't afford.

You can do this really easily today with cdktf, I'd imagine there's some interop with opentofu there that's possible?

I wrote a Tampermonkey script which more or less was a true 'automate someone out of a job' situation, except it didn't do that at all; it freed up 20+ hours a week that someone had to sit there and do this awful manual thing with vendor portals, csv's, and spreadsheets.

I haven't worked at that job for almost a decade, and last I heard it's continued being used with only a small amount of maintenance.

That's the most compliments I've ever gotten for any software I've ever written and it had very real human impact.

Try Pop_OS. I had a lot of issues with Ubuntu as a daily driver, however Pop seems to have cracked the code.

Fedora has also worked OK for me in the past.

Actual Unix. I believe it is in the Solaris family.

As someone who just got the OLED Steam Deck the spark is not gone!! Valve is still the same company, they’re just succeeding in very different ways.

I think this is the benefit of not being a public company. They’ve pivoted over and over and over. They’re still in the same space (video games) and the breadth of the areas they’re in are immense!

8hr sounds accurate. There’s a wattage slider and you can only set it so low. You might be able to get more out of using the desktop and forcing some idle modes, however it’s impressive enough as is at a few watts and many hours on a portable Linux machine occupying less total space than a 13” laptop.

You're being downvoted. I disagree with that vote, as I cannot tell if this is serious or sarcasm and that makes it an excellent comment.

Not related to tech at all; tina.io brings me joy with it's marketing. It's all a direct reference to Napoleon Dynamite which still makes me smile when I think about it.

I will be trying it out solely based on this first impression. :)

i'm using this all over our production environment and it's very nice.

Apple Arcade allows these types of games and removes all monetization like this. The games are still kinda predatory in their frustrations, however there’s no coin to spend. You just randomly get items and that’s it.

Greylog. ELK.

I think modern solutions would be any of the recent Clickhouse based solutions.

Loki exists but it seems to have a tragically small market share.

Maybe I’ll take flak for this. I feel like Slack and kin have done the best job here for providing remote collaboration tools.

I feel much more productive in write-first teams. Meetings can be done over Zoom then, and they’re always short and productive. Anything works at that point.

I’ve never seen anything good come out of PE delisting like this. Someone please correct me if I’m wrong.

3 is a confusing one but understandable.

You should be using the OIDC login method most of the time for MFA, and not their built-in MFA.

I’m unsure if the equivalent software is worth the price when compared to Vault and not sure I can seriously suggest anything else even if I hate this new license.

I wish they would do some kind of easy shared storage instead, or in addition too. This sounds like an odd solution, however I’ve scaled pgsql since 9 on very, very large machines and doing 1 pgsql cluster per physical socket ended up doing near-linear scaling even on 100+ total core machines with TB+ of memory.

The challenge with this setup is that you need to do 1 writer and multiple reader clusters so you end up doing localhost replication which is super weird. If that requirement was somehow removed that’d be awesome for scaling really huge clusters.

Twitter never went down because of those engineers and the great work they did. Elon has been making all kinds of shit up as he goes. He is not an engineer, and never will be one. He can be a great businessman (and at times -- he has made great decisions for businesses.) and be a terrible engineer. He seems to be stuck on the latter even being possible.

There’s a clear best series (if you can handle the off color comedy) — Dungeon Crawler Carl

This is why they just recently changed CEOs. You're going to see the ship changing direction over the next 2 years back to a more familiar course.

One of my family members has permanently lost their job in transcription. It's not that they've lost their job either, essentially the entire field across all specialities (including legal and medical) just doesn't exist anymore as of ~this year (2023).

There are still some 'editor' positions, however they don't pay very well and I'd imagine they won't be around long either.

You can also do like me and just make your cursor gigantic. I keep it at about 75% of max size. My co-workers may make fun of me but using huge text and a giant cursor has actually caused my eyesight to improve in the last 2 years or so. n=1 so entirely anecdotally of course. :)

This is a real truth I've come to learn. I've worked in NOCs and the number of people on the planet who can successfully run on-premise hardware is... low.

Not to take a negative view, it's just an unsexy skillset and doesn't attract a lot of talent and attention.

Trying to hire for folks who can gracefully manage on-premise networks, power, and hardware is possible and extremely challenging. "Cloud," as it is today, is here to stay.

Yea it kind of is! I've used EFS in real-world scenarios with more than 1,000 concurrent readers/writers. EFS's costs are just otherworldly compared to S3. If you need that interface though, it's a good (albeit expensive) choice.

The tech in their stack is still pretty good. Unless you’re supporting tens of thousands of customers and trying to make the promises that fly makes today. Look at the fly engineer replies in this thread.

Also they basically only use OSS versions, they could go give Hashicorp some money to solve their Vault problems. They could probably partner with SecondQuadrant for PG as two examples. That might not make sense for their business though.

Hard problems are hard no matter the choice.

mrkurt have you considered some of the lower tiers of vault enterprise that allow for performance replicas that just outright solve that problem? might be cheaper than an engineer at this point.

Look at 5800X vs 5800X3D.
