Was very recently looking for an alternative for automating frequently used commands for our Elixir app – especially for local dev (without using docker) and came across Taskfile (https://taskfile.dev/) and have been liking it quite a bit.
(a) Does this mean that there will be an sqlite version that can be deployed as a process accessible over network in servers?
(b) Does this mean that sqlite will now have the capability to do concurrent reads/writes, but that it is upto users to implement a process that can take advantage of this and create something like (a)?
I'm sorry if I jumped the gun before the blogpost was ready. :) Hopefully, the discussion will help even more!
Update: Better wording
There is a fun story as well: We were in college (in India) at the time and my friend went ahead and ordered 100 CD's or so (they actually encouraged it at the time for distribution). The package arrived at the local Post Office after a few weeks and he was asked to go collect it, which seemed strange. Anyways, he went and to his wonder was told to pay import duty on it by the customs! He argued for a while saying it was educational material and that it was being shipped for free - to no avail. He finally gave up and asked them to keep it for themselves and walked out.
In the end, they chased after him before he left the premises and gave it to him - no import duty, nothing.
I got my CD from this set. :)
The fact is that most people are going to be reusing (and probably be better of) a lot of code from other well tested dotfiles. `fresh` lets you pick and choose what you want directly from other's repos in addition to adding whatever you want and produces a single bundle (or multiple if you need it).
As far as I can tell, its a self contained shell script and does not have any dependencies (if that is a concern). Its definitely worth checking out.
That said, I would be uncomfortable mixing something as opinionated as Angular with another framework that expects to "own" the DOM/rendering. My guess is that Angular will implement their own version of VDOM in the next few months since it shows demonstrably better performance.
We started with Lenalidomide and was on it until end of last year with breaks of up to 6-8 months where there was no specific meds.. He's now on a Bortezomib cycle which will end in a couple of months and we hope to have some months free of meds again..
We never did the bone marrow transplant considering his age and stress/recovery he would have to go through.. MM is sympathetic in the sense that people who respond to meds can have a high quality of life even while undergoing treatment (my dad is still a practising medical Doctor). Lenalidomide is a tablet that you take at home while you go in once every week or two for Bortezomib shots.. The treatment is also considerably cheaper in India (still not inexpensive by any measure)..
The overarching fear for MM patients is the fact that its indeed incurable and how far/long we can go on before running out of treatment options.. Personally, seeing such trials and success gives us hope and comfort.. OV looks a promising approach and I hope my dad and others will be able to benefit from it..
Slightly off topic - I've always thought this is a very interesting use case for Github and open source in general - especially for understanding such low level concepts and their implementations. Provided the commit history is clear and comprehensive, this might be the best way to learn, other than do the whole thing yourself from scratch. Has somebody actually taken this path? What's your experience?
The most comprehensive best-practices resource of Django I've come across by far is "Two Scoops of Django"[1] by "pydanny"[2]. Its absolutely worth the $17.
Few questions regarding performance compared to running the processes directly on Linux (I guess this applies to LXCs in general - forgive me if these are due to a lack of knowledge about how LXCs work in general):
- How much extra memory and CPU does each Docker process take? - Is there any performance hit with respect to CPU, I/O or memory? - Are there any benchmarks from testing available?
Again, kudos to all the people at dotCloud behind Docker and extra props for open sourcing!!
I just hope they had taken a little bit more care in ensuring backward compatibility - both my apps (which I have been running for 7+ months) lost code deployment ability (errors on deploy). The fact that it happened exactly at a time we discovered a major issue in our code base and were stuck without being able to push hot fixes was a major bummer.
Shot off an email to their support 2 hours back - haven't heard back yet.
Fortunately, we sniffed the issue to the new buildpack and found a work around by pointing our apps to use an older buildpack (https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/buildpacks). While it caused us real heartburn for quite some time, kudos to them for building an infrastructure that is extremely configurable (which enabled the workaround).
Update: Heroku support got back with the same work around. They are debugging the issue with the new buildpack.
Anybody know if there were any specific reasons for ZangZing?
Haha, nice pitch - wonder if VCs would buy it! ;)
Hilarious story btw. :)
We currently have a setup that needs S3 access to reliably develop/test the app I'm currently working on and I had just sat down planning to remove this dependency, since I will be on the road the next week or so.
This will save me a bunch of time immediately and probably some money later on. Thanks!
Building one myself, I instinctively felt this should be below the image, but my designer disagreed and that's the way it is right now. We will definitely push this down - evidence always wins :)
More than anything, I enjoyed TC Cribs the most since they were the closest thing to really see Valley startups at work - unless you worked for one of them. :)
Seriously, $135 for an alarm clock?
Journalism is a lot about perspective - I dont care if you occupy the highest moral grounds, your perspective changes dramatically once you have significant interest and money invested into something you are talking about. What you would normally call a Spade now becomes a Diamond.
Arrington's and MG's responses to the Path issue is proof enough for this - can you imagine both of them so mellow and supportive if Path was not CF funded was not around? I think not. And ohh yeah, I nearly puked reading MG's "rant" few days back. For someone who is so hypercritical of anything on the borderline of wrong (except if its from Apple - or any CF company it seems now), it felt especially nauseous.
To their credit, they do have disclosures - which definitely make a difference - if that is enough, I'm not sure.
Credibility is built by calling a spade a spade. It also tends to take the fast route down if you stop doing that.
