there’s probably a cool consistent hashing solution where jobs are routed to a host that that is likely to have the cache stored locally already and can be mounted into the containers.

this is pretty neat—it’s been a while since i’ve tried caching layers with gha. it used to be quite frustrating.

my previous experience was that in nearly all situations the time spent sending and retrieving cache layers over the network wound up making a shorter build step moot. ultimately we said “fuck it” and focused on making builds faster without (docker layer) caching.

i don’t have a better answer, but this convoluted mess of bash is a smell isn’t it?

i live in a different part of the dev world, but could this be written to be less obtuse so it’s more obvious what’s happening?

i get that a maintainer can still get malicious code in without the same rigor as an unaffiliated contributor, but surely there’s a better way than piles of “concise” (inadvertently obfuscated?) code?

it’s disingenuous to think that users read and fully understand the various permission scopes of a service. “private” has an unambiguous meaning—playing the “well, technically” card falls pretty flat imo.

so you agree then that “private” messages aren’t private on fb? i don’t know how to interpret this in a way that isn’t terrible for fb users…

in #2 you’re talking about something else. those are streaming games from a console you own.

_cloud_ streaming where the game is running a ms/sony owned server is only available in a browser.

i don’t know about the sony side of things, but apple rejected ms’s native cloud streaming app.

i feel like this perspective will be split between folks who use regex in code with strings and more sysadmin folks who are used to consuming lines from files in scripts and at the cli.

but yeah seems like a real misunderstanding from “start/end of string” people

i coincidentally just watched something about this last night, https://youtu.be/LGBqUM29vic?si=6h_-JwbhbVdKqejA

very interesting, pretty sad

luckily i won’t be able to understand it either

monodraw has been one of my favorite diagramming tools, but never seemed to be popular with the folks i worked with.

yeah, i read it as a joke as well.

dhh sure has a lot of opinions

> I know several world class programmers, and interestingly, the commonality among them is that they all seem to use Vim as their code editor. Many people I know who think of themselves as world class programmers use Emacs.

haha, shots fired!

i’m playing 4d chess and i’ll wait until every one else goes back to managing shit in data centers and then reap the cost benefits of a cloud market where supply exceeds demand!

> I'd estimate each line of terraform to be an order of magnitude more risk/maintenance/faff than each line of Python.

ehhhhhhhh, i don’t know about that. different strokes and all of that, but TF describing infrequently changing resources requires next to no maintenance. i’m not sure i under what they mean by “risk” in this context though.

if you don’t know $technology well then any thing you do with it is likely to be worse/riskier than using the thing that you do know.

> The need for expertise in anything beyond Python + Postgres.

this should be the first point because it explains 99% of the motivation for all of this.

I feel like just reading about these took years off my life.

haha, wow... how shitty of them.

impossible to enforce, but i dont hate it. im thoroughly convinced that history will see social media as a net negative for society.

im all for price hikes on streaming services—gets me to the break-even point on my nas setup sooner.

this is funnier than it has any right to be

it’s trivial to configure fwiw. with as much info as it is capable of showing it’s a stretch to think it’ll magically know what you want.

> “And what were your other birthday presents?”

this is a particularly hilarious comment imo

i don’t know how you fix this for js, but in general i think well designed and robust standard libraries are a great place to start.

the community shouldn’t need to write a bunch of tiny utility packages to do common things.

in other words, make it easier to avoid the deeply nested dependency mess that js encourages.

i felt a lot more comfortable when the giant worms were in australia—now i know they're literally in my backyard.

haha, my thoughts exactly. went scanning through the wikipedia and saw it was austrailian, and thought, "oh, that makes sense".

i think you’re looking at it wrong if all you consider are the bare numbers. someone may find enough _value_ in an expensive bike and expensive gear and not enough value in strava’s paid features. value is subjective, right?

in the mtb community at least it’s not uncommon for someone with a $6k bike to be driving a $3k car and wearing street clothes.

i find it very easy to imagine people stretching financially for expensive bikes and then cutting costs by cancelling strava.

always has been

this looks very cool!

i’m pretty tired of hearing about beeper. i find their arguments pretty disingenuous.

unless they’re dumb as rocks they knew this was the end game and this whole thing was a marketing stunt.

is eschewing technology a wise move if you plan on participating in modern society? i'm wondering how difficult he's making his life later. like, if he can't use a mobile phone or computer what careers are realistically open to him?
