The Locked Tomb series! It’s excellent. The first book is Gideon the Ninth.

It’s not exactly the right genre but I think it’s pretty close. Many people describe it as lesbian necromancers in space. But that’s a poor description IMO. More like mystery novels with a side of horror featuring necromancers in space. The lesbian aspect is very minor though certainly relevant to the plot.

This is excellent. I may copy the rough format for tracking things internally at my company!

Btw, I agree with most of your decisions in here with just a few exceptions.

  • kustomize > helm
  • Argo > flux

My last thought is less clear though. There are good observability solutions besides datadog. Grafana Cloud is great. Honeycomb has a similar offering. But all are pretty expensive though.

If you aren’t using OpenTelemetry, you’re probably doing observability wrong!

Disclaimer: I don’t yet understand why this is valuable.

I looked through the yaml example a bit. It looks pretty rough. This really makes familiar and readable yaml into much longer configuration. It’s much harder to read. First impression is a pass.

Oh really??? I wonder if there’s hope for chrome after all. Though I’m still sticking with Firefox 🙂

Here’s a random article on the topic to get you started.

Basically Google is destroying anonymous web browsing by embedding finger printing in chromium. Certain trusted servers will track your identity and report whether or not it trusts you.

It’s actually very similar to how Single Sign On and identity providers work. Except you aren’t choosing to use it with a “login with Facebook” or similar button. It’s forced on you by the browser

With chromium being poisoned last year and Mozilla trying to diversify away from Firefox, I’m starting to wonder what browser I should be using in the near future. So I’d really like to hear some opinions on arc browser!

EDIT: Aaand it’s chromium

Fair enough regarding sass, though I disagree with the opinion.

But I’m asking about builders of partial software. For example, consider a single developer that builds a really great library for handling tables. It displays a grid, displays text in cells, maybe performs some operations between cells, etc. On its own, this software is useless but is very useful for other people to build other products. Should it be illegal to sell this software?

No. There are good landlords. They’re definitely small scale. Normal homeowners that are able to scale their efforts to a few rental units. There’s also a real need for renting rather than owning.

The real problems are all large scale landlords and also bad landlords (of all sizes) that overcharge, abuse tenants, forgo maintenance, etc.

Hmm I may be confused. Do you believe that software companies shouldn’t be allowed to build and sell libraries? I.e. They should only be allowed to sell full products, ready for an end user?

Still difficult in that example. Bossa can’t force the other company to do anything.

While I love the spirit of this idea, it gets complicated fast. Worlds adrift is a great example. The game’s server was created using some closed source libraries with a paid license. So when the owning company (Bossa Studios?) went under, they were unable to open source it.

A law like this would effectively kill all licensed software that isn’t a full product. I do agree though; we need a solution

The Primeagen has a great reaction to dreamberd. Enjoy!
