In a professional setting, sometimes the cost of developing something more performant in C is not worth it. The velocity unlocked by creating systems in Go is just incredible, after your company has built everything in C[++] for decades. I find myself creating gRPC APIs in Go to solve most design challenges, because it’s stupid fast to develop and is fairly maintainable after.

Looks more like a Bichon Frise rather than a Poodle - but probably an unnecessary distinction, as it is still cute.

Just started My Little Pony: Tails of Equestria with my wife and 7yo daughter - it’s a blast!

Ok but we can see it says Furry Fandom as the page you are on, there is no way we just like, ignore that - right?

Sometimes I wonder if in 75 years people will look back on our caffeine use in this generation like we currently look back at cocaine use in products in the 19th century. Until then, I continue to slurp down coffee like that is my actual job.

As a IBM developer - ouch man, that hurts. I guess I’ll just go back my job doing… nothing (actually sounds like a sweet job)

Yea it’s very easy to learn enough to run, it has built-in service discovery and secrets now, and writing parameterized jobs feels so much nicer than a helm chart in k8s.

10/10, would orchestrate again

I use k8s at work a lot - I choose to use Nomad at home, you may want to add that to your shortlist.

I am nearly complete migrating my ceph cluster and nomad compute cluster to arm :shrug:

This - no one can agree how long a day, week, month, year etc are!

Like sure it’s 24 hours in a day but is a year 365 days? No, not technically speaking.

Time has always been really hard for programmers.

Did this for 3 years with a daily commute to a different state - ~13h of charging a day on 120v was far more than enough. Obviously I’m lucky enough to have a outdoor plug available to the car area but if you do it’s completely doable.

My day job is a lot of kube/openshift so nomad is refreshing. Having the template blocks are amazing and makes it so that much of what helm gave me is not required. Parameterized jobs are the best once you find a good use case for them!

• 33 nomad jobs, most being containers
• 12 physical nomad clients
  • 3 amd64 poweredge
  • 2 pi4
  • 6 Nano Pi r5c
  • 1 odroid M1
• Ceph: (nomad orchestrated)
  • 8 OSD
  • 50TB total raw disk

Make. An. Affordable. Car.

Why does every new ev for the US have to be mega deluxe luxury SUV? No one in the US is buying your affordable EV because you only sell them in Europe!

A year or two ago (whenever docker changed the business license of docker for Mac) I changed to podman and aliased docker=podman. It behaves the same, you would just about never know rootful podman vs docker.

Rootless podman is super cool and a much better security ideal - but comparing more apples to apples would be podman running as root vs docker.

Buildah lacks any sort of caching … what? assuming you are using a Containerfile… what? It’s… the same as docker on layer caching. The --cache-to and --cache-from flags are particularly sweet.

Every time we see this in our legacy code we yell out: dolla-dolla bills 'yall!

(after) …ah crap it’s actually selinux…

And just 9 years after the idea was on adult swim.

Nomad is a breath of fresh air after working with k8s professionally.

Don’t get me wrong, love k8s, but it’s a bit much (until you need it)
