At the risk of making a classic "I have a few qualms with this app" blunder, I'm not super clear on what this has over other durable workflow solutions. It seems to take the durable workflow idea and lock you into a specific

To be fair, this is a mistake that started with the Google paper, and everyone else just copies the mistake. The paper calls them Macaroons as a play on (browser) Cookies with layers (of caveats) - so clearly they meant macarons as well, si

This is interesting, I have the opposite opinion. I dislike helm for public distribution, because everyone wants _their_ thing templated, so you end up making every field of your chart templated and it becomes a mess to maintain. Internal

Also a happy Lutron fan, but I went with RadioRA2. It's a bit "smarter" but it's very reliable, not connected to the internet, and some basics can even be programmed without the management software. One thing that stands

Quality aside, it's the paywall that grinds my gears. Wirecutter articles are essentially long, well-researched ads for the products they (affiliate) link to. I always found these ads useful, at least as a starting point. But putting a

The article was comparing OPA/Cedar to Zanzibar, which is why my head went there. I did go looking for info on how OPAL deals with caching and consistency and found these: - Authz data is kept in memory, so what you can authorize over

by evancordell 3y ago
I've seen the sentiment in this article pop up in a few places, which I'd summarize as: Policy languages like OPA and Cedar are fast to evaluate and simple to write, so you should use it for all of your authorization needs. But po

Do you just mean comedic quality or do you mean production quality as well? Some that I've listened to are good on both fronts (in my opinion): Mission To Zyxx, Dungeons and Daddies, Beef and Dairy Network.

I looked at both and came away thinking mage was more convenient for go-only projects. Just looked good and I would probably pick it for something that wasn't go-only (if make didn't make sense instead).

by evancordell 3y ago
I have long held similar opinions on make, and I've recently started using mage[0] in more and more go projects and have been happy with the result. It's more task-oriented, the way people tend to write Makefiles with .PHONY rules

There's a good interview with the author in an episode of The Manifest: https://manifest.fm/11 It's been a while since I've listened, but I remember it being pretty interesting.

I don't think it's quite as bad as you're suggesting. Operators are control-plane, your other examples are data-plane. You can also only run one Deployment controller in a kube cluster, but many Deployments. And you can run m

I get the sentiment. We held off on building an operator until we felt there was actually value in doing so (for the most part, Deployments cover the operational needs pretty well). Migrations can be run in containers (and they are, even wi

This is a common frustration of mine as well! In the latest release of the spicedb-operator[0], I added a feature that allows users to specify arbitrary patches over operator-managed resources directly in the API (examples in the link). The

I saw your comment, enabled Markdown in a Google Doc, tried to write a code block, became immediately frustrated. Looks like it only supports bold/italic, links, and headers.

That makes more sense, thank you for the explanation. Are there any plans for accord to permit snapshot queries?

by evancordell 4y ago
This might just be a language issue, because different sources use different words for consistency guarantees. > Accord only avoids enforcing an ordering (2) on transactions that are commutative If the committed state in the database rec

by evancordell 4y ago
I’m confused by this as well, it seems to only provide “strict serializability” for overlapping transactions, which other databases like Cockroach also provide.
