If need anything more complicated than simple $var substitution, it's time to use a general purpose scripting language with appropriate libraries to generate your data structure. A half-baked template DSL will never work.

There is a major flaw in placement of the EC2 instance in this diagram. Each EC2 instance has 1 or more Network Interfaces, where each Network Interface resides in 1 subnet and can have multiple public and private IP addresses. The diagram

I would rephrase this concern as "dconf is not a stable API" rather than "you are not supposed to do this". It's my computer, I am supposed to do whatever I want, but using unstable API comes with costs that should

I find SQL very hard to use when the data schema and/or transformation graph needs to be dynamic (e.g. depends on the data itself). It's hard to make SQL dynamic even at build time -- Jinja+SQL is one of the worst development expe

Yeah, I am also struggling to interpret the metrics in this post positively. The 50% success rate is also best out of 3200 completions. For best out of 1 completion, the success rate is in low single digits. I think the lesson here is that

In my recent job, I committed Jupyter notebooks to Git, and they tend to be giant JSON files. I had 10x SLOC of anyone who did not commit Jupyter notebooks.

A lot of concerns are focusing on (person) -> (tiktok) -> (CCP) data flow. What about the reverse information flow? A foreign political party tuning the algorithm to affect public opinions? I think this is even more impactful than dat

What if US government makes a (secret) deal with China to get data from them? It might seem unlikely today, but politics can change any time. Data markets can be fairly efficient. Once someone has your data, they can always (re)sell it to t

I think JIT and custom code is the same requirement in this discussion. In Chrome's case, the V8 engine is a JIT compiler from JS to ARM instructions. The code of V8 can be vetted during the review process, but the ARM instructions tha
