Do you have an example? I don't doubt it, I just want to make sure I watch out for it. One downside for sure is lack of deep knowledge on all these platforms can make it difficult to see issues.

I really believe this is the way forward, native platform UI built by AI. I'm trying it now with an app and so far it's working really well. I build what I can cross platform, the non-ui stuff, then have AI build the UI for each p

Fair. Making https work with mDNS seamlessly sounds like work (i.e. local CA would be needed I think). It would make things nice though.

Tailscale Operator for Kubernetes sounds like it'd fit your second bullet point. It's has a really good experience. I've only used for my person homelab but I've been more than impressed by it.

The only thing I can say with confidence is that if you're using ARM containers it is really fast, probably thanks to the Apple Silicon. I imagine memory consumption is on par with running on Intel. I don't think Docker Desktop ca

Yes, it runs ARM containers natively.

There is overhead for sure but if you use x86 containers on an Intel Mac or arm64 containers on an Apple Silicon mac, it's pretty performant.

Docker Desktop already ran on Macs. This is specifically for the new Apple Silicon support (M1). It's not native, technically, but it feels native the way Docker Desktop works. Basically they manage the VM for you, so you don't ha

I've been subscribed to https://www.devopsweekly.com/ for a long time. I usually find something interesting in it every week.

Hi, I'm a member of the team that built Gyro. Gyro, a command-line cloud automation and management tool, started as internal tool over 5 years ago. We had a vision of building one tool that would pull together several different tools (

The "pluggable convergence engines" is what we've built in Gyro[1] for this very reason. We wanted to have more control over how changes are made in production. An example is doing blue/green deployments where you want t

I've found a combination of Spring Boot executable jar + a small jlink built JRE runtime packaged next to the executable jar works fairly well. Our zipped distribution is 50mb. Uncompressed the executable is 26mb and the runtime is 75m

I second this. Learn to fly. I'm never happier than when I'm flying. I can see how a similar effect happens to sky divers.

I bet he’s referring to having a controller but I think you can run it on your laptop, configure everything and then turn off the controller. I don’t think the controller is needed after initial configuration unless you want the stats colle

I came to the exact same conclusion. The Ubiquiti solution was slightly more expensive but it works flawlessly. Very happy with it!

We saw this earlier this year after upgrading to a new Linux kernel. The solution for us was to set this in sysctl.conf: net.ipv4.neigh.default.gc_thresh1=0 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug

We actually use a storage format very similar to the FriendFeed schema in Dari. Dari is a open source Java persistence layer with a full query API that stores all it's data in a JSON blob in one table with a few extra tables for indexi

I make about $1000 a month from Whiteboard Capture Pro and more than that from consulting. Plus I have a day job.

I just happened across http://abcnews.go.com the other day on my iPad and thought it was fairly well done and the page turn animations were decent. Check it out.

Ruby may at some point be an optional language but it's not going to replace Objective-C.

No one has that I'm aware of. At least not just taking the code and submitting it as-is. I've had many people email me about the code because they were trying to use it for their app. If somebody did just re-submit it as a paid app I'd be f

This could be interesting if enough folks post. Here is my info. I've published 2 apps, one paid (Whiteboard Capture Pro), one free (Picture Me). Picture Me code is open sourced as well ( http://bit.ly/7rmKdT ). Originally I did some market

Interesting idea for a service. I wrote an Apache module that is very similar. http://code.google.com/p/moddims/

In general, just human faces. But I had a friend tell me they drew a picture of a face on a whiteboard and it detected it. Almost definitely won't detect a dog. :)

Good point about the license. Consider it public domain. I'll make a note about it on the blog entry. I'll slap it up on github in a few and update the links. http://github.com/beetlebugorg/PictureMe/tree/master
