Sounds like Garden Core could be a great fit here. The motivation behind Garden was that, like you, we had built our own home-grown kubernetes dev environments, but felt like there should be a polished, general-purpose framework + tool for

(Garden co-founder here) Garden supports in-cluster building, using buildkit or kaniko. This way, you don't need to have Docker or k8s running on your dev machine as you're working. It also automates the process of redeploying ser

We have an easier time categorising a disorder as a disease rather than a moral failure when we see clear neurobiological correlates. But as we know (or at least currently believe), the separation of disorders into "hardware" (non

Indeed! I disagree with people who think vim and emacs are ugly: they have their own nice 8bit-esque aesthetic which I'd expect hackers to like, given that they've chosen to stare at terminals all day (I've rolled my own colorscheme for bot

Even if the mouse were quicker on average for long jumps, the moving of the hand from mouse to keyboard feels like more of a combo breaker, more distracting. Speed is very important, but equally important is for the editing experience to ha

I rock back and forth, depending on the languages I'm using. Emacs does more, but is in my experience more kludgy, even after having in aggregate spent many days customizing it (maybe it would rub better if I wasn't hardwired to the vi/vim

If you want ⌘S, ⌘C, ⌘V etc., try Macvim ( https://code.google.com/p/macvim/ ). I use it for longer coding sessions (more colors, faster rendering when in fullscreen with split panes), and terminal vim over ssh when working on a remote serve

I should have been clearer: I'm not advocating anarcho-capitalism, just having an academic discussion. My point was that a state isn't necessary to enforce contracts, although the competing entities that would theoretically replace the stat

If you want a lisp that compiles to JS, ClojureScript is also a good option. It's ready for use, and there's a lot of smart people working on making it better. The Clojure/ClojureScript community is also very good - intelligent and friendly

Good post! Generalizing the point, maybe a good description of sophistication is: using one's intuition in a natural way to explore the boundaries of one's knowledge, having previously refined that intuition by rigorous study and experienti

WRT Smalltalk's image, code management is only one of its marquee features, so I think Smalltalkers would object to calling image vs files a false dichotomy. Yeah, I agree. That was inaccurate on my part. What I said really only applies t

Perhaps this project shows that file vs image is, in fact, a false dichotomy. Instead of replacing our current file-based workflows with a monolithic image, this kind of tool could provide all the image functionality on top of the file stru

Exactly. When he says So under its expressive covers, everything about Clojure is strongly conservative, with a core overriding bias towards protecting programmers from mistakes. he's probably talking about macros and the f

I just can't be bothered with fiddling with config files and installing little bundles and packages for every functionality. While this is obviously a matter of taste, I do like vim's minimalism in that you start off with a simple core wi

It's indeed possible to add type-checking to Clojure by writing macros for type declarations and checking. But Clojure was designed primarily as a dynamic language, and if one wants type checking maybe Haskell fits the bill better, since it

Clojure does have more sugar than Scheme, but imho some of it improves readability; for example, using brackets for grouping instead of overloading lists like Scheme does can make code easier to scan, because when you see parens in Clojure
