Interesting. So Talos is both a Linux and a k8s distribution? I am less interested in running k8s itself in Firecracker (or kata, or similar), but the pods started by it. I think there are advantages to that.

I have the same question. WeaveWorks has another project called footloose which allows docker containers to be used like VMs. Also dead. The only other project/company (aside from Kata) promoting firecracker was Talos. But not sure if

You confuse flexible working hours with a demand to work more than 40 hours a week (including nights and weekends). If you (like to) work overtime on the weekend or week nights, I hope you are compensated well. Just take into account that

Current tech stack is: The iOS-Frontend is UIKit and RxSwift. The backend is pretty lean — TypeScript, Firestore with the beginnings of PostgreSQL (with Prisma!). The recommender piece for the daily tips is Python. We also use cloud functio

How do you backup this database? Does it integrate with iCloud or whatever is available on the device?

I would like to see IAM as well, but I would say that the solution right now is using a seperate account and using AWS MFA: http://aws.amazon.com/mfa/ A new account doesn't have all AWS services enabled by default

In general, and especially for people freelancing in Germany, I'd add: Not getting a tax consultant. I'm pretty sure this is the same everywhere, but regardless, it's the first thing I tell people which they have to get in or

I agree with this. Call servers after their purpose. I don't grow attached to servers anymore — especially in the cloud.

I'm not a Jira fan, but TCO usually includes more than just the actual price of the product. So e.g. setup, maintenance and ongoing support. :)

Thanks Amazon? This is probably in reference to Amazon forbidding the use of another software load balancer than ELB. I also read on reddit that there is in fact just ELB. Especially when if you require a loadbalancer and don't host on

This is basically what I wanted to write. In addition, I'm not a huge fan of linkedin either. There are no guarantees to it. One is that most of what's on there is hard to check and linkedin endorsements are just unreal to start w

Thanks! I am surprised by this trend — put a project on kickstarter and promise to open source it. Build it on tech that's been open sourced for free. Trying to stay positive here. But haven't they heard of the millions of people

Can anyone explain/summarize what this is? I gather it was/is feed reader, but I can't find much more and she (?) is very vague. Or I don't know how to navigate her blog.

A rescue dog — unless maybe really, really old — needs to be challenged constantly. And by challenged, I mean — these dogs are/were rescue dogs for a reason. :) Challenges include games and tasks, and all that. These dogs need "work" to fee

This. We're using emberjs right now as well. But the lack of test integration is a huge problem for us. We right some tests with busterjs currently, but none of these tests are unit tests and tell us what exactly went wrong — somewhere. So

Looks neat. :) It would be pretty nice (if I may suggest that ;)), if you added add branch support so the patches are saved into a refactoring branch or maybe individual branches?

This is a great question as well. I'm a little concerned by this choice because I'm not looking forward to constantly enforcing updates all across the board.

Can you comment on compatibility. For example, if I decide to buy VMware Fusion for a team of 6 developers today (Professional costs 45 EUR*6 = 270 EUR). Will I have to spend the same amount each year again or are you going to support each

I don't consider myself to be magical, but anyway — since you were asking. We primarily use MySQL and CouchDB (BigCouch). Our user records (accounts and payment) are stored the RDBMS, while the data the users created is in BigCouch. We enjo

You can learn almost everything you listed as a "Con". It's not always easy, but you learn as you go. I've picked up a lot on the go and for everything else I have to be honest with myself and spend more time on it (e.g. evening, weekend or

You compare a hoster for servers with a storage solution. Don't get me wrong, I know that hetzner offers cheap iron and it's really amazing, but all this comes at the expense of the network and the support. RE: S3 – it scales any time and o

It would be interesting to see how your homegrown sync solution works on various operating systems (desktop + mobile) and offers a web-based UI to do the same on the go. Maybe you discover the sarcasm in my comment. ;)
