I could never get my head around Make except for very simple commands.
Was very recently looking for an alternative for automating frequently used commands for our Elixir app – especially for local dev (without using docker) and came across Taskfile (https://taskfile.dev/) and have been liking it quite a bit.
(a) Does this mean that there will be an sqlite version that can be deployed as a process accessible over network in servers?
(b) Does this mean that sqlite will now have the capability to do concurrent reads/writes, but that it is upto users to implement a process that can take advantage of this and create something like (a)?
Thank you so much for the slides - even though I've been following the Docker/Rkt/LXC developments ever since Docker came out (albeit passively), this is the best resource I've come across that explains what happens internally in an easy to grok manner. The fact that you can do nearly everything in systemd is indeed a bonus.
I'm sorry if I jumped the gun before the blogpost was ready. :) Hopefully, the discussion will help even more!
Quick feedback:
Browsing the Go section, each sub directory(at all depths) in the Docker project seems to be listed as a separate project. Leads to showing a few pages of results linking to the same project(ie, Docker). Also may explain why Go seems to have far more number of projects listed than anything else. :)
Yup, the free CDs is what I remember as the first thing about Ubuntu - and the fact that it worked out of the box.
There is a fun story as well:
We were in college (in India) at the time and my friend went ahead and ordered 100 CD's or so (they actually encouraged it at the time for distribution). The package arrived at the local Post Office after a few weeks and he was asked to go collect it, which seemed strange. Anyways, he went and to his wonder was told to pay import duty on it by the customs! He argued for a while saying it was educational material and that it was being shipped for free - to no avail. He finally gave up and asked them to keep it for themselves and walked out.
In the end, they chased after him before he left the premises and gave it to him - no import duty, nothing.
Recently spent some time organizing my dotfiles and discovered fresh[1] which I've been using to great success. Both for servers I manage and on my mac.
The fact is that most people are going to be reusing (and probably be better of) a lot of code from other well tested dotfiles. `fresh` lets you pick and choose what you want directly from other's repos in addition to adding whatever you want and produces a single bundle (or multiple if you need it).
As far as I can tell, its a self contained shell script and does not have any dependencies (if that is a concern). Its definitely worth checking out.
That said, I would be uncomfortable mixing something as opinionated as Angular with another framework that expects to "own" the DOM/rendering. My guess is that Angular will implement their own version of VDOM in the next few months since it shows demonstrably better performance.
My dad has been a MM patient for close to 6 years now and you are spot-on about the disease's general behaviour..
We started with Lenalidomide and was on it until end of last year with breaks of up to 6-8 months where there was no specific meds.. He's now on a Bortezomib cycle which will end in a couple of months and we hope to have some months free of meds again..
We never did the bone marrow transplant considering his age and stress/recovery he would have to go through.. MM is sympathetic in the sense that people who respond to meds can have a high quality of life even while undergoing treatment (my dad is still a practising medical Doctor). Lenalidomide is a tablet that you take at home while you go in once every week or two for Bortezomib shots.. The treatment is also considerably cheaper in India (still not inexpensive by any measure)..
The overarching fear for MM patients is the fact that its indeed incurable and how far/long we can go on before running out of treatment options.. Personally, seeing such trials and success gives us hope and comfort.. OV looks a promising approach and I hope my dad and others will be able to benefit from it..
"If you are planning to learn filesystems, start from the scratch. You can look from the first commit in this repository and move the way up."
Slightly off topic - I've always thought this is a very interesting use case for Github and open source in general - especially for understanding such low level concepts and their implementations. Provided the commit history is clear and comprehensive, this might be the best way to learn, other than do the whole thing yourself from scratch. Has somebody actually taken this path? What's your experience?
The most comprehensive best-practices resource of Django I've come across by far is "Two Scoops of Django"[1] by "pydanny"[2]. Its absolutely worth the $17.
Very excited about the possibilities and convenience that Docker opens up. Will be taking it for a spin soon.
Few questions regarding performance compared to running the processes directly on Linux (I guess this applies to LXCs in general - forgive me if these are due to a lack of knowledge about how LXCs work in general):
- How much extra memory and CPU does each Docker process take?
- Is there any performance hit with respect to CPU, I/O or memory?
- Are there any benchmarks from testing available?
Again, kudos to all the people at dotCloud behind Docker and extra props for open sourcing!!
Its really nice to see them bringing in even more flexibility in platforms and environments.
I just hope they had taken a little bit more care in ensuring backward compatibility - both my apps (which I have been running for 7+ months) lost code deployment ability (errors on deploy). The fact that it happened exactly at a time we discovered a major issue in our code base and were stuck without being able to push hot fixes was a major bummer.
Shot off an email to their support 2 hours back - haven't heard back yet.
Fortunately, we sniffed the issue to the new buildpack and found a work around by pointing our apps to use an older buildpack (https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/buildpacks). While it caused us real heartburn for quite some time, kudos to them for building an infrastructure that is extremely configurable (which enabled the workaround).
Update: Heroku support got back with the same work around. They are debugging the issue with the new buildpack.
