Funny story: I can't get an Apple ID.

I tried around 10 years ago, repeatedly would provide a password, get a notification, click on it, get asked to type my new password.. and get told the password was invalid.

Anyways, I moved on with my life. I was only reminded of it this year when I got referred for a job at Apple.. and guess what, I still can't make an Apple ID. So now I can't ever get a job at Apple :) Oh well, first world problems.

Looking forward to the post mortem on this one. We weren't affected (just using the CDN), and people are saying they weren't affected who are using Cloudflare Workers (a previous culprit which we've since moved off), so I wonder what service / API was actually affected that brought down multiple websites with a 500 but not all of them.

Wise was just down which is a pretty big one.

Also odd how some websites were down this time that previously weren't down with the global outage in November

was interesting, some of our stuff failed, but some other stuff that used cloudflare indirectly didn't.

HTMX is neither a meme nor is it anti-javascript, it is literally written in js.

It does not aim to remove js from your code, it simply adds more features to HTML by default, like making any element able to trigger an web request.

When you write a real world app with HTMX, you inevitably end up writing some js, which is totally fine.

i decided to use htmx for a frontend for myself and it was a pretty fun experience. even got tailwind involved pretty easily with my rust+maud backend.

Nor is it "local first". It works by remotely pushing HTML into the DOM. It's really a form of push technology.

htmx isn't local first. this blog post is about trying to make it 'local first' by introducing a service worker.

What worked best for me is to turn my user's home dir into a Git repository. My .gitignore contains this:

*

And if I need to add something, I just "git add -f ...". Works surprisingly well. Combines well with git-secret for things like SSH keys, certificates and API keys.

my dotfiles follow atlassian's tutorial where they do this, but put the git dir somewhere else and alias away the git command. It has worked pretty well for me.

kryptn commented on I could not convince my k8s team to go AWS serverless   medium.com/@dnsearching/h... · Posted by u/gpi

> To a k8s engineer, serverless means “no servers”!

I'd assume a majority of people working with k8s knows what serverless is and where Functions as a Service work more generically.

The rest of the post just seems to be full of strawman arguments.

who is this kubernetes engineer villain? It sounds like a bad coworker at a company with a toxic culture, or a serverless advocate complaining at a bar after a bad meeting.

> k8s is great for container orchestration and complex workloads, while serverless shines for event-driven, auto-scaling applications.

> But will a k8s engineer ever admit that?

Of course. I manage k8s clusters in aws with eks. We use karpenter for autoscaling. A lot of our system is argo workflows, but we've also got a dozen or so services running.

We also have some large step functions written by a team that chose use lambda because aws can handle that kind of scaling much better than we would have wanted to in k8s.
