For the hundreds of people reading this article right now - you might be amused to know that you're accessing it from a mac mini on my desk:

(The CPU load from this is pretty negligible).

What kind of Mac mini do you use (cpu and ram)? I’m really interested in making the same thing but I’m not sure if the base M4 mini is enough with just 16gb of ram.

The French example is horrible. Barely sensical, very weird, absolutely not what a native person would write nor say. It looks like something someone who barely speaks French would produce.
raitom · 2 years ago
Agree. As a native speaker, I found these examples to be weird at best. No way any native would write or speak like that.

It is possible to petition for a green card without an h1b. Actually I wonder why in this story, Microsoft didn't sponsor an employment based GC.
raitom · 3 years ago
Because sponsoring an employment based GC takes considerably more time than filling for an H1B. We're talking at best less than a year for an H1B (filling in April and you receive it in October of the same year) vs 18 months minimum for an European (10+ years for an Indian).

I actually got my H1B at my 2nd try. I did not get pick at my 1st try and had to wait until next year but it went quite smoothly. However for my GC, it took 4 years between the initial conversation with my employer and getting it in my hands. The actual process itself, from the moment the lawyers received all the documents, took 2 years.

Cool, let me know if you need anything at jonathan@tensordock.com!

Unlike other managed Docker hosting services, these are fully virtualized VMs, so you can use whatever tools you want, and most software applications work out-of-the-box. You can cloud game (or run virtual workstations) through Windows, too.

Our ML images come with Docker and NVIDIA-Docker2 preinstalled, so that should work with whatever workloads you'll be running :)

raitom · 3 years ago
What would be cool is if we could run some kind of jobs in a docker container on those instances with the nvidia drivers pre-installed.

What I mean is I prepare a container, I go to tensordock and start my container with some parameter. Tensordock prepares an instance in the background for me, run the container and stop the instance once the container stop.

Pretty cool! I have a project I'm about to launch and I was preparing it for GCP but it would be way cheaper to run it on Tensordock. Plus, I don't need crazy powerful GPU, the RTX4000 are perfect for my usage. Signing up right now and I'll try it this weekend.

Is there a archive.org for arcades? MAME of any kind?
raitom · 4 years ago
Not sure if it’s allowed here but yes, people have been dumping even the most recent arcade games: http://www.emuline.org/forum/28-arcade-pc-dump-loader/

I wonder if they could sell it to consumers instead of focusing on malls and places. There are certain type of Arcade that offer better experience beyond console and computer gaming.

But I guess that is too courages move for a Japanese company.

raitom · 4 years ago
Not officially but you can buy an arcade machine! I own a vewlix blue diamond that I bought last year for $2300 (tax + shipping included).

If you are interested, here is a link to the guy I bought my machine from: https://www.arcade-projects.com/threads/k-c-game-sale.10993/...

I had a brief love affair with Elixir/OTP recently. The language ist beautiful, the platform very impressive. Genserver and the actor model are very powerful tools for concurrent systems and Phoenix is one of the best web frameworks I ever tried.

BUT the tooling was a bit lacking (e.g JetBrains IDE, good debugging workflow), the library support was a bit spotty (e.g for Auth, everything high quality but often abandoned). Then if you use e.g GCP there is no real first class language support and if you deploy to Kubernetes then there is a lot of overlap with Beam/OTP for deployment management etc. this and I feel for most quick web development pure functional programming is too much mental overhead for me (maybe this comes down to practice). I feel way more productive with e.g Go or Node.

I have mad respect for Jose Valim and the community for delivering such an exceptional project in a world saturated with languages and frameworks. But I fear its not for me. At least not yet.

raitom · 4 years ago
Same as you. The language looks nice but despite having tried Elixir multiple times this past 4 years, the tooling and lack of Jetbrains support always makes me stop and run back to Ruby.
raitom commented on The Guide to Kubernetes Labels   blog.kubecost.com/blog/ku... · Posted by u/stumarkin
AjayTripathy · 4 years ago
Kubecost fully supports labels by default-- however until recent versions we relied on kube-state-metrics for that data, which requires users to whitelist the labels they want to see. If you upgrade to our latest version, I'd be surprised if this still wasn't working for you. Once you've upgraded, you can reach out to support@kubecost.com if labels still aren't appearing or me personally ajay@kubecost.com and I'd be happy to help troubleshoot.
raitom · 4 years ago
Ok my bad then. Thanks! I will take a look and see if it works for me.
