Honestly, dumping gecko would be a suicide for Firefox. Much of Firefox's minuscule userbase consists of knowledgeable nerds who are holdouts from the Blink monoculture.

Using WebKit (even JavaScriptCore) and working with Apple wouldn't be the worst thing to my eyes as a Firefox/FOSS user. Duopoly isn't great but it's better than a monopoly.

For now. There's a pretty decent chance that AccuWeather is discontinuing this in anticipation that the NWS is going to be sabotaged.

Project 2025 strongly opposes everything good in this world.

I’ve been meaning to check out NATS - I’ve tended to default to Redis for pubsub. What are the main advantages? I use clickhouse and Postgres extensively
sbstp · a month ago
I've been disappointed by Nats. Core Nats is good and works well, but if you need stronger delivery guarantees you need to use Jetstream which has a lot of quirks, for instance it does not integrate well with the permission system in Core Nats. Their client SDKs are very buggy and unreliable. I've used the Python, Rust and Go ones, only the Go one worked as expected. I would recommend using rabbitmq, Kafka or redpanda instead of Nats.

There seems to be a few typos in the article, unless I don't understand what's going on.

In step 1, the register uses the source path 'github-events' but the payload is using 'github-pushes'.

In step 3 it says filter_query passes since payload->>'ref' is 'refs/heads/main' but we never see that filter being inserted in the service, the only filter we see is type IN (\'PushEvent\', \'PullRequestEvent\').

Was the article edited midway through and missed some pieces?

> Kubernetes comes with substantial infrastructure costs that go beyond DevOps and management time. The high cost arises from needing to provision a bare-bones cluster with redundant management nodes.

That's your problem right there. You really don't want to be setting up and managing a cluster from scratch for anything less than a datacenter-scale operation. If you are already on a cloud provider just use their managed Kubernetes offering instead. It will come with a free control plane and abstract away most of the painful parts for you (like etcd, networking, load balancing, ACLs, node provisioning, kubelets, proxies). That way you just bring your own nodes/VMs and can still enjoy the deployment standardization and other powerful features without the operational burden.

Most control planes are not free anymore, they cost like 70$/mo on AWS & GCP. Used to be a while back.

Can you explain what zip filesystem is?
sbstp · a year ago
I'm not a TCL user, but from the description of wduquette is sounds similar to Python's zipapp

Even HTTP/2 seems to have been rushed[1]. Chrome has removed support for server push. Maybe more thought should be put into these protocols instead of just rebranding whatever Google is trying to impose on us.

sbstp commented on Building static binaries with Go on Linux   eli.thegreenplace.net/202... · Posted by u/ingve
sbstp · a year ago
I feel like there's a lot of potential between Go and Cosmopolitan libc. Go itself does not use libc much, as shown in the blog, but some great libraries like SQLite3 need it (unless you use https://pkg.go.dev/modernc.org/sqlite).

The ability to build a single static binary that works on Linux, Mac and Windows using Go would be life changing for the internal tools I develop at work.
