The federation in Germany is one lesson from the Nazis. Centralised power makes it easier for fascism or totalitarian governments to emerge. Recent example is the US with the instrument of executive orders. So it is deliberately designed to keep Germany small.
What would be strange are hackers that are fascist. Fascism demands surrender to power and obedience, which is antithetical to the hacker sprit. Questioning systems, equalizing power imbalances is the hacker spirit.
First look shows me that this is not an easy drop in replacement. First thing is this requires a log-in and makes me wonder why this is required. Perhaps some upselling coming.
With Bitnami discontinuing their offer, we recently switched to other providers. For some we are using a helm chart and this new offer provides some helm charts but for some software just the image. I would be interested to give this a try but e.g. the python image only various '(dev)' images while the guide mentions the non-dev images. So this requires some planning.
EDIT: Digging deeper, I notice it requires a PAT and a PAT is bound to a personal account. I guess you need the enterprise offering for organisation support. I am not going to waste my time to contact them for an enterprise offer for a small start-up. What is the use case for CVE hardened images that you cannot properly run in an CICD and only on your dev machine? Are there companies that need to follow compliance rules or need this security guarantee but don't have CICD in place?
The enterprise hardened images license seems to be a different offering for offline mirroring or more strict compliance…
The main reason for CVE hardened images is that it’s hard to trust individuals to do it right at scale, even with CI/CD. You’re having to wire together your own scan & update process. In practice teams will use pinned versions, delays in fixing, turn off scanning, etc. This is easy mode
which is great when you realize that not all software is updated at the same time.
how managing multiple java runtime versions is supposed to work is still beyond me... it's a different tool at every company, and the instructions never seem to work
It's less complicated than you might think. A Java Development Kit (JDK) is a filesystem directory, and includes everything necessary to run a Java program. Most of the mysterious installers and version managers are managing a collection of these JDK directories in some fixed location on disk. You can download a JDK directory (tarball), and use the `java` binary within it directly.
There is also a convention of using the `JAVA_HOME` environment variable to allow tools to locate the correct JDK directory. For example, in a unix shell, add `$JAVA_HOME/bin` to your `PATH`.
But the java runtime needs to be at /path then, and it needs to stay there as long as ./app.sh needs it. And when app2.sh needs a different version you need that to be at /path2
This article resonated with my experience building what was essentially a distributed task queue using Redis+PostgreSQL with Python workers in Kubernetes.
It seems like these systems naturally evolve different patterns based on their specific use cases.
The logic of our queue was intertwined with a rule engine. I wrote about building a rule engine here [1].
Another difference to this article is that it did not report back to the client as the events were delivered via web hooks.
There are some different approaches here and there which come from making it application specific, e.g. we added a periodic reconciliation check.
I also built a debouncer into the queue to give special treatment to burst in the load.
Gameplay wise this is super basic and has been done endless times before. It looks like a "hello world" of games, so maybe focus on bringing either quality or novelty.
It does not even have to be successful. After getting repeated feedback about my strengths as an entrepreneur and how it is not a good fit for that position, I am now toning that down a lot. YC advertises that funding a company is always good career choice because even if you fail it will be good in your CV. But my experience so far is that many companies see it as a red flag.
Gaussian splatting does not use neural nets. It runs an optimizer on the Gaussian splattering parameters. I think in your comment you are talking about Neural Radiance Fields (Nerfs).
Ran into a bug where a double tap zoomed the page and it broke the game as I could not zoom out again. Unfortunately it does not save the progress in a cookie.
I also had an issue that restarted my computer and found the hard way it doesn't save. Using localStorage to store the state is simple enough, unfortunate that it doesn't.
