From less than 2 weeks ago: "How MongoDB Atlas’s Forced Upgrades and Support Policies Drove Us to PostgreSQL" [0] -- TL;DR: MongoDB lost a $50K/yr Atlas contract due to the way they do things.
You can always find pain points and issues in a lot of things (if you look hard enough). Unless there are no users I doubt any platform doesn't have blogs / articles with a list of complaints with people migrating away (this would have resulted in a monopoly).
It's a balancing act.
I did say it was a good hosted option - not the best but at least decent. There are definitely a lot of worse options out there.
These stories are always short sighted or only paint part of a picture. Years later (there may be no followup post) but they may have a different list of complaints from self-hosting. It never stops, does it?
FYI, the term was first used in Britain in 1750, according to the term's Wikipedia page[0], which discusses how the term was used in different countries in a neutral way until about 1860 in Germany, at which point it was used in a more antisemitic context.
That's not likely to be a problem since these days every board game has a number of instructional videos (and that's in addition to video reviews, which typically show how a game works, though not in as much detail).
From the Leo Frank Wikipedia page [0]: "In modern times, despite strong evidence pointing to Frank's innocence, the case has become a modern focal point for neo-Nazis and anti-Semites. This is partly because it led to the creation of the Anti-Defamation League but also because it fed into anti-semitic conspiracy theories claiming Jewish control of the media. As a consequence, in recent years a number of websites have been established by white supremacists disputing the prevailing consensus of Frank's innocence."
Just a reminder that HN's official "Who is Hiring?" post is put up on, or about, the first of each month. So the September post should be up by next Tuesday at the latest (i.e. assuming it's postponed till after the weekend and the Labor Day holiday).
Every time I read about Nomad, I wonder the same. I swear I'm not trolling here, I honestly don't get how running Nomad is simpler than Kubernetes. Especially considering that there are substantially more resources and help on Kubernetes than Nomad.
Well, for starters, you don't have to have your apps containerized to work with Nomad (though it can handle containers as well as executables).
But for some deeper details, I'd suggest checking out the comments in this reddit thread[0] (as well as some of the linked articles therein).
E.g. From a comment by /u/Golden_Age_Fallacy: A great use of Nomad is on reduce the burden of on-boarding a team(s) of developers who are unfamiliar with cloud native deployments / systems(even containers!).
Nomad jobspecs are very simple and straight forward, as compared to the complexity and pure option overload you get in k8s and helm.
From /u/neutralized: It's much easier to use than k8s. Easy to setup, easy to manage, much more shallow learning curve. Nothing super fancy. Just works. I migrated a startup I was at off of a self-managed k8s setup to Nomad a few years ago and they've never looked back.
From /u/esity: My team is currently building out a fully automated nomad cluster service offering internally(fortune 10)
It's super awesome. Easy. Little headache. Integrates with consul and vault. We are literally planning to replace thousands of vms for K8s with nomad. Containers are faster, more resilient and writing hcl is actually fun once you learn it
Now, there is a rather more lengthy comment, by /u/thomasbuchinger, that goes through the pros and cons he experienced in trying Nomad out and his conclusion is that, while he wouldn't discourage anyone from using it, "k3s and a few well-known simple projects give you 80% of Nomands [sic] features. Are as easy to operate, afford you more options in the future and have a ton of documentation/tutorials...available."
There are more comments in the thread and again links to a bunch of blogposts/articles/etc., including one from fly.io that seemed pretty detailed, discussing the Googly origins of both k8s and Nomad (fly.io used Nomad but found that it wasn't the best fit for them, which is also discussed in their post -- actually, I'm going to put the link to their post below[1], since I think it is worthwhile).
BTW, for anyone interested in learning more about Lisp macros, Paul Graham's book about advanced Lisp programming, On Lisp, covers the topic pretty extensively and it's freely downloadable from his website:
And then LoL: https://letoverlambda.com/
I started to read the book years ago but it was too wild for me. I should give it another try. One of the so many things I have to read.
"Ungart’red, and down-gyved to his ankle" -- seems pretty clear that it means something to the effect that his unfastened stockings have fallen down to his ankles, no? And the context seems clear, that Hamlet's clothes are in disarray, as is his emotional-state.
> "Ungart’red, and down-gyved to his ankle" -- seems pretty clear that it means something to the effect that his unfastened stockings have fallen down to his ankles, no?
I think we'll have to agree to disagree on whether this is "pretty clear" or "only passably comprehensible due to the surrounding context". It's hard for me to consider something "pretty clear" if I could replace one of the words with actual gibberish and the meaning wouldn't change to me; "Ungart’red, and down-barboodled to his ankle" is equally "clear".
