MinIO is not actually open source, their source code is just public.

The company I work at spun up a MinIO instance, and we got hounded by MinIO lawyers claiming we had to pay because "hosting MinIO alters the source because of injecting configuration" and therefore violates their open source license.

There have been multiple hacker news threads about this:

It's also not something that needs research IMO: Toyota has a Prius with solar panel option.

The hypothesis I have is that China has way more compute resources than they are willing to share.

Compute resources they officially should not access to given export bans, where mentioning them might lead to their export ban bypass getting rolled up.

They lost customer data, not source code. You shouldn't have a local copy of all user data on your machine.

I wouldn't call reactivity in Vue "fine grained". Every object that gets loaded into component state becomes reactive, and every piece of code that touches it gets dragged into a massive internal dependency tree.

Vue has blacklisted reactivity, everything becomes reactive (and observed) by default and you can opt-out, while MobX features whitelisted reactivity and is much more fine-grained

You're comparing a single EV that's light for it's class with a single gas car that's heavy for it's class.

Why not compare the 3 series (1800kg) with the electric 3 series (2200kg)? Or compare the Corsa (1094kg) with the electric Corsa-e (1455kg)

MobX is exactly what you're looking for: https://github.com/mobxjs/mobx

Vue works similar to React + MobX, but with weird design decisions like implicit reactivity, and a stale ecosystem thanks to the Vue2 vs Vue3 debacle.

New comment by Jasp3r in "Terraform should have remained stateless"

Jasp3r — Sat, 28 May 2022 10:39:25 +0000

Ansible and Puppet are for infrastructure automation across multiple VMs. Terraform is a way to declare cloud (native) infrastructure as code.

Ansible and Puppet are not used anymore because of the shift to cloud native, not because they are stateless.

Jasp3r — Sat, 28 May 2022 10:31:52 +0000

Why would renaming be impossible to solve by a stateless terraform? In a cloud setup with 3 VMs, and you rename 1 VM from A to B:

Measured cloud setup would have VMs A + X + Y

New cloud setup would specify VMs B + X + Y

You can easily identity X and Y as their names go unchanged, A and B would have similar config/metadata, instead of assuming A would be added and B would be removed you can ask the user if a rename happened.

This is not a new problem to solve by the way, this is how database migration tools handle column renames.
