That sounds amazing. Which IaC tools are you starting with? Do you pull metrics and logs from the AWS/GCP APIs?

This is one of the best WASM-based web UIs I've seen! What was the hardest part of getting your desktop build working via Emscripten?

New comment by atroche in "Ultima VII: Revisited"

This is awesome, keep up the good work! Have liked and subscribed =)

After this section…

> Ultima VII was in development from 1990 to 1992 (shipping in April ’92), and even though software 3D was taking off at the time, it hadn’t been designed as a 3D game (even though it used a 3D world) and that contributed to its issues.

> But software-rendered 3D games with isometric perspectives started coming out very soon after Ultima VII, and every time I saw one I thought, “This is what Ultima VII should have looked like.”

…there are clips from three games: Dungeon Keeper (June 1997), Myth II (Dec. 1998) and Grandia (Dec. 1997). Not sure if that really counts as coming out 'very soon' after Ultima VII!

One key, one base_url config, one billing account. If you like to mess around with many different models it's very convenient.

Yep, but a float is more useful than a bool for tracking progress, especially if you want to answer questions like "how soon can we expect (drivers/customer support staff/programmers) to lose their jobs?"

Hard to find the right float but worth trying I think.

Hah, I actually came to this comments thread to link to this. I had a similar experience with my SO!

Possibly meant in the sense of Blue Tribe / Red Tribe from here: https://slatestarcodex.com/2014/09/30/i-can-tolerate-anythin...

But maybe it's just more generally red as euphemism for conservative (b/c of how political maps are coloured in the US).

There are costs to creating and enforcing regulation, and then more costs if it needs to be rolled back (say, if there are unforeseen downsides to it).

What was the thought process that led to this solution? Did day 24 remind you of some other problem you'd seen before?

New comment by atroche in "Use forums rather than Slack/Discord to support developer community"

atroche — Tue, 09 Nov 2021 01:40:00 +0000

Yep, have recently had some troubles with provisioning two relatively new products (Redpanda and Materialize), and both of them relied on Slack communities and it's really not an experience I enjoy or find helpful.

But was it being "propped up" two centuries ago?

atroche — Thu, 23 Sep 2021 22:53:17 +0000

How does the reactivity work with Datomic? Is it polling those queries? Or I’d it listening to the log of transactions and figuring out when relevant parts have changed?

Fwiw they consider themselves a weekly newspaper, not a magazine. It's been more than a century since they were focused on economics.

Wow, excellent work. Love how much effort has gone into the readme.

There was definitely a gap here and you filled it :)

New comment by atroche in "Feds say Yale discriminates against Asian, white applicants"

atroche — Fri, 14 Aug 2020 03:22:43 +0000

Would be interested to see if Asians whose families have been in the USA for many years get in at different rates to e.g. immigrants or the children of immigrants. It would indicate that perhaps Yale et al. really do care about "personality", and aren't just being racist.

I'm sure you (OP) are aware, but just in case others aren't: Clojure stands out as a Lisp that embraces laziness.

Yeah, if the CCP had evolved into the liberal democracy people were hoping they would (in the lead up to 1997, e.g.), then Hong Kongers would not mind so much.

I'm guessing they mean USSR- or CCP-style totalitarianism.
