Are you using this in production? Any benchmarks?

Please move to Hetzner. If you miss payments even they might pull the plug, but at least they have humans who respond to emails and can get you back online quickly once you pay.

What an amazingly written piece. I was learning interesting stuff and chuckling alongside, as well.

Didn't get the closing remarks about Larry Ellison, though. Any explanation?

For the uninitiated, what's the issue with getting nix to work on M1?

What is a foot-gun? Ansible/Terraform, or the library approach that I'm describing?

Pulumi sounds interesting. Spent 10 mins with their marketing website and I'm not very clear whether it is a standalone set of libraries, or do they only work in conjunction with their cloud services. Do you know?

I've been sitting on the fence wrt Terraform and other such tools for quite some time now. After being _forced_ to finally write massive k8s YAML files (and ansible YAML files) for a consulting gig, I've been wondering whether these tools should be developed as _libraries_, that you glue together using a full-fledged programming language, instead of shoe-horning a programming language in YAML.

For example, could the following be library functions that you could glue together in the programming language of your choice: (a) get current state of infra, (b) calculate diff between desired state and current state, (c) perform a single step (safely) that represents a granular change in infra, (d) perform a series of steps representing infra changes with safe rollback?

Does something like this already exist?

I feel horrible whenever I end-up damaging an electronics product in such a way that repairs do not make any monetary sense. Mostly this is because the manufacturer doesn't bother in building out a healthy service network for their product because they'd rather force you to buy a new model.

If priced right, I'll buy this as my next laptop. And the next phone as well -- if they ever launch one.

What is this going to do to their Sendgrid/SES bill this month, I wonder!

Any Postgres implementation of this yet?

Low value comment: WTF is with the marketing copy? Red, AMD, Bull, what?!

Is this useful for long-term log storage? say, from a typical webapp (eg. Nginx logs, Rails logs, Postgres logs, etc)

Nitpick: At one place the article says that Ӧmir was imprisoned for seven months and at another place it says he was released after 20 days.

How different is this gradual typing from TypeScript?
