Trump Sanctions Venezuela Oil Company PDVSA, Pressuring Maduro

exactly, there’s no conclusion, it’s been almost three decades.

It’s nice to have a different ruling party every few years and not just every three decades like in Venezuela(so far).

Maybe Venezuelas want to give their oil to another 3rd-party that is not Iran, Cuba, Russia or China for a change.

This post feels written by AI, but something caught my attention.

But they made one technical choice that would haunt them forever.

They built it on Solaris. Developers wanted Linux.

Recently I’ve seen how TrueNAS Core(FreeBSD-based) is being replaced by TrueNAS Scale(Linux-based)[0] and they ended up with an unarguably better product.

Meanwhile Oxide picked Solaris over Linux[1].

I vaguely remember what it was like to work with Joyner Public Cloud, but it was all an abstraction over APIs just like the Oxide rack, but in terms of GTM speed, it seems like Joyent lost some momentum trying to replicate what AWS found in Linux coming from Xen.

Oxide knows what they’re doing and they have some smart folks over there, however, I still consider a bold move not to pick Linux these days.

Rust can cross-compile, yes, but is not as seamless. For example, Rust can not cross-compile Windows binaries from Linux without external support like MinGW.

Go can cross-compile from Linux to Windows, Darwin and FreeBSD without requiring any external tooling.

the sentiment against Next.js seems to be building up. funny, this page didn’t mention Vercel once so this is all about the framework itself. I will continue using Next.js for the time being, but if I come across an alternative that doesn’t imply changing React for something else, I would consider it. I just can’t find any viable alternatives and React Router alone is not going to cut it for me.

that’s what I thought, but every single candidate I interviewed mentioned MongoDB as their recent reference document database, I asked the last candidate if they were self-hosting, the answer is no, they used MongoDB cloud.

there’s one in ‘19 and a new one in ‘24, which Tandem are you referring to? I just checked and the one listed in this page is YC’19 it looks zombie-ish, both founders moved on quietly according to LinkedIn
