JSON Patch 2 years ago

What about auto-formatting the json and sorting all keys, to create some kind of canonical form? Then we can use standard textual patch.

Genuinely interested. What problems did you have dealing with the standard reconciliation mechanism provided by ArgoCD and by k8s itself. I understand the advantage of the operator approach, but it might be hard to show the state in ArgoCD and somewhat breaks the idea of gitops.

Can we benefit your project in a more limited but agentless way? Limiting the types and CRDs we allow in k8s makes operations better, especially with the aggressive upgrade cycle that k8s already imposes.

This is a problem for me as a language learner on mobile. I set a keyboard with (for example) Russian, and suddenly the world looks Russian, even though I am far from comfortable in it yet. I wish there were a way for the browser to ignore some system languages. This is worse for apps because I also get served with localised versions, where I need to uninstall, remove system language and re-install.

In some restricted environments (e.g. containers in CI, build servers or AWS Lambda) you may have limited disk space or no write access at all, so it is useful to have a tool that can stream to memory while decompressing on the fly, and discarding what you don't need.

The ancient Roman concrete was very different from modern: it was more thick, could not ne poured etc. But more importantly, it had no rebar, which is the main thing that corrodes over time. Ancient buildings could use molten lead to join together pieces of stone, but steel could not be made in the volume needed for reinforced structures.

The goal is to define a datatype by cases, where one can add new cases to the datatype and new functions over the datatype, without recompiling existing code, and while retaining static type safety (e.g., no casts).

Isn't this made moot by the prevalence of static linking or fat binaries in go-land?

Nuclear appears to be the only realistic contender. But the mission architecture of Artemis goes around the problem by having only short stays on the lunar surface.

Even with nuclear, it can be far safer: small reactors need less containment. There is no risk of fallout without an atmosphere, and no ground water to contaminate.

Still, relying too much on it and failing (melting down) will put in danger the whole human space program. For low-power unmanned applications the RTG remains unbeatable.

Maybe start scaffolding first. Split up the docs into standard sections: who this is for, what it intends to describe, level of detail (marketing, executive summary, runbook). Then fill in the sections at the level needed.

That one had some fundamental problems due to the choice of graphite moderator. Another selling point: the ability to refuel while the plant is running also did not pan out. In the end these reactors had somewhere around 50% capacity factor, compared to more mainstream designs that used water (light or heavy) at 90%. They are also being decommissioned early, again, due to graphite cracking over time. That said, it's not unfeasible to imagine these problems being ironed out in the end, but rollout coincided with the Thatcher Era, which deprioritized industrial developmend and fundamental R&D. It was not a good deal to buy one of these 1st gen UK reactors, compared to a GE/Westinghouse LWR/HWR.

Besides just cost, the engineering constraints can be lower by making designs less complex and easier to do, also, faster. Free delta-v or smaller size constraints, as well as more predictible pricing. Or, 2 for the price of one, or, split up instruments on multiple spacecraft. Reusable spacecraft are a little like that :)

It's easy to have standardized setups, even immutable and rollbackable ones. What isn't so easy is troubleshooting when things go wrong, especially with many moving parts.

It's better to have a simpler, dumber system due to less things that can go wrong.

Do you have a particular thing for which you'd like "sysadmin in a box"?
