I always felt the same every since I learnt about the company. Can't think of a more rewarding place to work at.

Good fit for coarse auth at the edge (who is this? what tenant? basic scopes, and so on). I’d still keep object-level/domain rules in-app. Fail-closed for auth, fail-open for observability is the right mental model. Biggest multi-tenant footguns are header spoofing + tenant-unaware caching. The proxy should own identity headers and include tenant in any cache key.

Appreciate that! That exact failure mode is why I went with out-of-process agents. A bit like Envoy's ext_proc filter. Sentinel treats agents like separate services (timeouts, circuit-break-ish behavior, w/ explicit fail-open/fail-closed choice), so a crash/hang in WAF/auth shouldn’t take the data plane with it.

Out of curiosity: when the nginx module bit you, was it mainly crashes, memory leaks, or latency spikes under load?

The closest to OpenBSD in the Linux-verse clearly is Void Linux.

Let me revisit my statement once I've read those chapters then.

Regarding your second statement, out of curiosity, I wonder how you would characterize the 1989 series of experiments done by Fleischmann and Pons.

The arrogance I mentioned is directed towards the people who think of themselves as appropriate to speak for the century-long success story of science itself while not really addressing (and understanding) how science emerged. Science as a human enterprise has flourished best without anyone putting boxes on what does and what doesn't consitute science.

Read the whole of his "science" series. You're going to be delighted to find out that he's really fond of analogies, golfing being a particularly fitting one.

What I find concerning about these discussions on what qualifies as science and what doesn't is the excessive arrogance displayed by some writers, as if they stand on the same esteemed ground as the countless individuals throughout history who have propelled scientific progress and shaped the technological world we live in today. Science is a remarkable collective effort of humanity, and it is crucial that we continue to allocate resources to this endeavor.

If anything, studying the history of science would open one's eyes to the fact that the methodologies and approaches that have resulted in a vast reservoir of knowledge have not followed a linear or consistent path throughout time.

There's a quote from his first blog post titled "A Clean-Sheet Introduction to the Scientific Method" that is unironically portraying science as a human endeavour somehow relieved of everything that made "religion" bad.

Let me start with the easy part: By "religious beliefs" I do not mean to imply that science is a religion in the usual sense. It isn't. Religions generally involve things like the worship of deities, respect for the authority of revealed wisdom, and the carrying out of prayer and rituals. Science has none of that, not because science rejects these things a priori, but because when you pursue science you are invariably (but not inevitably!) led to the conclusion that there are no deities active in our universe, and therefore no good reason to accept the authority of revealed wisdom, and hence not much point spending valuable time on prayer and ritual

Science as an insistution has all those hallmarks: worship, authority and rituals. I'm not trying to make a case for religion here, but wanted to point out the shallowness of the whole write-up. I wish these science preaching guys would actually engage in more science worthy attitudes and be a bit more humble in their holistic assessment of what does and what doesn't constitute science.

Anything goes! would Paul Feyerabend say.

I would posit that the ability to distil complex concepts into concise phrases is prevalent across various cultures and languages. Isn't it true for our Western idioms, like the popular 'YOLO' or 'Carpe Diem' (or even the very French 'raison d'être' itself)?

These terms, mostly void of any formal philosophical roots, are ways of defining and affirming the value of life within our linguistic and cultural contexts. Who's to say that future generations, whether foreign or native, won't feel a sense of novelty or exoticism in analysing these phrases of old, much like the discussion surrounding 'ikigai' today?

So for those who have an opencollective account, what are our options?

The latest Happy Hacking Keyboard Hybrid with its amazing Topre keys.

I just found this by accident on LinkedIn. No affiliation whatsoever from my part. Looks interesting. Does anyone know about quality?

They describe themsleves as "Discover the best tools for developers: A free weekly email digest of the best tools for developers."

This aligns well with the Cyberparadism aesthetic: https://aesthetics.fandom.com/wiki/Cyberparadism

Cyberparadism is a subset of Cyberprep and therefore of Post-Cyberpunk. The word is an amalgam of the prefix "cyber-", referring to cybernetics, and "paradism" as in paradise, meaning that a paradisal aspect has to be present within the cybernetic part of the aesthetic. The paradisal aspect can either manifest itself in literal terms as it would when representing a derivation of a Garden of Eden or the Elysian Fields, or alternatively in a more abstract way as a reflection of a utopia state of things. > It differs itself from Cyberprep insofar that not only the positive benefits of technological progress are a central tenet, but that said technological progress has reached a level of sophistication where the principles of economics and conventional labour are fundamentally transformed in such that the subjects at hand can and are likely to pursue higher goals of scientific, technological, civilizatory and/or spiritual fulfillment.

There’s also a manifesto for Cyberparadism: https://github.com/zarazinsfuss/cyberparadism-manifesto/blob...

We believe that technology can be a powerful force for good, when used in a responsible and thoughtful way. By harnessing the power of technology, we can create a world of abundance and prosperity, where all individuals have the opportunity to thrive and reach their full potential.

In a two-part analysis, the Swiss NZZ examines the shapes conflicts might take in the future – and what refugees, bots and viruses might have to do with it. This first part focuses on the mechanics of a hybrid operation plan. In the second part of modern forms of conflict, they examine how a pandemic may function as a line of operations and illustrate methods of influence.

While I think it does look good and seems to have a wide range of features supported right out of the box, what new does it bring to the table?

This looks very similar to LiveBook¹. It is purely Elixir/BEAM based, but is quite polished and seems like a perfect workflow tool that is also able to expose these workflows (simply called livebooks) as web apps that some functional, non-technical person can execute on his/her own.
