He said it’s a static page too… don’t even need a VM. He can just dump it into Amazon S3 and put cloudfront on top of it. Unlimited scaling across the globe, 1TB free of data transfer, free SSL.

Just Say No 4 years ago

I read somewhere that “the more you say ‘no’, the more you can say ‘yes’ to the things that are important to you.” I really like that and try to stick to it.

In my opinion Elon miscalculated the type of people at Twitter. These aren’t people like the ones in Tesla or SpaceX where there is some sort of idealization of Elon. The number of fan boys he has at Twitter must be super low. None of the Twitter employees signed up to work for him, it’s pretty obvious from the public tweets that most of the staff has posted that they don’t have much respect for him. On top of that, as others have mentioned, Twitter as a product doesn’t comprare to SpaceX and Tesla and just saying “we’re gonna build Twitter 2.0 the bestest thing ever!” Isn’t particularly motivating enough to give up your work-life balance. Elon came in to a place that already has a culture established… and the people that are there that know how much they’re worth don’t really feel the need to put up with his bullying “my way or the high way”. Props to the people at Twitter for sticking to their beliefs. I think Elon also miscalculated the importance of work from home. I assume a lot of the engineers have the “millennial” mentality of “I work not live, I don’t live to work”.

They’re pretty cool. If you find a nursery that has enough offspring you’re allowed to buy them. You have to fill out the paperwork, but at least that way they’ll remain to exist even if it’s in captivity.

that's not how /etc/hosts works. the domain listed in /etc/hosts (example.com) will point to 0.0.0.0 (or 127.0.0.1)... you'll never even make it to the server so you won't get the redirect.

Unless building a base image... doesn’t this just take away from the benefits of using docker? If I understand one of the primary goals of containers it to: create an isolated environment with quotas and restrictions to the underlying OS by using Linux namespaces and cgroups. However one of the great things about docker is that I can do FROM ubuntu and then anywhere I run my container I now have my app running in an OS that I’m comfortable with. So I can always run bash inside the container and apt-get whatever I need and debug it/experiment etc...

I understand the problem with docker image sizes. I worked at a company where we had a ~1GB image and our CI tool didn’t support caching of docker images so it would take a good 15 minutes to do a build every time. But when we were faced with the option of using another smaller OS, like alpine, we decided not do it because we would give up a lot of flexibility that the OS was providing us.

If you’re running a statically linked binary produced by go and that’s all you want on your pretty much empty image, why not just scp the file and run it manually under a cgroup? Or good ol choot/jails/zones?

vendor still doesn't work if your project is outside of GOPATH. The only thing the vendor folder is doing right now is precedence. Dep, the pre-alpha tool that is lining up to be the official dependency manager still doesn't work outside the GOPATH, hopefully they change that. The only thing that Go 1.8 did was add a default to GOPATH to $HOME/go.

In my ideal world, I should be able to clone a go project anywhere on my system, fetch the dependencies from the internet, yes the internet, because its 2017. (if you're that concerned with security fine, include them in your repo) but I should be able to call go build in that directory wherever it is.

Well they're listening... at least in the next couple of versions there should be an official dependency manager coming out. IMHO it's meh. They need to get rid of the damn gopath.

Another thing to add to your $10k education list, look at all the art classes in community colleges around the big expensive private art schools.

I got my BFA from a pricy private art school in LA. We were paying about $1250 a credit. The same teachers were also teaching at Santa Monica college for about $21 a credit. I was furious when I found out. I wish I would have known about that. So I suggest going to that prestigious school you want to go. Look up the classes and teachers, they might be teaching somewhere else for cheaper.

At my last job I had the chance to use OpenCV quite a bit. Every time I would discover new things in OpenCV my brain just fired off with ideas. I remember trying to write a blur function and then finding about integral images, that was awesome.
