iPad is the happy path for parents I've found. Zero support calls, just the occasional "This is spam, right?" question.

Yeah, they've had so much VC cash pumped in lately they really need to pump the SAAS side of the business.

We also hit scaling problems with temporal.

Postgres doesn't scale at all four our workload, so you're into cassandra.

For a medium sized deployment, you're looking at 200+ vcpus, and then lets say standard dev/uat/prod. So now you're at 600 cpus. Now you need two geographic regions, dev can stay in one place, so now you're at 800. Want a failover cluster for prod? Have another 200 cpus.

and 200 CPUs is a medium deployment, assuming something like 36 cpus per cassandra node, then say 4-8 per instance of matching, worker, history, frontend. Then all your other components around it, ingress controller, service mesh, etc.

There's a million a year easy, for a small deployment.

Our prod one is 4x this size.


I like it too, is it available for download anywhere?


Hell with lombok it’s not even uncommon to have entire classes with no defined functions at all. shudder

If anyone is considering using a computer like this, I'd recommend OpenBSD for it which genuinely has one of the prettiest console fonts.

It just ... Looks nicer..

Yes, I'm sure you can configure the others to look nice too but shrug OOTB is pretty nice.


what are the names of the fonts are they using?

i found something here, but i am not sure if these are the right ones: https://cvsweb.openbsd.org/src/share/misc/pcvtfonts?sort=Fil...


Those are fonts you can load with the vga driver. Anything recent will load with the drm driver (intel, amd) or framebuffer. This emulates a text mode (rasops) on a graphical surfaces (vga has dedicated text mode), and for that they use spleen.

https://cvsweb.openbsd.org/src/sys/dev/wsfont?sort=File

https://github.com/fcambus/spleen

And yes, it’s quite nice.


awesome, thank you. i remember vga vs framebuffer, and the time when linux made the switch. i was there, many thousand days ago. i might even have recognized that had those files mentioned vga somewhere in the path or contents.

spleen looks good. i am using gallant right now which is based on the old sparcstation console font: https://github.com/NanoBillion/gallant


I've been wondering if I can somehow get the Toshiba Satellite VGA font back to today.

I developed tinnitus on one side after covid, anecdotal but it slowly went away after I started taking a b complex daily, apparently it can promote nerve repair.

Not totally sure I fully believe it; but it seemingly worked for me.. shrug


how long before you noticed a change?


A long time. Like 5-6 months. So I'm not convinced it's totally related. Kinda risk-free to try it though.


Yeah, I’d pay for this too. And a book. :)


Yeah, I feel ya man. It’s a weird time to be in tech when it often times everything feels like the last years of our work are now instantly reproducible.

I’m not sure i wanna stay on the ride much longer, at least in a corp setting. I guess i don’t have much of a choice.

Thanks for Jepsen, though, it’s made a couple of my applications much better in ways I wouldn’t have managed without it; even if I have to relearn clojure every time I pick it up, and those applications resulted in real jobs and careers for a bunch of people. It’s not going to pay for your house, but it’s all I’ve got.

hugs.


wow 170 euros on amazon.de :/


So, is it 170€ good?
