jmoiron plays the blues

@jmoiron Its execution environment (k8s) is like an operating system, sure, but it isn't like a computer. This is why "it's like libc" feels off, too. When I write a libc program, I don't use libc for control flow, logical comparisons, arithmetic, etc; I get to use C for that.

@jmoiron You can't encode logic in YAML. If you want to do something repetitive, you must create repetitive YAML. You don't use a loop, or refer to another value in "memory".

@jmoiron I get that "YAML is assembly" in the sense that it's a low level representation that we want to abstract away, but the qualities that enable us to do that with assembly are missing, and this is why the comparison is a frustrating fallacy. https://t.co/7DkzGOG9eJ

@jmoiron RT @adamhjk: That's not a Chef problem. That's just the way it goes when the "abstraction" we build is fundamentally just a syntax anti-cor…

@jmoiron @thepbnjay Might need to mimic the physical layout of a group in space and then model how sound would work based on volume and visual cues. I feel like directional output is probably there (eg. dynamic atmospheric sounds in games) but maybe not mics? I have no expertise in this...

@jmoiron A big difference between remote and in-person is the way groups work. A 6 person group can be 1 large conversation or 2-3 smaller ones in the same physical space. Zoom et. al work for 1 speaker, but I'd be interested in software that better enables the 2nd case.

@jmoiron @chimeracoder @jhscott afaict this has not been true at all at any point in the last 3 years; when the president says something outrageous the his supporters rally and repeat it in an attempt to normalize it

@jmoiron Makes me wish I was still temporarily displaced into Avalon Bay Clinton. Support your locals, they make your neighborhood what it is. https://t.co/DuofktC3I6

@jmoiron Looks like Turntable Live was 7 years ahead of its time, @billychasen

@jmoiron Great, now in a few elections time we're gonna have Cuomo running for president of COVID-19.

@jmoiron Well, looks like not everyone agreed with my blog post on iterators :3 https://t.co/inxWjoQivB

@jmoiron @clofresh Okami but you're a boar

@jmoiron I wrote about different approaches to iterator types in Go https://t.co/BaMPjf2P3X

@jmoiron @Jay_AHR_ @goinggodotnet I think those that didn't lack it to begin with will understand where I'm coming from ;)

@jmoiron Engineers discovering the benefits of mechanical sympathy should give human sympathy a shot.

@jmoiron .@billychasen has had a lot of great ideas... and @startbotnet (https://t.co/YLsKfGxQRT) is definitely one of my favourites. Just wish I had iOS devices.

@jmoiron This has been an oft cited and very elegant example of composition/embedding in Go since forever, but I've come to consider it an anti-pattern most of the time. It's nearly always better to expose a concurrency-safe API than impose upon the caller the burden of correctness. http...
