Takes a look at pipeline that builds image in gitlab, pushes to artifactory, triggers deployment that pulls from artifactory and pushes to AWS ECR, then updates deployment template in EKS which pulls from ECR to node and boots pod container.

I need this in my life.


Out of curiosity why do you use both Artifactory and ECR? We're currently considering a switch from Artifactory to ECR for cost savings reasons.

My last projects pipeline spent more time pulling and pushing containers than it did actually building the app. All of that was dwarfed by the health check waiting period, when we knew in less than a second from startup if we were actually healthy or not.

How would that feel as a traveler? Does all motion slow down to a crawl, all sub-atomic particles just "freeze" and essentially your thoughts and body aging too? So it would seem like you got there in an instant?

For sure you're not just sitting there watching people get born, live and die in second and shrugging your shoulders.


You’d feel nothing out of the ordinary whatsoever. The starscape outside the ship would look strange though, shrinking into a small, blueshifted patch of sky straight ahead, while stars behind you would redshift out of the visible range. Everything moving at very low speeds relative to you would indeed appear to happen really fast.


What are the chances of hitting a small meteorite or part of it, traveling now at relativistic speeds wrt you?


There's about one particle of dust per million cubic metres. c is about 300 million metres/second. So even at 0.5c that's still a lot of particle collisions per second, each having significant kinetic energy.

Basically it would be like flying through explosive sandpaper. Each dust particle would be reduced to plasma, which creates problems of its own.

If you're accelerating there's also the Unruh Effect, which will raise the perceived temperature. By a lot.

There's no way to make this work with any kind of engineering we know about today.


The Unruh effect is theoretical, and no evidence at all has ever been found that it's real. It literally exists as nothing more than a hypothetical mathematical model, that also happens to be debated by others who know enough to effectively debate it, and disagree.


Micrometer-scale specks of dust would hit you like they were armor piercing tank gun rounds. The usual shielding proposed is ice. Lots of ice.


Why ice?


Mostly that it's plentiful, ablative, expendable, plus good radiation shielding (yeah, cosmic ray protons are really going to mess things up at relativistic speeds too unless there's enough mass to stop them).


Extremely low. Space is very empty.


It's one of those cases where you have very small numbers multiplied by very large ones. The actual risk is hard to intuit because there are so many orders of magnitude involved in both directions.

In any case it's probably a moot concern as long as we are living under the twin tyrannies of Newtons Third Law and the Rocket Equation. Building a rocket that can accelerate constantly and noticeably for weeks, months, or even years on end in order to accelerate up to a velocity where Relativity starts to matter requires an absurdly large rocket. Like converting the mass of Jupiter into rocket fuel to make it to the next habitable solar system in a couple of centuries level of craziness.


But it's also very big, and GP doesn't even specify how far of a trip they're asking about nor how small a meteorite.

"Extremely" and "very" don't cut it here. This is beyond the human ability to guess. You'd actually do at least some back-of-the-napkin math to give a real answer, and with a far enough trip, the answer may well become "Almost 100%".


And at a high enough speed, the impacts from the ~1 hydrogen atom per cm^3 in interstellar space become a major problem.


How far a trip: maybe start with the nearest star.


Micrometer-scale dust particles would in fact hit you all the time. And they’d absolutely mess up your ship over time without a lot of shielding.


zero if you hit that spice first


If the light behind you redshifts out of the visible spectrum, would the light in front of you blueshift into dangerous territory? X-rays, gamma rays, etc?


Yes, and this provides a nice intuition about the relation of wavelength to energy. But x and γ wavelengths are several oom shorter than visible light, so you'd have to be traveling at very close to c to experience that amount of Doppler shift.


Yes. To some degree.


Cue LLM-driven generation of garbage research to release as "useless" so I can deduct actual research.


it's in the name after all: [j]ava[s]cript [o]bject [n]otation


Just the other day I went to a website to flash a new firmware on a zigbee dongle. Straight from a chrome tab. wild!

Then it hit me: the only thing keeping a rogue website from sweeping your entire life is a browser's permissions popup.


Crazy right? On the whole I think it’s great and wonderful that the web platform has grown into the gorgeous monster that it is. I mean what better than a unified technology to serve us all the worlds information from any device in a basically sandboxed environment. I’m even all for the beautiful way The platform has developed rapidly added capabilities on how the language JavaScript HTMLNCSS has evolved. I think all that is wonderful. And I really enjoyed the ride.

But all of that growth and integration comes with these vulnerabilities, and so the cyber and DLP control aspect of web browsers is a very important one.

If this resonates with you, i invite you to check out my company’s project BrowserBox on GitHub


so "vibe coding" is the term to use? I have to say for a me, as a non-native english user, it sounds .. weird. Can't take it serious. I think of Kai Lentit's videos everytime I see it.


Honestly I hear you on this one. But the market has really taken up "vibe coding", so it's been the easiest way to clearly communicate to people what Memex does.


a bit off-topic: Are you running a single boiler and if so, how are you mixing UFH with radiators given there's a ~20C difference between the recommended temps for the two?

My knowledge is that for UFH you run at temps between 40-50C and radiators run at 60-70*C.


UFH has mixing valves, so it runs on 38 C and radiators run on 55C. Single boiler.


With the appropiate butterfly wing flap everything is deterministic.

(looks at laptop running a Node app hosted in minikube running on Podman in WSL2 in Windows) of course. easy peasy
