Correct, the workflow's guarantee to always complete executing independent of process/hardware failures is dependent on the database not losing data. You host your workflow code with Temporal's Worker library, which talks to an instance of the Temporal Server [1], which is an open-source set of services (hosted by you or by Temporal Cloud), backed by Cassandra, MySQL, or Postgres. [2] So for instance increasing Cassandra's replication factor increases your resilience to disk failure.
Sometimes I'm not sure what the point of these Mercator criticisms are. GDP per land area is kind of more interesting, in that if you have a lot of land, but not much money, then there are probably a lot of desolate or lawless areas. https://ssz.fr/gdp/
> The bill will not flood our cities with immigrants,” lead supporter Sen. Edward “Ted” Kennedy (D-Mass.) told the Senate during debate. “It will not upset the ethnic mix of our society. It will not relax the standards of admission. It will not cause American workers to lose their jobs.”
Why not just break the ships up in Western countries then? For Western countries to impose their safety and environmental regulations on other countries is denying them their sovereignty. The whole system of growth of nations and their economies is built on the fact that developing countries don't have to play by the same rules until they want to, or they have something to lose (in a reciprocal fashion, like with IP rights). In a trade regime, they're supposed to be punished when they engage in mercantilism, not self-sacrifice.
It should also be obvious that maintaining two households is significantly more expensive than one. So excepting the cases where both parties reconstitute a household, these folks are on average poorer than their married counterparts in societies with minimal divorce. Further, the rate of failure to pay full child support in the US is high, like over 50%.
I built my router and NAS from NixOS. It was a mostly pleasant experience. Being able to sit in an IDE on my laptop, and build up a server, incrementally pushing changes to it, with rollback if necessary, was great, and I wouldn't want to go back to anything else.
I wrote about the router here. It's pretty heavy on router stuff, and my own thoughts though...
Wow that is cool. I have been wanting to build both a router and a NAS and run nixos on them since I run nixos for everything else I do. Thanks for writing and sharing about your experience!
Deploy-rs is a great alternative. It works as wrapper on top of flakes, local (optionally, cross-) building and copying closures to target machine with activation:
One thing nixos-rebuild doesn't get you is a secrets transmission mechanism. I've been dabbling to build something independent of NixOS/Nix that would still do that neatly...
I'm finding that if I'm willing to wait a month, I can get the same crap From AliExpress for half the price. But if you know what to search for, you can find quality goods, VESSEL screwdrivers from Japan for instance.
