I am tired of PDFs. They should have a dedicated website for presenting C++ proposals so everyone can comment and discuss. Reading Github issues are more enjoyable than reading PDFs.

Yes ORM let me write plain SQL. But most time I find painful is the session management inside ORM. When does it decides to flush the query, and how it terminates an idle connection. In async mode, how does it add locks? When I try to customize the connection pool, and then all pain drives me away from ORM.

This blog helps me a lot about the motivation and underlying mechanism of python asyncio https://tenthousandmeters.com/blog/python-behind-the-scenes-...

Thanks a lot, I'll check that out.

hmm. why are Lua arrays 1-index based?

Because arrays start at 1, offsets start at 0

Arrays are just a sequence of objects.

Indexes (traditionally) start at 1, offsets (measures from base) obviously start from zero.

good enough for Rome

How is it different with minikube?

minikube is a VM basically. This emulates thousands of nodes on your laptop so you can test like how your operator you are developing performs.

how is it different than `kind` ?

(Disclaimer: I haven't looked too much into this tool other than a cursory glance)

It seems this tool isn't meant mostly for testing how different components behave under different scenarios and/or load. This is probably particularly helpful for custom controllers or operators. What happens to your controller if it's constantly reconciling 100k pods? What about 5k nodes? Something else? If this tool makes creating a "loaded" cluster easy, it's definitely handy. Would have saved me some time doing something similar a few months ago.

`kind` is like `minikube` but using docker containers instead of VMs, but as the page says "was primarily designed for testing Kubernetes itself".
