The trickiest part of decoding protobufs blind is how embedded messages and strings have the same tag type, but that's pretty easy to handle.

You can write a simple protobuf decoder in a couple hundred lines of code if you don't want to pull in the full protoc dependency: https://github.com/kubernetes/test-infra/blob/master/guberna... https://github.com/kubernetes/test-infra/blob/master/guberna...

Advanced tip: have a way for approved contributors to re-trigger CI. For example, Kubernetes, Kubeflow, and minikube use a tool called prow to run tests. Prow comes with a prow-bot that can accept different commands, automatically tagging issues or rerunning specific tests. Not for small projects, but this can alleviate maintainer headaches caused by trivial busy work.

It started as a small inside joke, but kinda just blew up. A bunch of us really loved UGG (which, if you haven’t played it, still highly recommend it even if you aren’t normally into video games), and as some of us have been known to do, take jokes a little too far/literal. A plug-in for the Kubernetes was built (https://github.com/kubernetes/test-infra/pull/14587) that posts goose pictures on command. Then there were some contests/activities put together at our contributor summit that were goose-themed.

Here's a minimal Python protobuf parser that can extract basic information in about 50 LOC.

However, we have much better tools now, such as high availability clustering, distributed architectures, middleware proxies, protocol-level support for temporary failures and retries, mature caching systems and fault tolerant hardware and software infrastructure. So it's practically not as hard as it once was, because if you've got your ducks in a row you can use a proven method or get fallbacks for free.

Between Plan 9 and Erlang we missed a bus somewhere.

In a sense, we have the printing press, but people are still illiterate.

How about China?

IMHO the problem here in China is the politicization of education and media which denies individual ideas and experience from the earliest years, illogically burdening children with unnavigable quantities of take-home homework and suffocating the analytical thought and independent curiosity that are so critical for research and development. It is as if no research in to pedagogy occurred since the 1920s, and individuals still belong to a numbered local production collective, except that now it is titled a "Number X Middle School". They literally give out little flags to children as young as pre-school, it's full on nationalism every day here.

If you like snippets in text consider the unix fortune tradition, I maintain https://github.com/globalcitizen/taoup which produces bitesized memes in glorious ANSI color. Some startuppy, mostly software architecture/design focus, some more broad anthropology/history. Aim is a high signal to noise ratio and consistently inspirational/curveball thinking.

Rights have to be regulated in to existence or actively fought for. These days the populace is so zoned out on Tiktok and home delivery the chances of a popular movement are precisely zero unless toward a new TV serial.
