I think the single biggest mistake people make with Kubernetes is implementing it too soon. Last company I worked for spent piles of time fighting K8s when a simple well implemented cluster would have done the job.

It makes a lot of sense to build portable infrastructure, but you can scale a long ways with much simpler technologies.

Bill Gates seems to be an expert on just about everything, or so he believes.

It seems that when you're very wealthy, pundits and talking heads always want to quote you.
Because if it's Bill Gates you say Bill Gates.

It's Bill Gates, or 'that other guy'.
Caveat: may not include an awesome trackpad driver.
Not OP, but the dystopian part about it to me is that it’s essentially a few corporations pooling their money together to buy a law that overrules one passed by elected officials. The previous law was one that could be iterated on and improved. Instead, we now have something equally (or even more) imperfect and unlikely to change.
Yes. By contrast, for example, diabetics have a 30 times higher risk of needing amputations than the general population, 30000% percent higher.

Getting a flu is a risk that most people don't take any precautions for. Meanwhile we are severely restricting freedoms for everyone in part because of fear mongering about "long term effects" of covid. The vast majority of people would not see a 1.5 times higher risk than the flu as a serious risk.
True, C++20 also comes with great library additions that are not the subject of this blog post but affect (possibly to an even greater degree) the code attributes in question.
I'm surprised no one mentioned you should start by reading chose FI https://www.choosefi.com/
Any general advice on how to find a writing group, for intermediate writers that are past the beginners stage? I'm thinking of people that are perhaps beyond the nanowrimo and fanfic stages, that are comfortable with dialogue and characterization, that can string together some fun scenes and short stories, but aren't published writers.

I personally have been having fun over the past year writing a branching novel with some friends. I know I've personally written more than 50k words with all sorts of characters and twists and turns and satisfying conclusions, but I feel like I'm plateauing. I've thought about joining one of my local meetup.com writing groups but I get the sense they'll take anyone and I'd rather be the weakest writer in the room. Well, maybe second-weakest.
https://www.businessinsider.com/barack-obama-slams-call-out-...

> Former President Barack Obama derided "call-out culture" in a speech at the Obama Foundation summit on Tuesday, saying achieving real change was more complex than being "as judgmental as possible."

> "That is not activism," he concluded. "That is not bringing about change. If all you're doing is casting stones, you are probably not going to get that far."
> except for a small circle of language academics

I'm sorry but can we stop hating on "academics"? No one in research matches your description. The intersection of academia and C++ contains only practitioners (like in the industry), who just want their code to work; and maybe some verification people who'd rather wish C++ was smaller because it is a hell of a beast to do static analysis on. Both these categories are real people having real use cases. The programming language crowd is generally more interested in stuff like dependent types or effect systems, not templates.

> soft academic sand

shrug.
> I’m curious, are there any SPAs that aren’t done this way?

For…enterprise reasons…the SPAs I’ve worked on in $DAYJOB use apis hosted in a separate subdomain (and, therefore, origin) than the page itself, meaning we have all the CORS headaches. But, certainly, segregating by path rather than domain is a lot more convenient if you control both the page and the APIs it consumes.
This is one advantage of smaller teams -- the hardware and software people can communicate needs more effectively, like the importance of tactile controls. From threads like this I think the mistake the industry has made is prioritizing "hands-free" (and mechanical parts reduction) when what we really need is "eyes-free".
https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/italy-elderly-coronavirus/

> Claim: Italy has stopped treating elderly coronavirus patients due to "socialized medicine."

> Rating: Mixture

> What's true: Italian health care workers who are overwhelmed with COVID-19 cases could be faced with decisions about allocating limited life-saving treatment to those with the most likelihood to live longest upon survival.

> What's false: However, Italy hasn't abandoned elderly patients to die. Instead, Italian health care workers, when faced with more patients than available equipment and capacity to treat them, may possibly be forced to prioritize treatment of those with the highest likelihood of surviving long-term.

The egregious (and slimily political) claim that Snopes needs to refute is that this is due to "socialized medicine." It's not, it's really due to a simple lack of capacity.

"Free market medicine" wouldn't do any better, it'd just prioritize the wealthy instead of the young, leaving the poor to get worse (or no) care and potentially die.
I've struggling through a shit load of issues and I'm now quite convinced half of these are a matter of belief.

The feeling is almost a communication sign to get care from others in order to diffuse the fear. The minute you exchanged with someone caring enough for you, distress goes down 50%.

When you're in deep depression, this system is distorded and you can't exit the pit with simple talk. But the truth is, ignoring your emotions at this time proves helpful. It's almost insane and puts your intellect through a lot. But I think that's the basis of "don't feel sad". You have to believe that the rainy day will fade, harder than the distress signal running in your mind right now

my 2 cents.
Yes, it simulates the hypothesis that future markets are unknowable. Which would indeed be begging the question. Unless of course you find that whenever you apply technical trading to a Monte Carlo market, you get the same results as applied to real market history. Then you show that the signals technical trading uses are not actually predictive.

At any rate, if the market trends upward and trading is close to random (regardless of what the trader believes) then being out of the market occasionally will always be bad statistically. If there are vast numbers of traders all actually acting randomly then some will out preform others and some tiny number might out preform the market. In fact, if you have the data, you can plot the performance of every trader against the market average and actually measure how far from random the average trader is.

Maybe price to earnings ratio "should" relate to stock price. But in actuality stock price is determined by what people are willing to pay for it obviously. To the degree that people are buying and selling _not_ based on P/E, say for example they are doing so somewhat randomly, then the P/E won't reflect accurately the stock price: it won't be predictive.

These hulking paragraphs is what the demo is basically saying.
My most recent Orwellian moment was reading about an old heuristic algorithm with high complexity that has been abandoned as the middle ground between a simpler heuristic and much more complex ones because of its computational complexity.

The problem as I see it is in how they represent the data in a way that makes one think of linear algebra. Refinements brought the naive original implementation down to cubic time, and the literature, as far as I can tell, stops there.

But here’s the thing, when I tried to unpack the logic to figure out what is actually going on under the hood, I realized that a quadratic subproblem could be restated as a sorting problem. Sorting is very much nlogn these days, if not lower due to radix sort being an option.

Which means that this heuristic has the same computational complexity as the naive solution. I’m not saying I’ve discovered anything new, except perhaps that this algorithm is homomorphic to another one. It’s just that it’s so stuck in one representation that you can’t see it for what it is unless you stare pretty hard at it.
Economics textbooks takes on price controls are very different from price gouging controls, as they operate on different time scales. Price gouging controls are much more likely to prevent shortages than cause them, as they prevent market manipulation, which is another topic that economics textbooks have some good takes on.
It is not good reporting, though. What new information is being brought to light? Brave makes it clear they generate revenue via ads, and this is an example of an ad.
I’ll also suggest nuts. Plenty of fat, and lots of varieties.

Personally, a handful of salted peanuts, pistachios, walnuts, or almonds. According to the package, 1 oz (28 g) of walnuts are 180 calories, and 18 g of fat.

Very filling.
I hope you realize that working from home when possible is great for the climate but in no way solves the global warming problem. We need to go carbon negative in the next few decades. You don't achieve that by having some fraction of the office workers work from home.
Windows 10 + WSL is a dramatic improvement over the experience on Windows 8 and earlier, but it just goes to show how good things could have been all along if Microsoft had ever committed to making a Windows package manager.

(1) There exists a blockchain-based, decentralized DNS lookalike: https://handshake.org/

(2) Every major OS has has a way to plug an alternative DNS resolver (except maybe iOS), and every major browser has a control to switch off the DNS-over-https resolver. With any goodwill from the major mobile OS vendors, a new resolver could be rolled out to 99% of consumer devices or so, and work transparently.

(3) A new name resolution system should not clash with the DNS namespace. It could allow to copy established DNS domains (not parked) to the new namespace for a nominal fee.

(4) Many DNS tricks, like load-balancing, could go away. Running your own name server can become harder. The transition, should it occur, would not be fast.
Ah that's good to hear. I have heard some model years of Audi were notorious for reliability, maybe coinciding with the dips in VWAG quality in general, but they are one of the few makers of station wagons selling them in the US anymore and I might seriously consider an A4 or A6 wagon...

I think maybe a lot of their bad rep came from the all road "Air suspension" era...although the simple fix was to install regular shocks/springs.

I agree with a lot of this: hooks and context removed a lot of the need for Redux, but it still has its advantages.

The only nit I have is when the author states "To me, cached data isn’t really global state - it’s just cached data", using a common "list view with an edit button". Having to refresh the table after an edit happens, even though you've already been handed the new values from the server, feels like a DX/UX regression for something that was pretty easy with Redux.
>We can afford to lose the last few minutes of work without anyone getting yelled at. Some modern virtualization technologies do help a lot in this regard. Running bare metal you need to be a little more careful.

How does virtualization help with data loss? I would expect that a VM can't have guarantees better than the underlying physical hardware provides.

Those do target an entirely different class of devices / applications.
> The problem is that there isn't any wear leveling happening at all, so if you have an event that happens at every boot up and is logged, it wears the same block every time.

This isn't true. Very nearly all eMMC devices have hardware wear leveling. They aren't like MTD (raw flash) devices or very cheap USB/SD where you have to rely on a block remapping layer or special filesystem because there is no hardware wear leveling. But like any flash device, when they are completely full there are fewer free blocks for the wear leveling to operate. Tesla also may have had them grossly misconfigured, but I haven't seen any evidence that it was anything other than good-old-fashioned log churn on a very full filesystem. I also understand Google kind of had them over a barrel with policies related to the caching of map data and aerial imagery too: since they could not retain this for very long, caches were constantly invalidated and the same data was being redownloaded over and over. At this point, I don't even think they cache map imagery to storage anymore.

Regardless of the technical details, it's clear that Tesla gave little consideration to this problem during design and did even further damage by wasting their small remaining space by filling it up with Elon's glorious vision of fart sounds, fireplace videos, and games -- Which are great fun, not gonna lie, but in hindsight a terrible decision that greatly exacerbated this problem.

I'm not a professional embedded systems person by any stretch, but I was watching out for this problem even in my hobby projects back in the 90's which used early flash memory products like DiskOnChip modules. To this day, I still buy SSD's that are a minimum of twice as large as I think I will need for every application? For things like all-flash SAN I double it yet again. Anyone who would like to understand why can look at my fat stacks of dead Intel SSDs that all died basically because they filled up. My point is that this sort of thing is really well known and there must have been hundreds of times people within Tesla had questioned this internally.
Nicely done, Techcrunch!
We've already (in America) got so many basic support programs, I don't see a problem with accepting Basic Income. There's food stamps, housing assistance (20% of Americans!) and free education already.

This.

Assuming the compiler will generate good SSE code for the Intel CPU is a joke. If you write intrinsics for one arch, write it for both.

I'd bet money the Intel side could be made 2.5-3x faster with proper SSE intrinsics and maybe 5-6x faster with a Haswell i3 using AVX (SandyBridge doesn't have the cache bandwidth to fully utilise AVX properly).
Yes, it is valid. To quote Tantek:

In my opinion you should usually not code for DRY when the repetition is "accidental," only when it expresses a principle from your domain (your "business logic"). Sharing "ip" between "iphone" and "ipod" seems like a perfect example of accidentally DRY. I think your colleague is trying too hard. Code should be boring!
> Asking a VC to determine whether or not there is a VC bubble is like asking a mortgage broker or real estate agent whether or not there was a housing bubble during 2006.

Except he's the person dictating the flow of money. It's more like a housing buyer saying there's good investments despite signs of a bubble.
It's not for the dead. It's for the survivors. Many people want a place to gather, pay their respects, and create a tangible connection to their loved ones. There's no theoretic reason why it has to be an individual headstone (versus more dense monuments) or even an outdoor headstone setting (versus cremains in an urn or scattered in a meaningful place) but don't pretend that it has anything to do with the dead. It's a ritual for the living.
For me middle class (in america) would mean:

- Being able to buy a house with a yard an hour or less away from work.

- Being able to buy the amount of cars needed (1 to 2 cars on average).

- Being able to afford groceries/health insurance/school for everyone in the family.

But I know this is pretty random, it's just my idea of middle class.
Have you looked at a map in the last, oh, 200 years? Utah is not flat.
> IMO, React doesn't bring much to the table in this regard while adding a lot of complexity and heft.

Strongly disagree with this. In any complex web application with a lot of components, specially ones where a lot of fixed components can live for a while, React is definitely a massive improvement over vanilla JS or something like Backbone which allows wild west.

Imagine state coming from sockets, rest APIs etc with updates being either pull or push. A user might do an action which changes the state in some other component, keeping track of the components gets hard if the state is distributed. Also, centrally managed state with things like Redux allows for good caching of API data which can make a SPA considerably fast.

While I love plain HTML pages which need little or no JS, a lot of applications are better as SPAs.
>Michael Brown supporters/witnesses made claims about that situation that were later shown to be false.

"made a reference to a woman’s testimony who claimed she had seen the shooting of the black teenager by the white officer, but she “clearly wasn’t present” at the scene. McCulloch reportedly said that the woman “recounted a story right out of the newspaper" that backed Wilson’s version of events surrounding the fatal shooting that occurred Aug. 9."[1]

"Most of the dozens of witnesses who testified likely did their best to describe what they saw, but a review of thousands of pages of grand jury documents shows that untrustworthy testimony came from some witnesses on both sides." [2]

He railed against the breathless descriptions not the languages themselves. I still agree with his put-up-or-shut-up position, and with throwing cold water on hype. My trade is engineering, and while I like whimsy as much as most humans, I will fight it when precision is critical.
Kotlin/Native is a special snowflake that by being built on an incompatible memory model with the JVM, now has been forced back into the dev board as the amount of issues kept pilling up.

You cannot just pick a random Java library, even if pure logic code, one of the Kotlin FFI selling points and use it with Kotlin/Native, if it wasn't originally written with Kotlin/Native memory model in mind.
Funnily enough, this has nothing to do with Zig... People will flag this because you simply can't challenge Rust, the poster child, where it's due; You have to understand that such thoughts are deemed almost "counter–revolutionary", i.e. the fight against the unsafe, evil, dirty hegemony of C/C++ must continue at all costs.

Who wrote a text is a different question from whether or not the text was copied accurately.

Before the printing press, scribal errors could accumulate over time. It was a fact of life for every religious group that their own copy of a sacred text had at least a few scribal mistakes, and methods were developed to identify and correct errors. I cannot comment on Christian or Muslim approaches, but among Jews it took centuries to develop a sufficiently reliable system of detecting and correcting scribal errors to give us an acceptable copy of the Hebrew bible (the Masoretic text). One of the reasons the Dead Sea Scrolls was such an important discovery is that the Hebrew texts discovered there are extremely close to the Masoretic text, which confirmed its reliability.
It's important to realise that you can't compare your rent with your mortgage payments without factoring in a lot of things. The rent you pay includes things like taxes, insurances, upkeep, depreciation, risk and opportunity costs that your landlord has to pay while still coming out ahead. And he has to deal with all the administrative things too. So if you're a homeowner yourself, ask whether you're still coming out ahead carrying those costs yourself, plus the risk that something around your house breaks, plus the risk that your home might lose value for another reason, plus the opportunity cost of your down-payment not being invested otherwise (e.g. stocks). At the end of the day, it depends on the location and how far apart the purchase prices have diverged from rents. With the current economic situation and low interest rates, house prices where I live have mostly broken away from rents so significantly that it doesn't make any sense to buy from a financial standpoint.

I hear you about the "paleo" fads, but in this case I think spending so many hours sitting in front of a computer, without taking breaks or exercising your muscles, is genuinely bad.

What's wrong with an adjustable desk that lets you change postures to whatever you feel more comfortable at any given moment? I know I wouldn't use it in a standing position all the time, but maybe some of the time?
