Partially self-serving post because I'm also published here:

https://deis.com/blog/2016/cheapest-fault-tolerant-cluster-d...

Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be an index of the posts on one page! There are links to relevant posts on the sidebar and both of those have good relevant links.

These guys I worked with for a long time, to get my post out! It kind of stung a bit when the v1 PAAS was officially deprecated before I got to put it online. But in terms of support, the newer solutions are only better. The lessons learned putting this post out are still valid, even if the specific product of the tutorial is no longer relevant. (I used this process to create my own CoreOS bare metal cluster, and I don't actually use DigitalOcean in my day-to-day work.)

But the other content on the blog really was a good, focused introduction to Kubernetes and friends for me. Deis is the team that created Helm and it was subsumed into Kubernetes (and Helm Classic, which was another iteration before it was part of Kubernetes proper.)

CS, EE, MechE, Physics.

When you say "others" it's helpful to convey the distribution. Overwhelmingly, STEM has better gender parity than CS. And MechE might be the only STEM field worse than CS.
For every major success story there will be thousands of failures you don't hear about.

I've not been able to update my NVidia drivers ever since they started doing this. I don't allow outbound connectivity from software updates, nor from Nvidia, nor to any telemetry sites. This blocks Windows Update from updating drivers and also blocks the NVidia official driver update packages.

I can not find a .zip file on their site that has only the drivers.

In my opinion, not everything needs to be turned into a social networking site or a gaming up-sell site. Certainly not driver updates.
It can act as a reverse proxy, yes. I would also love to see some performance benchmarks.
Didn't see annyone saying it's a result of Trump mabey you are just looking for somethign that's not there? But one things for sure. When POTUS flat out says climate change is a hox and dsn't get called out, we are in trouble.

But uber drivers are not employees. So Uber really can't tell them what to do.
My apologies.

But it is a reference to my earlier sentence where I add: "If they break the law, then they get punished. But its their private property."

The point I am making is that I think its better to leave someone's private property, than to stay, when there is a dispute and there is the threat of physical confrontation. They have more claim to kick you off than you have to stay when force is involved.

I am talking about before we know who is in the right. If I trespass on someone's property that I believe I can rightfully be on, and they threaten to physically remove me, I will leave, and get the police to remove them. If someone trespasses on my property that they claim they have a right to be on, I will make them leave with force if necessary, and then they can get the police to remove me.

I think its sensible to default to the owner in these situations.

But I agree its a weak point and if we examine tenancy laws then it definitely doesn't universally hold well. But a good rule of thumb.

I think this stems from the idea that smart people are having less children in those countries, not that those countries have smarter people. Who do you think is more likely to have 7 kids, an engineer or an unemployed person in rural Alabama?
You know what I want? A lemon law that states that major appliances need to run forever. Literally something that says, "This device must run without professional service for 25 years." Forget energy star stuff, 100Kwh saved a year is meaningless because we can always optimize powerplants. Stop building disposable 100LB metal boxes that have to get scrapped and thrown in a landfill. If the device fails earlier than that, the company has to replace it and pay a large fine for producing faulty equipment (larger than the profit from the device by an order of magnitude).

Then just allow people to rent the devices (which would obviously cost more) rather that have to buy them outright.
So far I'm loving Caddy. Super simple to configure, and the auto management of SSL certificates is magical. However, for all of the simplicity, they are still pretty resistant to properly packaging it up in the repositories. By far the longest part of getting it running, is the stupid manual configuration of launch daemons, working directories, and permissions. For software that prides itself on dead simple management, the basics of getting it into a package manager should not even be a discussion.

With that said, I 100% moved all of my sites from Nginx to Caddy after the config file setup is around three lines per site.
Respectfully, why are you framing this as a question? You don't need anyone's permission to observe that prejudice is an important moral issue --- and the only people who would answer "no" to your question don't sincerely acknowledge moral imperatives in the first place.
Your view needs to be deliberately myopic to seriously believe that a woman's life in a modern first world country is somehow more unfair than a man's. If you're seriously going to play this game regarding fairness of life in general, consider the immense disparity in social and especially sexual capital that women generally hold over and use against men. Not to mention the unspoken preference with which they're hired and retained in the work place.

If you insist on looking at this as an us vs them problem, then most of the remaining problems are self imposed-i.e. the primary ones limiting women from playing with male toys, or going into stem, or dressing in a certain way, are other women. Such is culture.

Edit: my comment has been flagged for daring to espouse the wrong opinion. This is how progress dies, when discussion is stifled. This is, ironically, bias. Why do people believe that moderating unpopular viewpoints makes them disappear?
I have a master's degree in CS, and I feel the need to do this too. Use it or lose it. Problem is you only use bits and pieces of what you learned here and there, not enough to remember college level math.
My favorite example of survivorship bias is the US Navy's statistical analysis of returning WW2 planes to determine what parts of the planes received the most damage from anti-aircraft fire.

The idea was to selectively add armor to the areas most likely to get hit.

But by analyzing returning planes, their sample excluded the planes that were lost.

So the better strategy was to add armor to the areas with the least damage instead.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Survivorship_bias#/media/File:...

Now I see survivorship bias everywhere.

Retail chains improve their comparable store sales metrics not by actually increasing sales, but by closing stores with declining sales.

Money managers and traders with the highest performance often have no special talent, they're just ones who survived.
Exactly. Programmers are seen as a low status. Many of us did it despite that because we really liked it. Or perhaps we were so socially clueless that we didn't noticed it. Women in general are better at getting those social clues. Anyway, it turned out OK for us. But it would be better if we had more women colleagues.
I've been doing this as a "wait for queries to run" kind of brain game. I don't think it's embarrassing. I don't think we emphasize "back to basics" in enough areas of life, except when we hit a wall after failing to achieve what we meant to and more often than not B2B solves the problem.

I don't think so.
It's a lot easier than ngxinx + letsencrypt + cron job - there is zero config to get letsencrypt up and running and certs renewing automatically.

It supports http2 out of the box and will keep improving as the go net/http library does, performance is good (certainly good enough for 99.9% of the static sites out there, I haven't specifically benchmarked against nginx but response times didn't change much). I'd recommend it as a proxy if you need one, particularly if you need one that handles your tls certs.
The account was probably automatically flagged by some algorithm 3 years ago. Yay for smart machines and no human oversight!

Of course wealth is a zero zum game, because being wealthy is defined as having much more than others, disregarding the absolute amount. This is how we humans work, we compare us to our neighbors.

So 1) not everyone can be wealthy and 2) for a single person to become more wealthy someone else gets poorer.
I asked that in an interview with Netflix, why they were building their own vs open source. The answer I got was "It doesn't work at the scale that Netflix operates" , not quite sure what that means but I didn't press him further.

My mom always told me I'd need better Math grades to become a programmer.

Since the 2nd program I ever wrote was a script to do my math homework for me, I laughed at her.

Then I failed to pass the first year of CS bachelor. Twice.

I am very glad to see this most excellent book here, and will add it to my collection.
I'm not opposed to learning, but it's like learning emacs when nano legitimately covers all your use cases: potentially useful, but unconvincing ROI. And if we pretend for a moment that it's really only a quarter hour saved, why would I not save that time if all other things are held fixed?

Caddy isn't the universal solution, but it sounds like you're rationalizing using the more complex tool because you know it and have been using it rather than because it's necessarily superior.

I think that 18 year olds in general (there are obviously exceptions) don't necessarily have a good idea of what they want to do. Looking to cultural norms, and asking "Can I see myself doing that" is probably not uncommon in the filtering process of selecting a major.

This seems like a decent survey of the topic (major selection by incoming students), with some references to a few studies at the end.

https://dus.psu.edu/mentor/2013/06/disconnect-choosing-major...

'In contrast with the evidence that first-year students are most likely making uninformed choices when determining a major, the common four-year curriculum path colleges and universities use assumes that students enter college prepared to make a decision regarding major and, ultimately, career path. Unfortunately, the reality is that students are most likely not developmentally prepared to do so.'

There's nothing unique to women here.
That was a feel. I never thought of the idea of embedding it. Thanks for teaching me more!
FYI: Even slow websites can have a perfect pagespeed score.

PageSpeed score is not a measure of website page loading speed, it's a measure of how well you follow best practices.

And a 1s page load using full page caching and cloudfront to the nth degree is not what I call fast!
This very true.

Women or Men, most people I know who go into non-STEM fields sooner or later have to negotiate with the fact there is nothing special going to happen in their lives forever.

Here in India some people even believe its rather better to be a plumber or an electrician than do non-STEM degrees. Former helps you develop some skills. Compared to getting a degree in commerce and finding your whole education could be replaced by spread sheet macros.
Then you want to use a different language. Java for example throws NullPointerException instead of having UB for null pointer accesses.
Hi Bashtoni, will this CentOS AMI be your fork (as an individual contributor) or will this be the official CentOS AMI on AWS Marketplace?
yes let's put it into perspective.

Yes the Linux kernel was developed ~25 years ago. Linux is not an operating system it is a kernel. Gnu/Linux distributions have several desktops, depending on what part of the world you are from, etc...

Linux hasn't hit the desktop market because you can not just go to a store and buy one.

The problem is availability, the Average Consumer does not what to buy something, and then alter or modify the product as soon as they get home.

To most people computers are entertainment devices. They just want it to work. They just want to buy one.

The reason that Microsoft, Apple, and even Google (chrome books, android) have hit the market share is because they realized the formula of be a hardware company first, software second.

Yes Microsoft has a cartel on Hardware, as they got all vendor companies to make hardware for them. It's like MacDonalds being a real estate company and not a burger flipping company. They take their money off the top of the hardware vendors. They have created a ecosystem that is endless cycle of upgrade. The Cost of ownership of a Microsoft ecosystem is quite expensive over the long term. They have developed a system of hooking users with the home/personal lines, that have forced business to purchase their products.

I should also point out that, Android (Linux kernel) has the largest market share at the time of writing this. Personal computers are changing to things that fit into pockets.

The average consumer is not going to want a desktop or a laptop anymore. As that their use case of just being entertainment devices.

If Gnu/Linux wants to compete for smaller the professional,Gamer,power user desktop/laptop markets. There needs to be a Hardware company to champion it, (Like Dell) that will put it front and center at the Wal-marts/best-buy's/Fry's of the world. So that we can just go buy one.

Remember the superior product is a matter of perspective. Which is the superior product? The product which is perfect, barely breaks, and is fixed quickly if it does. Or the product that has flaws, multiple ways to break, crash, etc... only lasts a few years.

It all depends. To the salesman the one that breaks of course, so we can sell more of them. If it does not break I can only sell it once.

So... long rant short; until we can just drive to the store and buy a Linux PC off the shelf and start using it . There will be poor market share, and we'll fighting to FUD at the work place.

Black or white for bg, white or black for fg and gray for comments and strings.
I was reminded of that talk when I saw the comic, and surprised to see the comments debating the influence of luck and effort in life outcomes.

Both media are making the same joke, but I don't think anyone would feel a need to defend effort if they had seen the talk instead of the comic. The talk's beat-for-beat parody of the just-so success story paints a very clear and recognizable target.

Nonsense. It's perfectly plain that the message passing micro kernel architecture and superior userland design of HURD will lead to it's inevitable supremacy.
I think that's excessively reductive and there are other differences, like incontrovertible proof there is no Santa (as opposed to merely a lack of evidence), the fact that Santa often has the exact same handwriting as Mom and Dad, the fact that no supernatural powers are attributed to him and yet he would need them to do what he supposedly does, etc. Besides that a debate about Christian apologetics kind of takes us away from the point I was making.
Yep, I said what I said in the OP because my sister (11) asked me if I had snapchat (to which I replied no, but then grudgingly signed up).

Had she not been using it I would have written it off as confusing UI and "what's the point."
If you're non-resident in Canada, you only have to pay tax in Canada on Canadian-source income. Unfortunately, yes that includes a pension.

To be non-resident you have to spend at least half the year outside the country and have no residential ties to Canada like property, dependents, bank accounts, health insurance, etc.

The world would be a drastically different place if people were rational.
Ground beef has 0.26 protein to weight ratio, while pinto beans have 0.22.

About 440g of pinto beans for $0.8, so about 120g/$1 for protein.

Ground beef according to Google factoid was $4/lb in mid-2015, so about 30g/$1 for protein.

It sounds like beef is already an expensive source of protein.

Juicero CEO Begs You: Do Not Squeeze Our Juice Bags
The problem is the inane assumption, which is now taken as a fact (without rigorous substantiation) that any male heavy gender ratio is a result of bias by white men (not even necessarily the majority, mind you, we simply ignore fields where women are over represented).

Not to mention the conflation of equality of opportunity with equality of achievement.

In our society it has become a taboo to even consider that stratification by gender and/or race of achievement could possibly be related to group wide differences in behavior or ability. This is, ironically, causing immense bias in modern culture; but it seems bias is OK when its the en vogue kind.
>Dotson gets red in the face, repeating that scientific studies showing climate change as affecting weather patterns or warming the Earth are simply wrong.

This godly redneck can tell yearly temprature average fluctuations by 0.1 degrees, and using it as anecdotal proof that climate change is a fraud.

It'll be interesting to see what happens next and whether Microsoft will put effort into closing this loophole. If so I think it reinforces the idea that this hardware check is an attempt to force upgrades to Windows 10, not just a "we're choosing not to support this platform" decision.

That really depends on how you measure gender equality and general freedom though.

You're just being too judgemental though. If a family is wanting for nothing and they agree that one parent should stay at home to spend more time looking after the family, why not?

And I suppose it also has to do a lot with how much leverage employees have against their employers. Those of us in tech have more leverage on average than, say, a hospitality worker.

It's a lot more nuanced than I had initially thought, for sure.
Not to be dense, but don't understand your argument.

You just listed how Ethereum is a sizable tech stack and still growing and then suggest that it will eventually get simpler - after it has more users, after there is technical lock-in.

That seems contradictory to many working projects. Perhaps it is complex? It's a reinvention of almost the entire web stack.
"Bailout" generally means you paid off some group of people by taking money from taxpayers. In this case, the only person who lost money was the thief. I'd call it a recovery of stolen funds.

I was not invested in TheDAO but supported the fork mainly because (1) to anyone who's not a blockchain purist, if you can recover a stolen $50M you obviously should, and (2) it was early days, and the precautions the contract authors should have taken were undocumented and basically unknown to the community, so I thought more leeway was justified. Even the official documentation had similar flaws.
If more developers had a second look at FreePascal/Lazarus [1], they'd realize they could do pretty much the same thing, but with native compiled speed, minimal memory usage (no bundled JREs) on all the desktop platforms.

It's graphical GUI builder is out of this world, and it works flawlessly on all three desktop platforms. It did even compile without a single code change on windows, after I finished coding in ubuntu, a utility tool for some researchers in my organization [2].

And about the language ... I finished my utility tool project in 80 hours, from initial concept to happy customer, while learning the language in the process.

It is really such a shame that people have so strong aversions against Pascal, for no good reason other than subjective feelings.
