Kubernetes "secrets" aren't actually...well...secret. They're stored unencrypted in etcd with no ACLs. You must go outside the Kubernetes system to do this.

If I control a physical cluster of machines end-to-end, I might consider Kubernetes (because I don't have any better options and doing the work to actually secure it is probably less work than my alternatives), but it's also one of the reasons--though far from the only reason--that I couldn't begin to consider k8s if I'm running in AWS or another cloud environment.

Energy is not the problem.

The parent says a "stronger ligament" was a solution which is a question of Force. AKA if the only limit is really the forces acting on that tissue how much stronger must it be. Clearly at some point if you strengthen that part of the system then something else will become the limiting factor.
I'd say there are subjective and objective indicators of quality, and that just because a lot of people like it doesn't make it a quality product, at least from a certain standpoint. Bud light is not a quality product from a flavor or obedient standpoint, but in terms of price, consistency, and marketing it's great.

But as someone who knows something about ice cream, I'd say B&J is a relatively high quality product. They use mostly good ingredients and that used to be very rare of nationally distributed ice cream.
>* I do not agree with a lot of the premises of the literature---- But that being said........It works! *

From the article:

"Lance Dodes, a retired psychiatry professor from Harvard Medical School, looked at Alcoholics Anonymous’s retention rates along with studies on sobriety and rates of active involvement (attending meetings regularly and working the program) among AA members. Based on these data, he put AA’s actual success rate somewhere between 5 and 8 percent."

According to that, about the best you can say is that "it works when it works", which isn't saying much. I'm glad it worked for you, but the fact that for evey one of you there are 10 who go back to drinking doesn't do much to recommend the program as the legally mandated cure-all it currently is.

>Almost 200 years ago that discerning observer of social life, Alexis de Tocqueville, wrote about the exceptional ability of Americans to form voluntary associations and, more generally, to cooperate in solving problems that required concerted collective action. This capacity for cooperation apparently lasted into the post-World War II era, but several indicators suggest that during the last 3-4 decades it has been unraveling.

>In these articles I argue that general well-being (and high levels of social cooperation) tends to move in the opposite direction from inequality. During the ‘disintegrative phases’ inequality is high while well-being and cooperation are low. During the ‘integrative phases’ inequality is low, while well-being and cooperation are high.

With economic inequality only getting worse [0, 1, 2] I can't help but wonder if there is also a decline in open source contributions? Or do our contributions increase because it provides visibility, and therefore increased economic opportunity, for those lower on the income scale?

"Two network layers?!?"

Hah, yes and in the real world we do far weirder things than that. VXLANs running over [whatever], OpenVPN inside IPSEC and then ssh or RDP inside that. Obviously you don't do all of that routinely but I've seen some crazy shit to work around something or link up odd setups. I have seen a triple nested VPN: IPSEC within IPSEC and OpenVPN inside. I'm sure many here will have seen similar or worse.
With an arduino and an LED, it's simple to test the limits of one's perception. Copy one of the hello world LED blinking programs (basically a square wave to a GPIO pin) and modify the frequency of the blink. I see a rapidly blinking light around 15ms period, and a solid light around 10ms period. To me that implies that my human sample rate is about 12ms, although there could be other factors at play, such as capacitance in the circuit.

"Why didn’t it melt? According to Sean O’Keefe, a professor and food chemist at Virginia Tech, the more cream—meaning fat—ice cream has in it, the faster it melts. Nonfat ice cream takes longer to melt than fatty ice cream because it has more water in it.

“More water means the ice cream will have to absorb more energy before it can melt. Also, low-fat ice creams tend to have more air whipped into them, which allows them to keep their shape longer,” according to an article in the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette summarizing O’Keefe’s explanation.

When asked about its ice cream sandwich’s stubborn refusal to melt, Walmart gave a different, slightly less profound explanation: “Ice cream melts based on the ingredients including cream. Ice cream with more cream will generally melt at a slower rate, which is the case with our Great Value ice cream sandwiches.”

Walmart’s Great Value ice cream sandwiches contain corn syrup, guar gum, and cellulose gum—all ingredients that could also contribute to their failure to melt. Häagen-Dazs ice cream doesn’t have any corn syrup or “gums of any type,” said WCPO.

For the record, according to the FDA, it’s safe to eat ice cream with corn syrup and those “gums”—though maybe not after it has spent 12 hours in the sun."

300 baud --> 1200 baud. Now there was a noticeable difference.

And yet, many years later, I had an impossible time explaining to a the more pointy-haired end of a large development division, why IBM Rational products might not work so well when accessed from halfway around the world. (They are/were very "chatty" between client and server, and the cumulative latency of all those round-trips simply killed you.)

Latency's still a sticking point, and a lot of people don't understand/believe it until they see it for themselves.

P.S. It may sound like I'm talking about something else -- apples and oranges. But no. What I mean is, in many domains, people don't get latency until they experience it.

I suppose that decades ago, that typewriter was just fine. Until you got fast enough. Then, as the stuck key mashes and/or other physical limits started to cap and impact your performance, you realized what people meant about "better" mechanisms.

I wonder whether in some cases, people like musicians have a better natural perspective on it. Domains where it's more readily apparent and dealt with.

Sorry, my mind's a bit all over the place, today...
Apparently not. They say the ice "is not organized into neat layers", so they have approximated the age based on potassium and argon concentration.

Though it doesn't mention what potassium and argon have to do with age. Short explanation, anyone?

Edit: to clarify, even if you ignore all the household issues to deal with (eg "electricians" saying "what's that third wire for" is common) Thailand is number four on the most dangerous places to drive list. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/travel/maps-and-graphics/most-dan...

Outside of Bangkok, the following are just accepted norms for driving:

• no seatbelts

• no child seats

• ignore stop/give way signs/traffic lights

• drive the wrong way on the side of the road (applies to vehicles of all sizes)

• no understanding of how roundabout works (enter without looking, force existing traffic to stop for you)

• drive at 150kph+ on a 90kph road

• ignore marked turning/straight lanes, cut across non-turning traffic to make turns at intersections

My business lawyer in Thailand?
Guessing it was something like an Agfa photostat camera. We had one of those at my first job. We used it both for making camera-ready art for ads (we were a tiny business) or positive film to send off to the PCB house to get boards made.

IIRC, the film was standard Kodak 8.5x11 size negatives and the processing was pretty simple. I would do everything from initial tape & wax puppets to the final artwork. Not what I expected to be doing in my first engineering job, but it was fun.

I took a printmaking class sometime later. I think the litho "stone" is made photosensitive and etched, but that aspect of the process is fuzzy. Most of the class was about positive prints and I spent most of my time doing intaglio and lino block printing.

Just compare two guys: One lives in a country where his personal purchasing power is much much higher than in his home country and his ethnicity signals a high status and value to locals as well (e.g. American in Thailand).

The other guy lives in a super expensive hub with high competition and just finding a flat and paying the rent ia already a huge challenge (eg some guy in New York or SF).

I could imagine that the first guy will degenerate over time (like animals in the zoo) while the other one has to fight night and day for everything and gets thougher.

I can't help but think that since he's measuring his own perception at the ms level - for a new program he's written himself - that it would be easy for unconscious bias to creep in. To really know the truth about whether latency matters in this case, a better experiment is probably needed.

Not that I think he should bother doing this, I'm just being the fun police. :)
What is the practicality of this tho?

I've sailed with a guy who had a Pactor modem + SSB radio + frequency thingy + one of the rigging cables made into 11 meter antenna.

Yes, it was cool AF from nerdy standpoint - calculate propagation and you can dial anywhere in the world. But also it's a huge investment. IIRC Inmarsat gives you all-you-can-eat (apparently the spectrum gets quite saturated in some areas quite saturated) matchbox sized modem that connects to your iPhone for $100 per month.

You'd have to sail for many years to break even and probably have worse experience all the time.
Yes, but then it will need a server side component and an actual server (unless you set it up as some kind of peer to peer thing).
Latency is the reason I just can not use some editors, most notably Atom. You get used to it after a while, but it's not fun.

I remember when I used IntelliJ's product line for a good while and then opened up Vim. I was dumbfounded that I somehow had not noticed that IntelliJ was slow. It's fast enough - not Atom - but Vim was amazing next to it.
It's not like I'm the only one adding papercuts to the stack. ;)

From the top of my head, each keypress goes at least through the keyboard driver, X11, possibly the window manager, the terminal, the line discipline, the terminal again, font rendering, compositing, and then display. It only takes one of these steps to mess up for latency to go up.
> The trend seems to be for languages to have forward inference of types within functions, while declaring them in function definitions. Assignments which initialize a variable also implicitly declare its type. C++ started this with "auto", but it's really because programmers had become used to dynamic languages where assignment set type. Go and Rust both do this.

Note that this is quite different to, and simpler than, HM inference. It doesn't require unification like the article describes and is something all statically typed languages practically have to do anyway: even with full annotations, validating `T x = f()` (or equivalent) requires type checking the `f()` expression to see that it actually is a T. And thus, this style of "inference" can be gained by simply not requiring the T type to be written and just taking the result of type checking `f()` as gospel, and is what C++ and Go do. (There's a bunch of subtlety/complexity for this in C++, but that's due to C++, not this form of "inference".)

Proper HM (or similar) type inference will use information from how variables are manipulated after their declaration to decide on the type, and so is more than what's already done for the purposes of type checking. This is what Rust does, breaking the supposed trend.

Every time I've tried to use OpenBazaar it's been a real mess. Not the "unpolished open source project" kind of mess but the "why the fuck did you think that would have been a good idea?" kind of mess. The very first time I went to use it the ".config" file just automatically ran sudo and one of the OSX package managers (whichever one I didn't have installed.) If I had typed my password into the password prompt (which appeared with no explanation by the way) it would have really messed things up.

The idea seems neat, and potentially empowering. The implementation is pretty lacking though.
I won't speak for others, but I discarded the idea of ever using Ceylon when I learned that Gavin King was involved with it. I won't go into why--a simple Google search will easily allow people to make up their own minds--but suffice it to say that I don't find him professional enough to rely on a project that he leads. For something like a language, where you have to invest a significant amount of your own time and energy into using it, the people behind the language and the community around it are hugely important considerations.
I don't really know how to eliminate my own biases here, but a quick test shows that the new prompt feels very much like the old one if I add a little latency manually:

PROMPT="\$(prettyprompt \$?)"
PROMPT="\$(sleep 0.04; prettyprompt \$?)"

With the second one, I can always see a frame or two where the cursor is already on the next line where the prompt will go, before the prompt actually shows up.

That reminds me of another thing that I noticed. My vim gets really sluggish (as in, 1 fps and worse) when I have a Firefox window on the other screen showing a Concourse pipeline [1]. If I change to a different tab, vim is suddenly fast again.

An issue I have with make is that it can not handle non-existence dependencies. DJB noted this in 2003 [1]. To quote myself on this [2]:

> Especially when using C or C++, often target files depend on nonexistent files as well, meaning that a target file should be rebuilt when a previosly nonexistent file is created: If the preprocessor includes /usr/include/stdio.h because it could not find /usr/local/include/stdio.h, the creation of the latter file should trigger a rebuild.

I did some research on the topic using the repository of the game Liberation Circuit [3] and my own redo implementation [4] … it turns out that a typical project in C or C++ has lots of non-existence dependencies. How do make users handle non-existence dependencies – except for always calling “make clean”?

Which is about par for the course for the "blank slate" side of the debate.
and brief HN discussion from about a week ago https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14994630
No one wants to manually do dependency management in even a moderately sized project. I really haven't found an ideal way to have these -MM -MT flags integrated into Makefiles; I've tried having an awk script automatically modify the Makefile as the build is happening, but of course the updated dependencies will only work for later builds, so it's only good for updating the dependencies. Any other approaches HNers used and really liked?
Thank goodness. I can only hope they're incompetent.

You know what? We should build one. Right now. Otherwise someone else will. If we become the defacto standard, we can at least have some controls in place. You might argue that would disqualify the implementation, but network effects are very powerful. eBay is still eBay.
