Certain things are not possible. However, we try to match functionality as much as possible with localkube (and soon kubeadm).

Shared folders, especially using 9p and/or cross-platform have been an issue, and I personally also experience this in the fork Minishift, and this likely the performance issue you meant.

But back to an earlier question I posted, have you filed the issues you had in the issue tracker? https://github.com/kubernetes/minikube/issues

Yes, the docker/machine code is an issue. For this, the libmachine is mostly moved inrepo and we are working on abstracting and even replacing this.

It can also be the opinion of others. A lot of people, especially when you're doing something that goes out of the ordinary, will judge you for not researching more conventional things. You end up trimming your research so that it pleases people more.

Most of the companies that were nationalized in 1945 in France are now world class companies. Renault, EDF, France Telecom (now Orange), SNCF, AFP...

And yes, I say that automated factories profits should be nationalized. What is the alternative? People owning means of production that are impossible to compete against as they are so established and tuned to have marginal costs of production of zero.

But why has the African megafauna stuck around to this day? African animals have had to deal with humans a lot longer than any other continent.
Yup. That works. Just don't forget the follow-up, where external feedback is crucial.

Shameless plug: I've written my own crypto library¹. Not just for the lulz, I fully intend to use it in production. To do that, I had to disregard the crypto community, that basically says anyone who does that deserves to burn in Crypto Hell the time it takes them to count to 2^256. (I might exaggerate a tad).

They say that for a reason however. I had to seek and listen to external advice eventually. Which, judging by the holes they poked through my library, was invaluable.

I think there are two phases. The "I'll show them" phase where you hide under your cave doing your thing, and the phase where you actually show some results and confirm whether this was a worthwhile endeavour.

I have always encouraged colleagues to read less scientific articles, especially if it is incremental science. It encourages you to think inside the box and you will come up with the same solutions everyone else is.

Of course there is more to it, work methodically, formulate problems before solving them, etc. But I'm glad Feynmann agrees with me on this one.

First, DCTCP will degrade gracefully if ECN isn't working. Ok, so you won't get the early warning about congestion. But eventually congestion would cause packet loss, and DCTCP would react to it appropriately.

Second, Linux allows setting the congestion control algorithm per-route. So you could set up DCTCP for communicating with the IPs in the same data center, and use the default CC algorithm for everything else. And what if you can't use/don't want to use per-route settings? Well, you'll generally have two classes of machines anyway. Frontends that can communicate with the outside world, and backends that can't. So you could set up different congestion control based on the role of the machine.

Solving this in the switches seems tricky. Sure, per-flow rather than global or per-port queues could be used to solve the mice vs. elephants problem. But it does not help with TCP incast unless you also add huge buffers. You want switches to be simple, fast and cheap. A switch with per-flow queueing and huge buffers seems like the opposite.

> For example, your example of matplotlib, IIRC, has a dependency on libblas: a C library

And with the wheel packaging, you're free to embed that library in the wheel that depends on it. You can also not do that and rely on the system libraries. The wheel provides you a way to do what you want, but doesn't force you to do it.

The are good reasons for either of those approaches, so I'd say wheel does solve the issue.

No one preaches that the Reinassance was unassisted, or that it was the source of all knowledge - but the technological development that allowed this boom came from Europe.

It's not by random chance that this creative boom came after the print press was invented - in Europe.

After it, the knowledge that was limited to a few people, was spread out via a media development: books, the medium that fueled all of this.

Leonardo was just curious, and had fuel to feed the curiosity, with answers.
You can look into Boostnote, it has that feature built in.
when all you have is a spear, going after "slow", grazing animals is "easy", but the Charismatic megafauna that survives today is in general, the ones you don't mess with (again, when all you have is a spear). Also, moose, bovine, etc... don't have hunting instincts like the big cats, or weigh 2,000lbs like hippos and rhinos... there isn't as much cover on the African plains as there is in the US to go after the larger, horned animals.

Mechanical machines are really satisfying, for their tactileness and simplicity. I have a typewriter, watching real impressions appear on real paper is way more fulfilling, and the organicness of the interaction is not even nearly matched in any computer program I used: you're always detached from the circuitry, where with mechanical devices you're a part of it. But the advantages of computerised production far outweigh those of mechanical devices, so I only type on my typewriter every once in a while as a recreative activity.

" Biogeographical evidence is also suggestive: the areas of the world where humans evolved currently have more of their Pleistocene megafaunal diversity (the elephants and rhinos of Asia and Africa) compared to other areas such as Australia, the Americas, Madagascar and New Zealand without the earliest humans. A picture arises of the megafauna of Asia and Africa evolving alongside humans, learning to be wary of them, and in other parts of the world the wildlife appearing ecologically naive and easier to hunt."

The outer div from the advert has a data-dfp-pixel attribute with a value of a doubleclick URL. I'm not sure what that is about, but I guess it is for tracking.

> For the same reason you can't look over to your neighbor's driveway and say, since he doesn't use his truck all day while he's at work, why can't I drive it ?

Now.

This sense of ownership will be far more diluted once the truck is entirely automated and only needs ressources to run, while the knowledge that it could be far more efficiently allocated to be used by you at this time is made clear by our connected environment.

Then the same question will arise for your neighbor's truck: "why do we need to reserve ownership of these goods for the benefit of a limited portion of society?"

Starting from the fruit of labor, whole industries, to the minutiaes such as these. A connected world means that such micro-optimization would become possible.

So don't dismiss this on the basis that right now, this is not how we operate.
Yes you can, there are multiple inputs BUT the effect is about extending dynamic range only (not create an artistic effect between the inputs).

You can always extend numerically the DR of any set of values but you will stumble upon some noise eventually.. This HDR+ module is supposed to have less noise in the shadows OR have better sun effects / beautiful highlights (candles for example) / good looking clouds.
A good test would be shooting in strong direct sunlight and look at the shadows.

Just _yesterday_ some xls-to-json library that has been used in the past was choking on an innocent-looking file. After fiddling with the thing for over an hour, including using LibreOffice to change the file format, I still could not get the library to read the file.

In five minutes I had a Python script which read the CSV version of the file and converted it to the necessary format. I chanced writing the script because that I knew that I could. In other situations, gambling company time on "I _might_ be able to help" usually leads to wasting company time.

If you haven't already, I highly recommend playing the Paperclips game that was posted recently. When your enemies are merely numbers on a screen, what does it matter who or what they are? Your machines are tasked to eliminate them, and if your machines are better than their machines--or, in this case, if the enemy don't have any machines--you win, and they disappear. Then you task your machines to clean up the mess, and in a short time, it's as if your enemies never existed.

We hope that there would be enough good people among the wealthy and powerful to avoid such a scenario--but would there? Do we know that for certain? I don't think we do. Look at how the wealthy and powerful already exploit people on both small and large scales, from Hollywood execs satisfying their sexual desires one victim at a time, to corporate execs exploiting cheap overseas labor that, to them, are merely numbers on a screen, helping them increase margins.

It all boils down to the same problem in the end, that of evil, and it's not going away, merely taking different forms throughout the ages.

The difference between basic income and the children of the wealthy is the spectre of the money disappearing.

Only the most short-sighted of the wealthy do not realize that there are many ways in which their wealth could dry up. This provides an impetus to use the money constructively while you have it, because it might not be around forever.

Basic income does not give the same drive. You can watch TV all day, doing nothing to better yourself, doing nothing to manage your money, and you know that there will always be more where that came from.

Networking is a topic where you really need debugging functionality. That's why it hits you the hardest there. Same experience here. It's terrible. But the underlying problem is that there's basically no debugging functionality in cluster environments until you are skilled enough to set up your own (ELK stack etc). But you can't even get there in a reasonable amount of time.

The same incomplete debugging is also in kubeadm. It often hangs in the "waiting for control plane" level without any additional info. Helm also has such problems, reporting networking erros when there's no networking problem (if it checks ipv6 first but hten switches to ipv4 for instance). It's also possible that a helm deployment fails, gives no real reason why, then you can't uninstall it at all without restarting the k8s master.

It's maybe even more general, and a problem in the whole Go programming language world. Everytime I see a tool written in Go I immediately cringe and already know that there will be debugging problems. No ideas why nobody inside this community realises it or how they debug. I suspect they don't really debug and live in the illusion that actually others know something better, but actually the others also don't know it.

Clapper was questioned by congress about whether data on a
Americans was swept up in the dragnet, and Clapper (lying) said no, not wittingly.

Likewise, GCHQ were found to be acting illegally, hence the IPA that enshrined what they were already doing into law.

If this is the case, then based on those leaks, it looks like both the US and UK broke this agreement.

But where did the wealthy parents come from?

You're setting up a chicken and egg problem for yourself. Wealth had to start somewhere, as I doubt you'd argue that it was handed down to certain families by a deity.

Heritage is important. A person does not just have more opportunity because of the wealth of an ancestor - they exist because of that ancestor. Does everyone not deserve to have whatever their ancestors chose to give them?

The only argument that can be made is if you can show that someone's ancestors only had wealth because they unjustly stole it from others. But that's a tall order.
You mean 'looking at' versus 'using'. But it should be 'and' not 'versus' i.e., always taking the wider view by looking at what effects the 'using' has on its environment of which we are all part.

A few months ago we changed our grocery shopping habits. Instead of going to a store a few times a week, we now order ingredients via an app and get them delivered the next day. Usually we order two times a week. When ordering, we plan what we are going to eat in the next 3-4 days.

Every time when we order we think of recipes to cook and their ingredients. Then we add every ingredient to the app. We also add essential ingredients like milk or eggs if we need them.

Automating this process sounded fun. The idea was born to speed up our grocery shopping by ordering recipes and their ingredients via the (reverse engineered) supermarket API.
