Hi, there! Extremely flattered you're considering our platform.

Full disclosure, I am the Co-Founder/CEO of Caylent.

Since Kubernetes is one of your stated requirements, I must admit we're probably not a good fit just yet.

When we first started development work on Caylent back in 2015, container orchestration was still in its infancy. Since then, the ecosystem has matured quite a bit.

When we launched our beta last year we made the decision to initially support Swarm, which looked quite promising and continues to be a good orchestration solution. However, we realize that many teams are gravitating towards k8s and we are working on adding support for it, consistent with our goal of providing an opinionated, yet agnostic platform.

FWIW we currently support both AWS and Azure and as I've already mentioned our roadmap includes k8s as a high priority and supporting additional cloud providers in the near future.

Programming in 2018
I'm looking to get into Web development. I've learned somethings about PHP and Javascript just never really made anything.

Read a bunch of books and online courses.
What does one need to learn in 2018 to become employable as a Web developer? any advice would be useful. Thank you

I'd like to know how thorough they are with deleting you, however. With stories of "ghost" profiles that they build on individuals who don't have accounts (and/or are not logged in), I would be surprised if they actually delete everything they know about you.

All fair points.

But the resource sinks are also something absurd that should be avoided. I've seen this first hand. Lots of business were seduced into migrating onto web based application. I was crying ..

Sure the old terminal apps were crude bug god they were fast, processing AND ergonomy. The new one looked fancy but wasn't a production tool. Came late and under delivered. And did less than the old tools by design.

It's all bs spread by consultants to gain market shares. Employees and consumers don't need this. The energy is spent where it shouldn't at the benefit of the wrong persons.

TLDR; The biggest problem with 3D, though, is the "convergence/focus" issue. A couple of the other issues -- darkness and "smallness" -- are at least theoretically solvable. But the deeper problem is that the audience must focus their eyes at the plane of the screen -- say it is 80 feet away. This is constant no matter what. But their eyes must converge at perhaps 10 feet away, then 60 feet, then 120 feet, and so on, depending on what the illusion is. So 3D films require us to focus at one distance and converge at another.

While I agree with this, I've to say I generally prefer 3D versions of the movies for that extra oomph. There is no particular reason left to visit theaters otherwise. Especially it's just super cool on IMAX (I mean "real" IMAX). Movies like Space Station 3D would miss out on too much fun without being 3D.

It has the potential to completely change the way tech giants are able to provide their services. Each "purpose" that data is collected for must be individually consented, and it's prohibited for purposes to be withheld if others are not consented to. This allows a user to allow the purposes that are a cost on the company, and deny those that are revenue earners.

Will be very interesting to see how these heavily data based companies adapt.

Yeah I did buy one actual sliceplanner but didn’t like the form factor and never integrated it digitally. Agreed it’s a “gee-whiz”/ meh feature, for my uses anyway. But I loved its visual time-tracking idea and lifted that into my custom bulletjournal system. I use terrific little paper journals (Moleskine Cahir quad-ruled 5x8, one per month.)
I crafted a circular clockface template which I stash in the back cover flap, and use to draw a 12h clock for each day, in pen. (I put am stuff inside the circle, and pm outside, to account for overlap in my ~15h days in a single clockface.)
Having the paper journal completely offline and separate from phone or laptop is ideal for me - not just for time-tracking and planning, but also for ideas and misc notes. There’s something special about a graph notebook and a good pencil (GraphGear 1000 0.5mm, best $11 I ever spent).

Ignoring the specific issue in this case that the outcome appears to be pre-determined, it remains that the surface process being followed is standard for regulators.

Regulators hold public/industry consultations to gather evidence and arguments that need to be taken into account in coming to their final decision. They are not running popularity contests (which would be too easy to rig if that was the standard used). The arguments submitted are usually a mix of legal and economic (including models) based on data or clearly stated assumptions (ideally). For example, an industry stakeholder might make a legal argument that the regulator is making a decision beyond the remit of the legislation, or make an economic argument that if the proposed decision is adopted, then this will remove the infrastructure investment incentive for the stakeholder (including the data to substantiate this).

In making their final decision, the regulator should take into account all the arguments put forward, and respond to them in their final report. Submissions that are substantially the same (or sections within) will be grouped together and responded to as a single point. The regulator should explain why they reject or adopt each argument.

The criteria that a regulator uses to evaluate the different arguments and come to a final decision is set by the enabling legislation. I have not worked within the US legal framework, but I have both prepared submissions to and worked with numerous regulators in Asia and Europe. In most cases, the criteria is deals with the best interests of consumers with a consideration of both costs and benifits. Often a longer term view is required to be taken, which biases towards promoting investment in infrastructure over time rather than maximising short time utilisation of existing infrastructure.

I profited $1700 driving for Uber this week in SF. How could Mr. Bonilla not afford $1200 in rent (for a room)?

I agree it is unfair and sad that there are so much friction to living in SF, but with two incomes you can easily make enough money to survive and save up $10,000 to move to another state.

When you make the choice to have 2 children with no career, you are going to have to work a lot and sacriface your personal happiness for your children.

It's not Mark Zuckerburg's fault, it is the individual's lack of resilency, work ethic and thriftiness.

That said, rent and the governments in the Bay are out of control, and there's dozens of things we should be doing as a society and through local governments that could reduce the burden of living a normal life.

(I should add, I work 70 hours a week for Uber plus 20 hours a week remotely. I also live in my car. I have made $27,000 the last 3-months. I also eat keto & go to the gym. Not exactly sustainable but a way to get to another level in life.)

I had a dependency for a project that was really good. Had 90% of the features I needed, was fast, reliable... I just needed one feature it didn't have, which was a good fit for the package.

The other options that did what I needed weren't as good, for other reasons.

Since I was going to have to write the code somewhere, I figured I'd fork the repo and maintain my own version. After I did that I realised my changes needed testing and documentation for other people on my team.

Quicktime
1. Far fewer people subsistence farm so they're not one bad harvest away from famine
2. Not all areas would have complete crop failure; IIRC in 1816 "America's Breadbasket" (such as it was at that time) had a relatively easier time of it
3. We have a much better system of distributing information now and easy ways to transport seeds/cuttings. We could probably replace some of the lost crops with alternatives that were cold-tolerant or needed less sunlight if we knew what was coming. In 1816 even if you had a cold-tolerant grain variety there were fewer avenues to inform farmers and get them the seeds.
4. We also understand how to grow mushrooms at scale and farm fish at scale.
5. We have industrial processes. The capability to synthesize food here is probably far less than people assume (a lot of feedstock comes from the food industry) but it would help some.
6. We have TBMs capable of creating a vast network of underground tunnels where it would stay warmer and avoid freezing; doing this by hand would take many years.
7. In a worst-case scenario where billions would be expected to die: we can say "fuck it" and build a vast array of nuclear power plants to provide artificial light in tunnel or vertical farm operations. This would normally be a huge waste of resources when sunlight is plentiful.
8. We have satellites and much better weather forecasting abilities, plus a reasonable understanding of vulcanism. Unlike 1815 if we saw an eruption like this today we would know that the next few summers were going to be cold and crops would be at risk. We could immediately begin canning and preserving the huge quantities of food that normally get thrown out, used as cattle feed, processed into ethanol, etc.

There wouldn't be a silver bullet. We'd need a combination of techniques and less developed countries would probably bear the brunt of the suffering.

It is also possible the huge and growing moron class would buy food and throw it away just to thumb their nose at "da gubbmit fer tryin' to tell meh what tado", and politicians would claim the jury is still out on this "climate" stuff, then we end up with a global catastrophe despite possessing the resources to prevent it. After all: we are perfectly capable of feeding everyone alive right now but we don't, not even in a first-world country like the USA.

During my visit to Venice I found a museum with interactive exhibits by Leonardo da Vinci. It's actually hard to appreciate full scale of his genius unless you actually try out each of the devices he created by your own hand. Most of these devices are very minimal and simple, something even you could build in half a day with right tools, but just magical. Even more importantly, what I learned was that he didn't just pulled them out his brilliant brain in one stroke. He meticulously studied how extremely simple things like gears, pulleys, levers, wheels & axle, inclined planes, friction, and screws behave and why do they behave that way. Then he started studying how lot of medieval machines that were already in existence simply be viewed as composition of these simple elements. Then he studied newer ways to compose them to build ever more complicated machines. So after years of such studies he was able to create these magical devices which worked without electricity, steam and such way back in 1500s. One of the device on display was ball bearings he had made and he was generally attributed as his inventor.

"Neoliberal" is a meaningless term of abuse. In practice, it just means "not a communist".
I agree that sometimes not having dependencies is important and that's definitely a big feature of this library. However, in my experience it is more desirable in many cases to have clear code. You basically get this for free when by using LaTeX, because you create documents at a higher level than writing raw pdfs. Another big advantage ia that you can make use of its vast package ecosystem, which allows you to for instance create beautiful tables that span multiple pages with ease.

It definitely is a large, and more importantly external, dependency though. However, if you control the installation environment of your software this isn't really a problem. For all use cases where I had to generate pdfs this was the case (webapps and local one off scripts).
