RE the question of summarizing the talk:

I'd add, DHH speaks greatly at a philosophical level to a revolution that he envisions has to take place if we are to beat conquistadors(those who by any means necessary seek their bottom-line alone) and the general miasma of change that is our day as Developers and (increasingly complex)baselines that cause barriers to/of entry because now we need to understand the new XYZ-technology of the month... Underlying this, I think he challenges what it means to have a prestigious company on your resume in light of the effective outcome of a coding academy. He mentions Taleb and Software iatrogenics at a point to discuss how Software specializations creates distance(again found at these very large prestigious institutions) from the product and in so doing creates a vacuum of lack of responsibility and ownership, which creates opportunity for the end-product to be abused. This is some deep stuff that likely will require a second go around.. I build products from the ground up, a true full-stack Engineer for nearly a decade and I live in this tension of comfort in specialization(which tempting but the road I have never traveled, mostly innately) vs. the pursuit of volatility and measured effective utility abstraction.. You can even hire me at this very moment and "arm this rebel", lest I surrender to those dogmatic Conquistadors.. but DHH is having a hiring-freeze at the moment because their product is too good?

If you distill k8s down to this model alone, k8s becomes nothing but a pattern that has existed for decades. Maintaining "desired state" and "operational state" as separate things is not new.
It's possible to believe that having an immigration policy and laws is a legitimate and constitutional need for the country, and still think that the way they're being enforced is neither legitimate nor constitutional.

Instead of having a secure border line, where we enforce immigration law, and legitimately ask everyone to identify themselves, we have this giant zone extending well into the country where people are presumed to be crossing the border. If we simply physically controlled the line itself, this zone would not be necessary, and the conflict between enforcing immigration law and the fourth amendment would go away.

The median household income across San Francisco and San Mateo counties is $115k. People who make close to that are entirely justified in calling themselves middle class. Spending half your take-home on a crappy $2500 apartment doesn't make you rich just because the apartment is in SF.
It's even better than that, to login to the tangerine website, you first enter you're username, and it returns back a picture and phrase you pre-select, before entering you're pin.

Anyone care to guess my username, and steal my picture and phrase?
The Crisis No One Is Talking About
About to congratulate you that you are about to make competition to Alibaba.com.

On our side, maxing the IOPS was the easy part. The hard one was to marry the protocol with converged/deterministic Ethernet with RDMA. We were split in between "one request, one frame/packet burst" vs "all requests are somehow smartly aligned with frames by stateful logic." The first one was surprisingly susceptible to performance artifacts due to varying round trip latency of few microseconds, thus it was possible to get packets in transit being dropped due to receiving NIC (a top tier hardware) being momentarily overloaded.

You have an advantage of being DC provider independent, and can jump the AWS ship whenever you want. Alibaba's solution will be tied to its infrastructure with its very expensive RDMA capable network.

Are there any physicians on here that find these renders useful? As a radiology resident, I often prefer reading from the source images, as the whole point is to see inside a patient, rather than provide some partial surface rendering.

Non-radiologists seem to love these sorts of images, but I don't think they are all that helpful.

I had heaps of issues with Kubernetes.

I moved to Swarm a year ago and have had a grand total of 0 issues. It can do everything I need.
Good point, thanks. I might add the option for some randomness.
I’m pretty skeptical:

1) Granting a patent doesn’t necessarily mean that the examiner is more lenient or that the applicant got something good. There are good patents and bad ones, strong ones and weak ones. A high allowance rate may be an indication of very narrow patents which pad corporate quarterly numbers, but don’t have very much significance as patents.

2) This high volume, low value patent prosecution strategy is often seen in large corporate files, the same ones who hire patent attorneys.

3)Examiners deal with an attorney who is usually employed by some independent law firm. The underlying client is often not in direct contact with the patent office at all.

4) those large corporate filers are often in a technology niche. Particular pharma drugs, certain high tech niches like display tech or semiconductor fab, etc. The point is, these are small worlds, and if someone has the background to examine that kind of patent, they are probably in a very small group of people qualified to work on that technology. If they then get a law degree and go into private practice, there’s a good chance they cross paths with an entity that they examined patents of. In some of these tech areas there may be only a few dozen people in total (notionwide) who are qualified in the tech and are in the patent law field, it’s a small world.

5) All the same goes for law firms, there just aren’t that many people in this business, it’s not unlikely to cross paths.

6) bad patents aren’t good. Let me explain. If you’re a patent prosecutor worth your salt, you want a thorough examination. The last thing you want is to have a portfolio of patents which fall apart in IPR. It makes you look really really bad to your clients. hypothetically bribing an examiner is a fools errand, not just in a moral sense, but it’s literally a bad position to be in to get a bunch of bogus patents. Nobody wants that, it’s actually bad.

7) measuring patent quality in terms of citation is a red herring. First, some patents may have a different ‘lifespan’ to when they’re relevant. Some may be immediately cited a bunch, others may linger for a few years before being suddenly relevant due to some other development. But most of all, remember that patents cited on the front page of a patent are largely from the applicant themselves, cited in an IDS. So if a large portfolio starts citing a certain document, it might get cited in 10’s or 100’s of other cases that are somewhat related. And if you’re going to use it as a measure of low quality, that just bolsters my original argument that these would mostly be very narrow patents, a type of low quality but not the type that the public should care about. Shareholders, yes, as it’s a waste of corporate resources. Not anyone else.
I do exactly the same thing.

Of course you should also have a third account for savings. :)

The other option is doing the same with credit cards, though you'd have to work backwards with credit cards. Basically, have a groceries credit card, a dining out credit card, etc. If you look at the balance you can see you have $200 in dining purchases this month and you budget is $250, so you have another night out budgeted for the month.
So allowing Mexican cartels to smuggle and sell, for example, heroin has a positive economic effect on society? I have to admit that's a fresh perspective.
If I worked for a regulator and wanted to maximize my revolving-door compensation, then I'm not sure whether I'd want to be harsh or lenient. As you say, there are forces in both directions. I'd probably aim for the middle of the pack, since I (a) don't want to make my future employer hate me, and (b) also don't want them to think I'm an idiot lackey more valuable to them in government than on their payroll.

But, I think I have a pretty straightforward incentive to create maximum procedural complexity--that is, to draft and enforce regulations that require lots of administrative effort to comply with, but in the end have little economic effect beyond the legal fees. If I'm really clever, then I might even get whoever thought regulation was needed to perceive the paperwork burden as satisfying that--so the company might not even mind the legal fees, if they get an offsetting PR benefit from the procedurally strict (but substantively meaningless) rules. This is the legal equivalent of a computer programmer's job security through poorly-documented code, just with the creation and maintenance phases split across two different employers.

A lot of what patent attorneys do sure feels like it meets that description. If the regulatory capture mentioned in the paper exists, then I'd guess it works more through that procedural complexity than through substance.

A particular load I'm talking about, Seattle to LA. I remember this because I threatened to make a formal complaint about this and got my shit together for it.

Roughly 1100 mile haul. Industry standard base time is 55 mph. Some states limit trucks to 55mph even if it's a 70mph interstate. Also, you aren't driving 55mph going up a mountain with a full load. There's a reason why there are truck lanes on mountain passages going up hill. You're going 30mph sometimes (Grapevine and Siskiyous for that particular route).

That's about 20 hours, of straight driving (in theory). Figure in some food stops and 2 refueling stops (100+ gallon tanks, takes a while to fuel up). So that's a bit more than 20 hours. Oh, also you can only drive 11 hours within a 14 hour window. Then you have to not drive for 10 hours to reset your clock. Government regulations.

It was 9:35am when I had possession to leave. Official pickup was 9:15am, but the lumpers were behind schedule. I was to drop that trailer in a yard in LA by midnight, same day or I was fired. Yes, I was told fired.

You're welcome to try that math. 14 hours to do a 20+ hour load, if you don't count gov regulations. It doesn't take a liberal arts degree to figure that one out.

But surely this must be a fluke mistake! No, this was not the only time with this piss poor math skills. There were about 2 dozen occurrences of stupid load times because, yes, they can't do simple math because it was on their bill of lading. It's not like "Oh, this load was to be picked up a week ago and no one has". It was scheduled that way when it was first ordered.

These shipment orders are made weeks in advance. Not on demand. A lot are actually "standing orders" with big companies because they have consistent loads to send out and get a better rate if they guarantee ahead of time that they'll have one.

So don't believe the bullshit, cop out rhetoric they try to pull.

It was however the first and only time I was told I was going to be fired for it though.
Agreed, napkin math say's around 3 day's on a single CPU core to test every password.
Does the “Marshmallow Test” Really Predict Success?
You can use kubectl run to make something run, only after you've got all your initial authentication/authorization squared away, and your nodes are deployed. Assuming you work at Google you can "borgcfg up" your job and it will run under your role, make authenticated RPCs under your own authority, using your personal freebie quota which is infinite. You can get preempted; that's the price of infinite free resources. Anybody who complains about that should be fired.
Microsoft Word is also incredibly complex software with decades of development and features, and yet it's just a word processor. Everyone uses a small subset of the actual functionality which is why the entire system can be complex and simple at the same time, depending on your needs.

It's exactly the same with Kubernetes. It's just clustering software that ties multiple servers together to give you an PaaS-like workspace to run containers, but there are 1000s of details you can use if you need them to build much more intelligence into operations. If you don't need them, you can just run a single container and still benefit from simple declarative deployments and automated oversight.
What do you do now, without Helm or Kubernetes?
Roundup: The Psychology of Entrepreneurship
As much as I love tech, things like this make me hate this industry. All that technology seems to be used for these days is to collect more data, chip a little more at your badly bruised privacy, track you, and overall make everything more square, rigid, and controlling.

At first computers were designed to empower and free you and now it's all being turned on its head and the computers control you. This is terrible. Please, everyone, keep the free spirit alive, even if it's by doing something as small as sharing your code on the internet.
Sorry but I don't see how that follows from my logic at all. Would you please care to clarify how you reached that conclusion starting from some assumption I made?

Licensing revenue would probably be taxed as corporate income. Also, maintenance fees increase as the years go by, so it only makes economic sense to keep paying fees for valuable patents.
I was trying to think of a purpose for this kind of resolution, too. Other than surveillance. It reminded me of that line from Real Genius where Mitch says, "Let the engineers figure out a use for that, it's not our concern."

Dollar to a donut there is a machine with IBM on it backing this up. At a prior life the ultimate reason why "you can type as many characters as you want but only the first 8 matter" came down to passing the login auth to a mainframe which only took 8 characters. Yes in EBCDIC, glad I never had to actually interface with them much, except for having to deploy ftps (ftp with ssl encryption, its an abomination, all due to no sftp on the mainframe at the time).
5000 nodes has proven to be a high enough ceiling for basically all workloads, especially given the size of individual servers available now in clouds. Easier to run smaller numbers of bigger servers, as always.

Also Kubernetes does support federation for cross-cluster deployments (now named multi-cluster). Some cloud services even support ingress load balancing across these, or you can do that part yourself by simple sticking with the same ports, but it all works fine today. Nothing custom needed.
Paywall bypass: https://archive.is/J83lw
There's always a price. I wouldn't work that job for $100k/yr; I would work it for 1000 times the amount. Somewhere in the middle is, technically, the right price.

This all gets silly when looked at in isolation, though. :-) I'd agree that there's not always an amount of compensation that the company could pay that would also attract enough workers.
Patent examiners top out at like $140’s pretty much. Nobody that’s GS scale makes over $160. Starting salary at big law firms is $180 + bonus. So you have a fair pint there.

Also, as far as time bars, the PTO does something like this. Former examiners are not allowed to apply for a patent for a term after they leave. Doesn’t really solve the problem, but it’s something.
There is definitely a trade off here... I noticed without OOBGC we did increase response times for the p99 and p95 requests however it was a few ms. So, for us the trade off of more CPU capacity and slightly slower in the p99 was worth the trade off. The cool thing about seeing this github post for me was to be reminded about OOBGC being a thing and that we should re-evaluate it after upgrading ruby.
Easier Container Security with Entitlements
Relevant comment by wgrant:

The body of the 418 is {"error":"got unknown host (registry.npmjs.org:443)"}.
Looks like some npm clients are appending the port to the Host
header, but only when going through a proxy, and that's confusing
the registry.

It seems to be based on combination of npm:node version.

> At 32 years of age, I've realized that "bad behavior" is symptomatic of the mindset of self, and sometimes necessary. Sometimes my workouts will go very poorly, for example. The quantified self laments those workouts, but the self-accepting self accepts those poorer workouts as an inevitability. Sometimes you simply cannot give it 100%; sometimes you'll fail.

Not to mention, that it's statistically impossible for you to infinitely improve in every workout. There are going to be good days and bad days, and if your method of assessing metrics do not take those into account, then the method is worthless.

There was a good article about relationships advice for people who hyperfocus on things, and I think it's pertinent here. That basically, just because things have levelled out or not improved, or just because there has been a momentary dip, doesn't mean that that is a negative thing. Any complex system, whether it be the human body, interpersonal relations, or even just water has ups and downs. Sometimes hyperfocusing on those downs, or predicting off those dips can lead you to believe things that are false. Sometimes to get correct information you have to zoom out a little.

Not to mention, that expecting 100% of yourself constantly is a surefire way to burn out.

And I quote:

If you are RACF-defined, you must enter the password defined in the RACF® data set as the value for password. The new password specifies the password that is to replace the current password. new_password must be separated from password by a slash(/) and, optionally, one or more standard delimiters (tab, blank, or comma). new_password is 1 to 8 alphanumeric characters long. This operand is ignored for non-RACF defined users. (Printing is suppressed for some types of terminals when you respond to a prompt for a password.)
With z/OS® V1R7 or later, the password and new_password can be in mixed case, if your installation has enabled RACF mixed case password support.

IMO, only if you're working on like 100+ of them. If you just maintain a website using a traditional LAMP/LEMP stack, Rails, Node.js, or something like that it still makes more sense (unless you want to be 'trendy') to stick to primitives or use more managed hosting.

But if you're maintaining a fleet of independent sites, Kubernetes' scheduling can make sense, despite the inherent complexity (TBH, you're going to have a similar level of complexity managing the same kind of scale with any other tool).
For many use cases, I'd imagine an abstraction atop of Kubernetes (like OpenShift or Rancher) is a good fit.

As someone new to Kubernetes, Helm is _really_ not appealing; it masks a _ton_ of complexity, and is akin to telling someone new to Docker to run all their applications off the 'Docker Library' official images on Docker Hub.

With few exceptions, those cookie cutter examples are not ideal for running production applications; they're decent starting points for learning how they could be built, just like Helm could be (if it were a little less "here's a 1,000 line Kubernetes configuration file in a box, good luck!"-ish).
Sure, but why is anything in the chain returning the 418 "I'm a teapot" error message?

My guess is someone wanted to use some code for "I don't really know what this error is", saw the 418 and thought "that's cute!"

Be careful, "cuteness" and "cleverness" has a way of biting you in the behind.
