I couldn't get through the preface with a straight face. There's something really meta about a study which is attacking ideology within academia that is clearly driven by the authors own ideological bias, which presumably had not find a welcome audience in these fields. Labeling a wide swath of the humanities as "grievance studies" belies their ultimate aim, which is to discredit them on an ideological basis rather than on the merits of the arguments.

There is the other side of the coin, the conflict is and always was a relatively "meaningless" conflict as far as the scope goes from any point you look at including casualties however the level of attention it receives is also disproportionate just as much if not more as the so called preferential treatment you claim it has.
Medical insurance in the US is for sure a big consideration for doing freelance here.

It's gotten better with the beginning of the federal marketplace, but it still is true that better coverage is gotten from a full time job. Though, I guess it depends on what you are looking for. I pay $350 a month for a decent plan in Chicago. But, I'm a mostly healthy 30 year old so YMMV.

Some options you might consider for further coverage:

1. Have a spouse that has insurance. Easy mode, but seems to be an option for some people.

2. Part time job that has benefits. I have a friend doing exactly this - 20 hours a week working at a university and the rest of the time freelancing. Provides a little human interaction too.

3. Medical tourism? I only half joke that I may up and go to Lithuania if I ever need not urgent major surgery (though I might do that even with good insurance). Being freelance opens up that option.

But as more and more people become freelancers, I have to imagine this situation will change. I really hope that in the next 10 years we'll get more options, whether full fledged socialized healthcare or even just the ability to get the same plans as employees. If you were needing a reason to vote in the upcoming elections this is probably the one that most directly impacts freelancers.
The Hypatia article that got accepted was notoriously mild in comparison to many of the others, if you look at the summary:

> Thesis: That academic hoaxes or other forms of satirical or ironic critique of social justice scholarship are unethical, characterized by ignorance and rooted in a desire to preserve privilege.

This is obviously something that can be argued, even taking this very same project as an example! But for the authors to claim that the position is absurd begs the question in favor of their project. That looks disingenuous to me.
Will a Billion Dollars Buy Europe Exascale Dominance?
Thanks for the patient response.

Reading through your response already showed that at-least some of my understanding of Kubernetes was wrong and that I need to look into it further. I was assuming that Kubernetes would encompass the auth provider, logging provider and such. Honestly, it drew a parallel to systemd in my mind, trying to be this "I do everything" mess. The one day workshop I attended at Google gave me that impression as it involved setting up an api server, ingress controller, logging container(something to do with StackDriver that Google had internally), and more for running a hello-world application. That formed my opinion that it was too many moving parts than necessary.

If there is a minimal abstraction of Kubernetes, that just orchestrates the operation of my standard components(FreeIPA, nginx, Postgres, Git, batch compute nodes), then it is different than what I saw it to be.

> if you're running a kubernetes cluster, you run the kubernetes cluster. You should be an expert in this, much the same way you need to be an expert in chef and puppet.

I think that is the key. End of the day, it becomes a value proposition. If I run all my components manually, I need to babysit them in operation. Kubernetes could take care of some of the babysitting, but the rest of times, I need to be a Kubernetes expert to babysit Kubernetes itself. I need to decide whether the convenience of running everything as containers from yaml files is worth the complexity of becoming an expert at Kubernetes, and the added moving parts(api server, etcd etc.).

I will play with Kubernetes in my spare time on spare machines to make such a call myself. Thanks for sharing your experience.

Also, how do you test cluster K8s upgrades, cluster instance type changes, etc. These things aren't just magic and could definitely impact production systems, so you have to have at least one non-prod cluster running.

I have an aversion to any site or service that doesn't have a "Pricing" link right on the home page. I feel like the site doesn't want to expose this information because it's either not straightforward or very expensive.

I searched on your help site and found the answer on pricing [1], which is well written. But ideally it shouldn't be this hard to know. Please add this link on your homepage and everywhere else that you'd add FAQ, Help, etc.

P.S.: Your help documentation looks well written so far (except for some typos).

This is a good lecture series
https://scs.hosted.panopto.com/Panopto/Pages/Sessions/List.a...

It's CMU's 15-213 class:
https://www.cs.cmu.edu/~213/schedule.html

There's also a book for it, CS:App http://csapp.cs.cmu.edu/ which is a 600+ page tome filled with exercises, and the student site has all the labs that the class does like Attack/Malloc lab. The lectures are self contained enough you can do most of the labs without the assigned text but I'm glad I bought the text anyway. It's the perfect course in that you dive into x86-64 computer systems fundamentals just enough from a programmer's perspective on how to write cache friendly code, what C code looks like in assembly, how the linker/compiler works, how virtual memory works, how OS signals work, ect., but you don't go heavy into OS implementation details like you would reading an Andrew S. Tanenbaum book.

I don’t see how that follows. Even if the author were positively malicious, why would you ignore their concerns about privacy, which affect you and everyone else? It’s a non-sequitur.
Interesting, I always thought Bare Metal is synonym for actual hardware server, but the author mixes those:

> Bare metal for this conversation means a regular VM/VPS provider or a regular private provider like Proxmox with no special services - or actual hardware.

Is this a common theme nowadays?

The article itself is of course really nice, it shows that "Kubernetes is hard to set up" theme is not always right.
Ok so the title of the blog is 'Data ops in the Linux command line'. Sounds fun, but in the same way that 'paintball with blindfolds' would be fun.

e.g. this is one of the examples - a kindof sanity check on two fields in a tab separated file to see if one is less than the other. The fields are identified by their position (31, 33 etc)

awk -F"\t" 'NR>1 && $31!="" && $33!="" && $33>$31' fish | wc -l

Surely much better to just import it into a database and do the analysis in SQL. The SQL equivalent of the above would be something like:

SELECT *
FROM FishSpecimenData
WHERE MinDepth > MaxDepth
AND MinDepth is not null AND MaxDepth is not null

If you're worried about type conversions while importing into SQL, just import everything as a varchar. You've still got a fairly easy job to compare the numbers:

SELECT *
FROM FishSpecimenData
WHERE Cast(MinDepth as int) > Cast(MaxDepth as int)
AND MinDepth is not null AND MaxDepth is not null
AND IsNumeric(MinDepth) = 1 and IsNumeric(MaxDepth) = 1

edit: To be fair, on this page https://www.polydesmida.info/cookbook/index.html the author explains the rationale for using command line tools:

I'm a retired scientist and I've been mucking around with data tables for nearly 50 years. I started with printed columns on paper (and a calculator) before moving to spreadsheets and relational databases (Microsoft Access, Filemaker Pro, MySQL, SQLite). In 2012 I discovered the AWK language and realised that every processing job I'd ever done with data tables could be done faster and more simply on the command line. Since then my data tables have been stored as plain text and managed with GNU/Linux command-line tools, especially AWK

So I guess the point of the blog is to promote that approach. Fair enough.
Put more simply - there are more people who can say “No.”

Saying no is safer than saying “Yes.”

When only a single “No” will halt a project, the chance of getting stuck is higher.
The TL;DR is that the L (and soon 7) line is automated with something called "communication-based train control". They still have an operator and conductor on every train, even though the train is perfectly capable of driving itself and making station announcements itself.

I think the MTA thought they could kill off the conductor's position when the trains were fully automated, because the operator could take on the conductor's role now that they don't have to actually operate the train. The union did not allow that.

In the end, this is not really the MTA's biggest problem. CBTC was supposed to increase capacity on the L, but it didn't in reality because the MTA doesn't own enough rolling stock to actually offer that capacity, and the terminals on the L don't allow them to turn trains quickly enough to make the signalling system the bottleneck. (The 7 will be better, though, as at least the Hudson Yards terminal has tail tracks that allow the trains to enter the terminal at full speed. The same cannot be said of 8th Ave. on the L, where trains have to crawl into the terminal because the track ends a few feet after the end of the platform.)
I would like to see a good open source package manager, built on the following principles:

- every package is a source code archive signed by the developer

- package manager takes care of compiling it for you

- package manager does not allow build scripts to download extra code or libraries

- dependencies are built from source by the manager, not downloaded as binaries

- there is a rating system to allow packages with obfuscated code to be dismissed

It really depends on your personal project.

Kubernetes is a complicated, complex beast. Even on managed K8s on a cloud provider, you still need to learn a lot of stuff that has absolutely nothing to do with what you intend to accomplish (unless your personal project is learning to use K8s.

Most of my personal projects get deployed on Google's App Engine. It's easy, simple and unbelievably cheap.

It's a wonderful write up, thank you!

We should have more of these from seasoned developers. There are a lot of hard core math/type theory guys on reddit and elsewhere (who I have lots of respect for), but in an industry setting there are (1) features to deliver and (2) people to be dealt with -- outsmarting has little place with those. You have apparently succeeded in doing the jump in this setting.
Curious... I always read 'America' when people from USA talks about them. What about the people from the rest of the continent?
In that case, all that's happening is that the county is making the determination instead of the municipality. Again, there is agreement that there should be some kind of control on what can be built where, and the disagreement is on what that should look like.
Every post about google, facebook or privacy, there is a PR comment about Apple.

Apple doesn't care about privacy any more than google believed in "do no evil". They collect data on you just like google does. They buy data from other vendors like google does. They sell data on you.

The idea that a company who gives data to the chinese government cares about privacy is laughable.

And Hamas turned it into fascist state for its own population. I suppose opponents of blockade prefer a fascist state with access to weapons import.
Charities prefer undirected funds, but most will accept restricted funds if the funds are big enough. They often have whole negotiation & legal teams devoted to working with donors to figure out a set of restrictions that's mutually agreeable (i.e. reflects the donor's wishes while minimizing how much of a pain it is to the charity to deal with).

Two common examples are donations to museums that are restricted to development of a certain collection or type of work, and donations to universities restricted to funding a specific field of research.
One question I have: is it not possible that the big bang occurred an infinite time ago? If the expansion of the universe is accelerating with time, does it not indicate that, if we reverse the time, the deceleration is asymptotic?

In that case the big bang is compatible with a universe that has always existed and did not have a beginning
I'm from Spain and I am in love with Spanish country houses. I find the rawness and authenticity of those house much more beautiful than this manicured fabricated penthouse. There is an almost primal appeal to the houses of old people who don't know what Instagram is, and wouldn't give a shit otherwise; people only concerned with the pragmatism of every day life. I wonder if one day someone will decide to package and sell them as the fantasy of living the simple life.
I think the opposite. K8s hides so many things under layers of NAT that you really dont understand what does and doesnt work.

It still requires a mental effort to make sure your information is not linked. One small mistake (e.g. visit site in wrong browser window) and all your previous effort is wasted.

Therefore, we need not only technical solutions. We need companies to change. Perhaps by an update of the law (GDPR for US), and if this doesn't work then perhaps we should even consider a ban on personalized advertising to make sure that these companies have no incentive to trick the user into disclosing personal information.

For most of human history there has not been such a great incentive to live in or near a large city. Because there is such an incentive, you now see people struggling to build enclaves they like living in that are reasonably close to work, rather than going to live in the Great Plains. I don't really see that much about human development is "natural;" humans control the process and are free to make decisions about it.

Thank you for your answer. All this makes sense, I am trying to ponder how much of a migration would be cool-driven and how much of it utility-driven, for a small company. All in all, as of now, my conclusion would be not to migrate infrastructure to k8s with no allocated devops engineer on it (at least one).
But that's actually helpful for legitimate charities.
I thought they just partner with Bing for ad results - not that their search was a skin of Bing. Wikipedia supports the ad partnership but also doesn't say anything about Bing being responsible for their search results.

I thought I read somewhere where they actually stopped all hiring for their company. It may have been this year even.
Not if you control the charity. In the US, charities can have a huge investment portfolio. So you put money into the charity, then the charity invest in what you want to boost, including friends companies or your own. The remaining can be spent on reasearch projects which you can benefit from as well.
