Totally a response to Bernie Sanders campaign against Amazon, and impending unionization.
I am on mac, I used FF when they announced their performance improvement last year [1], and it felt fast at the beginning but then it started to get slower. I can't explain why as it was a while ago and I did not look much into it

Doesn't Trump's tax eliminate that loophole? There's now a maximum amount of money you're allowed to deduct.
I'm probably over-selling malicious - other posters have covered the mundane reasons better.

But anytime I've suddenly been stuck feeling "wait how was I doing the wrong thing?" the overwhelming reason has been traceable to the fact I can't point to any specific bits of correspondence which justify why I was doing something a particular way because it was all ephemeral.

For me, it's a workplace confidence builder - there's not a lot of light between a manager forgetting something you said, or hearing something different, from your perspective when the question posed is "why did you do a thing?". In those moments, being able to point to specific records of correspondence means the discussion now has a concrete starting point - even if it's going to turn out you absolutely misinterpreted what was asked.
That hardly seems like a reason to exacerbate the issue.

Just buy used. My iPhone 7S Plus is great and a third the price of an iPhone X. I switched from Android after the Nexus 5X and have really enjoyed it. SOOO many iPhone users buy the latest phone every single year that eBay is flooded with used phones in perfect condition.
Thank you for posting this video! Very interesting.

As for robots, I was envisioning a sort of multi-tentacle thing that hangs over the conveyor, with multiple cameras and manipulators that can quickly extend, grab a piece, and drop it into an appropriate bin. No need to have a humanoid form of course.

I suppose that depends on how much 400-500$ is worth to you. I'd pay 500$ to not have a mobile tracking device developed by an advertising company on me at all times, but I have that luxury from working in tech.

Document everything someone teaches you. Having to be told twice is not ideal for a jr. dev.
That is a really interesting way to look at it, and yes since in reverse time, the acceleration never quite reaches zero, the universe can then be though of as an infinite occurrence that has always been expanding with no starting point.
Also - Learn how to set up and configure servers not just how to write code but how to run code and keep it running. If you know how to use basic programs like SSH and NGINX it can only help you.

Also - I have been coding for 10 years now (as of September). It’s interesting to see as I gain experience the biggest differences looking back are (1) I choose to use more git branches and release 1:10 ratio smaller commits. (2) I try not to ever go back to “refactor” or clean up code and instead spend time on changes to accomplish the next feature or bug fix. (3) I never plan ahead and think “what happens if ...” instead focus on the present. In reality the future often never comes or it looks different than expected.
The modern economy has a much bigger role for cities, and the percentage of the population living in cities or metro areas is historically high. So in fact I do think it is true.
>just raised the tax burden of everyone else -- sonwhy shouldn't their extra tax payments also be tax deductible? It leads to absurdity.

It has been born out in practice that these extra tax payments are not deductible. Few people would expect this to be the case, either. The absurdity does not exist. This is not an intellectually honest argument.

>Especially considering that many tax-deductible "charities" are actually people getting together to pay each other money for personal services (for example: schools, churches, and hobby associations)

Private schools provide an alternative means of educating children when one does not trust the culture or capabilities of the local public schools. Taxing them would reduce their prevalence and would worsen the burden on private parents whose economic activity already supports both public (through property tax, etc) and private schools.

Churches provide moral support to communities, organize deeds of service, and are generally a force for exercising virtue. I say this as an athiest. Some bad churches exist, but taxing churches would be throwing the baby out with the bathwater.

Tax-free hobby organizations are a little less defensible, but it is worth considering that they are limited in scope by law (https://cullinanelaw.com/501c7-social-and-recreational-organ...). But it is worth considering that making it cheaper to fund hobby organizations makes it easier to participate in the sort of activities that we enjoy, and that improve our physical and mental health.

We are already living in a society where we spend every dollar we make, and we still feel lonely and isolated nonetheless. Encouraging these outlets, with their socialization and tight focus on community, is a force for good.
Why are enterprises so slow?

Simple. People in Enterprises with any decision making authority at all have comfortable lifestyles and earn a lot of money. Job #1 for these people is keep the cash and perks flowing. What's the benefit to them in changing anything, compared to the risk ? So do nothing !

Add to that in many cases, the only people with authority to take decisions are close to retirement. Something they don't want to jeopardize !

My personal conclusion using Kubernetes for personal projects: I think it's very good when you have lots of deployments, iterate fastand also a CDI environment. For this, K8s is excellent.
This is richly ironic. I had to check that this was not an article from The Onion.

Will this tool bypass the censored Google that will be introduced in China?

More likely it will automatically report the user to the Chinese government if used in China.
I disagree that senior leadership is required, maybe indirectly, but not as direct as you suppose.

The hard part is firing the right people. If you are going to fire someone, you better be absolutely right it's the cause of the bottleneck, and it really wasn't something else (If I had a dollar for every time some new or existing senior leader thought they could just come in and fire a few people to shake up a place and turn the ship around, boy I would be rich) My experience, everyone is always pointing the finger to something else -- sometimes they are right, sometimes it is a case of simple finger pointing. It becomes difficult to distinguish the finger pointers from the ones that are genuinely trying to overcome the bottleneck. And once senior leadership gets involved, the finger pointing gets exacerbated because now people feel like they might be threatened.

You are right that the problem is people, but it is also cultural -- what is the culture like in your organization? Do you have a culture of problem solvers and people willing to set aside their own selfish goals to achieve the goal of removing the bottleneck? Hire people that will instill this culture into your organization -- grassroots style, and watch it spread like wildfire. To that -- I look to my HR department. How are we hiring people? Are we assessing not just on talent but also the type of personality traits we want to see exemplified in our organization? This becomes difficult but it must be done, because top down intervention can only last so long, but if you want lasting change, it has to start at the local level and spread up. That also means senior leadership empowering those at the bottom.

To me its not a fire / senior leadership issue, it's culture, nurturing that culture. If you are a director or senior leader in a tech team, you need to really take a hard look at the culture you want, and P.S. this means that you yourself must exhibit these qualities as well because people always look up for role models.
What does that mean? I imagine it has to scan my email if it's to provide the search functionality.

You have a few misconceptions and you are waaaaay overthinking this. The primary measure for this equilibrium is the time derivative of the mass-density-velocity, or momentum-density if you like. Now imagine a cube spinning on a primary axis. Since a cube is not constant radius, there are times where matter exists at a given point and other times where the matter does not exist at that point. Clearly, the time derivative of the momentum-density is not zero. This is not the case for a sphere as any point that has mass under the spinning sphere will have mass at all later points in time. The reason we don't just say sphere, though, is this kind of equilibrium accounts for oblate objects as well, and many planets are oblate.
If there really is a way to redirect my tax money from F-35s and detaining children at the border to actual charitable causes, then I'm all for it.

Sounds like what you have works, and Kubernetes might well not benefit you. With roughly 20 nodes, you have more or less 20 "pets" in devops speak and that sounds like an entirely sensible way to manage them. Contrasting with my problem...

I'm a sysadmin who manages thousands of bare metal machines (A touch less than 10,000 Linux boxes). We have gotten to a point in some areas where you can't linearly scale out the app operations teams by hiring more employees so we started looking at container orchestration systems some time ago (I started working on Mesos about 3 years ago before Kubernetes was any good). As a result, I got to understand the ecosystem and set of tools / methodology fairly well. Kelsey Hightower convinced me to switch from Mesos to Kubernetes in the hallway at the Monitorama conference a few years back. Best possible decision I could have made in hindsight.

Kubernetes can't run all of our applications, but it solves a huge class of problems we were having in other areas. Simply moving from a large set of statically provisioned services to simple service discovery is life changing for a lot of teams. Especially when they're struggling to accurately change 200 configs when a node a critical service was running has a cpu fault and panics + reboots. Could we have done this without kubernetes? Sure, but we wanted to just get the teams thinking about better ways to solve their problems that involved automation vs more manual messing around. Centralized logging? Already have that. Failure of an Auth system? No different than without Kubernetes, you can use sssd to cache LDAP / Kerberos locally. Missing logs? No different than without kubernetes, etc. For us, Kubernetes solves a LOT of our headaches. We can come up with a nice templated "pattern" for continuous delivery of a service and give that template to less technical teams, who find it wonderful. Oh, and we run it bare metal on premise. It wasn't a decision we took lightly, but having used k8s in production for about 9 months, it was the right one for us.
Hey friend,

I'm sorry that you've had a bad experience, but we can help. Our support team will gladly increase that limit for you on request.

On the stories that you read, I hear you. It's a tough situation because I don't want to discount anyone's story. What I do want to point out is that there are two sides to every story, and in such a relationship one party has the duty of protecting privacy of the other. Sometimes we make mistakes and we need to correct it. Sometimes what we do upsets people when we work to protect our customers from those who would seek to abuse our platform. Abuse of our platform lowers quality of service for everyone, and that is why it is our duty to manage that. Each story will have it's own variables, and I'm happy to discuss anyone's situation with them personally.

If you have any questions or there is anything I can personally help with, please feel free to reach out at jdonnell@digitalocean.com.

Totally agree, Shiffman's channel is excellent! Looking forward to pouring over the ThreeJS implementations.
There is a sort of "in between" use of the term for a VPS that doesn't share the underlying real server with any other VPS instances.

Like these: https://www.scaleway.com/baremetal-cloud-servers/

That's pushing it a little for me. Certainly calling a regular VPS bare metal is silly.
I get what you are saying, but if the charity is for a thing that you want to see grow then you are essentially spending money on yourself. These people probably have so much money that funding a new public building in the spot of their choosing could be like buying a new car.

>We often hear gym goers doing "training" rather than "exercising". That usage in itself shows a sense of vanity, may be a result of general identity crisis

You're reading way too much into a domain-specific term. "Training" is just when you have a regimented exercise schedule and routine to improve your body. Of course there do exist gym rats with motivations and goals a more reasonable person would consider obsessive. That's because there are for any pursuit. But your post is a long just-so story about a kind of person that the HN audience is predisposition to dislike.
The topic of IKEA has always fascinated me because of the bizarre contradiction between IKEA's public image of social responsibility and do-goodery that is in stark opposition to it's dark financial, corporate, and business practices. Between the nested dolls of corporate shell companies and offshore accounts to basically pay zero taxes anywhere while claiming a mantel of social responsibility is intriguing to me, not just for the way in which they are so easily able to deploy dark patterns to fool people.

IKEA has been exposed as having used that shell game of corporations and foundations to obscure illicit wood sourcing practices ... all the while people feel good about buying furniture amidst a whirlwind of diversity and social responsibility and environmentalist PR propaganda. It's utterly fascinating to me, it's like observing how a cult leader operates to snare and psychologically rope in their members and then brain wash them so thoroughly that they can't even operate without anchoring everything in the cult. If you were to strip away all the social justice, diversity, environmental responsibility, social do-goodery propaganda, you are left with a corporation that by all indications that are only available in a gleaning fashion, is quite devious and malevolent. It's very existence as a company that produces what is essentially throw away furniture alone, by itself, when you think about it, is in stark contrast to the very notion of environmentalism and ecological responsibility, even without examining their sourcing and manufacturing practices.

It's all just such a fascinating exposition of the gaslighting nature of the European corporate culture in general where the facade of social responsibility that is projected outward to the commoners is in direct and stark opposition to the nefarious activities and behaviors of the ruling elite that remain obfuscated behind their now legal and tax and accounting walls, where they would have remained hidden away behind castle walls in the past. It's very much at the core of the subject article; where these "charities" that serve to boost an image of benevolence, are actually far more self-serving tax avoidance malevolence. I am all for lowering and doing away with taxes whenever we can, but what is worse is dishonest and insincere taxation and charity that are far more fraud and theft than the benevolent do-goodery they are touted as being by the psychopathically dishonest.

Why should lower taxes only be something for the elite that saddle the middle and lower classes with the costs of their exploitation? ... well, because nothing has really changed from the aristocratic elite of the past, even though the methods have shifted and the labels for them have been revised and rebranded. All hail the king and our lords.
This honestly makes me sad. I really did think google was different
Donors are not always better off not giving to charity. There are many ways to corrupt the "charity" by designating it for purposes that solely benefit the donor or their tribe, in which case the "charity" simply ends up being a vehicle used to obtain a tax subsidy (the taxes not paid by the donor) for the donor's causes, which may not benefit society.
I don't think this cost comparison is true if you look at the older generation iPhones still for sale. Yes, a Xs is extremely expensive, but choosing a 7 or 8 drops the price significantly and these older models still hold up well.
I've been switching to Apple as well from Google/Microsoft, and the only challenging part so far is grabbing a professional icloud username. I'm very, very late to the icloud e-mail party, so literally every e-mail that doesn't have a chain of five numbers on the end is taken.

I wish they'd add a few more domain options. Oh well, services are wonderful otherwise.

Hoping they refresh the Macbook Air this October so I can move away from Windows 10 automatically installing candy crush every time I do a clean install. Windows is moving right back to the bloat of yesteryear, but this time it's Microsoft bundling the garbage.
What about a charity founded in 2020 to make sure everyone has access to vote? Should they also be punished, because of the non-existent example you cited?
Be happy about working on things that are feel way to hard - it means you're learning fast.

Write code for fun. Find a hobby away from computer for sanity.

Consider the risk of burnout - even with great mentor and challenging work a toxic environment is not worth it long term.

Care about ergonomy of your workspace now - adjusting height of monitor costs you nothing, good keyboard and wrist rest cost less than you make before lunch. Carpal tunnel, ulnar neuropathy and back problems will start hitting you and your friends when you are teaching peak of your career and are no fun in general.
> The question is, if you have any of these problems, why is it better to get your head into how Kubernetes deals with those operations & tools rather than dealing with well-defined unix tools that specialise in doing these jobs. syslog instead of however Kubernetes gathers the logs, reading FreeIPA docs instead of Kubernetes auth system logs?

The author answers this--learning how to stitch together a bunch of disparate unix tools into a smoothly-operating system requires a whole bunch of professional experience. The author claims that k8s requires the same amount of experience but scales; personally, I think he's being too charitable (or to take a different perspective, he undervalues the difficulty of being a traditional sysadmin). Perhaps he meant "for a single machine". In my opinion, once you extend beyond one machine, k8s is quite a lot simpler.
These are nominal returns, real returns are worse. And the returns over 10 years, for example, are quite irregular and can be negative. And over the next 10 years one should expect to get lower-than-average returns because valuation is high currently.

No it's not. You get a new email, set all incoming mail from the old one to forward to the new one, tell the people you are in contact with about the new email, and then just change the email on the services you use when you use it. Don't go around to all the services at once. Just the next time you open up GitHub, change it, next time you open up your online bank, change it, and so on. And after a couple of years, shut down the old one. It's not hard at all.
Honda commits $2.75B in partnership with GM’s Cruise
It's not a mess unless you have some weird hangup about billing people and agreed-upon rate for an agreed-upon service. I freelanced full-time for 3-4 years, at one point with dozens of active clients, and never missed a billable hour. It's not difficult if you have a system to track and bill. Yeah it takes time, and it's a grind, and there are times you'd rather just not do it, but to imply that freelancing makes it easy to miss hundreds of thousands of dollars in billables, which is a non-trivial percentage of most folks lifetime income, does not jive with my experience in the slightest.
I find it amusing that you consider XML bad and recommend blockchain in the same post.
Hey, thanks for feedback!

Regarding "we do it like this at Facebook" -- could you point out examples where this isn't useful, and we could remove them? I wrote some of these, mostly to highlight that if something works for a massive codebase with 50,000+ components, it will probably work for yours, even if it doesn't look familiar. I don't know what's an alternative way to say it without losing the core of the message.

Regarding the tongue-in-cheek one. Well. I don't feel strongly about changing it if many people feel this way.

Exciting news. As Todd's blog notes we are expanding the company, especially in R&D. Quite a lot of engineering positions open! Looking for talented people with passion and humility.
This. It's perfectly fine to use GKE or AWS. Trying to set up your own cloud provider for a small project? Crazy.

The amount of hours you have to spend learning how k8s works just to set it up properly from scratch will far exceed the r&d and operational cost of a less sophisticated small project set up from scratch.

Pay for managed services, or do it as simple as possible.

I think the problem is an "anonymous tip line" just for criticizing or whistle blowing purposes is too limited in scope. There are plenty of other reasons people need anonymity where you can't setup a dedicated, anonymous system. You would also be at the mercy of those who setup the system, because you'd be calling it with your "real ID" telephone line. If you setup a general system that allows anonymity on-demand, it will be abused.

I'm not advocating for or against this, just trying to work out the ethical model where citizens are protected, but criminals can be identified and prosecuted. I don't have the answer ;)
