Like with anything, it should be evaluated based on what your needs are.

For a simple deploy you probably don't need Kubernetes or even containers.

If you are running containers, you'll need a mechanism for running them. And maybe at some point you want something to recreate them when they die or become unhealthy. Maybe you want to run multiple containers, and you want to do rolling deploys of them. Maybe you want to run them on multiple hosts and network them together. Maybe you want to be able to attach a persistent disk to some of them, or interface with some secrets management software. And maybe you want a single, well-supported API for doing all of the above.

There's a lot more that can be said about Kubernetes; it offers a lot out of the box as well as an API for extending it when you need behavior it doesn't provide.

No, it's pretty much like this in the US too. It's very difficult to get legislation that takes >2 years to start paying off to pass at the federal level. If it takes > 2 years for constituents to realize any benefit from it, politicians generally have little to no incentive to push for it. You get the occassional rarity, but you need consensus, and the current system is built to reward short term gains, often times with the expense of long term losses.
Meh, I think architecture has its own version of it, with extreme form-over-function, and new projects insisting they have to look clever and pretty, even when those aspects make them near useless.

A friend on Facebook recently posted about an example of a bike path with three sharp turns that made no sense for being used as a bike, but -- the architects were happy to point out -- made it look like a big bike wheel from above. Hooray!
If you're going to use Kubernetes it's good to look at your business case or other need. Don't use a hammer if you need to unscrew something.

Kubernetes has it's place... I recently wrote a post on that... https://codeengineered.com/blog/2018/kubernetes-biz-case/

But, there are many times you just don't need it. Like, for my personal sites... just isn't a need there.

To add, can you imagine if IT had to develop every single application the business thought up? They would never cope. I think Access, InfoPath and CMS systems like Drupal allow business to create prototypes. Once the application has been validated and becomes business critical then IT can take over and develop a "proper" application.

It makes sense to use a visual programming language to create basic CRUD applications. A central task list with fields that are specific to the business process can go a long way in improving operational efficiency in a business unit. Beats an excel spreadsheet.

I think of these in this way: 99% of the apps are developed by the developers who are not in the top 1%. The cheap access to computing power has led to a growth of developers beyond the highly skilled ones who can milk out everything available in a less powerful computer. I'd like to believe we are at an Electron development phase where we just want to ship as much as possible easily without worrying about hiring great talent (And yeah I hate that its inefficient in terms of memory usage). This has led to the explosion of so many frameworks that does a lot of things easily which requires such complex devops pipeline.

And, who determines what the curriculum is? For example, for a while it was practically (or technically?) illegal to teach evolution in some schools in the southern US.

ViralQuotes – A bulk image content generator for social media [Feedback]
Hi, :)

I'm Nicolas, I'm a 28 years old Software Engineer from Montevideo, Uruguay.

There is a year since a launched my first micro SaaS (ViralQuotes https://viralquotesonline.com). It has been a long journey, and I really enjoyed it. I have 2 average buyers per month, which is enough to maintain it itself.

As a technical founder, who has a full-time work as a developer, it has been really hard for me to make a good marketing campaign. Also, I am a Spanish native speaker, so is very difficult for me to write posts or generate content to attract new users, writing is not one of my strong points, such is the case, that this is the first time I write a post in my life :/ .

So, my question is: how other technical founders do to generate content, or what marketing strategies use to growth they services/products/websites?

I want to clarify that ViralQuotes is a side project, I am working on it with experimental purposes, I'm not hoping to become rich with it, just learn as much as I can about being a founder and ship my own product to the world.

It would be great to hear about other founder experiences, I appreciate any suggestions, critics, ideas, etc.

Thanks!

So it’s possible that Google made statements in pending cases that they would not have made had they known that it could become public.

As a result, they wouldn’t want to grandfather in these cases, and reasonably so (IMO).
Oh, gosh. The infantile methodology of purposely misreading something so it's literal and thus nonsensical (or comical). I obviously meant financial institutions - which Bitfinex is.
My opinion is that this will come across as domineering/micromanaging, even if you really do need to verify that someone understands things the same way you do.

There are ways to achieve the same effect without an equally bad appearance:

+ You can break the work into smaller chunks, to create more checkpoints

+ You can have a plan that is very specific about what is to be done that everyone agrees to in a written form (if you have a meeting, someone should take notes and have them circulated after the fact)

+ Most lightweight, you can not present the plan in one chunk, but talk it through, taking ample opportunity to reiterate and solicit agreement (if you do this right, the other person will repeat what you said, without you ever telling them to--everyone is happy)

>Can you tell me how to calculate whether a system of particles will cause another system of particles to collapse or not?

You appear to be somewhat mistaken. Copenhagen interpretation does not postulate any specific explanation or mechanism for wave-function collapse, merely that "upon measurement, the wave-function collapses into an eigenstate of the observable being measured". This, of course, is a physically verified phenomenon. Now Copenhagen purposefully leaves the precise meaning of "measurement" undefined, since in my view there is no convincing empirical evidence that supports a specific mechanism for this phenomenon. Other interpretations posit mechanisms (decoherence (doesn't fully account), von Neumann "consiousness" (not empirical), etc.) for this collapse.

My biggest complaint about many-worlds interpretation is how it is in its essence a non-scientific theory, as it makes assertions about an unobservable reality. It postulates other parallel realities that by definition do not communicate. Again, this makes it intrinsically a non-scientific theory.

>Can you tell me under what circumstances a system of particles will evolve unitarily or not?

Everywhere except on measurement, in which the state collapses.

>How about in a delayed choice quantum eraser experiment?

I'm not familiar with this experiment.

>If you tell me "you're not allowed to ask those questions"

By all means, ask as many questions as you want. That's after all the essence of scientific endeavour. But it's not very nice to misrepresent other positions, nor is it to claim everyone else is deluded (without strong evidence on your side at least).

>Bell's theorem should have sent a shockwave through the community which forced everyone to reevaluate fundamental assumptions and self-correct wrong ideas.

Bell's inequalities force no re-evaluation. They simply prove that the search for a local hidden-variable theory is impossible. It certainly raised important ideas for research, but it does not do anything to discredit established QM.

>The claim that "the meaning of QM is outside the scope of science" is exemplary, I think, of that attitude.

If a physical argument can be made about this problem, then it's in the scope of physics. Otherwise, it is not. As simple as that.
There's so much interesting prior work!

I really enjoyed this paper “A Taxonomy of Simulation Software: A work in progress” from Learning Technology Review by Kurt Schmucker at Apple. It covered many of my favorite systems.

http://donhopkins.com/home/documents/taxonomy.pdf

It reminds me of the much more modern an comprehensive "Gadget Background Survey" that Chaim Gingold did at HARC, which includes Alan Kay's favorites, Rockey’s Boots and Robot Odyssey, and Chaim's amazing SimCity Reverse Diagrams and lots of great stuff I’d never seen before:

I've also been greatly inspired by the systems described in the classic books “Visual Programming” by Nan C Shu, and “Watch What I Do: Programming by Demonstration” edited by Alan Cypher.

Also, here's an interesting paper about Fabrik:

https://donhopkins.com/home/Fabrik%20PE%20paper.pdf

Danny Ingalls, one of the developers of Fabrik at Apple, explains:

"Probably the biggest difference between Fabrik and other wiring languages was that it obeyed modular time. There were no loops, only blocks in which time was instant, although a block might ’tick’ many times in its enclosing context. This meant that it was real data flow and could be compiled to normal languages like Smalltalk (and Pascal for Apple at the time). Although it also behaved bidirectionally (e.g. temp converter), a bidirectional diagram was really only a shorthand for two diagrams with different sources (this extended to multidirectionality as well)"

As a non professional programmer I much prefer the way you think about this than the author.

Rarely ever do I find myself programing for the sake of programming, it's always to serve some goal, to make some thing, fix some problem. If I write the worst code, in the worst way, and it still makes the light flash or the robot arm move, etc, then i succeeded.

I make heavy usage of the MIT Android app maker thing in my arduino and esp32 projects, and I'll be the first to admit that I use it so heavily because I have some minimal grasp of it and I've wrapped my head around most of its paradigms.

I'll admit that because I've only got a hammer, every problem is a nail, but taking away my hammer because im using it wrong just means I cant build anything.

> It's a reddit post from a French user who had configured Chrome to automatically translate French (this is not a default behavior)

First of all, the option was not to automatically translate. It was to suggest to automatically translate. Which is the default in Chrome for all languages other than whatever the system language is. Now, the whole thing about "suggest" is that it shouldn't just blindly translate, but ask first. But in this case, apparently, it just translated anyway.

And second, the user specifically said that they disabled translation for French. Which is almost certainly true, as anyone who is not a native English speaker but uses an English OS and browser can testify (you get bugged by Chrome about whether you want to translate every time you open a website in your native language, so after the first 2-3 times you click "Never").

> Physics, indeed all science, studies observable reality. Any "deep" questions about why or about things not measurable, quantifiable, or empirically observable, are by definition outside the scope of science.

This is wrong. Scientific theories provide predictive power, yes, but they should also provide explanatory power.

Which is to say, they should describe a model of the world because this is how we devise experiments, and experiments are clearly critical for science.

Two theories with equivalent predictive power but unequal explanatory power are not equally good theories.
