> Kubernetes solves a problem that most of the companies don't have

Actually most medium to large companies do have this problem.

There are often a lot of different languages, libraries, versions, deployment methods etc. And the appeal of Docker was that you can treat them all as block boxes. And the appeal of Kubernetes is that you have this rich support infrastructure to run them all hands-off at scale.

It definitely solves a problem. Just not particularly well.
There is also the issue of genuine items sold as new which are actually very well repackaged returns. Amazon does minimal (if any?) checking of returns and I have frequently received items that had obviously been opened and used then returned and sold to me as new. I very fondly recall opening the package for Wahl electric clippers and having a bunch of hairs fall out of the box, but it's far from the only occurrence. Of course, the item was shipped and sold by Amazon.

Also see the cases where houses burned down because of hover boards sold by Amazon. These items didn't meet the standards to be sold in North America and burnt a family's house down. They went to court and amazon won because "they're only a market place and your beef is with the manufacturer, and we can't tell you who they are or how to contact them because they're some fly by night company in China."
Apple wants to store your data in iCloud--I don't wanna. I don't trust them.

Apple is happy to learn a lot about you. Hence the feds can learn a lot about you through them.

But most important to me is this wretched speech by Tim Cook: https://www.macrumors.com/2018/12/03/tim-cook-adl-keynote-sp...

What a censorious tool. Soured me on Apple for, probably, ever.
I haven't had a problem either, but Asmodee did make a big stink about this last year: https://icv2.com/articles/news/view/39296/icv2-interview-asm...

Thankfully the web is hackable so I could just inspect element > change color to #000000.
When the definition turns to some kind of dogma, then it will fail.
I do have a family, and I find that very fulfilling. I do bemoan the time I have to spend working for others as time I'll not get back. Honestly having my first son really changed the math for me. I went from deriving joy from a job well done to realizing that time could have been better spent. Instead of being a good employee I am now trying to be a great dad. Work definitely gets in the way of that.
That's totally fair. It's on my todo list to try some other distros. I will probably try Debian first. I chose Ubuntu due to it being so popular and also because my company's IT supports it. But if other distros are more reliable then that's fantastic.
Why Not? They appropriated “real time” already.
Dude, just don't charge hourly and don't do hourly work. Only charge by the project. Estimate how long it would take, times by $100-$200/hour, then set that as your fixed rate. Just make sure you estimate 2-3x the time you think it would take just in case.
I recently tried out LTSC again in a vm to see how W10 has progressed. Apps take a long time to open. I thought it wasn't registering the clicks or something, until 30 seconds later it opened it 3 times.

Start menu takes > 0.5 seconds to even begin animating. Disabling animations actually makes the lag subjectively worse.

I installed W7 a few hours later to compare, and I was amazed at the difference in responsiveness. I'm talking like 10-20x faster.

I bought 5 year old netbook recently and it didn't have the resources to open W10's start menu. (Well, it could, but it took three minutes.) Did a fresh install of W7, and like magic, you can actually use the computer again.

I don't use any version of Windows anymore, but I'd like to be able to. I'm sad support for W7 will be ending soon.

With classic theme gone, and everything so slow, the best Windows desktop experience for me in this day and age is XFCE.
I installed Ubuntu on our spare laptop for general web browsing and day to day use. My wife used it for about a year. Not a week went by when I didn't hear about something not working. Granted, it's probably because I didn't spare enough time to set things up like our network printer and installing Office via Wine (she wasn't impressed with the FOSS alternative). I finally bit the bullet, bought a Windows licence and haven't looked back since.... Some things I'd be happy to put myself through, but would avoid inflicting on my non-techy family members.
Thanks for sharing this! Vorta seems to be exactly what I was looking for. I can't seem to get it up and running on Mac OS.

Edit: It looks like Vorta doesn't obey Mac OS's Dark Mode so it looks like the app doesn't launch.
aatv was a command line program, worked fine with my (analog) tv capture card (with built in mpeg2 encoder). May have been part of mythtv.

Ouch.
My company tried using Swarm 2-3 years ago and ran into the problem that it didn't actually work. Containers would just go missing from the network. Consequently we switched to Kubernetes. I imagine it does work now but it seems to be too late.

I've recently started using Kompose to autogenerate Helm charts from docker compose files and I've found that pretty satisfactory.

This is idle speculation from somebody who has no idea what they're talking about. Because it was published on Wired it has gone viral.

It's just technical enough that most people who don't have a clue think that it might be right so they spread it.

Anyone who knows about data processing, programming, or AI knows that it's a very stupid idea due to easy-to-implement fault tolerance (such as random dropout) in machine learning models.

LTS is Long Term Support, so I don't have to deal with every new bug. Upgrading always produces problems with ROS for the first year or so.
That just sounds so... backwards to me.
"Buses always win over rail"? In what way do you mean? Fixed routes like rail encourage investment around stations more than bus stops. Rail that doesn't share right-of-way with auto traffic can also be significantly faster than buses. Also, if you look at large cities with mature and widely used public transportation systems (London, Paris, NYC, Chicago), you'll find that both rail and buses are both integral parts of the system.

In terms of the cost, for systems that aren't heavily used (but nonetheless are essential) getting rid of the fare would probably actually save money, because the slowdown in service, the confusion over payment, and the whole infrastructure to support and enforce payment is actually more expensive than the revenue it generates. It would also serve the population better, be a more pleasant and relaxing experience for riders and drivers, and speed up service. So even if it doesn't increase ridership, it's still worth doing.
It's ridiculous how it fails to perform its one job, in such a spectacular way.

It takes several seconds for the results to load - I know performance may degrade in a VM, but come on! Searching through a list of strings is an interview question.

Not only that, all the key-presses of "Update" show the Java update program.. only when I add the final "S" it will show "Check for updates" system applet.

And with the amount of cpu/memory SearchIndexer.exe consumes, it's not even a bad joke.
> Actually a properly seasoned cast iron pan is about as non-stick as it gets

I've spent a lifetime hearing this and not being able to achieve anything close to it on cast iron. Either it's false or a skill that's beyond me. Either way I've quit worrying about advanced semi mythic forms of cast iron seasoning and just use non-stick.

I use a very seasoned cast iron pan regularly to sear meat ... and a little piece of chainmail to scrape off the clingons.

Could you describe Piccolo a bit? Can't find anything on it.
If you're a smaller organisation, then spending too much time on "what if my private network is not private" will also cause you to struggle.

For most people, in most practical scenarios, you have to hang your hat on something.

Yes, take basic precautions, but if you lacked the chops to keep your private network private, then you have little or no chance of preventing the ensuing attacks.
A more complicated web
Would you even know if they are good quality?
Those are your startups and web/app tier shops. Yes, they suck at sysadmin routinely and they need to be bottle fed a solution that fits the scatter/gather shape of their
business. They don't want OPs discipline. They want a programmable solution that performs systems magic with
a single toolset to learn.
1. I don't really think it is a different question. I am just saying that a lot of the revere for "boutique" gear isn't in its utility. (which is related to what the OP was saying). I don't deny there are use cases just that it doesn't necessarily match its reputation or price. You are the one saying it has to cost a certain amount, that isn't usually my experience. I would be interested in that case actually being made though, but I hasn't seen one here so far.

2. My intention wasn't really to argue against teenage engineering. I think they are doing good products in general and that people like them a lot. I just don't think they should sell it as ~DIY when it really isn't. Teenage engineering is specifically a sort of "design studio". It isn't that they suddenly needed marketing, they are founded by at least one marketeer from the beginning. They do seem to have the right idea in mind overall, but I don't think this is the correct way to do it.
Honestly, this makes me more concerned:

1) On UK, France Germany data: are you saying that EU trademarks must be used throughout europe in order to be valid? So supermac for example doesn't have a valid EU trademark because they operate only in ireland?

2) Self proclaimed numbers: I'm not aware of any reporting requirements for specific product lines. They're not reported for tax purposes.. just the overall company revenue/profits/etc. If McDonalds issued a regular report of revenue of each product line, that wouldn't satisfy the standard either, because that also comes from them. What independant authority could provide specific sales data for a company's product?

Further, if I run a small business, does all of this mean I don't have a valid trademark? After all, who will vouch for my private small business sales of specific products.

I understand these are the reasons stated... and that is why I would be concerned. I asked, how would a small business owner meet this standard of proof.. and in response, you just restated the unreasonable standard. So I'll ask again, what kind of evidence could be provided by a small business that would meet these standards? It appears that EUIPO has just set a standard that no small business could meet, and therefore has made it near impossible for small businesses to enforce their trademarks.
Using WhatsApp for Malware Persistence
Oy, you really did not understand why I moved, even though I explained it quite clearly.
Heh. I think something like the GTK3 application-managed header bar is actually the best compromise if touch-first interaction is going to become important. I mean, even Windows 10 now has huge titlebars in order to support the touch case, and that's surely no better than what GNOME/GTK does.
The wording here, "hordes" of young people is pretty telling of the bias of the writer. Young people are one of the most important target audiences of public transportation, since they aren't able to drive.
HIV isn't very contagious. That is why dying of AIDS was a strong indicator that you were gay. If it had been able to spread easily, everyone would have had it rather than just a tiny subpopulation.

5. All those new developers entering the web development community want to make a name for themselves, and there isn't as much opportunity for that if you are just using a framework created by someone else.
Intro to Docker, React, and Security
Switched my whole family on Linux 15+ years ago, call for support went down dramatically maybe 95% now versus then. There was a few hiccups along the way to find a suitable distro, dropping ubuntu was a huge improvement in this.

Most recent major issue is when Mozilla decided that they would remove support for ALSA with mentioning it in changelog on a ESR release and suddenly there was no sound in online videos and I had to scramble to replace firefox on a dozen of computers.

Almost all computers can be remotely administered over a secure connection, they have automated backups and most have unattended upgrade.

Issue arise when KDE releases half baked stuff and changes the way things worked, Mozilla messes firefox some more and systemd is being systemd. Once in while there is this family member who is too clueless/proud to admit he messed up who broke something or did not find way something obvious.

Kelsey has the answer for you: "Kubernetes is a platform for building platforms. It's a better place to start; not the endgame." (https://twitter.com/kelseyhightower/status/93525292372179353...)

As an application developer, you probably also don't work with the Kernel and syscalls directly (anymore), so I guess you can expect higher abstractions and a smoother experience for Kubernetes in the future.
haha maybe I shouldn't have judged based on a typo
KDE already does this.

I've never had that problem Amazon fulfilled merchandise (but have run into it with some third-party sellers, including one that sent me a product with "Bad - does not work" written on the box, so it was clearly a defective return).

But I have had some bad experiences with "Amazon warehouse deals" where they do resell returned/opened merchandise at a discount, once the product in the box was completely different than what it was supposed to be.

They've been good about replacing/refunding those but now I only order the warehouse deals if I'm ok with waiting for a replacement if the one they sent is bad.
In France, Lille did make it free for all. This is probably helpful to reduce car needs.
That’s fair, and as someone who has used cast iron for a long time, I won’t blow a load of smoke up your pants by claiming it’s “super easy!” I mean... it’s not complicated, but it’s also not hard to screw up and that’s a form of difficulty I think. Basically you can’t scrape it too much, can’t use soap, and unless the seasoning is very thick you want to be careful with very acidic foods. If you’re like me and like to sear steaks a certain way, it’s worth it, but even I’m not bothering with cast iron just for a fried egg. Cast iron shines most when you need to retain a lot of heat in the pan, otherwise it’s just a lot of effort for no good reason.

Non-stick caught on for a reason!
There has been a shift towards UI that gets out of the way and becomes second nature to us. Admittedly that dream hasn't yet fully been realized, but we are on that path. Removing clutter, HDD led light, noiseless computers all imo try to integrate computers ever more fully into our lives and make it as seamless as an integration as possible. One day we may have UI that feels so natural that we might just think of a computer as one of our organs.
One possible rationale: companies tend to specialize in one specific software domain, so you would end up with your graphic design software under Adobe folder, your Quake games grouped under idSoftware, and your databases grouped under Oracle.
Dark Hacker News Theme (Chrome Extension)

This is fantastic. I wish this movement becomes 'a thing'. Also see @socialcapital letter to investors: the VC industry underperforms S&P500. And nobody cares.
> Put users first and stop sticking your company names in their menus. Add a little structure and some reasonable heuristics. Done.

The concern is namespace conflicts. Users may be surprised to find a program has 'changed' when in fact another user installed a similarly named program.

That was part of the Windows 3.1 guidelines. On Windows 95, Microsoft's guidelines specified that your applications were to appear as single icons under the Programs menu. Unfortunately, most almost all developers ignored that and continued doing things the Win3.1 way.

Analytical vs. synthetic style of thought
I think that if there is a genuine circular dependency then the services won't start ever. But I think it is possible to introduce services that assume other services are up and have an apparent dependency circularity. The trick is to have all your services resilient to it's start requirements not being met - basically the service has to back off and wait if information it needs isn't yet in the environment... and then ask again - so that when other services are up everything syncs and comes up.
we should probably make an attempt to distance the term gravity from our model of the universe. when a mass is in motion an inertial wave is created, this is an inertial reference frame, the frame dragging that occurs is a set of harmonics, that are nodes in the hyperbolic field structure of spacetime. these nodes correspond to dividends of Pi, thus any inertial phenomenon "spirals down hyperbolicly" into subspace to become heat [quantum field pertuberance]
There are tons of people using linux distros who don't even know command line exists. One time I was helping my friend to do something. She studies design and is basically computer illiterate. Somehow she was using Ubuntu, not sure how that happened but she claimed to be very happy. Anyway, the problem was super simple, but as an i3 archlinux user I literally never use GUI so I fired a command line and solved it in one line. She was perplexed and wasn't really sure what just happened. She didn't even know what command line is. Anyway, to be more helpful, I also managed to solve the problem by clicking buttons...

It's not which is why trial and error is such an important concept. That's how nature works too. Sadly today innovation and research have become a very academic discipline which IMO means an unhealthy overdose of critical thinking and attempts to conclude rather than experiment and do constructive thinking.

Most breakthroughs didn't start with eureka but "hmm I wonder what happens if"

The reality is that most of these concepts aren't worth it but that some of them will be and that they are the ones that allow us to escape one way of thinking to enter a new one.
Kubernetes has always had an identity crisis.

Who is aimed at, app developers or platform operators? Clear, obvious contracts between the two roles are valuable, even if you decide to combine them.

I'm moderately hopeful that Knative will help in that regard, as it is more conclusively oriented towards the developer. But I am wary that since it leaves the implementation details completely visible, it may not achieve that goal.

Disclosure: I work for Pivotal, we have products based on both of these.

It's actually very simple. Cisco and Huawei are not on equal grounds. The first is a public company (as in publicly traded), HQed in the US, and subject to far more controls and oversight than Huawei, which is ultimately owned by the Chinese government.

I think it’s coincidental. Are you suggesting that attempts to create value almost always consume more value than they create? The entire economy is proof this is false.
