The second version of Swarm (the first version built into the stack) was really unstable. It got a bad reputation very quickly in one area that it could not afford to.

That said, I was at a conference, talking with a CIO of a K8s related company, back during the initial days of that startup ecosystem. I was told off the record that Google and Redhat were offering an "marketing budget" for companies that would come on board the Kubernetes ecosystem. The person rightly stated that K8s was going to roll everyone else because of it.

Can't validate that - it's hearsay, but I definitely think that it was a big factor
> wearing mostly black clothes in hot areas has some disadvantages

What are the disadvantages? An advantage is that black clothes are better at radiating your body heat and protecting against sun burn - that's why people often wear black in hot countries.

Even Ubuntu is fine (this is coming from Fedora fan). If you are going for the long haul, do the following:

- use LTS. You don't need every 6-mo release.

- don't install packages from random ppas, if you don't know what they are doing to your system. Of course, do not install anything not managed by repositories, that would break your system (If I had a dime for every person that installed hplip/nvidia driver/etc from HP/Nvidia/etc site and just overwritten their apt-managed system files. It worked... until upgrade).

My parents also use Ubuntu; they are using it since 6.06, on the current hardware since 12.04. Upgrading them between LTS releases is non-event, aside the UI changes.

this is a good one and have been thinking about this myself.
Even with smallish projects that might have 10s of container based applications / services. In my case I end up with what is essentially a 3 tier architecture with each tier being a group of containers/machines with their own rules for startup/shutdown.

Interesting thread about “why did trackballs disappear”

Amazon doesn't sell Everlane, Gustin or Allbirds. Three clothing line's I've bought from over the past 5 years (more recently Allbirds).

IMHO /gets on soapbax/L

I think Amazon has burned EVERYONE who has used it, and would argue it has taught us to become more savvy shoppers.

The three companies I list go out of their way to be transparent about their products. This builds trust and loyalty. The faults of Amazon (and Yahoo! Shopping in the early 2000's) led to the emphasis on these new digital-shopping virtues.

It sucks. Every time I buy something on Amazon, I'm always suspicious if I'm going to get what I ordered. 95% of the time I'm satisfied, but ironically only because I buy fewer things. But I'm glad that more and more companies are going out of their way to validate themselves in the same way brick-and-mortar stores are authentic.
That would make sense. Thanks :).
Hong Kong makes 2 billion a year on public transportation. They did that by giving the land around the station to the transportation agency, so they lease it out long term, and that pays for all the trains and operations. They charge a token fee for using public transportation.

I'd prefer to see real public support, rather than a business/profit justification for lower fares, but in the current greed-valued world I'll settle for a greed justified way to create a community good.
That would be interesting to a poll on

Another example is the "utter idiocy" of Berbers wearing black clothing in the desert heat. (https://www.nature.com/articles/283373a0). Actually it's neutral (a far as temperature goes) but has other advantages including making you harder to see and, of course, social/decorative/signalling value.

This was actually the first scientific paper I deliberately went to find and read after reading about it in some other journal. I was 16. Luckily it was something approachable and so encouraged me to spend more time doing it.
Again, pretend you're a normie and imagine how you'd react when you are told that your computer has performed an illegal operation.

That's the sort of phrasing you don't want to inflict on everyday users.
So to access the manual, you need to setup a new phone, without a manual, and somehow glean the location of the manual, without a manual, and finally open the manual.
Do you have a specific job in mind? It seems obvious that you want to pivot to an IT/tech role but the particulars (aside from not wanting to work in web development) aren’t clear. I assume you will be looking for something interesting and fulfilling rather than a way to pay the bills.

So I would suggest looking at the question from this angle. What excites/motivates you enough to invest some time in it? What kind of job or context do you see yourself working in? If you are academically oriented, getting a degree will probably bring you the most satisfaction while you figure out the next step. If you’re more practically minded, I would suggest building your own one-man business, capitalizing on your interests and expertise (ML to automate lawyery stuff?)

Given your past experience, I don’t know what you would learn in a bootcamp and (in my opinion) a bootcamp on your resume has weak signaling power. I would suggest looking at apprenticeship degrees, where you’re at school part-time and work the rest of the time. They’re pretty common (in France at least) and some of them are explicitely targeted at people who already have had a first non-IT career. The upside is that you’ll get to work early on (these schools will usually help you find a company). The downside is that you’ll be working in a junior position. But, aside from starting your own business, I don’t see how you can avoid that.

FWIW, in my company we have an apprentice data scientist who used to be the GM of an industrial company in Asia! He caught the data science bug a few years back and he’s having a blast going back to school and learning on the job.
There are no signals you can program. That’s why we have brutal, demoralizing white board interviews.

Definitely not the former. The YAML-based configuration is not a pleasant app deployment experience. Companies end up needing to do some sort of auto-generation for it to make it sane for app devs.

App developers want experiences similar to heroku. They want to git push and have applications safely roll out without downtime or configuration.

Migrated my very small cluster from GKE to DigitalOcean's K8s a few weeks ago. I was using 3 nodes on GKE with 1 core & 3.75GB RAM per node, and the cost was around 100 $ per month including load balancer for the cheapest region, `us-central1-a`. Now, on DigitalOcean, I have 3 nodes with 1 core & 2GB RAM per node. The cost is exactly 40$ including load balancer.

I am a pretty basic user, I have started using k8s on this project as a learning and 100$ was too much for the learning price, but now on DO I get a similar cluster for less than half of GKE price and I feel like it is worth it, considering all the simplicity and observability of deployments. Also, DO allows me to select regions without any price difference, so I was able to select Amsterdam to get 10 times better latency from where I live. My setup is quite basic, my app with aroud 8-10 pods, + additional stuff such as cert-manager and prometheus.

YMMV, but so far I am really happy with DO's offering, both in terms of performance, simplicity and performance. I am not a power user and definitely operate at no scale, but using DO in general is much simpler than using GCP with GKE.
It's not anticipation.

It's experience, either from questions you received during lectures you gave, questions you asked yourself in lectures you attented to, or just road blocks you encountered while learning it on your own.

Every time I get a question about something in a training I give, I make sure people will never have to ask me again (unless it's part of the flow of the lecture). Every time I asked myself something, or blocked on something, I make a mental note of it, whatever the subject is. Sometimes, years later, I just happen to teach that subject, and it comes back to me.

I don't know why good teachers do that. Personnally, I started to do it out of anger. I felt like it was so unfair somebody failed to understand something because of a missing piece of information. I found it infuriating, it's a pain that has no reason to exist. We have been teaching things for centuries, why do we keep not communicating knowledge correctly ? Eventually I made peace with human imperfection, as I battled too much with my own, but the habit remains.

Maybe obsession is what makes anybody great. It's not sane, but it's a hell of a motivation.

In the book, The Secret of our Success, Joseph Henrich offers a perspective of cultural inheritance from evolutionary biology.

How do children determine who to pay attention to? who to learn from?
1. Skill / Competence ("whose arrows hit the target?")
2. Success ("who brings back the big prey?")
3. Prestige (cues of attention, deference)
- use what other people are doing
- they are worthy of paying attention to
4. Age (ie, scaffold to incrementally experience)
5. Self-similarity
- what might be useful to you later?
- males copy males, females copy females, etc

I still use USB Overdrive to make a physical scroll wheel work without crazy acceleration. Without it, macOS seems to scroll just a pixel on the first click of the wheel, maybe two pixes on the second click, but if I scroll a bunch, it jumps half the page. With USB Overdrive I can set it to just always one or two lines of text per click.
Maybe somebody can explain why this US-based project has to respond to German court rulings in any way. Is there any reason not to just toss any scare letters in the trash can or say "Jump off a bridge, we're not in Germany"?
I found this interesting as I use a trackball and pretty much always have. Right now I have an Logitech MX Ergo on my desk at home and work. For things like OmniGraffle I also have an Apple Track Pad for zooming in and out, etc. I just find the trackball better for 99% of my daily use. I also use a Filco Majestouch for the keyboard with Red Cherry switches. CMD-Shift for spotlight and everything seems to flow. I do miss the 3 button mouse, that needed a reflective mouse pad and my Type-5 Sun keyboard sometimes however.
It's worth noting that, despite its status as dogma in psychology, the Yerkes-Dodson "law" is almost completely unsubstantiated, having been generously extrapolated from an experiment on mice with somewhat dubious methodology, and not reliably replicated since then; the beautiful normal-distribution bell curves one so often sees are complete fabrications.

The mice were given 5 levels of (uncalibrated!) electric shocks, which has since been taken to be the "arousal" axis; their task was to learn not to go down a dark hallway, and the number times they attempted this before learning that dark hallway = shock has since been taken to be "performance". This resulted in a jagged 5-point line in which the fastest learning did not occur at the highest or lowest shock levels.

That's it. That's the experiment. Needless to say, even if the result were perfectly trustworthy, extrapolating this out to a neat bell curve that describes the performance of humans studying for a calculus test is unscientific. But like all pseudoscience, it has a sort of intuitive appeal. It should be noted that Yerkes and Dodson themselves never made any claims about "arousal" and so on - they were just trying to measure the effect of electric shocks on the speed of animal habit-formation.

Here's a fairly comprehensive review of the methodological flaws with Yerkes-Dodson, too numerous to go into detail on here:

I think the typical CRT fuzz is actually quite close to the optimum smoothing that could be achieved with a simple, analog system, such as was common in the 1980s and early 1990s - in that it should closely approximate a Gaussian blur! But lanczos (or hq#x) is crisper than that, of course.

(And yes, 320x240 did use 2x nearest neighbor interpolation on later video cards/monitors that could only display higher resolutions natively. But I assume that back in the early 1980s, you would actually get a "native" 320x240 screen, just like on a home computer or console.)

I'm reminded of the quote about how writing everything down is going to ruin the minds of young people for memorization.

In general, I'd argue that this is not so much 'de-skilling' as 'learning how to use tools'

I mean, I'm sure that before shovels, people were way better at digging with their hands. Before bows, I'm sure we were way better at chasing down animals through strength and endurance.

Sometimes there are knock-on effects that aren't so good; cars may be making us less fit, (I personally think this is largely a problem preferences; most people prefer a density level that makes public transit not so practical, and are willing to pay a huge price for this in terms of lost time, traffic deaths, obesity, increased housing costs, etc...)

But the point is that these new tools usually make us better at the thing we're trying to do.

When I started working on cars in the late '90s, all I had were the manuals and exploded parts diagrams. It is difficult to overstate how much easier a repair becomes now that I can type a few words in and get a video of someone performing the exact repair I need on the exact same model of car. As a shadetree mechanic who isn't an expert with the exploded parts diagrams, this is a huge game changer.

I've even used the youtube to fix a laptop, something you'd expect me to be good at. (I'm no longer a professional hardware tech, but I was never a professional mechanic; go back far enough and I did fix laptops and other computer hardware for money) a friend had one of those fancy, thin Sony laptops; they tried to replace a keyboard and it wouldn't boot. they then took it to a repair place, who couldn't figure it out.

The exploded parts diagram was impossible. But I looked up on youtube, and found a detailed teardown and assembly. I followed along with the heavily accented voice, and the laptop booted up like new.

You could argue that in a bygone era, I would be more incented to figure out how to go from those line drawings to actual parts, to learn how to read those exploded parts diagrams. And you are right, of course; but I didn't, and because of modern tools, I'm better at fixing things than I would have been.

I like your story too. But I have to point out that there are plenty of other stories I've heard. People who drop out and never recover. People who attend a public school and can't find a job since they are competing with people from better schools. People who never get accepted to any graduate programs.

So, while I like your story, I think that those with an agenda would view it as a justification for harsh policies - since some people succeed even when things are harsh. (Forgetting that more people succeed when things aren't harsh - and I've heard lots of stories to confirm that too.)

To expand on this: REI used to have a lifetime, no-questions-asked return policy. They changed it (sometime in the past few years, unsure I've only been in the US for a little over one now) to a 1 year no-questions-asked policy. This does not include things on clearance (they call it REI Garage sales online) as this is (as I understand it) mostly the returned items being resold to recoup costs. Clearance items (and electronics too) have a 90 day return policy instead.

I often pay full price at REI instead if cheaper elsewhere because of the generous return policy so I guess it works.
> My advice is to just write your own string data structures and functions.

I would rather not have to do this, and I would prefer code that I'm reviewing not do it either. C strings are error-prone, as you point out, and when I'm evaluating code for security issues, it's useful to know exactly how a function will behave in edge cases--is the buffer guaranteed to be terminated? is the return value the number of bytes written, like sprintf, or the number of bytes that could have been written, like snprintf?

A new function with new behavior is twice the work: you have to verify it is consistent with the rules it claims to follow, and then make sure it is being used correctly. One memorable example was a convoluted routine that I suspected was the same as strdup() but I had to spend a while validating it.

It's just a shame that so many of the standard library string functions fall short. This is the reason why there are so many security vulnerabilities, because there are too many nuances and inconsistencies. They messed up strcpy() so they introduced strncpy(), but they messed that up too so we had to create strlcpy(), which is not a drop-in replacement (and not portable apparently). So we've got 3 poor design choices implementing one trivial function, no clear replacement to reach for, and we expect every programmer to know this.
