Kubernetes isn't an application platform though, in the same vein of Heroku. That's what Application developers want, and they're simply not going to get it. It was never supposed to be that.

Kubernetes competes with AWS, in a sense. Its a standard API for interacting with any cloud resource. I can give an AWS ASG an AMI, tell it to create 10 instances, and it will do it. I can give Kubernetes a Docker image, tell it to create 10 instances, and it will do it. You wouldn't expect application developers to enjoy creating AMIs, or maintaining them, or worrying about the global high availability of their 10 instances; they wouldn't enjoy that with AWS, and they won't enjoy it with Kube. And they shouldn't.

The confusion comes from the fact that Kubernetes needs to be deployed somewhere; well, lets deploy it on AWS. And now there's this expectation that Because we've created a layer on top of AWS, this layer should be closer to the application development process. It is! But, not as close as it could be, or should be in a productive shop. Kubernetes isn't the endgame; its just a better place to start.

There are two angles to this problem that I hope Kubernetes continues to see improvement on in the coming years:

First, cloud providers need deeper integration. Kubernetes should replace the AWS/GCloud/AZ API. If you want to access object storage, Kubernetes should have a resource for that which Ops can bind to an S3 bucket, then applications go through the Kube resource. If you want a queue, there should be a resource. This is HARD. But, over time I hope and do think we'll get there. You can already see some inklings of this with how LoadBalancer Services are capable of auto-provisioning cloud-specific LBs.

Second, we need stronger abstractions on top of Kubernetes for application development. Projects like Rancher are doing some work in this regard, as well as KNative and many others. Even, say, the Google Cloud console is an example of this, as it does a great job of hiding the internals behind friendly forms and dialog boxes.

We'll get there.
SF is not the Bay Area, the data often gets confused.

And SF is oddly very, very different from San Jose or Palo Alto - they're literally different climates, like 10 degrees differential on most days!

SF proper is a very small city, less than 1m people!.
The small wooden trapdoor acts as a plughole for a short section of the canal, allowing it to be drained into the culverted River Tib some 15-20 feet below for maintenance.

The trapdoor itself can be seen at 15:00 in the video.
The data is suspect. Anecdotally, and throw browsing the Craigslist classifieds, the rental market seems to have softened some since the peak a year or two ago.

Specifically looking at the Mission, there was a time that a sub-$3000 one bedroom was very rare. Now you can find plenty in the $2500-$3000 range and even some decent ones below $2500.

There is also more inventory.
The `.editorconfig` file in question actually also instructs GitHub to display source code in your repository with a given amount of spaces-per-tab. Just place the file in the root of your repository:

root = true
[*]
indent_style = tab
indent_size = 2

That being said, GitHub's default setting can only be seen as a spaces mongering ploy to subvert the true usage of tabs.

The Bay Area is particularly problematic in this regard. There are quite a few cities—Boston I’m most familiar with—where you go an hour out and prices are pretty reasonable. Not Rust Belt reasonable but reasonable. Not so much in the Bay Area.
That is true. That's why I wrote:

>> SF bay area has none of all that and yet is super expensive wasteland of suburbia. SF city is better but not even comparable to major cities of the world.

Most SV jobs are in the bay area. Even concerts, sports, shows in SF are in bay area not in SF proper.

SF proper is smaller than Jersey City or Brooklyn, with lesser walking stores/restaurants, lesser community activities and anyone not in a rent controlled apartment cannot live a life without stress in SF proper.
A lot of the OpenStack engineering processes, and tools supporting them, were actually really strong for an open source project from the ground up. The problem was that a lot of it was engineering for engineering's sake without a care in the world for usability or what someone would actually use the end result for.

Devstack is a great example of this, because it became a critical building block for continuous integration but also meant testing was more focused on whether you could run it on a developer laptop than ever get an actual cluster working.
To be fair, police (and firefighters) make six figures because they have powerful unions who finance the campaigns of the very people who decide their salaries. Ironic that the people charged with protecting our communities are the ones destroying them.

>Make SF into Manhattan and watch prices fall.

I don't see how that follows. Manhattan is Manhattan, and yet prices still rise, families and communities are still displaced, and there are still people that are un or under-housed.

In America, housing is an asset that appreciates in value for the purpose of resale. For the middle class, housing has been the primary means of accruing wealth and for many is the entirety of their retirement savings.

A society that guaranteed housing to every citizen would be fundamentally, structurally different than the one we live in today. It's not a simple urban planning problem.
When headhunters contact me about SF (or even Bay Area) jobs, I just scoff and shut them down. If you're fresh out of school, no family, and willing to live in a hovel for some interesting life experience, sure. But if you're an adult, it's no way to live. And putting kids through it is frankly unethical.
I can't blame them. They need living income. The only people destroying this place are NIMBYs who won't allow faster construction of more units.

Ultimately businesses have to relocate to find talent. Seattle, Austin, NYC and Boston are super well-positioned. Amazon HQ2 is important for this very reason. It is a gigantic churner of talent and can do wonders.
It's just reporting, no payouts.
I actually did try Emacs for a while for exactly the reasons you point out. I heard how great it was and wanted to see for myself what all the fuss was about. I used it exclusively for a few months and gained some familiarity with Elisp, but eventually ended up going back to Vim (for a variety of reasons that I'll not get into here). In my experience Vimscript is "easier" in the sense of going from an idea of something I want to do to actually implementing it.

Even after using Emacs + Elisp for all that time, I never experienced that transcendental moment that so many fans of Lisp dialects seem to share.
I am very curious as to what they are going to do for revenue when the self driving cars take over and prevent the millions of dollars in fines drives acquire each year.
These are my thoughts: we need to water the desert and fertilize the oceans.

Use wind, solar, and biomass powered generators to desalinate water and pipe it inland. Pick locations that would have local positive rainfall feedback.

Pump oxygen into deadzones caused by nutrient runoff encouraging algal blooms. Either harvest it or let it die and sink to the bottom of the sea.
> causal models are what tells you when you can combine datasets and when you can't.

but then the causal model is subjective right? What if there are two different causal models, and a priori cannot be known which is the "true" one?

Can the selection of the causal model be used to justify the dataset, in order to push a particular agenda?
That seems very odd. Were you exercising regularly at the time?
To the downvoters: I moved to SF/BA 3 years ago after living 8 years in Paris (France) and before that 20 years in St. Petersburg (Russia). There is noticeably more culture and diversity in both Paris and SPb than in SF/BA.

What is peoples experience with bucklescript and reasonML?

I feel like there are probably a lot of easy targets available. Look at the network requests between the client and server and see if there is anything that looks like its not validated. If you see ids try changing them and see what happens. Quite often it seems that the back end just trusts whatever the client sends. Especially if its a mobile app or a SPA because new devs seem to think the api is only visible to them.

From reading some of these hacks on peoples blogs it seems like quite often they just man in the middle a mobile app and find out the api provides way more info than should be shown to the user and the ui hides it.
Wow, that's really silly that someone went out, made a hard realtime system using Linux as the lowest priority level, and then called it RTLinux. RTLinux for years had meant Linux with the PREEMPT_RT patches.

In any case, SpaceX doesn't use Linux for hard realtime systems.

> They do not have hard realtime requirements

https://lwn.net/Articles/540368/

And I probably wouldn't use the RTLinux for a real hard realtime system if I were making the choice. Putting all of the realtime code in the same memory domain as the rest of the Linux kernel is a huge surface area for corruption. I'd probably use sel4 with a virtualized Linux to get the same semantics.
From that sense I guess people get wasted with only a few sips of Absolute are gifted. I could never get to the point where I could consume a whole bottle of Absolute in a single month. It was way too strong for me. Beer do me good though, I last a few pint before I fall asleep. And that is good enough for me.

I have seen people who can keep drinking what I thought were literally diluted Alcohol. I guess your body takes damage without them knowing it.

I'm also confused by the china comparison. I'm not aware of any google tech China is using to oppress, but even if that is true, your China example is technology causing more oppression. This is the opposite. The technology reduces the oppression.

You're presenting a very weird moral arfument. If you thought that not supporting this app would accelerate the fall of the Saudi regime, I'd say you're naive, but ok. But you're not saying that, you're saying that American companies shouldn't work with groups you don't like, even when the result is objectively good, because, for lack of a better term, virtue signalling. Why?
Why Facebook still seems to spy on you
Well it depends.

I'll agree with you that if you work at a rando tech startup, the costs of living are going to be quite high, and make it probably not worth it.

But, the whole equation changes if you are working for a big 5 tech company, or hot unicorn company.

These companies will pay you double what the rando startups pay. Who really cares if you are paying 40k a year on rent, if your total compensation breaks 250K.

And getting 250k+ as an engineer, with a couple years experience, is only really possible in the Bay area.

That’s a pretty funny: the next front could be a battle between FAANG (each of whom need the others) for/against privacy.

I don't think paying bug bounties is a good model in long run.

We should instead pass laws to make disclosing bug to the company/users affected mandatory without any payment for the same for greater societal good.

BusinessVPN | Go Engineer | Anywhere, REMOTE | FULL-TIME | https://www.businessvpn.com

BusinessVPN is building a next-generation cybersecurity solution for SMBs that want the ease-of-use of a consumer VPN (On/Off), but need centralized management, powerful web filtering, and end-to-end encrypted audit logging.

We are growing the team and adding a Golang engineer to work on our custom VPN framework for the server and cross-platform clients. This is an exciting opportunity to be a part of a new B2B SaaS offering and to directly influence the product. The work is challenging, but fun for the right candidate: cross-platform apps, user management, SSO, billing, end-to-end secrets/key management, device management, application delivery, to name a few!

Our infrastructure is managed with Packer, Terraform, and Docker and we use both AWS and bare metal hosting providers. We're strong believers in a "less is more" philosophy and still use Makefiles and shell scripts with a sprinkle of Python in our build process.

Requirements:

* Cross-platform (native or hybrid) app development experience (macOS, Windows, Linux)
* Familiar with network protocol design, C10K problem, and Go garbage collector highly desired
* Secure systems design experience is a nice to have (cryptography, AWS KMS, Secrets Manager, etc.)
* Experience containerizing applications using Docker (e.g., Kubernetes concepts desired!)
* Familiarity with Curve25519, ECDH, secret sharing, WireGuard, osquery, MDM, etc. are a huge plus!

Compensation Salary DOE | Health/Dental/Vision paid 100% for U.S. Employees | Flexible Vacation Time | Employer paid STD, LTD, and Life/AD&D | Additional perks if on-site in Denver, CO office, such as lunch/snack and transportation benefits

Interesting if they offered this service on a charitable basis as a detriment to abusive sex tourism.
Seriously, it is so good. I wish I could still program in OCaml professionally, as I did in the past.
Currently my team uses Heroku review apps for this, and the experience has been excellent. Opening a PR for our frontend automatically opens a review app, which gets designer sign-off before code review.

So you just determine the value of reports/the person reporting based on his English?

Do you know there are many researcher who don't have very good English? It's specially true in countries like Germany and China where you rarely need any other language for your work.

I am sorry but you just make it sound like anyone who doesn't have very good English is low IQ, dumb person.
Excuse my ignorance. SF doesn't look anywhere like Hong Kong, possibly the most crowed places on earth, and it is not close to Tokyo or Seoul. It has plenty of Spaces, for many coming from Asia, most part of SF is like country side so to speak.

What cant there be more housing development on the edge of SF, or taller building with many smaller apartments etc. Underground packing lot?

Was there a reason you didn't go the Haskell -> Js route? Less mature but benefits of keeping the same language would have trumped the downsides? Besides compilation speed you mentioned...

Edit: Have you tried Scala.js by any chance?
They're curating for user experience, not for political opinions. If someone uploaded a vim clone google isn't taking a stance in the editor war by letting it stay up.

"Saying it's OK with them." If they made a public statement "we are not ok with this, but the app stays anyways" is everyone satisfied now? Everyone knows google is in favour of womens right. People want them to take it down because they think google won't, so it gives them an opportunity to complain about how sexist google is. Then the next time something happens regarding women near google, they'll say wow google is so sexist remember how they made women get permissions slips to travel? When in fact google is completely powerless before the might of a nation state, and the worst they can do is make saudi arabia host the apk on their own website.

Americans complaining about spying by other governments, even if true, would be the top of hypochresy.

It is so blatantly clear that the motivations to fight Huawei are mainly because of losing the technology race, that it is not even funny.

That the US pretends to dictate to free countries what they should buy or sanction (Iran) is not cool.

That the US complains about state intervention when its whole technology lead was built on state investment is funny.

That the US complains about technology stealing when it built its industrial base by stealing European technology is insufferable.

You know what? Just let the world be.

True, but having lived in Berlin (Prenzlauer Berg) and Bay Area (Palo Alto) I have to tell you the scenes, and intensity, are very very different. SV in particular (Moreno than SF) is very tech oriented while Belin is more e-commerce and food delivery.

Thiel in particular is German and has made some particularly scathing comments about the German startup scene (to the German press).

I got a DeX Station for my S8, as the official ones are really cheap on eBay now. Plugged into my Dell monitor & bluetooth keyboard and mouse, it's a surprisingly good desktop experience. It feels like the direction Apple might be heading with Marzipan too - imagine if there was an iPhone dock that let you run iPhone apps just like desktop apps, like an alternative to a MacMini.

The DeX Station has a built in USB port, and the big surprise for me was that you can plug in an external USB hard drive (and with the right software you can access Windows NTFS & Mac HFS drives), and it even works with my Focusrite 2i2 audio interface. Once I plug in the Focusrite, suddenly my phone can play music over my JBL studio monitors. (I haven't had a chance to test if I can record phantom powered microphones at 24-bit 96kHz with it, but I've seen blog posts suggesting that should be possible too.)

Technically nothing, the correct response to As far as I know cannabis is completely legal in Amsterdam at least in smoking parlors. is just what I said. It is not de facto legal either, it’s tolerated and police still retain the power to arrest you for it. The fact that it’s not aggressively policed or prosecuted changes its social status, not the legal status.

If the reason is stress, scaling back is probably the wisest option, but if that is not possible for one reason or another, and mental problems enter the mix, people should never be afraid to seek out professional medical help.
