the latest incarnation of openshift is basically just a bundling of kubernetes. like GKE or EKS, but on-prem.

the hybrid-cloud dream therefore is to target k8s as your runtime, and then spread your workload across N cloud vendors and on-prem resources.

regardless of if you think that's a good plan or not, its the perfect sales pitch to the fortune 500 cto who doesn't want to go all-in on "the cloud" but realizes he has to "do something".
Because they tried and failed.
FWIW, I read that passage as being presented somewhat ironically.

> ...however if that glue actually works I might as well do that with 20 sht tier providers and let the redundancy cover gloss over it. No competitive advantage for cloud providers - and each of the cloud's various competitive advantages are by definition not hybrid-able easily.

YES! I might be the only one that wants this, but this is the future I want[0][1][2]. As technology makes it easier and easier to run a cloud compute/service provider, more competition will improve the offerings.

I don't know what "shit tier providers" you're referring to, but I'm not convinced of the additional value AWS is delivering when running certain services (I'm thinking postgres) which are already pretty excellent by themselves. In the end you need to hire for AWS expertise (and spend time boning up anyway/reading docs when things go wrong), and for 90% of apps 1 mid-tier postgres instance (not even a highly-available) instance is all you need until you really get traction and can afford to hire someone to look after it. I think the future is going to see the bifurcation of management (making sure it's up/efficient) and hosting (providing hardware), and plummeting prices for both as more people enter the market.

The super perplexing thing is that cloud providers jumped on the kubernetes bandwagon so quickly and this is what made this commoditization possible. Pessimistically speaking, this means either they're either about to butcher the cross-cloud usability of kubernetes (i.e. drift between EKS,AKS,etc) or kubernetes was a wolf in sheep's clothing from the start.

I've been cautiously watching the Service Catalog[3] feature in Kubernetes because I think it's one of the places where vendors are exerting the most control to see how it goes -- I've brought it up before, but the "Service Catalog" is basically identical to the user Operator (Controller + Custom Resource Definition) pattern, but for some reason it's being treated as different...

This is in line with the idea of Missing Middle housing. We used to have more rooms for rent, SROs, small houses etc. Then we largely zoned and regulated them out of existence. The ones we still have are often very old and grandfathered in.

We desperately need to solve the housing supply problem. Government not only can't solve it, it really shouldn't try. It should be looking to deregulate some and get out of the way.

I've studied this problem space for a lot of years. Government interference is part of the problem.

I don't want a nanny state that tries to provide for all your needs. I would like to see single payer healthcare, but for the housing sector, I would like to see government work on being less controlling and less interfering and let the private sector have maneuvering room to handle this.

I wish this company all the best and much success.

Plenty of stuff isn't interstate commerce. The expansion of Federal Commerce Clause powers is the result of a more expansive application of the Necessary & Proper Clause.

Which is why the recent FAA decisions are absurd on their face. Even if you agreed with the 1940s era precedent expanding Federal powers it's still trivial to reject application of the FAA to most commercial transactions. The FAA expressly limits itself to interstate commerce. And an expansion of federal powers doesn't in any way, shape, or form require or even suggest that a court should reinterpret the settled application of previous statute, particularly when the text, intent, purpose, and history of that statute was quite obviously circumscribed to a particular class of commercial transactions.
Something that's fascinating to me is that at 1:1 display size, the output of modern cameras doesn't look that much better than the pictures out of old 0.3Mpixel still cameras of nearly twenty years ago. The dynamic range is better and the colors are more vibrant, and the noise floor is lower for dark scenes, but on the whole it still looks pretty crappy at full resolution. Why is that? Could we fix it by using larger CCD/CMOS sensor pixels and sticking to lower total pixel counts?
> While I’m definitely a lot more fluent in it now, I dunno, it just still feels a bit weird to me. I could share some specifics but that would only invite a bunch of angry nitpicking comments. All I’ll say is that when I go over to projects where I’m writing HTML or HTML-like stuff (Vue, for instance), it feels like a breath of fresh air.

JSX is fine, the real power is building your HTML in pure JavaScript. I'll never go back to a template language, in my mind they're a fundamentally flawed design. They necessitate introducing extra concepts and implementing some magic rendering voodoo -- for what? So I can write my code twice, once in the JavaScript and once in whatever weird template directive language the framework uses.

So for me the only real alternative to JSX is to do elm-html style nested function calls which tends to be much uglier. JSX isn't perfect but it's the best we have by a mile.
behind the china great firewall so unable to open this article, but in general i agree with this title, i was also observing simple things while in china in terms of eating habits, typically meals in asia are family style and you grab small portions of each shared dish unlike in western countries where you have a full meal placed in front of you. when i was growing up in the states, i was always told not to waste food, so if given a big mac, it's getting finished, if a big plate of pasta, devoured. this probably can explain the differences in waist sizes between the 2 regions, asians eat more family style where you take what you can eat instead of being dictated by chilis, olive garden, or mcdonalds in terms of what your body requires from a meal.

diet is pretty important for me now as i try to watch my weight, i drink water or hot tea only, absolutely no soda, juices, etc, i also try to eat 60-70% capacity per meal as i dont exercise that much, mostly just sit in front of the computer all day, so there isnt a need for all those calories like before when i was lifting weights and playing basketball for 6 hours a day, few to little carbs (bread, rice, pasta), some fruit for snack, and absolutely no junk food. obviously if i exercise, i will have a little more carbs that day. but overall do you need that many calories a day?

you also need to train your stomach, it's like a balloon, eat too much and it stretches out and takes a while to get back into its initial size, so try not to binge eat (binge drink also, i used to olay tennis, could drink ,2 gallons of water in an afternoon), also keep in mind physical pro-portions of food/drink, so dont eat 4 slices of pizza and beer, go with 1 slice, and maybe some salad, some red wine.

I turned down a job offer with such an adversarial company this year, only interviewed so my recruiter would keep sending interviews.

I knew the company by reputation: that they had a habbit of suing customers for patent violations. The commute would have been easier. Bit longer (train) than the job I took (driving 15 miles opposite traffic).

The job I took pays $20k less a year, but is worth it when factoring in less unpaid overtime, shorter commute amd reduced stress. My wife wanted me to take the higher paying job, but after explaining that, per hour, I'd be making less and only home for 1 waking hour during the week, she agreed. Also have better health insurance at the lower paying job.
I got really excited but then the site was a bit of a let down... forms to fill, missing guide... meetup last October...
It's been a long time since Verisign was a public CA.

The Verisign brand lives on, but it was acquired by Symantec back in 2010, Symantec then sold their CA business to DigiCert back in 2017. So although you may find certificates with "Verisign" branding on them, that has nothing to do with the company named Verisign.

Every bylaw and city planning initiative "curtails freedom" for the sake of engineering a better, more efficient community and better quality of life. The issue with (in particular) single family residential zoning isn't that it limits what land owners can do with the land - in the city, this is unavoidable and very much desirable. It's that it artificially incentivizes inefficient, unhealthy and socially disconnected car-centric suburbia.
Same problems as with self-driving cars and speech recognition: it's very very hard (if not impossible) for software to parse the universe of scenarios. Said another way, it's never accurate enough to "work" when it's trained on the outside world. Usable output requires the kind of accuracy you only get when the process is trained in controlled environments (limited "vocabulary": fonts, layouts, languages, words, accents, geography, etc.).

> The super perplexing thing is that cloud providers jumped on the kubernetes bandwagon so quickly and this is what made this commoditization possible.

My view remains that this was the purpose of Kubernetes: to scorch the earth ahead of ECS. Google had nothing to lose by doing so.

> I've brought it up before, but the "Service Catalog" is basically identical to the user Operator (Controller + Custom Resource Definition) pattern, but for some reason it's being treated as different...

The Service Catalog is based on the Open Service Broker API, which in turn was extracted from the Cloud Foundry Service Broker API. I hear folks say "it's not declarative", but typically this turns out to mean "it's not a YAML file". The fact is that OSBAPI is literally about telling the platform: hey, I need a service for this app. The brokerage process then works out how that's achieved. One such mechanism is Operators, there are also brokers that can apply Helm charts.

The major difference is really about the CRDs as the point of interface. There's a fork or project somewhere which presents OSBAPI as CRDs (ie, YAML submitted to a remote REST endpoint) instead of as CLI commands (ie, JSON submitted to a remote REST endpoint). I feel like that's the best of both worlds. You keep the internal consistency of service discovery, service binding and service injection, plus the thing that really adds value: checking the YAML into revision control.

Disclosure: I work for Pivotal. We compete with Red Hat / IBM. We also cooperate with them on OSBAPI and a number of other projects.

If you're talking about listed stocks and such, then the licensing caveat I mentioned, so only some firms will be willing to take you, especially since US tax and securities laws are particularly strict. Easiest is going through a US-based ETF or mutual fund that targets the world ex US or specific regions/countries. Otherwise several US brokers can give you access to foreign stock markets at varying costs. Either will also simplify your tax situation vs. using a non-US firm (foreign bank and investment accounts are a US tax reporting nightmare, even if you live overseas, and also the US has agreements with many countries to exchange tax information, so you'll still need to pay). Whatever you do don't invest in a non-US mutual fund, as the tax treatment is usually quite punitive.

Note correlation across stock markets is higher the last 10-15 years than it has been before then, so that reduces the diversification benefits.
> even if maybe it isn't technically addictive

Can you clarify that? Addiction isn't a black and white, it is a sliding scale. The science is pretty clear that sugar has "habit forming" properties and has withdrawal (in human[0], animal[1], and population studies[2]), it is very reasonable to call it addictive unless you're using a very narrow definition.

Fatty foods are a little more complex because there's different types of fat, fat found in processed food is often combined with other ingredients (like complex carbs). What I am saying is "I don't know."

I've been semi-following the bootstrappable builds stuff in general - that work is already listed on my page https://dwheeler.com/trusting-trust
Mescc is obviously an example. Years ago Bellard demonstrated a bootstrap using tcc to compile the Linux kernel (which was pretty amazing).

I think the approaches could work together well. Bootstrappable builds reduce the size of the binary you have to trust, and DDC can act as a check on a binary.

Thanks for asking!
Body shops would be able to bring in many more workers, and supress wages further.

The dearth of middle income jobs in the USA is in part caused by these body shops flooding the domestic market with questionable talent, driving down wages and living standards severely.
Comcast used to do this to me about 6 or 7 years ago to tell me, or someone, about torrent use on the connection and something or other about copyright infringement. They'd inject their messages into the html of websites and you'd have to dismiss them to continue to use the site. Not their site. All sites.
Another Red Hat associate here... Using OpenShift doesn't necessarily mean managing your own infrastructure. There are a number of cloud-based managed OpenShift offerings out there from multiple vendors, including Microsoft. But you can also run it on-prem where it delivers tremendous value: better infra utilization, agility, security, productivity, portability, etc. Simply decoupling the lifecycle of the app from the lifecycle of the host is a huge win for many enterprises.

Well it is considered a "Temporary Visa" and for a specialty occupation.

>Generally, a citizen of a foreign country who wishes to enter the United States must first obtain a visa, either a nonimmigrant visa for temporary stay, or an immigrant visa for permanent residence. Temporary worker visas are for persons who want to enter the United States for employment lasting a fixed period of time, and are not considered permanent or indefinite.

White-balancing is a function

f(R, G, B, T_from, T_to) -> (R, G, B)

which relies on the model of blackbody radiation and a model of the wavelength distribution definitions behind the (R, G, B) values, i.e. the particular color space you're working in. When working with a manufacturer's RAW format,

Auto white-balancing is finding `T_to` so that the color values are "most balanced". It is up to the manufacturer how this is decided (and might be proprietary secret sauce). Custom white-balancing is taking a known white or grayscale object and finding `T_to` which would yield something close to (1, 1, 1) for pixels of that object.
This is incorrect: you don't need to be in the US at all to apply for any immigrant visa. I believe the Indian body shops perpetuate the fictitious idea that, similarly to naturalization, there is also a required time to be present in the country before being eligible for a GC. While I can see how it fits into their business model, it could not be further from the reality. Not only there is no required time to be in the country but there is no requirement to be in the country at all in order to obtain an immigrant visa - it can be all done in the home country and you can enter the US as an LPR without ever setting foot there before.

You still own your shares. You were not robbed, your gamble did not pay off.

Also, for this to happen, Amazon would have to be very very very bad at doing its job, which is to sell products for a profit. A company that is that bad at doing its one job has no god-given right to remain liquid.

There is plenty of space (in the Bay Area.) Look at all the land along the 101, Bayshore, near San Carlos, also, over in San Jose there are tons of huge empty parking lots, there's plenty of land along the 280 near Woodside and SLAC. Daly City, Pacifica, South San Francisco has plenty of space as well. Look at Mexico City's density and compare it to San Francisco -- look at Tokyo -- the problem isn't a lack of space, but white "limousine liberal" regressive elitists disguised as crystal worshipping Leonard Cohen fans who are happy legislating what everyone else can do but get offended if their views are spoilt by the hoi polloi. The irony is that these "progressives"[1] are far less progressive than any city or town in Texas, yet these people lament Trump voters for being populists, racist, or whatever other "-ist" that represents the outrage du jour. However, the actual regressives, the actual racists, and the actual elitists are the ones who fight tooth and nail to exacerbate the housing shortage. Because, a shortage directly benefits them. They can sell their piece of crap 2 bedroom knockdown in Palo Alto for $1.5 million while in Florida, that house wouldn't be worth $45k. Just 20 years ago, that house would have sold for $250k or even less. They're selling water to thirsty people in the desert -- but they're the ones that created the desert!

Tons of land available -- but no political will to use any of it because "open space" for rich people is more important than housing for everyone that needs it. To be clear, I'm not opposed to parks and nature, I'm opposed to people using open space as a weapon. The California Coastal Commission is also weaponized. I looked into building a house near the Half Moon Bay Area and it was an needlessly complicated and expensive process.
