>biologically men are programmed to seek many women whereas women are extremely choosy

Every time someone repeats this mantra an evolutionary biologist shoots themselves. Please don't cause more suicides.
Disclaimer : I get paid to setup k8s clusters for the bandwagon folks

From my perspective k8s is really good for a company who has a team of experienced SRE who can manage k8s well and the company has a marketing team driving new development that needs to get to market fast

It is not cheaper than simple autoscale groups, it is not easier than rebuilding packages with jenkins ( rpm spec files or debian src rebuilds )

It is however the current popular framework so if you want to ride the wave learn it. Also learn how to migrate away from it as that will be a future role as several early adopters are pulling back out of it.

The larger issue is the simple fact automating cloud infrastructure is not trivial so abstract layers lets more people implement things without understanding the lower levels giving folks the appearance of having a complete framework.

It works great until it doesn't. Then it is interesting watching people try to figure out how to fix it.

Learn the lower levels of Linux and k8s will come to you organically

I guess AI doesn't exist then.
Mobile tethering is not new. It was around before the iPhone but I believe back then you had to connect your phone to your computer.
This gets at the heart of fake science. Everyone today thinks surveys or studies are science.

The purpose of a paper is supposed to be to contribute something new to a field, not just perform a statistical study.

But you or I cant say that now as so many organisations use "studys" as the basis for their field while maintaining that they are scientific.

For me, the fact this is even being discussed really is good news.
I mean you can very easily add MIT code in a GPL licensed project because MIT is more permissive. However adding GPL code to an MIT licensed project means you now have to comply with GPL's more restrictive "list of permissions" when you weren't before.
It's not only dang and sctb moderating this website! It's well known that there are other moderators as well, and also pg posts quite frequently using the nick name "nailer"
I have a degree in statistics and I've never understood p-values. Even if it's unlikely that you'll get the result you expect with 5% likelihood, there are enough people doing enough tests that you're going to have 5% wrong answers. And that philosophical problem doesn't go away by choosing a different percentage.

Likewise, we're supposed to assume that there is something magical about our prior assumptions? Why? Where is it written that our null and alternative hypothesis should conform to what is true, when our best ability to predict the future (as people) is based on our past experience? The world doesn't always behave predictably, and yet that seems to be baked into the assumption of every regression test ever run. Completely bonkers if you ask me.
Would you mind elaborating on what use case you think a mouse could come in handy for when you would be using a tiling WM? I recently switched over to one and the only time I've used my mouse was when I had to click on something in Firefox.
Serious question - what is the purpose served in closing that loophole? What damages are averted or gains realized to society?

I agree the current system is silly but I don't think going more restrictive is the answer.

What if anything should be permissible? Would say for instance - you can commission a Master Sword copy or make one and sell it but manufacturing them enmasse be verbotten?
> it makes some different tradeoffs than traditional POSIX systems and in some cases it’s objectively superior.

I'm curious if you (or anyone else) have examples here. I haven't touched a Windows system in nearly 20 years, so I'm genuinely curious.
I was looking at https://k3s.io/ as a better configuration management solution than just pure-docker. Because I like kubernetes, I used it, I know it.
Well thank you for laying out the kinds of activities that are permitted.
> This entire editorial is essentially content free.

An editorial is not intended to produce new content, e.g. report on new news, only to state opinions about the known state of an issue. To that end, this article cites a great deal of highly detailed content to which it links towards in making its argument. I had no idea there was a newly reported data breach just on wednesday this week, for example. I'm also certain that tens of thousands of people will first learn of FB's new dating initiative via this editorial, and in that regard it is valuable that the NYT will put a much needed cautionary spin on this information. Too many people still have no regard for the harm they do to not just themselves but all of their social contacts who have any digital connection to them whatsoever when they give too much information to companies like Facebook.

it is most certainly valid to point out how inappropriate it would be to begin giving Facebook a whole new class of sensitive, personal content for which they can mishandle and sell to foreign governments for illicit or unethical purposes.
What is different about some applications?
I certainly wouldn't fault them for putting the story under source control/versioning or even the location they did it, but there'd be benefit in separating them into two different projects/solutions as you could essentially have a separate "engine" project that could be reused for future games and then different projects with assets/story/etc for any game that comes down the pipe.

Now, if the intent is a one off and they have no intention of drinking from the same well so to speak, go nuts.

Docker sold its soul for money at the cost of its core product. The second you take as much money as they did so you can have your luxury box at AT&T or whatever else I’m going to find it increasingly hard to sympathize with your future mistakes.

They publish articles that they think will get views, I don’t think you need to read further into it than that. People like to read articles shitting on big tech companies. You can interpret that they way you want to, but I think it would be dangerous to assume that The NY Times is pushing an agenda that their readers don’t agree with.
copy paste from RMS: open source != free software, and GitHub has already done enough damage to encourage developers to ignore the existence of software lincences
>the standard solution was to simply have someone else (non-jewish) do it, e.g. local gentile boys used to spend saturday mornings doing minor chores in jewish households for some tips

That sounds like a bad incentive. If a shabbos goy decided to convert he would have to stop being paid, which means that you would be paying the shabbos goy to not convert.
> Sainthood in the Church of Emacs requires living a life of purity—but in the Church of Emacs, this does not require celibacy (a sigh of relief is heard).

Now there's a quote that didn't age well... That whole page is just... strange...
> ..., I no longer go to Docker to solve problems that could be solved in Docker (secrets anyone? without the "hacks"), and just look towards the other tools solving the problems.

Are you talking about k8s or do you mean something like bitnamis sealed secrets?
You may not be able to force it.

For years, I slept as late as possible, and hated waking up early. Something changed this summer, wherein I suddenly began waking up super early of my own accord, and then going to bed early to compensate. And I enjoy waking up early now.

I'm still unsure if this will be the new normal, or if it's a phase that will go away as suddenly as it began...
> one of the slowest front end frameworks

What metric are you referring to here?
I live next door to a large, modern, outdoor mall (which is very popular; it's a horrible pain in the butt around Christmas). These are obviously not the "dead malls" that the site is referring to.

As a kid from the 90s living two miles from a near-dead mall and within 25 miles of 3 completely dead ones, I'd love to see them convert the walking areas into a large skating rink[0]. Heck, I just ordered a Onewheel and live in an area that is regularly covered in snow -- that'd be a hell of a venue to roll around in.

Granted, it's a terribly inefficient use of the land, after insurance/marketing/staffing costs, etc, it'd probably be impossible in most places to charge a ticket fee that would be profitable.

[0] I have to believe this has been done somewhere, already. The Lions used to play at this horrible venue called The Silverdome in Auburn Hills, Michigan. After they moved to the new stadium in Detroit, they used to do open skating on the weekends around the outer concession area (the large ring you walk through to get to your seats). It was a few bucks plus rental fees and was always busy.
Well yeah if you have no hobbies you'll find fewer avenues for meeting people. Taking an interest in people and things they do is a basic requirement if you want to bond with them.

In the UK the biggest supermarket is rolling out charging in their car parks.
You have a choice of not buying an iPhone - like 80%+ of the market.
And then the siphons ramp up from 3 to 4. Which pumps more money into UBI. So the rentiers raise the rent again. Which pumps more money into UBI. Now the rentiers are in a game of Chicken with the Fed, with respect to hyperinflation. Their owned property has about the same value no matter what dollars are worth, so it is a game of Chicken with one person in a bespoke killdozer with front-impact armor, and the other player in an AMC Pacer with a floppy purple protuberance duct-taped to the hood--the owner-rentiers will win every time.

You can't beat the rentiers by taking their cash. You have to undermine the value of their ownership, by taking away the pricing power of their monopolies and oligopolies.
They’ll definitely keep dropping at least one iOS every year on average. Right now the 6S is going to be 4 years old. If they cut back to only 3 year old models. That’s pretty recent. Will be interesting to see if they do that. Removing the 6S Plus is also interesting. I thought maybe they’d give the Plus or higher end models a year longer to incentivize purchasing those.

t’s not really a huge deal to me that they’re likely purposefully going to try to keep the newest iOS limited to only a few years. Supporting 4 year old devices is still pretty good. And being on an old iOS for a few years isn’t the biggest deal.
Gotcha. When I sold my businesses it was always from direct conversations with other people, always inbound in my case. And always asset sales not stock sales. Same for acquiring, I have reached directly out to a business but never used a broker, and I only bought assets.

You've probably seen it but Patrick McKenzie (patio11) has talked about his experiences using FEI, https://www.kalzumeus.com/2016/08/26/kalzumeus-podcast-episo... . And I swear I thought he posted some other details on it, but I don't see any I have saved.

Nathan Latka also talks about it in his book, "How To Be A Capitalist Without Any Capital".

I am not really sure of any other specific online brokerages outside of some of the basic ones like https://www.flippa.com. It may just be me, but every time I look on Flippa I see people wanting, sometimes quite a bit of, money for something that is worth $0 in business terms. Essentially what I see is they want to be paid for their time building something that has no revenue, no customers and no marketing which isn't a business it is an unfinished, unvalidated project. And I get it, I respect their time is worth something, but I do not understand why anyone would buy a "business" when the founder hasn't validated someone is willing to pay for it. To me it isn't a business until there are customers using the system that you can turn into revenue.
> As an example of nuances in Italy once there was strict law regarding ransom for kidnap cases that would immediately freeze all bank accounts of your close relatives.

This seems so absurd. Freezing banks accounts cause so much issue to everyone involved, you just made an incentive not to declare a kidnapping and trying to solve it without interference from the police.

For sure you'll see much less bar if you make drinking illegal, but believe me, they are still there ;).
Wow, just realized English has two phrases that are homonyms but mean very different things:

• “rite of passage” = “a ceremony or event marking an important stage in someone's life”, “when an individual leaves one group to enter another”. (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Rite_of_passage&o...)

• “right of passage” = right of way, “(approximately) a country's right for its ships to pass through the territorial seas of foreign states and straits used for international navigation”. (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Right_of_passage&...) Seems to be more often a typo for “rite of passage”.
Of course, that only allows for exporting data out of your app. If you want to import data or work with it this doesn’t really help.
Seems like a decent probability outcome to me. But it also seems like a decent probability outcome that we hit the end of the line of what’s feasible with silicon lithography in the next couple of decades and computing substrate progress basically stalls out for decades or longer until some other breakthrough happens. A parallel would be the stall in progress on personal automobiles until lithium ion batteries made electrification possible in the last decade.
Data definitely belong in the repository, not only because you want to version your assets too, but also because chances are your code at time T is also meant to work with your data at the same time T - so you don't even attempt to do stuff like trying to figure out when some bug was introduced with current data (that could cause or hide the bug or your older code not even working with the current data).

You could try to put your data in some other repository, but since you are versioning that data anyway, that introduces additional pointless complexity and besides the code is useless without the data to work with - so just stick them together and be done with it. If your VCS cannot handle that, instead of having it dictate your workflow towards an inferior solution, change your VCS.

At least as far as games are concerned, data and code are interwoven and any other approach is guaranteed to either fail or produce unnecessary and easily avoidable complications.

Windows doesn’t really have a window manager like the concept from X11. Basically the apps get messages and by using the standard libraries to handle a selection of messages, you get the behavior you’d expect of a Windows app, like the maximizing and minimizing, resizing and the Windows 10 specific zooming behavior. But there is little coordination and no separate process that draws window frames or something like that.

Also normal apps can’t send messages to elevated apps because there are ways to take over apps by sending the messages that you can’t really defend against.
The talk section of Wikipedia speculates it might be a hoax. There seems to be a single reference to that pistol (and every other reference points back to that one).

My bet is that the laser pistol never existed.
The point is to deploy immutable images that were clean rebuilt from scratch and tested prior to deployment, rather than upgrading an environment which becomes risky after some time.
Another added value is automatic actions based on container watchers, traefik for example will self-configure on the fly when you just spawn a container with the hostname in a label.
If deployment becomes that easy then why not leverage gitlab dynamic environment feature and deploy on $branchname.ci.example.com so that you can have say a product owner to review the development prior to merging to master (which would deploy to staging if you have an aggressive CD strategy - which I do)
McDonald's is installing chargers at their locations in Sweden:

Presumably with the idea that they'll make money on the charging and get more business for the restaurant.
I think you must recognise that you're an outlier.
There's also AppGrid[2] for Mac, which I've been using for years and still use to this day. It's simple but flexible.

Some applications like to reset their own position occasionally, or don't take kindly to being resized from an outside process. WinSCP is an example where workspacer tries to resize/position the window, and WinSCP itself listens for the move event, and moves itself. workspacer gets that second move event, and cycles back and forth forever.

For the few cases where it doesn't work right now, I have ignore routes setup in my config file (so workspacer will just ignore any matching window). I should probably make a list of the few common apps that are weird.
> Just look at what is happening to telecommunication services, with big corporations growing their profits while Americans get stuck with slow and expensive service that becomes relatively worse comparing to other western countries.

I get 1 gig internet service for $80 a month in a mid-sized American city in the midwest. No complaints here. The offerings just keep getting better and cheaper.
There is no loophole. Infringement is infringement even if you're small potatoes and haven't been sued yet. This isn't a fair use issue when you're engaged in commercial sale of appropriated works.

Well Google is certainly trying their hardest to give Apple the upper hand by discontinuing Google Play Music in favor of YouTube Music. I don't know a single person who actually likes the new YouTube Music.

I ended up switching to Spotify as a result.

>> Meanwhile, what's your best atheist argument?

Maybe rephrasing this whole think will help you see this whole argument from different side.

They have to prove that this imaginary friend exist.
Its crazy to think I would have to disprove that existence of imaginary friend.
Early versions of Bitlocker on Windows suffered from this.

If you make a public repo, Github literally shows you a little chart that shows you how "Complete" your repo is. And if you don't have a License, Contributing, and Readme files, then that chart never shows as completed. What about that is Github encouraging developers to ignore software licenses?

Infrastructure projects are heavily regulated by corrupt politicians, to the point where most of housing cost is basically regulation...
Any forcing action will realistically occur one sector at a time as the laws and morality catch up to that sections actions. This is simply a morality push against one sector, and its not as if we're not moralizing against other companies for doing this. HN will simply see more of the tech side of things due to the inherent bias of articles posted here.
I do not agree they should use "the cloud" but what is all too common is local, city, state, and even federal governments, love to enforce regulations and laws upon others they do not obey themselves.

the first rule of laws and regulations should be, government must adhere to the letter if they are to be enforced upon others seeking penalties if compliance is not met.

it is really difficult to hold government agencies responsible, it doesn't even have to be computer security, just look at the number of cities in the US who violate lead levels in water. even better, in the US, a lot of what happens can be protected from suits by sovereign immunity.

So keep it simple, what is required of private organizations and people is the minimum standard that a government agency must meet

That would make the FAA look bitter and petty in addition to incompetent, it would trumpet their embarrassment and make them look worse than they already do, not avoid it or hide it. But in the long term, agency politics aside, it would be better for all of us if these agencies did independent reviews.
