99% of the world has a job they can't afford to take leave from. and if you imagine that 99% of the world doesn't have a job that's taxing enough that they'd be burnt out then you don't understand menial labor and how utterly psychologically exhausting it is to do repetitive boring tasks.

So what then? People suffer and struggle and try to improve the lives of their children and then they die.

I say all this not because I'm the first one to realize it but because it's worth repeating. Hopefully someone reads it and it occurs to them how unfair it is.

I've lived in (and outside) Paris. Worked there too. For years. Walked. Biked. Buses. By subways. By car, own, taxis, ubers.

Going by a mix of foot, bike, bus/metro has _always_ been faster, more flexible and less costly than by car.

The only exception is when you've got a large/heavy package to pick/deliver.

No amount of additional cars will improve the trafic there.

Tarsis is thought to be refering to Cádiz in Spain. Cádiz was founded by phoenicians (if you visit, make sure to check the archeological museum [0]) to trade with the lost kingdom of Tartessos.

Tartessos is placed in the Guadalquivir estuary by Rufus Festus Avienus' Ora Maritima, but its exact location is unknown. There are some efforts to pinpoint it using satellite images, because its ruins could be buried under the sand.

> The difference between kubeadm and 'The Hard Way' is setting up a ton of certificates you then have to manage and manifests/config for etcd, kubelet, kube-proxy, kube-apiserver, kube-controller-manager, and core-dns. If you diff the default manifests of kubeadm and 'The Hard Way' you'll find they're not especially different.

The end results are similar but the process is vastly different. kubeadm is almost a one-shot tool, doing it the hard way is a learning process. I was trying to say that obviously when you want to just get it done (or script your cluster) then use kubeadm, but if you're learning k8s it's better to do it the hard way at least once. Building an intuition for for the system is made up of (and where to go/which logs to look at when something goes wrong) is important.

> 'The Hard Way' doesn't explain what's going on any more than kubeadm does

Even just following a guide, running the ancillary tools yourself, downloading and running the binaries, etc is way more explanation than kubeadm or other tools give you -- 90% on a fresh machine you just run kubeadm and you're "done" (for some sense of the word).

Before kubernetes the hard way[0] (which is a fantastic resource, though it's gcp specific) existed, I used the CoreOS guides[1] (this was before they started just pushing "use tectonic" and obviously before they were bought out and essentially merged into atomic/fedora/whatever) -- they were fantastic and did more of a walk through of the what and why of the pieces of k8s. Reading through these guides was essential to building my intuition about k8s (I've even written about the process[2]), and I think it's important for people to do this experimentation as well.

One of the best things about k8s is it's ability to unchain you from cloud providers -- using only managed k8s (without something like crossplane[3]) would be effectively squandering that advantage IMO. Yes most companies don't actually need to run multi-cloud, but I expect that the ability to offer k8s as a managed service interface will make it easy for anyone to become/run a cloud provider, and that's a future I want to see -- more cloud providers means more competition which means a better world for startups and those who consume hosting services.

It is worse than slavery because companies found they can create an environment for motivated wage slaves constantly competing with each other, aka 'culture'. And fire those who lost motivations in order to strengthen the 'culture'.

As a comparison, traditional slavery is extremely inefficient because traditional slaves are far less motivated, the master has to spend his time or hiring people to constantly threatening and beating slaves work.

First, I am not a chemist but this is something I've thought aobut a lot as a camper, a "prepper", and someone interested in Mars colonization (perchlorates!).

That would work but I imagine it's going to have some amount of inefficiency depending on the contaminant, you'd have to do several passes to get to really low trace levels I imagine as you're going to keep some contamination simply by what collects on the walls of the vessel and runs back down.

With some contaminants I imagine you could introduce more chemicals to get a reaction that would make the filtration easier. I imagine some could also be changed sufficiently by heating the sample to a point where you get a chemical change in the contaminant, although, I'm guessing this would be the most 'expensive' method unless energy wasn't an issue (fusion).

Debian stable moves very slow, which makes it an excellent base OS for a server since predictability dictates that your app brings with it whatever that it needs to run.

For example, nodejs on debian would be outdated, which would force you to setup your app to use a specific version of nodejs that you want to use.

Democracy is mostly a facade anymore, unfortunately. Don't get me wrong, we haven't gone completely south to a dictatorship--there are many protections in place to keep things from falling apart but nonetheless I feel as though we're in the decline in the respect of being democratic.

The underlying failed assumption in our representative democracy was that representatives would represent their constituents' interests and people would elect people who would represent their interests, all of course with hopeful protections for minorities. Obviously, this doesn't work.

We need to really set expiration dates on how long people can run campaigns and how long they can stay in a given office. Politics should be about solving problems and seeking continuous improvement of well-being for citizens in a given society, not convincing people they're happy, constantly lying, and playing manipulative popularity contests but that's where we are.
If you're talking to someone who is more technical then they'd probably appreciate a more thorough breakdown of what the 'cloud' is.

When my mom (who isn't very technical) asks what the 'cloud' is I'm going to say "Someone else's computer" because she doesn't care about controllers, servers, disk shelves, fabrics, etc., she just wants a general idea of what it is.

Another example of how some tech writers should work consumer IT for a while just to understand how little most people know or care to know.
The student has to learn programming skills that can teach them the fundamentals quickly, ideally be transferable to most fields and hopefully something they can use freely on their own time.

Python is great for this. You can have kids building whatever in class and they can go home and use the same tools and make videogames or visual novels or whatever else strikes their fancy, and when they get hired still use the same tools.

My main issue with haskell is that it's likely not very transferable. That isn't to say you shouldn't be able to use it or teach it - maybe you can teach something unique with it you can't teach with other languages, but that needs a bit of explanation beyond just "well I prefer it".

The education should serve the students, not tickle the fancy of the teacher.

I use slack for work and discord for friends. One feels like a labor of love and the other is a chore to use that I'd discard immediately if I could.

Becoming an enterprise product would cause discord to grow its organization a certain way, hire certain kinds of people, cause their product to be built by certain kinds of processes. And the qualities that make me enjoy using it would absolutely go away. It would become Slack. I think it's impossible to firewall the enterprise-ness from the rest of the org/product. When you have a great culture you have to fiercely protect it because it's fragile.

Of course that's my selfish reason for it not to go enterprise. Not a business reason.

I agree. As a kid the fun in Lego was to make specific things out if generic shapes. The special sets sounded like amazing before you got them, but turn into just more Lego once you had done the recomende constructions.

I kinda meant both. I feel silly not knowing that it's only "php ./script.php".

I also meant long-running processes, which it sounds like is still problematic. To be fair, it doesn't sound like PHP was ever designed to be used for long-running processes, to which I guess "Fair enough", but that might make things like a job worker queue more complicated if you want to write the workers in PHP (it sounds like you'll need a dispatcher in a different language because that would be a long-running process).
I like the "X by Example" books from O'Reilly in whatever your desired language is. Not exactly open source but quick to learn practical programming which is probably what you're after with adults.

As long as you're eating a varied diet (such as eating a good variety of plants) drinking demineralized water really isn't an issue.

I've been eating plant based whole food lately and at 1903 kcals yesterday I managed (per Cronometer):

- 636.1mg of magnesium

- 785.1mg of sodium

Which are the 3 big ones in common tap water. Even if you factor in a 25% error margin, through my diet I'm getting way more than I would drinking random tap water.

Matlab and a variety of other paid languages think otherwise
I think there is an intrinsic tension in how C++ is being developed: the desire to expand the language and the desire to maintain backwards compatibility pull in different directions. As this proposal notes, there are many mistakes in the language and the standard library that can't be corrected because of that desire to maintain compatibility.

Essentially, I think that over the next decade the desire to maintain C++ relevant will eventually win out and there will be several breaking language releases (or perhaps a very big one) where C++ will correct itself. Stroustroup's comment about how there is a "smaller, safer" language inside C++ waiting to break out come to mind. However, the impact on the ecosystem will be large, as it was with the std::string breakage, but probably worse.

If it turns out that I am wrong then I think that C++ will just eventually fade out, crippled by its own weight and internal inconsistencies. It will always be there because of how much software is written with it, but "I'll be the next COBOL" is not really a great life insurance policy.

In 1995 people said Java was a "better C++", but it was basically 1991 C++ plus GC (and numerous misunderstandings), minus concrete types.

Rust can do more of the things C++ can do than Java can, but there is a very great deal that can be put in a C++ library that is wholly beyond Rust's capacity.

If you have lesser expectations to capture semantics in libraries, or to use such libraries that do, Rust serves. But the gap will only grow wider.
