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.

You should still take the time to read the docs on the components and decide if you want to make changes. 'The Hard Way' doesn't explain what's going on any more than kubeadm does. It's just a set of instructions to follow (that are GCP specific).
The only alternative would be to create an elegant system that is also in itself an open standard. I don't see a way around this double requirement. It sounds like something mighty interesting to work in.
Nice, thanks for the reference case. I'll check it out.
Wow. That's simply fabulous. I'm seriously considering copying this idea now.
Performance of Google software on Google servers doesn't seem like as serious an issue.
Calculated cost of purchasing and operating a used Ford Focus wagon for 7 years and 124600km, minus what I sold it for when it looked like it needed a new transmission: 36k EUR, or 0.29 EUR/km. Given Germany's allowed tax deduction of 0.30 EUR/km for long commutes or charity work, this was a relatively inexpensive car to operate. I could have optimized even more by dropping my high-deductible comprehensive/collision down to liability-only after the first two years. Despite Germany's really high fuel taxes, fuel was only 27% of the cost.

Calling obesity a 'personal choice' seems a bit questionable to me.
It's part of Go's typical "we assume/declare that we do better/simpler without checking what/how other languages do" schtick.

Take error handling and package management for example - different approaches, hacks piled, etc, instead of just going with the program, seeing how others do it successfully (e.g. Maybe/Optional error, exceptions, etc), and get on with it...
Positive reasons:
1) It runs out of the box without and Internet ocnnection.
2) The IDE is extremely good.
3) It teaches OOP and memory management (something often forgotten by today's programmers).
4) It is capable of giving very low level access to the host machine (like C).
5) You can even use (and teach) tricky things like pointers.
Here's another treatment on the topic, and in particular, Graham's number:

> Labor costs are the only thing? Fuel efficiency and traffic

Is that the case? A quick Googling indicates that buses get 4–6 mpg; let’s go with the pessimistic end of that and assume 4 mpg. Diesel currently costs $3/gal and the average bus travels at 12.7 mph, which means that a bus is spending $9.53/hour on fuel. That’s a lot more than I expected, but how does it compare to bus driver wages?

Another quick Googling indicates that a bus driver makes a little over $15/hour. Double that for fully-loaded costs, and that comes out to $30/hr. That’s treble the cost of the gas, but still in the same ballpark. I’m genuinely surprised that the cost of fuel is so close to the cost of the driver. It may indeed be that fuel efficiency is a factor in bus size.
And the freebie GA doesn't limit you to a 25% sample across the board basically the bigger the date range and amount of sessions the more sampling you get.

>especially after Article 11 and 13 were drafted and forced through the Parliament

Both the UK Labour and Conservative Parties supported those.
But equally something being fun or worth doing doesn't mean you won't procrastinate doing it. Cleaning the house, for example, is definitely worth doing but many people procrastinate doing it, and it's actually a really good time to apply this technique:

You don't have to clean the whole house, you can just clean one room. You don't have to clean an entire room, you can just clean a bookcase. You don't have to clean the entire bookcase, you can just clean one shelf. You don't have to clean the entire shelf, you can just put one thing back in it's place. You don't even have to put it back, just go over and pick it up. ...

You can keep on going if none of those seem doable, right down to something like wiggling your big toe, but most people would probably at the very least find putting a single thing back doable.

And I've used an example of something that is worth doing but most people don't find fun, but there are plenty of examples of things that are both fun and worth doing that people still procrastinate (probably mostly occurs in mental health sufferers, but that was the entire point of my original comment).
Here is more detailed report on this problem in Europe [1] They seem to indicate levels many times higher are present in Europe than the EPAs suggested limited of 70 PPT. Although that limit also seems to be commonly exceeded in US. It is concerning that technical discussion over regulation is occurring while the picture of actual contamination levels is very incomplete [2]

But it's really not disingenuous. They simply don't provide value for money. They are, in economic terms, rentiers. Arxiv isn't all of the cost, but the arxiv costs are order of magnitude accurate, that's what Gowers showed. In physics JHEP is a good example of a high class arxiv overlay journal that is extremely successful without APCs.

The IOP and DPG with NJP also charge half of what IEEE Access do, and they are among the journals that actually provide some copy editing. As far as I recall my publications with the APS did not have any substantial proof reading done.

I actually think proof reading is a really valuable service, and I would be happy to pay for it optionally or in a transparent fashion. But even with proof reading we don't get to 1000s of dollars.

My understanding from talking to editors is that for professional societies, journal income subsidises other activities. Which is fine, but I would like to see that transparently declared. "APC 150$, Contribution to other IEEE activities 1500$". Structurally it's also questionable that library budgets should finance professional societies, but that's really the least of my concerns.
I don't know why they would, though.
They get paid and it doesn't steal traffic from them.
Unless Bing releases its own anonymous mode and DDG becomes a competitor.
Then they could charge more or force DDG to display "powered by Bing" in the logo. That would be the end of DDG.
Yeah, I even demonstrated this hacking tool to a friend to show I could (temporarily) change the content of any website
>I find Discord to be the worst UX for a chat app I can imagine.

Do you genuinely mean this or are you being hyperbolic?
Nope. It's as if that happens, though going past a regular Google search results page, which is dropped (hence along with the search itself) from history.
Actually a very good alternative would be Java and JavaFX, maybe using Eclipse as the IDE.
They probably kept in mind brain drain factor. Delphi isn’t all that bad though, it’s actually great to learn programming
This seems like more of a promotion for AWS Pinpoint than a criticism of GA.
I feel that compared to virtually every other use of plastic, Lego is probably the most benign. Compared to other toys, it is better built, lasts longer, doesn't need batteries, doesn't use obsolete/deprecated protocols, isn't fashionable / faddish, and is therefore typically used for a long time by a child through the years and then frequently reused by several people/families/generations.

My son is still playing with basic Lego bricks that were my older cousin's bricks in the 80's. The amount of plastic waste we've caused and gone through in the last 40 years is many many many orders of magnitude higher than those few sets :|
Industrial pollution like this is the lived reality of Capitalism and it’s inability to meaningfully account for the environmental degradation and destruction it causes. The problem isn’t “stop buying X” it’s that we need to “stop buying.”
I agree he should've searched for the name. But to say he simply "should've known about IRIX" because he has a computer engineering background is wrong.
> good built-in documentation

As someone who was a beginner in QBasic, the docs left a _lot_ to be desired, especially the graphics ones. As a teenager, I had a hard time make heads or tails of them.

Granted, that isn't to say I wouldn't be able to navigate them pretty well today, but I distinctly remember struggling to understand large parts of QBasic back in the day
>>> with this individualization I was flabbergasted a few times

Don't be! Kids are digital natives. And given programming tools designed specifically for K-12 they will produce useful programs. Operational applications beyond mere Roblox zombie shooters to manage their increasingly complex young lives ;)

I was working with AWS last summer with the goal of creating a cloud based IDE for ChromeOS. And I feel the current barrier is programming languages and paradigms as they exist today. Visual logic languages and blocks programming, dating back to Turtle Graphics and the original Logo designs from 1967 by Wally Feurzeig, Seymour Papert, and Cynthia Solomon have been used for generations. But I could see the next evolution as being voice based. In the era of Siri and Alexa, perhaps kids should be composing blocks as parameterized tasks spoken in natural human langauge. This is a big undertaking and more than I can handle at the moment, but I have been experimenting with a Google Nest Mini, and even simple trivia games or joke applications can amuse kids for hours. "Hey Google, what's the weather like on Mars today" opens a portal to infinite curiosity and exploration about the cosmos we live in.

The other era of promise I've seen is the engagement around simple physics games and simulations. Think of the level design mode in 2D collision games like "Crush the Castle" or "Angry Birds". With the amount of available energy kids have they are able to build epic structures and take delight in watching them fracture unpredictably.

Bottom line is these games and interfaces have to get much better. And that requires targeted investment as well as vision
I love the fact that you completely ignore that a large percentage of people do not have internet access, and even if they do it can be very slow.

Just because Delphi isn't cool doesn't mean it's not useful. It can teach many concepts that students can build on if they desire to.

Heck, you're acting like the first language you learn is even important. I learnt using Visual Basic 6 and it's not like I didn't go and learn new languages by myself.
I think many people here genuinely don’t have much of an understanding of what they’re talking about most of the time, and you just catch it for the things that you personally know about. Makes you think about what one misses and takes as fact based on comments because you don’t about other topics.

Also, good LTE availability is also probably because it’s easy to place towers on top of flats legislatively speaking, and due to ruthless competition between three carriers.
I use C++/C, Delphi, JS, Python. Also Java, C#, PHP and bunch of other but on and off basis. Here is my opinion

As a language Delphi/ObjectPascal is anything but ancient. It is kept up to date and has all the important features one would expect modern language to have sans garbage collection (well I actually consider this as advantage).
It produces fast native executables without any dependencies. It compiles with such speed that one can write shell scripts in it. It has the right balance between a mountain of complex features C++ has and something like Go. Its IDE is nice as well and full featured. Both language and the IDE exist in paid version supported by commercial vendor and as an opensource project in case of Lazarus/FreePascal. Sure there are some problems but show me the language that does not have any,

In my opinion the only REAL problems with the language/tools are all political. At some point these products were suffering from bad corporate governance and on top of that Microsoft went out of its way to actively destroy market for these in North America and along the way poached all leading developers from Borland including main language architect.

To make a conclusion I think that ObjectPascal along with the implementation is a good candidate for being used in many areas as generic well thought out language along with the IDE.

As for the article: I think it is a good move on Idera's side. To call it corruption is disingenuous I think. Many corporations are using the same tactic. It is friggin business.
Rules? We have ceased to be a society of rules. (And soon we will stop being a society of rule followers, which will signal the end of our civilization, but that’s a different rant.) Here in DC, we won’t even enforce the “rule” that you have to pay the fare. Good luck enforcing anything else.
Which reminds me of this article - https://medium.com/swlh/self-driving-cars-should-be-tuk-tuks...

Which reminds me that one concern with the Cruise vehicle is that, understandably, it looks as if it's heavy and built to US passenger car safety standards.

Whereas a tuk-tuk or jeepney designed exclusively for slower speed urban travel could be built sub-500kg which would be better for pedestrian safety and energy efficiency.

(Of course, especially in the US market, there are other factors that go into consideration, such as the perceived or real need to travel in 30+ mph mixed traffic, the need for large batteries that allow a high utilization factor between charges, etc.)
Despite the media's breathlessness on the subject, and when aren't they breathless? There has not been a singe "24" style case where the FBI needed to unlock some phone in order to save a stadium full of people. It's always some after the fact circle-jerk on a phone where the perp already wiped all the data. It's them trying to gain the upper hand on us and get everything they want--shitty, back-doored encryption.

It is a concern that they also hold. They are working on some sort of fix [0] (I warn you their website is annoying).
One quote from their website:

"The LEGO Group aims to send zero waste to landfill by 2025, and in 2018 recycled 93% of all waste from our operations. Additionally, 100% of all plastic waste produced during the moulding of LEGO® bricks was recycled. This includes reusing some of the plastic resin in our own processes, as well as sending some of the waste to suppliers to be recycled and turned into other plastic products."

This is just an overview of their plans but I also remember seeing an interview with their CEO talking about how many different types of materials are trying to address the waste.

I don't even know if most recent teflon products are supposed to be "safe" when scratched or otherwise, but I've been buying and recommending everyone to stay away from teflon products and buy only ceramic or stainless steel ones for a few years now.

I've noticed there are a lot of ceramic alternatives to teflon these days compared to a few years ago and it's not much more expensive. I do believe ceramics aren't 100% safe for certain applications either, such as boiling sour stuff, or something along those lines.
Istanbul isn't the whole country and it is a huge place. The sibling comment mentions Antalya, another large city. Both are going to have ok internet. Ergodan has done well to support the rural population where internet service is lousy. And that is only one aspect of having a self contained system.

Arguing over internet speeds when it comes to choosing a system for kids to learn programming on was by far weakest argument. I should have just removed it, as it was a straggler that was going to die anyway.
A debugger session is the equivalent of N runs with different prints and value changes. I do not consider I can work seriously without a debugger.
I don't know if you're tried online dating, but in my experience, it hasn't been "sign up for a month, find your wife and you're done".

I spent several years off and on with online dating (went on a lot of first dates, fewer several week relationships, and a few multi-month relationships) -- dating sites tend to give a steep discount for longer term (6mo, 12mo) subscriptions, so I was a subscriber for most of that time.

Ending up finding my wife offline though.

On the other hand, I found a housekeeper on Craigslist, called some of references (one was a neighbor), hired her, used her for a year, then when she moved out of the area, she referred me to someone else.

Turns out it's a lot easier to find a housekeeper than a romantic partner.
The salt mines in Hallstatt germany date back to about that period too, and have longer trade route reach than was previously believed as well.

Agree with a lot of that especially this part:

> Major version changes require source-code level changes in all files touching the package

I've always thought the tooling was half baked but would get there eventually. The introduction of modules has caused a split and put the tooling either further behind IMO.
For a concrete example, infrared (such as what's used for TV remotes) typically transmits data on a carrier frequency of 38Khz, but the actual data rate is much less, just a few hundred bits per second.

You are right, a bus trip I used to take regularly in London would take 15mins if you got the first bus at 5am, which was quite busy with shift workers. At 9am it would take 45mins with a similar level of crowding. A good portion of the journey was on bus lanes, but there were certain pinch points that killed the journey time in rush hour.
So next time I go to the US I should bring a LifeStraw?

The U.S. labor market isn’t that tight for non-supervisory roles and wages aren’t going to grow beyond inflation under current policies. We’ve been in a ten year expansion with no wage growth to speak for.
I would be interested to know what is the current trust level of the residents on the gov and EPA in the different states.

Not far from my living area a new gas rig started operating where the gov, contractor company and EPA (EPA of my country that is) argue the chemical emissions doesn't pose health risks (same for sea water pollution risk), while self-funded environmental organizations argue otherwise and show inconsistencies and omissions of real-time data in air monitoring stations. They compare the owners' claims with their assertions.

The interesting story is about trust crisis in the system. The public reached a point where they started crowd-funding independent air monitoring system to put pressure on EPA to "do its job" and enforce the standards. EPA already announced a nice mobile app showing monitored air data on the map to provide public sense of security. I hope the data is genuine.

There are more and more examples of crowd-funded projects as alternatives to governmental components expressing decline of public trust.

It seem to happen globally on many levels. Is it possible the crowd-funded organizations will one day replace the government?

Ask HN: How to Work at a Bad Job?
How can I keep going for 3 months (a reasonable amount of time to look for an internal transfer), while I continue the job hunting process? I've been burned and burnt out by a job that I never really loved, for a company I really do love, and made peace with the fact that I have to find something new. The reasons for my dislike are entirely political, and my job is not at risk. What strategies do others use to keep the lights on, so to speak, when faced with a job that you actively dislike?
If you are Google, would it be in your interest to support a supposed competitor, who really is only just aggregating Google search results mashed up with others like Bing, that appear to basically produce the same results as Google; in order to at least be able to make the claim that you are not a monopoly?

Does your answer change when you consider that Google gave the duck.com domain to DDG a few months ago?

If that does not change your opinion, why would a competitor that controls a rather pivotal assets like an extremely valuable domain like duck.com to what is presented as a competitor to Google?

Yeah, the "value" being shown rarely actually investigates causal impact. Else they'd recognize that the literature shows that digital advertising has no measurable (provable) impact.[0]

I recognize that there is more to digital business than adds, such as paternalistic commercial guidance, dark patterns, web traversal, and so on. However, I haven't seen proof that these patterns matter, especially given recent critiques on A/B testing (relative to multi-armed bandit).

Arxiv hosting costs were posted elsewhere and are minimal. Less than the 30$ per published article that DA requires on top. From memory: <10$ per year per published article.

So we have roughly 1660$ unaccounted for for IEEE. PRX costs 4000$.
