It's only because Deere is the biggest most well known face of the problem, and because they've been most aggressive baout locking things down.

It's not just their tactic, but stopping them sets the precedent.

Also most news outlets don't have bandwidth for multiple articles about all the other companies doing the same thing, so they are the placeholder for the topic.
Even if one of the other manufacturers in the space doesn't permit an easy self-repair path at the moment, it would seem to be a golden opportunity to expand their market by doing so.

Given the way capitalism works in the US now, though, if someone like Kubota broke out of the pack by doing something like this, something tells me that Deere would find the money to buy them out, and spike the idea.

IMO, the government should be putting a stop to this sort of thing. If you're on this site, then you've seen this happen scores of times in the tech space. But, again, a lot of people on this site are specifically hoping for a buyout like this to make their first couple hundred million, so this is a weird place to complain about a tech monopoly in tractors.
Not much. Much less than $10K. A family member gave us the pictures for free (professional photographer) and a friend of hers did the catering as a gift.

But, my now wife and I met at work. The company shut down and we had to scramble to find jobs. She found a job with benefits that paid less and I got a contract that paid more from a firmer customer of the company we worked for.

She suggested we get married four days after I proposed so we could save money on my health insurance I was paying out of pocket.

It's not just the seasoning but the food itself. Depending on what you're cooking and for how long bare cast iron can definitely impart a bit of a flavor. Probably the biggest thing for me is that an enameled dutch oven is smooth on the bottom where my bare one is not. On a ceramic topped smooth electric range this matters since you don't really want to scratch the ceramic.

The other thing, especially with Le Creuset, is that you're paying for appearance. Sure, all of the enameled stuff is pretty, but Le Creuset has a ton of different colors (including some limited edition ones) designed to appeal to that group.

I split the difference and went with one of Staub's house brand ones. It's more expensive than a bare cast iron one, but at $150 for a 7 quart dutch oven was significantly cheaper than any first run Le Creuset or Staub branded dutch ovens.
Wasn't it backwards? It's a vim plugin, so that vim knows it's running inside tmux. Honestly, I'm not sure which is worse, but I do agree that either integration would be misfeature.

Taxi drivers are almost certainly mostly employees. "Contactor" is a kinda arbitrary employee status which has some theoretical usages - but most of the time it's just abused to deny employment benefits from employees.

I'm not saying robbing trucks is easy. I'm saying if I were to choose between robbing a manned truck vs an unmanned truck, I would definitely rob the unmanned truck.
Trucks are usually stolen and not unloaded in the middle of the highway. The theft is then alerted to law enforcement including weigh stations.

That's not really the case in a lot of places - drivers 'rent' medallions from Taxi companies, as the medallions cost many times the annual income of a driver. Although, their value is droppnig due to ridesharing apps.

This is almost a week old, I haven't read about it anywhere else. I have read and heard plenty of interviews with scientists involved in this in the past few days and noone has mentioned anything in that direction.

Anyone has any link to secondary sources where other scientists try to put this in perspective?

Please no. They already compromise a lot on the design of UWP to support JavaScript. Also, JSX was supported for decades on Windows and I don’t think it got any adoption.

I think what OP means is N95 masks must be properly fitted to the individual. When my wife started working at a hospital she had to undergo such a fitting. So unless you get the proper size, you could still be exposed. I think that’s what he meant.

> Have you used NFS for persistent storage in prod much?

I think NFS is heavily underrated. It's a good match for things like hosting VM images on a cluster and for Kubernetes.

In the past I really wanted to use things iSCSI for hosting VM images and such things, but I've found that NFS is actually a lot faster for a lot of things. There are complications to NFS, of course, but they haven't caused me problems.

I would be happy to use it in production, and have recommended it, but it's not unconditional. It depends on a number of different factors.

The only problem with NFS is how do you manage the actual NFS infrastructure? How much experience does your org have with NFS? Do you already have a existing file storage solution in production you can expand and use that with Kubernetes?

Like if your organization already has a lot of servers running ZFS, then that is a nice thing to leverage for NFS persistent storage. Since you already have expertise in-house it would be a mistake not to take advantage of it. I wouldn't recommend this approach for people not already doing it, though.

If you can afford some sort of enterprise-grade storage appliance that takes care of dedupe, checksums, failovers, and all that happy stuff, then that's great. Use that and it'll solve your problems. Especially if there is some sort of NFS provisoner that Kubernetes supports.

The only place were I would say it's a 'Hard No' is if you have some sort of high scalability requirements. Like if you wanted to start some web hosting company or needed to have hundreds of nodes in a cluster. In that case then distributed file systems is what you need... Self-hosted storage aka "Hyper Converged Infrastructure". The cost and overhead of managing these things is then relative small to the size of the cluster and what you are trying to do.

It's scary to me to have a cluster self-host storage because storage can use a huge amount of ram and cpu at the worst times. You can go from a happy low-resource cluster, then a node fails or other component takes a shit, and then while everything is recovering and checksum'ng (and lord knows what) the resource usage goes through the roof right during a critical time. The 'perfect storm' scenarios.

Zachtronics games come to mind. Also: Factorio, SpaceChem, etc are all along the same lines.
I don't intend to say that leetcode/competitive programming is easy, far from it. It is too focused on coding vs. the broader skillset that successful web devs have: working in teams, business objectives, scaling issues, etc. I think even the baseline expectations (lets say remembering how to implement a specific type of sort) are often at odds with how anyone does things in the real world - a few devs are implementing these things by hand for certain reasons but not MOST devs, not even at most FAANG jobs. So why is everyone using that knowledge as a filter?

The problem with leetcoding in interviews is that it is easily measurable but not an important metric. Focusing on someone's aptitude at skills they never use at their job means good developers get tossed aside or are forced to waste energy jumping through hoops needlessly.

Paranoia is more like it. N95 masks make it harder to breathe, which can lead to mild chest pain.
Two things I don't get in the current focus on self driving:

1. Urban navigation. Obviously the end game, but just exit to exit interstate navigation would be a much better near term goal and greatly benefit truck drivers along with anyone doing a road trip.

2. Unmanned. I would think it would be a long time before you would have unmanned trucks going down the highway. Seems much more obvious to have a driver / custodian in the truck for the foreseeable future until everyone is very comfortable with the reliability of the tech and its ability to cope with situations like you describe. Meanwhile for truck drivers to get around mandatory rest periods due to self driving assistance would be a huge win for the industry even if they are still manning the truck.

The last place I worked, with a couple of petabytes of monthly Stackdriver logs and a full embrace of almost every GKE/GCP tool, also switched to Prometheus + Grafana due to a lack of functionality within Stackdriver. I think you're making a good choice.
If, however, one is beset by insects and doesn't have many child visitors, the safety can be disabled by moving the switch to the unsafe position and putting a screw into the plastic next to it so it can't re-engage.
If it is more lucrative than growing food, I don't think it matters much if it's legal or not - it'll happen anyway, except that when it's all black market, there's associated violent crime, and the government can't tax any of the profits.

Self-infection is very plausible. Once someone has it in their body, some minor action can transfer it from one organ to another. No one can stay vigilant of their own body 24-7.
where are you getting that preposterous number from?
Are you me? Wish that I had known the insertion order trick, though it isn't straightforward to implement with the stack I was using at a previous gig. (Tabula + Naive parsing + Pandas Data Munging). I can expand on a few issues challenges I've run into when parsing PDFs:

# Parser drift and maintenance hell

Let's say that you receive 100 invoices a month from a company over the course of 3 months. You look over a handful of examples, pick features that appear to be invariant, and determine your parsing approach. You build your parser. You're associating charges from tables with the sections their declared in, and possibly making some kind of classification to make sure everything is adding up right. It works for the example or two pdfs you were building against. It goes live.

You get the a call or bug report: it's not working. You try the new pdf they send you. It looks similar, but won't parse because it is--in fact--subtly different. It has a slightly different formatting of the phone-number on the cover page, but identical everywhere else. You change things to account for that. You retest your examples, they break. Ok, two different formats same month, same supplier. You fix it. Chekhov's Gun has been planted.

A month passes, it breaks. You inspect the offending pdf. Someone racked up enough charges they no longer fit on a page. You alter the parser to check the next page. Sometimes their name appears again, sometimes not, sometimes their next page is 300 pages away. It works again.

A few more months later, a sense of deja-vu starts to set it. Didn't I fix this already? You start tracking three pdfs across 3 months:

pdf 1 : a -> b -> c (Starts with format a, change to be same as pdf 2, then changes again)

pdf 2 : b -> b -> c (Starts with one format, stays the same, changes the same way as pdf 1)

pdf 3 : b -> a -> b (Starts same as pdf 2, changes to same as pdf 1 first month, same as pdf 3)

What's the common factor between these version changes? The return address is determining the version.

PDFs are slightly different from office to office, with templates drifting slightly each month in diverging directions. You have to start reevaluating parsing choices and splitting up parsers. It's difficult to account for incurring linear maintenance cost for each new supplier and amortize that over a sizeable period of time. My arch nemesis is an intern who got put to work fixing the invoices at one office of one foreign supplier.

# PDFs that aren't standards compliant

In this case, most pdf processing libraries will bail out. Pdf viewers on the other hand will silently ignore some corrupted or malformed data. I remember seeing one that would be consistently off by a single bit. Something like `\setfont !2` needed to have '!' swapped out for another syntactically valid character that would leave byte offsets for the pdf unchanged.

TLDR: If you can push back, push back. Take your data in any format other than PDF if there is any way that is possible.

Does this reasoning mean that all waiters are independent contractors? They collect cash directly from the customer and reserve a portion of that before passing it on to their employer (the tip) - taxi drivers (who are members of a firm) due end up paying the firm dues for the service of having a pooled call center and possibly maintenance services.

I think trying to determine if someone is an employee based on if they receive cash from customers is a pretty arbitrary line that seems to exclude some pretty valid definitions of independent contractors like temporary workers and sales consultants.

I think it's reasonable for large software projects to have Code of Conduct. When I'm working on something small with few collaborators, it's too much process.

"No Code of Conduct", to me, looks like what All Lives Matter is to Black Lives Matter, that is, a deflection from the actual problem.

I somewhat agree with the general 'Don't be a jerk' principle. It has its place. But it doesn't scale for large projects.

This problem is, it's too discretionary. It isn't an actual policy you can point to if someone to decides to become zealously sexist or homophobic in a software project -- things that I haven't encountered much, but if you're maintaining a project with 10,000+ stars and hundreds of contributors, maintainers sometimes have to wear a moderator hat.

This! It really boggles the mind that officials would discourage wearing masks (even surgical masks). You see, the best way to stop COVID-19 is to thwart its infectious potential. And this is done by two things: everybody wears masks (since nobody knows they are contagious until it's too late) and everybody washes hands constantly. But nooo, no need to panic, this is not Asia, this is The West... Freedom!... x_x
I think today embrace, extend and extinguish applies more to cloud providers like AWS. They take a lot of open source, wrap it into their own code and then lock people in. MS is one of the perpetrators but Amazon and Google are no better.

It is a win-win situation, the majority of those junior devs are from North Africa and they still make way more than they would have back home.
AKS still has a free control plane. GCP won my business for a bit, but quickly lost it based on some features. I still love StackDriver and BigQuery, but don’t love doing business with GCP- the sales/support experience was pretty lacking, networking for serverless was immature for multi-region, and what they are doing with Anthos feels like Oracle (it is).
It's good to have multiple options if you want to host databases in the cluster.

For example you could use NFS for 90% of the storage needs for logging and sharing files between pods. Then use local storage, FCOE, or iSCSI-backed PVs for databases.

If you are doing bare hardware and your requirements for latency are not too stringent then not hosting databases in the cluster is also a good approach. Just used dedicated systems.

If you can get state out of the cluster then that makes things easier.

All of this depends on a huge number of other factors, of course.
I had a very, very illuminating discussion with the guy in charge of repairs when my kitchen sprung a leak.

Kitchen layout is constrained a lot by physics, and again by ergonomics, and the customer's theories on how the kitchen should be don't always allow for these. He confessed that the reason they bombard you with a million tile and color and flooring and countertop options is to induce decision fatigue.

So that when they hit you with the news that the sink can go in exactly two places and which one do you want, you just answer instead of fighting them on the stuff they know, care about, and cannot change no matter how long you monologue about it.

I don't know if I was more shocked that they had this figured out, or that software developers don't.
>If the main value of GKE over DIY is $73, you should totally DIY.

It's not the fee itself, it's the worry that GKE will do what Google Maps did and massively increase fees with very little notice, causing people to scramble to migrate.

Google has a really bad reputation right now when it comes to cancelling projects that people have built their businesses upon, or jacking up fees quickly. The $73 is irrelevant on its own - the issue is (a lack of) customer trust.
