Although I understand the fear that many have of being left behind the technology curve by not having the time - or the chance - to run Kubernetes in their day to day work, we really must appreciate that Kubernetes really is the future of infrastructure. For those that are looking at Kubernetes with suspicion, it is a natural instinct to think of K8s as a threat to all the knowledge we have built in the past few years, but it doesn't have to be that way. So many things that we would have built ourselves (deployments, upgrades, monitoring, etc) can now be streamlined with K8s, and existing knowledge around those topics will just make our transition to Kubernetes faster (besides still being able to use most of our expertise within K8s anyways).

Managed solutions make K8s easy to use, while we can still benefit from being able to run out workloads left and right on any cloud vendor. In one word: portability. Which in the day and age of cloud vendor lock-in it is to be protected at all cost.

I know that some organizations allow to allocate time to explore new technologies and learn new practices. If your organization has no policy around this, it is worth try asking. Ultimately it will benefit the organization and the business as a whole, as they will be able to build a solid foundation to more rapidly transition and execute on their digital products. Kubernetes is good for business.
Thank you!! It definitely is the future.
I've been bitten by elasticsearch twice in my career, and I've seen others bitten by it as well. Once you put it in production, you can't just run it from docker on your workstation. You have to set up a cluster with enough capacity for whatever load you're going to throw at it, gracefully handle failures, updates, scaling up as load increases, etc.

There are so many switches and dials to tune, and unless you really learn it in depth, you won't know which ones you need. It's difficult to even determine what hardware requirements you have. And it's a hard sell to tell your business guys "I think elasticsearch will work better if we give it more... CPU? Memory? Disk speed? I'm not really sure." and can't provide any concrete metrics to back that up.

Another place where footguns abound is upgrading from one version to another, especially if you've got plugins installed. There are tricks that you have to learn the hard way.

At this point, I think long and hard before reaching for a solution like elasticsearch. If I've got a DBA whose entire job it is to master the tech and wield it expertly, that's one thing. But if I'm part of an early stage startup, I just can't justify the lost time and potential for catastrophe.

You can migrate docker deployments to K8s just by adding the parts you were missing, so when in doubt, it always makes sense to start with docker, docker-compose, and only consider K8s as an alternative to docker swarm.
Many acquisitions are merely to hire the team. Recruiting is hard and buying a large functional team is some times attractive. But yes, this is bad advice as it likely won’t materialize. In fact the best posture in an acquisition is to not need one rather than hope that is your way out. Buyers will capitalize on desperation.

> if you consider that “it’s slow” is what you have to debug.

This is exactly it. This is a problem you encounter with every database engine, but in most of them you can quickly find the bottleneck and fix it. With elasticsearch... it's a frustrating and expensive game of trial and error.

I’ve been getting up to speed over the last few months.

Don’t do what I did: googling and going through random top hits. Most of these are 1-off blog articles that revolve around “install Helm and then do these 6 things” or “just kubectl apply random.link.com/some-script”.

Doing that just leads to tons of confusion and anger.

My recommendation: Suck it up and read through the official kubernetes docs. Their docs aren’t written in a way to easily explain core concepts unfortunately. However, slogging through it will give you some initial exposure to concepts and will let you know where to go back to later when your making mental connections.

Next, look for k8s tutorials from Digital Ocean and Linode. In my opinion, they’re the best written guides for demonstrating how to get from A to B.

You’ll start running through those guides and be referencing back to the official docs. Gradually bridges will form on your head and you’ll get an intermediate, functional level of competence.

CSS frameworks—I hear—are mainly aimed at individuals or small teams with a proof of concept, demos or other quick short lived projects that don’t need custom designs, or for small teams that don’t have a skilled designer and just need the thing to look well enough.

That said I have had to defend non-framework CSS to other front end developers in the wild, who insist that material design, bootstrap or whatever is worth writing all this CSS your self.

Haha oh god, in one fell swoop you’re acting like writing Android apps is just knowing how to write Java and writing Java is just like writing any Algol-like.

You literally reduced language design to changing colors on a bicycle.

Are you joking?

You have no idea what Android is if you think it’s development process vs Java (which Java? Embedded Java, desktop with JavaFX? Server side?) is like FreeBSD vs NetBSD.

Maybe more like FreeBSD vs Windows and you’re trying to write a UI application, but technically you can use C on both platforms so it’s the same right?

Thanks for the chuckle in these dreary times...

By the way do you actually think syntactic differences are all that separate languages so once you know the general syntax you pretty much know the language, or are you pretending to not know how programming in multiple languages actually works to prove a point?

> If everyone having a fever in a flu season would go to the hospital and would demand medical attention we would be running out of hospital beds in normal scenarios as well.

You don't get admitted to hospital because you ask. You get admitted to hospital because a doctor admits you. Currently even covid-19 patients don't get admitted to hospital by asking. They need to be pretty severely ill to get admitted to hospital. Health care professionals are triaging as much as possible, and sending people who are suspected (or even confirmed) to have covid-19 back home unless the patient really needs to be admitted.

Despite all this triage hospitals are over run and many countries are experimenting with field hospitals built in large sporting gym halls or convention centres.

One thing that doctors are telling us is that covid-19 is not like flu for their patients.
https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18123862 is great. Really, really great. No idea why it's not more widely recognized or used.
I really like it but I wish Microsoft would support FOSS developers better and provide more support and incentive for them to port more developer tools. There are almost no native aarch64 programming languages for Windows 10. If you keep yourself inside WSL then you're good to go because Linux under aarch64 is quite complete. On the windows side of things you'll probably running a lot of 32bits x86 apps.

Which is one of the reasons I like PWAs, they are ISA independent and are working pretty well here. Unfortunately Firefox doesn't support an add to homescreen feature on the desktop, so I used Edge to do it for the apps I want to have a nice icon for (such as spotify).

If you're going to use it much like a chromebook then it might be a tad too expensive to be justifiable. I don't regret buying mine at all, I really like it, but I'm sure they'll release cheaper ARM64 Surfaces soon, I'm betting on a Surface Go with ARM64 at some point.
Interesting. I can tell Safari to not autoplay videos on YouTube in its preferences, but that doesn't seem to do anything. Seems more like a bug on Safari's part and/or workaround on Google's part than anything deliberate.
Combating Covid-19: Robotics in Managing Public Health and Infectious Diseases
Individual transistors are made of doped silicon, but I think that integrated circuits still contain plenty of metal - the gates are connected by 'wires', after all.
I don't really know what you mean, but I'm assuming it's something along the lines of a recent tweet I saw by Cuomo:
"My mother is not expendable. Your mother is not expendable.

We will not put a dollar figure on human life.

We can have a public health strategy that is consistent with an economic one.

No one should be talking about social darwinism for the sake of the stock market."

The statistical value of human life is a figure somewhere between $6 - $10M used to weigh social and economic policy. Using it to write off a percentage of the population dying as the "cost of doing business" is standard practice in social and economic policymaking.

Non-existent testing infrastructure and late/poorly enforced lockdowns have me convinced the approach to covid-19 being taken by the states completely ignores our reality. We don't have China's population control, South Korea's testing infrastructure, or Italy's population density.

Its everyone's responsibility to have an emergency fund. Why is the answer that the landlord should rely on his/her fund instead of the tennant relying on their fund to pay rent?

This article isn't trying to downplay the fatality rate and isn't trying to justify letting people die for the sake of the economy/business.

This article is pointing out that the fatality rate may be rather low and that nationwide quarantining may not be that useful in saving lives, instead we may need to focus on supporting hospitals and the elderly in other ways than mass quarantining.

They make some good points:

>First, the test used to identify cases doesn’t catch people who were infected and recovered. Second, testing rates were woefully low for a long time and typically reserved for the severely ill. Together, these facts imply that the confirmed cases are likely orders of magnitude less than the true number of infections. Epidemiological modelers haven’t adequately adapted their estimates to account for these factors.

There is a lot of work being done here and there are already antibody tests being used in research so I'm expecting to see some better modeling soon.

They also make some less good points:

>An epidemic seed on Jan. 1 implies that by March 9 about six million people in the U.S. would have been infected. As of March 23, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, there were 499 Covid-19 deaths in the U.S. If our surmise of six million cases is accurate, that’s a mortality rate of 0.01%, assuming a two week lag between infection and death.

I get the feeling that everyone who came from Wuhan to the US was incredibly aware of the state of their health and were ready to quarantine at the slightest snivel. At least the ones I knew were. It could very well be that the Jan. 15 case was the first or very close to the first to show symptoms. Also, the doubling rate of every 3 days is less accurate for the first several days of the disease which probably messes up this estimate even more. What I guess I'm getting at is that this is a messy back of the envelope calculation that is less useful than it is foolish.
Truly fascinating work. I spent quite a lot of time trying to hack into Juno, but I managed to do it eventually, turns out I forgot to read something in the disks. You made my day with this, thank you!
I seriously doubt that. It's a lot more difficult to do horrible things with PWAs than it is with native apps. Apple has a history of doing everything they can to keep people inside their walled garden and this is just another instance of that.
Video-based AI for beat-to-beat assessment of cardiac function
Lots of people don't have perfectly good voices, and if you can copy the best voices, why settle for lesser ones? There are lots of voices people like more than yours, likely.

To give an example, 15-kun recently built on the Pony Preservation Project to use neural nets to voice-clone among others, My Little Pony voices, offering it as a service: https://fifteen.ai/ People have used it for all sorts of things: https://www.equestriadaily.com/2020/03/pony-voice-event-what... Suppose you want to do, say, an F1 commentary on Austrian GP 2019 (#4) - why do it with your voice if you can do it with Fluttershy's voice?

This will be the next evolution of streamers, especially Virtual Youtubers and their ilk.
It is no longer surprising. What I learned recently that it is no longer about a difference of opinion. There is no opinion, it is just herd behavior. Reality does not matter, facts are subject to beliefs.

Unfortunately, individually, we are too small and insignificant to change it. I wonder if there isn't already too late for organized resistance against fact bending (I purposefully don't want to use term "fake news").

There cannot be productive discussion if it is not possible to establish some basic facts and advance our common understanding of problem at hand. Normalizing basic mechanics of how information is being disseminated and processed by public is essential to having healthy nation.
Except, that has been pointed out in the parent comments, it's not the application, it's a deliberate bug targeted towards a different browser(hence changing the user agent fixes it).

1GB/sec?

Why does it (still) take over an hour to copy 100GB of photos and videos off my phone?

Every time it seems like a nightmare because I don’t want to use some weird sync, or convert the files as they copy, or store the photos inside an Photos.app container....

I just want the damn files copied onto my NAS where I know they’re safe and automatically mirrored on Backblaze.

Been doing it for 10 years now and still a painful and slow manual process. Most recently when I tried, I had to give up trying to do it on a Mac and move to a PC where I could see the individual files and copy them out of each folder and then delete them as a separate step. I can’t be the only one tearing hair out over this...
I'm guessing you weren't around during the DotCom boom.

Outside of the peak season, it blows my mind that I can go to a place in nature here and be the only people there.

Will be interesting to see how / if any of this changes in the coming weeks.

I think you can thank this sort of hack for the widespread availability of cheap cloned "ST-Link" debuggers. They use STM32F103 or F102 chips inside, with firmware that was probably lifted from the debuggers on ST's evaluation boards.

As recently as a few years ago, it was unusual to see standalone debugging hardware in the $2-20 range. Sometimes I wonder if ST bristled at the...reuse...of their IP, but it probably did more to promote STM32s as a learning platform than anything that ST did in that time period.
I think that fundamentally what I'm trying to criticize, is the original proposal shifted all the burden from one class of people to another class. And then assumed that the problem just goes away, without having to do anything expensive like the government providing emergency funding. But its not that simple - its not like debt holders can neccesarily just take the hit. They have things they need money for. They have people they employ who need to get paid. Sure, there is a certain amount of a hit that can be taken - but ultimately money has to come from somewhere or your just shifting which class of people are totally screwed by this, which doesnt solve anything.

"Didn't save up? You lose your business. Either it goes under or you sell it at fire-sale prices to somebody who has the assets to keep it afloat until things stabilize (possibly the government)."

In this scenario a wealthy person who owns a business can simply keep their business afloat with their personal money, whereas someone with a more modest financial situation would go bankrupt and be forced to sell at pennies on the dollar to...someone who happens to be sitting on a pile of cash. That clearly leads to a consolidation of capital in the hands of the wealthiest people, which most people would consider to be a bad thing. Plus, more rural communities in general are a lot more dependent on middle class small business owners, many of whom are likely already struggling even before a crisis do to a stagnating local economy.
