I wouldn't over-think it and over-describe it.

The "aha" realization that the "container" can be an ephemeral concept and not resident at run time can come later.

FWIW, I think of IO as a container: it contains the risk of side-effects within. All the examples you gave are containers in their own way.
Can you explain what the different use cases are? In particular, what is Airflow good at that Nifi is not?

I have used Nifi a little bit and Airflow not at all. Reading the home pages of the two products, it's hard for me to know when it would be more appropriate to use Airflow than Nifi.

They both schedule jobs and move data according to control flow topologies that you build in a GUI, right?
This is a great advice. Do you know of any publicly accessible design documents that you would consider good (to serve as An example)?
Yeah. I'm rooting for astropad (or duet display, or anyone else) to be the multi-platform solution people will pay for. Akin to how some of us pay for password managers instead of browser-centric solutions.

I'm still waiting to see how ipadOS evolves, but I'd would consider using using such a setup with a mac and a surface go.

Ideally, you would address the underlying issues that caused this attempt to cash in on the .org domain at the same time. Or you would just be making whichever organization you choose a target for the underhanded types that infiltrated ISOC.

Perhaps the key would be to signal that for the next contract, priority would be given to bidders that are owned by multiple organizations. Also require the owners to be non-profit. So a new XYZ co-owned by Mozilla, EFF and ISOC might work.

You'd want at least three non-profit owners and for the new company to have by-laws prohibiting any one company from accumulating more than 50% control.

It's worse than that. Shuffle for Spark on Kubernetes is fundamentally broken and hasn't yet been fixed. The problem is that Docker containers cannot (for security reasons) share the same host-level disks. There is no external shuffle service, and disk-caching is container-local (not using kernel-level disk I/O buffering) which kills performance. Google's proposed soln below is to use NFS to store shuffle files, which is not going to be performant. Stick with YARN for Spark and only switch when shuffle is fixed for k8s. Databricks are in no rush to get shuffle fixed for k8s.

Show HN: Gravle – A bot that helps you choose
Hey HN, I made a search engine / bot that helps you to choose products and other things.

The problem is that, when you want to buy something new, there are often too many options to choose from. Gravle helps narrowing this down with (hopefully :D) smart questions about what exactly you're looking for.

In a supermarket you can often see people staring at the shelf of wines, confused about which one to choose. You might have this experience yourself. Often you end up choosing the one that is not too ugly, not too expensive, not to cheap, and that looks like many other customers bought it. Or the one with the highest discount.

Something similar happens in many other categories: phones, laptops, president candidates, etc. With Gravle, I hope to make these choices easier.

Of course many online stores have search filters. But for many non-tech people these filters are just as hard to use as the wine ‘filters’ might be for you. A few simple questions are often more helpful to find the right choice.

The backend is developed from scratch in Go. The frontend is made with Nuxt.js/Vue.js. There’s room for a lot of improvement, so I would love if you share some feedback. Thanks!

> attend both developer teams' demos, plannings and product teams' meetings

This is critically important. I try to cycle through my team's standups through the week so I know what's going on with them and what challenges they're dealing with. Often times I've found teams will raise issues during standup they won't raise at a big cross-team meeting.

Which "software architecture certifications" did you get and which do you think were the most useful?

To me, an architect is also a good programmer that is able to get work done - learn good coding practices (DRY comes up a lot), be up to date on your stack (latest language features). Practice Clean Code (e.g. some of what Bob Martin writes about, some of it is a bit...special).

Learn about pipelines, version control schemes, and the "best" way to implement it given your constraints. Specifically, how code gets merged, when it gets built, in what environment. I can answer questions about details here. Edit: You will also need to know how to organize your board in Jira, Rally, Azure DevOps, or whatever, especially if you don't have a Scrum master.

Understand how to decouple code into micro-services (and why it's mostly unnecessary to do so). Have a solid understanding of testing principles, and what you want your TDD to look like (if at all) - mocks of everything or small units of functionality.

Understand database performance, modern authentication (JWT, OAuth2, intercepting requests).

This was all specific to Line of Business web apps btw..so may not relate to you.

When I play "architect", I also need to draw diagrams and clearly split up work, so you need to learn to do that. I found it super helpful to have a high-level vision (as pretentious as that word is) for the software. Usually, no one has that.

I have also found that a lot of architects irl are just career bsers, so I might be going about it the wrong way, and I don't have the title.

80% of the architects I know just say random stuff that makes no sense like "Everything will go through an API", "Use attributes everywhere", "everything will be a microservice" and tell you to implement their high level goals, but could never do it themselves. I have zero respect for them.

Since I am just ranting - some of the best advice I have heard (from the Python docs, though I don't use Python). Have one, and ideally only one, way of doing certain things. Clarity is king.

To me, being an architect (not by title, but while leading fairly large teams) always meant being an example (at least in terms of code quality) and always being able to pick up a story from another dev if I dictated something - e.g. not asking devs to do what I am not willing to. This, combined with the vision of the whole product, often means refactoring and helping resolve merge conflicts for others - whether it's in code, Entity Framework migrations, etc.

I hope they have used proper lightning when taking the photographs, because the type of lightning in the exhibition hall (where the painting is still standing) is rather poor, due to the so-called daylight LED lamps, that however have a poorly defined spectrum not matching true day light conditions. This causes the red colors to look rather pale and shows some colors as different, probably due to different combinations of pigments that look the same under daylight, but now appear different.
Car choice/ÉCU programming may come into play here.

I thought cars were “intelligent” enough to not charge while idle or warming up because that’s when emissions and inefficiency are highest.
If you want smaller, quicker payoffs (but in no way cheaper!), consider the anthologies of short stories by Ted Chiang. Most of them are 15-45 minutes to read, with a couple longer (1-2 hours).

They also had that nasty episode with piracy a few years back and as far as I understand they are still clinging to a YouTube model where it's up to people to report that content is pirated -- but you need a Udemy account to do that, something not all content creators feel like creating especially. Here is Rob Conery's blog post about this episode:

I don't know if Udemy fixed this or just made it easier for creators (and others) to flag pirated content but I haven't heard about this problem for a while.

Sorry for being unclear: I’m intending to use the iPad for drawing with Procreate. At least as far as all the commercial illustrators that I personally know (which is quite a few) this is now their standard production setup.

For video I’m gonna try the iOS application LumaFusion - this is new to me, so I have no idea how it compares to apps like Final Cut Pro or Premiere, that I’ve used in the past - but I’ve seen some encouraging YouTube videos showing editors using it, at what seems to me blinding speed.

The Mac mini would only be used for Xcode and other stuff that isn’t available on iOS (or iPadOS).

That is true.

Additionally, this is a clear signalling that Apple targets consumers and not companies. German Apple haters scoff that this informal addressing in Apple's commercials is a clear admission that Apple's products are not suitable for doing serious work.

Such kind of informal addressing in advertizing is a very double-edged sword: Some companies (besides Apple also Ikea) use this kind of advertizing to brand themselves as hip and informal while many Germans consider this as "cheap ingratiation" [billige Anbiederung].

I am sure that this kind of advertizing made it much harder for Apple's sales department to sell to big companies.
There has to be at least 6-7 good blog posts to come out of that, too.
... The idea is that, simultaneously, categories are an extremely powerful intellectual tool, and also imprison your thoughts.

In general life, as an odd monkey wandering around a built environment, that's Zen. The categories being challenged include such fundamental ones as "Self/Other"

In coding, identifying categories and choosing to perceive them or ignore them is fundamental to debugging. "The variable claims it's $foo; but I see back there it was set to $bar...." Strip away a layer of assumptions, and look underneath at what is _really_ there.

Iterated, this is what leads you to understanding performance all the way down to the silicon.

> A k8s-focused cloud provider gets an enormous number of already existing k8s services without the need to compete directly with all the AWS services.

Not really. AWS is largely independent service products with a few shared core services. K8s is just the core services.

Each AWS service is effectively its own product. Regardless of what tech you have in the background, you would have to make a complete product to compete with AWS's version. You would still have to build an entire customer interface and documentation and do product support.

Or you could build one giant monolith product that isn't decomposeable into services, and at that point you're no longer an AWS competitor, you're just another weird PaaS that enterprise won't touch. Enterprise is a whale, and you need whales.

Looking at k8s like it's a business solution is like looking at a wheel+tire and thinking it's a car.

House of Leaves is a great novel. Will feel like a completely fresh take on narrative form.

Infinite Jest is also great, if you haven't read it. It gets a lot of bad press mostly due to being fetishized by a particular type of insufferable person. The book has its flaws, but is a great piece of writing and (depending how old you are, where you are in life, etc) may offer a different lens. Also, the writing is excellent.
Regulate how exactly? While better than the indistinguishable from bots "destroy/break up Facebook" ad nausuem repetition I have seen plenty of calls for regulation with zero thought as to what regulations they would add. The few examples I have seen proposed are either blatantly unconstitutional, ineffectual, and/or obviously doomed to backfire.

I’m mixed on this thought that they are stifling innovation. On one hand, yes, they have a habit of commoditizing their complements by acquisition or fast following. On the other hand, they most often have built the platforms that have made such complements possible in the first place.

It seems more like an innovation trade off relative to other innovators, but a net gain relative to other areas of society that are either innovation neutral (most of non-tech non-science society) or innovation destructive (politicians except when they are listening to advice from the EFF).

I have a conflicting relationship with "How to Win Friends and Influence People," and maybe some of you may relate to this.

Disclaimer: I only read a small, initial part of the book, and I'll explain the reasons behind this.

For one, I liked the initial parts of it; for example, remembering first names is a nice and very attentive thing to do, and in general people appreciate it when I can remember their first name after meeting them a second and third time.

On the other side, I found it to be of a very manipulative nature (shouldn't be a surprise; the title contains an "influence people" part), which rubbed me the wrong way; the book presents some techniques that help you get "what you want," but are quite superficial and hollow, i.e., you only pretend to be interested. That's why I decided to stop reading the book.

The conflicting part in all this is the fact that I see this book recommended all the time (and it's one of the best-selling books of all-time), but I just cannot ignore its manipulative nature.

It might be that I'm simply not part of its target audience or that I'm misinterpreting the messages in the book.

Nonetheless, I'd be interested to read your (and other fellow HNers) comments on this book.
Hey, I like comments and commentary as much as the next person. But when I waste 10 minutes of my morning perusing threads, I really hope they are about something real :)

To be fair, you're probably right. The commentary is the most interesting part, even if the content is just a rumor, or hypothetical or whatever. There is still some value to be had from the threads. I saw a lot of experiences or personal info shared here about Schwarz Group, so some of that was interesting.
