I don't understand all this angst. In a well run infrastructure, Kubernetes basically just boils down to a new config file to describe some proxy rewrite rules, and how much RAM your thing needs.

If you want to run VPS-sized pods full of untracked mutable state with their own ghetto logging / monitoring / deployment / configuration management baked in, nothing is stopping you, but by the time we're "maintaining production systems", and we discover that crumby little $5 VPS has been touched by 7 people over 2 years, nobody knows what is on it any more, turns out the default logrotate configuration was shredding audit logs, and nobody has a clue how to reinstall it without literally starting over, things start to look a little different.

- "I wish I had a list of all the jobs that were supposed to be on this VPS"

- "I wish I didn't have to setup random log archiving cronjobs for all these apps"

- "I wish I knew what directories I need to back up"

- "I wish I could split this one job off the VPS without having to rewrite and retest its config"

- "I wish I could run a separate deployment environment on the VPS without having to set up a whole new VPS"

- "I wish I could rotate this API key but I haven't a clue where it is stored or what is referencing it"

- "I wish I could give the intern access to deploy the web site without letting him also take a copy of the HR database"

- "I wish I could deploy this new job version and roll it back if I fuck things up"

- "I wish I could run this ancient proprietary tool that needs 32bit libs from Debian 0.4 without installing them globally and potentially bricking the whole VPS"

- "I wish I didn't have to go install and configure a bunch of monitoring plugins every time I deploy a new app"

You can set all that up by hand of course, after all it does represent years of fruitful low-intellect busywork for idle hands, or you can come up with your own self-assembled collection of third party tools to do it for you, investing the research, installation and configuration time that entails, and accepting the cost of having created an ad-hoc system only you understand, or you could simply pick one big framework that does it all at once and try to make it work.

The nice thing with the one-big-framework approach is that you also get a common language and operational model understood by thousands of people you can hire on the open market. They understand how your configs are laid out, they know how to discover mutable state and query the health of all your existing jobs. And by the time they leave the company, you can understand all that about the work they've done.

This is only addressing Kubernetes as an operational methodology. Containerization as an architectural style is an entirely different topic.
It is a low effort comment, not necessarily a low value one. It summarizes people's response to it well.

Every aspect of German culture can be linked to WW2 without much effort and has been for decades. Here is a humorous look at this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MfFxoyxQAh4 instead of a sarcastic wikipedia link.

I do understand where you are coming from but sometimes you just have to let it go, as most others have done. WW2 ended in Germany over 75 years ago, people don't want to be reminded of it underneath a fun travel blog.
What Is User Life Time Value Model?
Dystopic for some. I studied in Finland and learned Finnish. I could have settled down there after uni, but I didn't. It is a perfect country if you can accept an ordinary working life with your 6 weeks of holiday per year, but it is almost as if people are intentionally prevented from bohemianism by the high cost of living and the insistence on long-term flat rental contracts. It is very rare to meet Finns who spend half of the year working and half of the year traveling. I returned to Eastern Europe and in spite of the lower salaries here, I feel like I can achieve a much better work/life balance than in Finland.

Do you like delicious artisanal beers or aged whiskies from around the world? Tough luck, alcohol in Finland is sold only by a state monopoly that chooses only a narrow range of products to offer and with very high taxes to discourage purchase (because historically Nordic males imbibed large quanties of pure liquor).
Nation's Cops Seem Determined To Demonstrate Why People Are Protesting Them
Interesting to hear a few variants from this used in the recent Dragon launch.

"good readback" to confirm that the other side has correctly readback the information just sent
"go for ..." you have approval to...

but more often speaking relatively normally: they were having some problems with the hardline, at one point Dragon saying:

"that was an improvement but, uh, completely unreadable"
Ten years ago the idea “what if we replaced all cops” would be unthinkable nonsense; literally outside the Overton window.

Now... it’s actually kind of appealing.
> We herald news as a public service, we forget that tax dollars don’t pay for this public service

Here in Aus our tax dollars pay for a very good news service (www.abc.net.au/news) Costs us ~11¢ per day each.

The commercial news services here are mostly crap and I wouldn't pay them cent.
it's kind of hard to take your comment seriously when HN is completely out-dated in terms of web standard.

I will never forget how they rolled the [-] button (after a decade of people asking for it and using browser extensions to have it) next to comment on the _right_ side instead of the _left_ side (like reddit).

EVERYONE complained, yet they were like "we will take your feedback into account for the next upgrade in 10 years"
> No one seems to complain about their 120/240 mains plugs not being "modern" either

Those plugs are standardized. I can use them with a Dell laptop, an Apple desktop, and a VIC-20 from 1982, with zero difficulty. If there were exactly one barrel plug (per country) that worked on everything, you'd see a lot less interest in ditching it.
I see what you did there. Well played.

EDIT: Here we go again, lack of sense of humour including puns on HN as well as the pun-ished 'B' word.

Again, I'm not talking about you. It could be you, but that's not what I'm really talking about.

I gave examples of whole social cultures that revolve around a musical genre. And I'm not saying there isn't some value in whatever music they like. But do you think it is just coincidental that tastes in music, art, sports, etc aligns so closely with cultures where people have a vested interest in fitting in?

I remember as a kid trying SO HARD to care about professional football, because it was cool to like a team, or at least to be able to talk about a game that happened on sunday. I gave up after a while. I have friends now that if I really want to fit in with, I need to like expensive scotch and enjoy talking about it (I'm sure I could get used to it, but my natural reflex is to spit it out), or maybe I should take up golf, and try to really care about what to me is a deadly dull sport.
La Guardia doesn't handle international flights. It does't have a facility for border control.
I've thought that Christo and Jeanne-Claude had an interesting artistic business model: the finished works are public and free to view, but they sold large quantities of sketches and other artifacts to collectors to fund their work.

I don't know if there are other established artists doing that. Maybe it's more common than I realize.
Even being fairly familiar with deepfakes, I would very much prefer to avoid having to defend myself in court against prosecutors claiming to have "video evidence" of me murdering someone...

Such diagnostics raises troubling ethical concerns. I certainly know many on the spectrum that are perfectly fine with who they are, but if prospective parents had the ability to terminate based on some x% probability an unborn child might be 'mildly'/'moderately'/'severely' autistic...
$0.40 per secret seems really high. I guess they aren't doing per-user pricing like other platforms, so maybe it would be cost effective for large teams?
> > > You are baying for blood, not seeking justice. You can't even defend it with the infamously flexible ethics of utilitarianism, because the strategy has been employed numerous times - and it always results in the utter ruination of those that pursued it. Ask Zarqawi. Name one example of this strategy succeeding, I'm genuinely curious - because the only ones I can think of involve colonial subjugation tactics that ultimately resulted in self destruction.

Are you deliberately obtuse? Because if it isn't deliberate then we may have discovered why you think burning down a city is a good idea.
New NYPD press officer co-wrote Intercept Russiagate story, imprisoned source
Japan's futurist image is left over from the 80s. Tokyo architecture doesn't hold a candle to Singapore and many other cities around S.E. Asia. Kuala Lumpur is full of buildings that surpass anything in Tokyo in terms of looking out of a Sci-Fi movie.

Cities like Hong Kong and even Hangzhou from the right locations look way more like "Neo Tokyo" than Tokyo itself has ever looked.
High-level IC roles (in the companies that have them) are still leadership roles. They are just technical leadership roles instead of people management roles. They may not have direct reports, but they are still responsible for getting big projects done, usually by organizing a large number of engineers.
Thanks, I could've explained better, but that is exactly my point.
When your ear is ready to match against one of 26 known phonetics, it is possible to do so even with very high noise. I might only pick up “...orm” but I’ll know it’s “uniform” (U) because it couldn’t be the other 25.

I think it’s often tempting for people to, on considering the holocaust, look for a reason that Germany is special and something like that couldn’t happen elsewhere. It’s reassuring.

It doesn’t really stand up to scrutiny, though; genocides have been committed from everything from borderline failed states to states that appeared a lot more functional than Nazi Germany (which really wasn’t all that ordered).
Since this is Hacker News, I can only assume that the one who posted this is suggesting that we should have incorporated some of this vocabulary into our network protocols --- which would have been utterly cool.
So your definition of unharmed is somewhere between unharmed, and the beating by the Chicago transport cop of a physician on a plane.

We're talking apples and oranges, HarryHirsh, and I don't think you're willing to view this discussion in good faith. Good day.
Basically most of what runs on k8s, including most of the k8s control plane, lives in a container. So for the most part, the only material concern about the host machine and OS is what kernel it is running, because that may limit what kind of jobs you can run in the containers.
I assumed it was because of https://duckduckgo.com/?q=catsup , though as another comment says it ought to be k2sup in that case.
Reminds me of the time I had a bit of fun with the modems I had lying around in my old tech drawers. Set up a small Debian system with a modem connected to the PSTN, got mgetty running to accept incoming calls.

Finding a friend who still had a PSTN line themselves was surprisingly difficult (in Australia, we’re moving away from PSTN in favour of VoIP), but I found one.

I only managed to get a remote shell going, but if I had more time to play around with it I probably could have got PPP up and running. Having someone else on the other end for a multiplayer DOOM session over dialup would have been really cool.
As a person who works for a similarly-endowed company, let me tell you: no amount of money you can spend right now can give you qualified engineers you need to make every function of every business work perfectly. Finding qualified engineers who have the skills you're looking for who aren't happily employed and making above-market rate already is often a real challenge.

And this is for positions that would increase the run rate or help make a business more profitable! But when it comes to businesses that are not profit centers - like maintaining business listings - I would expect those to run pretty lean. Google isn't a charity, after all.
I do feel that Christo is perhaps ranked dead last of artists who this generic criticism applies to. Frank Stella? Sure. But Christo put massive scale objects out in the world where the public could enjoy it for free. I can't imagine anything less "in-group" than that.
Finally, we get a non-journaled semi-cross-platform filesystem. fat32 just wasn't cutting it... /s

When will we get a proper performant journaled cross platform filesystem that doesn't require additional software on Windows, MacOS, and Linux? I can't believe we still don't have anything like that.
I think this could be applied to all spheres of human knowledge.

We have books written in languages we don't understand. There has to be shared context beneath all forms of communication and communication itself can be seen as CRUD operations of the layered cake of shared contexts/stories/narratives/ideas that have dependencies between them.

Study of CRUD operations and interactions between the layers and what the various types are and what common dependencies occur and when would be a very fruitful field of psychology, if not perhaps some AI modelling - I don't know if there already is a psychological model along these lines.

For example when you haven't seen a friend for a long time and you reconnect, if your life experiences haven't updated or deleted large parts of your shared context, you'll fall right back into the groove.

It does make me wonder if there needs to be an update of the shared context country or even world-wide to make people feel a sense of community again. We've done away with religion and the many community bonding experiences that it offered. We've tried the 'get rich or die tryin' context and I don't think it has been fulfilling for the majority of the beta testers :)

Time to try something else, perhaps with a little more thought and rigor put into it?
This is a discussion that comes up again and again. How do you go from the news is partisan to the truth must lie somewhere in the middle.

Truth does not care about political leanings. Moreover this assumption has caused a pretty extreme drift to the right in the US, all driven by the republican party & fox news moving more and more to the extreme right, but moderates still thinking the truth must be in the middle.
Battery drain is a metric often left out of the equation when assessing front-end frameworks. Download size is usually given priority but why? Your poor phone now has to run all that code you so zealously zipped.

You're confusing correlation with causation. Regarding your point about searching - Have you ever lost your keys, searched for a long time without finding them, then found them by happenstance at a later point when not looking? Lack of evidence is not evidence of lack.

My favourite part of this (source: https://kernelnewbies.org/Linux_5.7#New_exFAT_file_system) is that they originally went with an MS-produced exFAT driver, but dumped it because even MS said the Samsung one was better.

My favorite part of this article is the reason for saying "SAY AGAIN" instead of "REPEAT".

The word "REPEAT" should not be used in place of "SAY AGAIN",
especially in the vicinity of naval or other firing ranges,
as "REPEAT" is an artillery proword defined in ACP 125 U.S.
Supp-2(A) with the wholly different meaning of "request for the
same volume of fire to be fired again with or without corrections
or changes" (e.g., at the same coordinates as the previous round).[12]

You'd think something as destructive as artillery fire might be given a slightly longer and less common word...

Not mentioned in the change summaries as far as I can tell, but this contains a (for me critical) fix to the intel graphics drivers (i915): https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/intel/-/issues/1600.
The file format that it downloads (.syx) is a MIDI sysex or system-exclusive message file (https://www.midi.org/specifications-old/item/table-4-univers...). These are basically scripts of MIDI instructions that exist outside the regular note on-off messages, and can be used for a variety of things, in this case programming a patch in the DX7’s synthesis engine.
Even during the LulzSec saga Anonymous mostly did DDOSs and website defacing, with sporadic high-level hacks, but not all has to be hacking. Given the amorphous nature of the movement, even a lowly clerk/technician/etc. could leak evidence if they sympathize.

That being said, following the antics of LulzSec was my favorite part of 2011 by far.
VScode has its own renderer for drawing code tabs and the sidebar components along with custom input handling, bypassing chrome engine, I believe. They're not webviews like extension tabs and are much faster.
It blows my mind that there are so many ways to screw up something this simple.

Very cool. I used to draw spaceships as a child so this brings back memories. Suggestion for OP: add more curves to the mix to increase variety.

So for Germany I do in fact go through JFK. But for Japan I have a hard time with such a long direct so I look specifically for a flight with a domestic connection. (Those flights are also often cheaper when booking last minute.)
QCD is a nonabelian gauge theory, for example. The generalized Maxwell action is called the Yang-Mills action. The corresponding equations are very similar, except the gauge-covariant derivatives do not take a particularly simple form (which they do in the U(1) case because U(1) is abelian).

You appear to have entirely missed the point of the paper. This is an exploration of a mechanism for implementing generics in Go in the future. It's not a proposal for a new programming language.

The "Featherweight Go" referred to in the paper is simply a tiny subset of the Go language itself that's being used as a framework for formalising the mechanism they're proposing could be used.
There are far more people who effortlessly self-modify to believe and feel what is most socially helpful, without conscious consideration. We call them “normal”.
When I read the author's initial blog post a few days ago, this part immediately stood out to me:

> I was told that the acqui-hire process through BizDev would take a very long time. An alternative to speed up the process would be just to hire me with a “bonus” and then work on migrating the code ownership after the fact. I didn’t have any objections, so we scheduled some meetings/interviews in Redmond.

As someone who has worked in the acquisition/acquihire area, this immediately raises so many red flags. The team responsible for shipping the package manager obviously did not have the budget/exec sponsorship to purchase a rival. Not sure if security, legal, HR etc were even involved at all at that point, or had budgeted the time to assist with this.

Yes the acquisition process takes a long time, and that is exactly to avoid situations like this one. The only correct response when a company reaches out to you for something like this is "cool, let me set up a meeting with my lawyer."
Except your argument doesn't match with Godwin's law at all. It isn't "don't mention Nazis, people are tired about hearing about them." It is about making unnecessary and hyperbolic comparison's to Nazis or Hitler. So if you are going to argue why Godwin's law applies here, you should focus on why my reference was irrelevant and hyperbolic.

It’s a shame, really. This is a very significant piece of the puzzle. It may be incremental progress but it’s still important. Nevertheless, your assessment has reminded me of an Alpha Centauri quote I’m rather fond of:

There are two kinds of scientific progress: the methodical experimentation and categorization which gradually extend the boundaries of knowledge, and the revolutionary leap of genius which redefines and transcends those boundaries. Acknowledging our debt to the former, we yearn nonetheless for the latter.

no, if bohemianism and cheap beer are your priorities I don't imagine it would be.

as far as a place to raise a family, be a part of a community, general quality of life, it fits.

if it was always summer there, i'd be there no question.
I can’t really recommend it because of how likely you are to do something stupid but lots and lots of alcohol fueled socializing is how I leveled up my social skills over the course of one summer. It also caused an audible change in the prosody of my speech, going from unusually monotone to more expressive.
As usual, reality is somewhere between these two extremes. I'll posit a halfway: Japanese life is indeed bound by strictly observed rules and regulations divorced from common sense, but Japanese bureaucrats tend to also know how to navigate these thickets to get stuff done.

One thing I've often seen in Japanese offices is the "form to the form", instructing applicants in extreme detail how to fill out the actual form, so it will be accepted on the first try.
