> It could've been easily prevented by actually arresting someone that committed abject murder, but the city and the police chose to instead defend a man who has killed multiple people in the past and got away with it scott-free

I don't know if it could have been prevented by arresting just this murderer, as it's far from an isolated incident.

I do however think it could have been prevented by an edict from the top years ago, issuing a zero-tolerance policy for harassment, abuse and murder by police officers, with focus on clearly racially motivated incidents. I'm fom the UK, so don't claim to understand american politics, but I just don't understand why something like that hasn't happened, especially when Obama was president.
If true, since this could be a spoof, it would represent a much, much better way of doing things. Instead of alluding or conveying the idea that something is wrong, i.e. "get the facts", encourage the user to seek out additional articles. Period.

The carry flag is also the canonical way to signal "something has gone wrong" in low-level code. Example: Intel virtual machine extension instructions (like vmwrite, vmxon) all set the carry flag when they fail. But no, you'd usually use jc or setc to read the flag.

What bugs do you think hinder dev speed?

I am vastly more productive in Godot than in Unity.

Currently I think the only criticisms I have are the 3D renderer is bad (whoop 4.0 lets go!), and there is not a strong community/asset marketplace.

I _love_ the workflow, though.

if you're on microservices, it's no brainer. You'll need an army of DevOps with semi-custom scripts to maintain the same. It's really automating a lot of stuff.
Helm + Kubernetes let our company's ability to launch microservices with no DevOps involved. You just provide the name of the project, push to git and GitLab CI will pick it up and do the stuff by the template. Even junior developers in our team are doing that from day one.
Isn't that a future we dream about? If you have too much load it will autoscale pod, if node is overloaded it will autoscale node pool, if you have a memory leak it will restart the app so you can sleep at night. I can provide a million examples that make our 100+ microservices management so much simpler. No Linux kungfu, 0 bash scrips, no SSH, and interaction with OS, not a single devops role for 15+ developers team.

Our management of cluster is just a simple "add more CPU or memory to this nodepool", sometimes change a nodepool name for deployment for certain service. All done simple cloud management UI.
For those who call microservices fancy stuff. No, we are a startup with fast delivery, deploy cycle. We have tons of subproject , integrations, and our main languages are nodejs, golang and python. Some of these are not good at multi-thread so no way to run it as a monolith. The other one is used only when it's needed for high performance.
So All together Microservices + Kubernetes + Helm + good CI + proper pubsub gives our backend extremely simple fast cycle of development, delivery, and what's important flexibility in terms of language/framework/version.

What is also good is the installation of services. With helm I can install high availability redis setup for free in 5 minutes. The same level of setup will cost you several thousand dollars for devops work and further maintenance and update. With k8s it's simple helm install stable/redis-ha

So yeah, I can totally understand some simple projects don't need k8s. I can understand you can build something is Scala and Java slowly but with high quality as a monolith. You don't need k8s for 3 services. I can understand some old DevOps don't want to learn new things and they complain about a tool that reduces the need of these guys. Otherwise, you really need k8s.
It's drawing worldwide attention to the issue of systemic racism across the police force in the USA though, isn't it?

Completely understand. This is a normal concern for new technology, not every company is an early adopter.

The same way Lyft would not even consider using Stripe in its first two years, considering how critical credit card data is for them.

Not to mention his failures to uphold the principles that he ran on: gitmo, whistleblower protections (vis a vis Manning, Asange and Snowden), massacres of civilians ("drone strikes"), etc.

I think you'll quickly lean in the opposing view after reviewing those viewpoints, because if Twitter was a utility it would have been declared one at some point in the previous 11 years.
In the part where it was declared a de facto public forum for interacting with the POTUS. It is implied that Twitter would face consequences for violating the rights of the population to redress grievances directly with their elected leader in the forum, in this case, it being a Twitter account. The US National Archives also weighed in and said they would sanction Twitter if the account is removed before the end of his Presidency.

Interesting you brought up genetics earlier in your comment but then ignored it when discussing the "lifestyle choices" of fat people.

It is now established that genetic variations can be responsible for a 1.67 fold higher rate of obesity [1] Just having the wrong genes means more of the calories you consume end up as stored fat, with a subsequent reduction in mitochondrial thermogenesis by a factor of 5 in those cells.

Lets stop blaming "lifestyle choices" and fat people's lack of willpower for this public health crisis and find ways to control it through meaningful interventions that address the real issues underlying the phenomenon.

K8s is great - if you are solving infrastructure at a certain scale. That scale being a Bank, Insurance Company or mature digital company. If you're not in that class then it's largely overkill/overcomplex IMO when you can simply use Terraform plus managed Docker host like ECS and attach cloud-native managed services.

Again the cross cloud portability is a non starter, unless you're really at scale.
can you qualify these strong assertions? “plainly obvious for everyone to see” isn’t a convincing instrument. The role and powers bestowed on the President are set in the US Constitution.
Of course it doesn't have the advantage of #2, but I've found ECS to be far easier to grok and implement.

Yeah a lot of the problems and solutions seem really foreign. Nowadays it seems you could get the same security through:

Tickets are signed messages containing (user, service, expiration time).

> "Most emergencies are sufficiently short-term that they don't meaningfully reduce incentives for new producers to enter a market, because there's no time to adapt."

I disagree here. If price-gauging was allowed, then there would definitely be an incentive to "prepare" for the inevitable emergency that would warrant the increased prices. At that point, the "increase" in price represents the effort of stockpiling, taking increased risk of product going spoiled in case emergency doesn't happen, storage costs, research into what is needed for which emergency, prepping for different emergencies, etc. The higher you allow the price to go, the more availability you can guarantee when the emergency does happen.

The problem is that we see price-gauging as a fairness issue rather than an insurance problem. Yes, people would make a profit out of the exercise, but they do that as well from normal business functioning. I don't see price-gauging on a morally different level than "why don't we provide affordable (or free) food to everyone". I'd vote for that policy right now in a heartbeat even as a libertarian. One free-food distribution center for every square kilometer in every city sounds good. What, you want people to die of starvation?

Even the term is loaded: "gauging" as if we're poking a suffering person's eyes out. Are we really that easily manipulated into falling for emotional language?

On a side note, if we were to allow "dynamic-pricing" during emergencies then one could conceivably come up with insurance products/packages that would allow individuals to very affordably manage the unlucky probability of the emergency.
I think although it is missing that layer of polish, the underlying foundation layer is so much better built.
Second this!
Out of all the social networks, isn't Facebook the one that has the most Trump supporters? Twitter is notorious for being full of the woke left. Most people only find out about Trump's tweets because they get reported somewhere. Facebook is nowadays the preserve of older moms and pops.
You're reading too much into it. "Sweeping" means broad or widespread or large. It's not a judgement on whether the changes are sensible, scientifically sound or should be funded by the government.
I agree -- it looks exactly like a Gopher page.
In the few cases that got a GDPR request, I actually talked to humans. Also, a human has to read my mail in the first place.

Note that I'm also doing this because I'm interested in the data, so its much less waste of time.
Yea, this is a tough one. Security is a super tricky component of any application, especially when you are storing data that belongs to other people.

In the case of Form King, all transport is over TLS, with the RDS instances being encrypted at rest. When a form is submitted, the data is encrypted and uses the AES-256-CBC cipher prior to storage. I just didn't want to store other people's data in plain text. Form could include names, and emails, and addresses. It's also signed with a MAC to ensure the data isn't modified.

This is probably some information I should include on the website as well (It's a personal project that I just work on in the evenings and weekends, so I had to prioritize stuff and the marketing website was one of the lowest :) )

Now, keeping in mind that I'm no security expert beyond what's standard for production applications, this is the area of any service that worries me the most and it'll remain a top priority to continue enhancing the security of the app.
Ok, but that argument applies to Twitter which itself is a powerful actor.

Well, we should be impressed with 25MB for a decent game editor since the other players like Unity and Unreal Engine are probably around 25GB. It's also a fraction of Slack or Chrome or even the Rust compiler I believe.
Having extensively used Chef and K8s, the difference is that they try to deal with chaos in unmanaged way (Puppet is the closest to "managed"), but when dealing with wild chaos you lack many ways of enforcing the order. Plus they don't really do multi-server computation of resources.

What k8s brings to the table is a level of standardization. It's the difference between bringing some level of robotics to manual loading and unloading of classic cargo ships, vs. the fully automated containerized ports.

With k8s, you get structure where you can wrap individual program's idiosyncracies into a container that exposes standard interface. This standard interface allows you to then easily drop it into server, with various topologies, resources, networking etc. handled through common interfaces.

I said that for a long time before, but recently I got to understand just how much work k8s can "take away" when I foolishly said "eh, it's only one server, I will run this the classic way. Then I spent 5 days on something that could be handled within an hour on k8s, because k8s virtualized away HTTP reverse proxies, persistent storage, and load balancing in general.

Now I'm thinking of deploying k8s at home, not to learn, but because I know it's easier for me to deploy nextcloud, or an ebook catalog, or whatever, using k8s than by setting up more classical configuration management system and deal with inevitable drift over time.

I've only ever used cfengine and Ansible, but they are both declarative. Hell, Ansible uses yaml files too.

I would be somewhat surprised to find out Puppet and Chef weren't declarative either. Because setting up a system in an imperative fashion is ripe for trouble. You may as well use bash scripts at that point.

I've used Ansible for close to 10 years for hobby projects. And setting up my development environment. Give me a freshly installed Ubuntu laptop, and I can have my development environment 100% setup with a single command.
The sterile-insect technique does work, but it's not going to achieve the kind of eradication people in here are talking about. Wild-eyed ideas about mass pesticide application and CRISPR gene drives are more the sort of thing that actually concern me, or would if I thought anyone talking about them was anywhere near the required levers of power to actually make them happen. As it is, I just wish people had enough sense of history to understand the import, although I suppose in the age of alternative facts that's far more than can reasonably be expected.
is this just an extrapolation or does my body actually constantly produce the same amount of vitamin D if i sit in the sun even if I don't have a deficit?

Because usually phisiological processes are in some kind of equilibrium and regulated, so it's not straightforward to compare it to supplements.
I think you could think of "infrastructure as code" as he described it as a superset of "infrastructure as data". Both have the benefit of being able to be reproducibly checked into a repo. Declarative systems like Kubernetes/"infrastructure as data" just go even further in de-emphasizing the state of the servers and make it harder to get yourself into unreproducible situations.
Only 100k/day? That sounds quite low.
Assuming that like us, you spend the last 10 - 12 years deploying IPv6 and currently running servers on IPv6 only networks, the Kubernetes/Docker network stack is just plain broken. It can be done, but you need to start thinking about stuff like BGP.

Kubernetes should have been IPv6 only, with optional IPv4 ingress controllers.

The opinions of your friends on subjects they don't understand are irrelevant. What is relevant is the opinion of actual experts on the topic of autocracy. There is strong consensus among those experts that the Trump administration is, in fact, implementing a transition to autocracy. Specifically a kleptocratic autocracy following the Russian model.

You are free to ignore the scientific consensus about the rise of autocracy in the US. Just like you are free to ignore the scientific consensus about global heating. But the facts remain the facts.

This article is biased as it only cites those couple of fields or problems where neural nets have not made significant improvements (even that part is shady as I am not familar with that much).
There have been significant improvements in the architecture of NNs in the last decade unlike what this article claims. This article doesn't mention anything about GANs or Autoencoders or VAEs or Flow or recent NLP advancements which are clearly way way better than what we have seen 5 years ago. Seems like the authors are living in 2015.
I hate the meme of a "scientific consensus" especially with this current topic. It really goes against the core of what science is. There is no "consensus" at this time about coronavirus, even if there are certain large groups that agree - that's not consensus. Perpetuating this idea that there is "scientific consensus" means that implicitly there are certain scientists that should be excluded because of their work or perspective in order to create this consensus (exclude those who disagree so that all agree).

Science, in the strict and true sense, denotes knowledge. Because knowledge is boundless, a scientist is an eternal revisionist; his overarching goal is to falsify his existing understanding, either by making new, contradictory observations, or by proposing better theories.
