When I lived in Africa -especially Nigeria- there were these swarms of mosquitoes that could drain half a pint of blood in a minute or two.

Kubernetes is getting popular because it is a no-brainer api to existing things like firewall, virtual ip, process placement, etc.

It's basically running a big computer without even trying.

Primitive Technology: build in wild from scratch without modern tools/materials
Fair enough, but they have the keys for that layer, I don’t see how that’s an improvement over TLS.
This is like the Primitive Technology channel on Youtube. From the about page:

'Primitive technology is a hobby where you build things in the wild completely from scratch using no modern tools or materials. These are the strict rules: If you want a fire, use a fire stick - An axe, pick up a stone and shape it - A hut, build one from trees, mud, rocks etc. The challenge is seeing how far you can go without utilizing modern technology. I do not live in the wild, but enjoy building shelter, tools, and more, only utilizing natural materials. To find specific videos, visit my playlist tab for building videos focused on pyrotechnology, shelter, weapons, food & agriculture, tools & machines, and weaving & fiber.'

> I am not downplaying anything...

You literally just characterized the largest mass arson in at least several decades as "spray painting a building or stealing a TV".

> ...your points don't dispute my major argument of people are more important property.

I guess the ten or more people who have already died in the riots don't matter though; nor the numerous women who have been raped under the cover of chaos, nor the victims of the kidnappings.

Effectively nobody is happy about the murder of George Floyd, but why cover for the killing of several more people and the destruction of countless lives? Is it over some bizarre sense of justice? What justice are you enabling, making cover for looters who were happy to bust the sports bar owner's safe right in front of him, and take what they please?

This is incoherent. If the riots were out of a regard for human life, they would not callously destroy so many such lives.
If the question was, Why is kube getting so popular with developers, it might get a different response. I wonder how many software developers come to kubernetes through the templated/helm chart/canned approach made by there DevOps team, not that this isn't a fine approach, but I find it a different conversation to say, Serverless, where anyone can just jump in.

After spending 18 months working on bringing kubernetes(EKS) to production, with dozens of services on it, the time was right to hand over migrating old services to the software engineers who maintain them. Due to product demands, but also some lack of advocacy, this didn't happen, with the DevOps folks ultimately doing the migration and retaining all the kubernetes knowledge.

An unpopular opinion might be that Kubernetes is popular because it gives DevOps teams new tech to play with, with long lead times for delivery given its complexity. Kubernetes usually is a gateway to tracing, service meshes and CRDs, which while you don't need at all to run Kubernetes, they will probably end up in your cluster.

> I an astute business person, realize that a hurricane is about to hit. So I go to all the hardware stores and buy all the plywood, window covers and potable water. The hardware/grocery stores won't be able to get any more supplies until after the hurricane comes through. I resell the plywood and water for 4-10 times what I paid for it.

There's a couple good responses to this particular scenario.

a) The managers of the hardware stores are also astute business people with access to hurricane forecasts and may charge you more if you buy around the time of a hurricane as they know their supplies are limited.

b) other hurricane profiteers are likely to buy supplies from outside the path of the hurricane and bring them to the damaged areas to sell, if there's money in it. (this one doesn't work so well for a global crisis, but it may encourage people to warehouse goods that might be critical in a crisis)
I was unaware of the diff case for the "oxford comma" in the code, but I noticed that the black formatter put it in.

The reordering case makes great sense, but I actually prefer putting the commas on the left in a data structure for aesthetic inefficiency.

Which is why setting aside superficial preference in favor of a standard formatter is superior.

Your comment implicitly - and probably unintentionally - appears to assign part of the blame to the pilots, which I think is a very bad thing to do in this particular case.
> you have my thoughts and prayers.

Pretty much. The lesson learned for me was to always have version control for the complete stack including the infra for the stack. I like terraform for this. Terragrunt at least solves the issue of modules for terraform reducing the verbosity. Assume things could go wrong and you will need to redeploy EVERYTHING. I've been there.
> Once you have a supply of toilet paper, most people are

Let me stop you there. The TP shortage was because of normal people buying enough toilet paper to stay at home full time. That’s it.

About half of the TP production goes to giant commercial rolls that go in businesses. The other half for home brands. The commercial factories need to be retooled for smaller rolls and new supply chains need to be setup for commercial to fill the home demand.

With absolutely no hoarding, the home demand would increase at least a 1/4. Then throw in people just buying multiple packs to make it 2 weeks without shopping and you’ve already wiped out the supply.

> People who think they can make a profit absolutely will

Good. I would rather have the option to pay twice the normal price than to wipe my ass with a rock because my government rationed supply ran out.

Finally, anti price gouging behavior encourages poor planning by the population at large. Maybe paying $50 for a flat of water bottles will teach you to fucking think ahead and spend $150 on a critical supplies kit.
Our use case was that the timescale of any of our tasks (depending how complex a query the user makes) can go from 1 minute to 45 minutes. We demoed a new task that occassionally went over the 1 hour mark. It's definitely annoying to have separate queues for these tasks but that might be what we need to do!

We use redis. FWIW within the narrow limits of the task properties it's remarkably stable,so no complaints on that!

> The initial research for masks indicated that they weren't helpful, due to Coronaviruses showing up on the outside of the masks after asking an infected person to cough. It wasn't until a few weeks later when they noticed that the petri dishes that the patients had coughed into had substantially more virus reproduction without masks than with the masks. The people doing the research weren't lying, it was a very logical sequence of events. Sometimes initial research implies an incorrect conclusion, that's why it's called "initial research" and not "conclusive research", which is why they "changed their minds" afterward. This is well documented and is not controversial [0]

From your link:

> This experiment did not include N95 masks and does not reflect the actual transmission of infection from patients with COVID-19 wearing different types of masks. We do not know whether masks shorten the travel distance of droplets during coughing. Further study is needed to recommend whether face masks decrease transmission of virus from asymptomatic individuals or those with suspected COVID-19 who are not coughing.

Masks aren't some cutting-edge, space-age drug that may cause cancer. They're a piece of material placed across the nose and mouth, and have been in use for literally thousands of years. We have strong priors on their value in preventing the spread of respiratory diseases in general, and in the absence of proof of their ineffectiveness at doing so for Sars-CoV2, recommending their use was obviously the prudent course of action.

None of the available information, including the study you link, made it a good idea to recommend strongly and repeatedly against wearing masks, up to and including the Surgeon General exhorting "Seriously, people - STOP BUYING MASKS".

The midwit religious adherence to scientism on parts of the left has been one of the biggest cultural failures of the pandemic, a mirror image to parts of the right's knee-jerk distrust of experts. The scientific method is the greatest knowledge-generation engine that's ever existed, but it doesn't mean forfeiting our inability to reason about anything until there's a micro-targeted peer-reviewed trial. Reasoning under uncertainty is difficult, but our public health authorities have proven themselves to be incapable of fairly basic critical thinking. The idea that this is a "logical sequence of events" is beyond laughable.
Question -- what is 'sand bagging'?
> No, of course not. But the reason why minority communities tend to be the victims of property damage during riots is the same as the reason for the riots in the first place.

I disagree, and I think that's a pernicious viewpoint. Americans tend to downplay the real antagonism and differently-aligned incentives that exists between different minority groups, in an effort to paint things as a matter of "whites versus everyone else." But, for example, Asians are treated very favorably by the police. (The incarceration rate for asian Americans is something like 1/6 of the rate for white Americans.) Saying that the problems they face are the same as those faced by other minority groups is erasing their individual experiences.

A good, modern, general purpose cross-platform GUI application framework is a very different proposition than server-side Swift. It’s also a very, very tall order that would require a lot of resources to create and a lot more to maintain... and I don’t see big strategic benefits to Apple in doing so.

I don’t think it’s going to happen.

Maybe WASM will lead to browser-side Swift and then you can do Electron-style cross platform apps using web technologies. (Not that I think Apple would put resources to that either.)
I don't think people are condoning or encouraging rioting, but are pointing out that violence is completely expected given the degree of disenfranchisement people feel in these situations.

"Going to the polls" hasn't worked. Allowing the courts to dispense justice has done anything but that. What then? People get frustrated and angry, correctly feel like they have no voice and no options, so they unfortunately resort to violence.

Local businesses being destroyed is a horrible outcome of this, but I can't even make myself feel bad about the police precinct burning. (I do feel very bad for and worry about the safety of firefighters.)

If you want to blame anyone, blame the police for getting us to where we are today.
Completely agree! I've seen SQL implementations of ledgers fail quite a few times.

I'm using DynamoDB, but any no-SQL database will do the work (currently working on Cassandra and MongoDB connectors to enable self-hosting for enterprise customers)

On the implementation side, it's a mix of both: I'm using the conditional insert/optimistic locking of no-SQL and modeled the ledger to be a hash-chain at the application layer. The design is actually simple, and it scales indefinitely.

Besides that, I'm using DynamoDB streams to build roll-ups of the transactions and make sure that all transactions are always balancing to zero in real-time.
This is type-safety, but not type-checking. The 2 are entirely different problems, and can complement each other.

I don't see this being adapted for any project since it doesn't provide any real benefit over using something like TypeScript, which won't let you do these types of mistakes.

Do you want to handle the errors (this) or not have errors (TS)? Pretty easy answer on my end.

nomad is strictly a job scheduler. If you want networking you add consul to it and they integrate nicely. Logging is handled similarly to Kubernetes.

The idea of having some kind of special syntax in `createSlice` to support declaring thunks has definitely been suggested, and there's other libraries out there that do similar things. But, anything we add to our API has to be supported indefinitely. Because of that, I wanted to release `createAsyncThunk` and `createEntityAdapter` as "standalone" utilities first and see how they actually get used by the community.

I'm definitely open to potentially integrating them together down the road, but I'd rather take it one step at a time and make sure that we're really solving the right problems the right way.

> These have the capability to just provide 24h surveillance on certain areas, which would erode citizens' privacy greatly

How so? Public spaces have already been ruled over and over to have no reasonable expectation of privacy. Further, the plethora of surveillance cameras sitting in store windows, people's doorbells, streetlight cameras, and more already surveil anyone in any public area.

Is it just these UAV's are more visible so they make you think about it more?
> it doesn't matter what it is as long as there is one

"if TP had been selling for double the normal price, they would have bought less"

When people are panicking, I think the price elasticity of demand sharply declines, and the price elasticity of supply is small in the short run. Which in turn means that the time value of money skyrockets. This seems like it might be a clue as to why allocating stuff by price in crises is a bad idea.

This is not about saving money! You can't simply shutdown manufacturing of Intel or other chips that have Spectre/Meltdown issues because that would leave us with essentially no usable CPUs for new computers!

The Spectre/Meltdown issues are deep and architectural, not simple to fix. It's not just a batch of CPUs that's the problem, but all of them.

Besides, if a CPU ships with a bug that can be fixed via a microcode patch, then it would be a tremendous economic waste for all humanity to throw those CPUs out.

Even when new CPUs come out that can be shown not to have Spectre/Meltdown issues, it will take a long time to replace the installed base of those that do because it's not a matter of a little bit of money, but a matter of a great deal of money and opportunity costs.

So microcode patches and software mitigations is all there is. Absolutist attitudes don't help.
Show HN: DeepDow: End-to-end portfolio optimization with deep learning
The 'Getting Started with ML Development' section is fairly poor here. Computer science fundamentals aren't always seen as being essential in engineering roles, but with ML at least a loose understanding of the underlying theory is crucial.

Just throwing whatever the current trend is at a problem isn't appropriate, and if you're dealing with deep neural networks, could be a really severe way to waste money depending on scale and the task.
I'm a fan of functional CSS, so no argument from me on that front but:

<div style="--mb:1.5rem; --maxw:400px;">
example
</div>

is associated with this stylesheet:

[style*="--mb:"] {
margin-bottom: var(--mb) !important;
}
[style*="--maxw:"] {
max-width: var(--maxw) !important;
}

That can't be very efficient. Also, to make this work all the rules are !important.

I think I'll stick with Tailwind, this doesn't seem to offer any improvement over it, and in fact might be much slower than using classes or ID have heavily optimised lookup paths.

EDIT: I think the "killer feature" this has compared to other functional libraries is that you're not constrained to any value scale: you can have a margin of 1.37px if you want, without having to update your CSS. Personally I think being constrained to a scale, and making arbitrary values harder to use, is actually helpful.
My what and what? :P I do get your point, it is "easy" for some definition of such, but to be fair, k8s would automatically put the ip and port in for my part of it all at least.

The post did not mention potential cost of splitting and masking these into 5 limbs instead of 4. Perhaps I am missing that in this proposed system, 256-bit ints are always stored in 5 registers, then you only normalize when the result is needed? What are the costs of splitting/masking into 5-limbs and could the scaling impact the gains of parallel adds/subtracts meaningfully?

I'm not sure what it's got to do with k8s? I can't see jobs that belong to different k8s clusters at the same time, either.

> Do you need to manage keys when ssh'n into a VM?

Well, in k8s everybody who has access to the cluster can "ssh" into each pod as root and do whatever they want, or at least that's how I've seen it, but I'm not sure it's an improvement.

> Do you know what the purpose of all the products are? If you don't know one, are you able to at least have an idea what it's for without going to documentation?

Man, if I got a dime every time someone asked "Does anyone know who owns this kubernetes job?", I'll have... hmm maybe a dollar or two...

Of course k8s can be properly managed, but IMHO, whether it is properly managed is orthogonal to whether it's k8s or vanilla AWS.
Covid is the new excuse to shutdown dissent. CNN is in on it.
You are right, though it is a shame a proprietary meta tag shoehorned into a CSS feature is now required to make unstyled webpages legible. With the fixed-width layouts of the 00’s there could conceivably be a justification, but never with CSS-less webpages. With all that said, I hope more people keep leaving out this tag, to remind some smartphone users that, despite all the wonders their $1000+ device can do, it doesn’t get unstyled HTML.
