I've been writing C# with Godot for well over a year and a half now. I've had technical issues, especially early on due to how immature it was, and I have my own gripes with some APIs which is natural with something as wide scoped as a game engine. That said I don't have to step outside the static typed safezone very often and the instances where that is required is being reduced heavily over time. GDScript got static typing and basic support for static analysis which is being improved and expanded upon even further in 4.0. At this point in time I would say that C# support specifically has nearly reached first class citizen status and with the API changes in 4.0 which are making signals and others more static will further improve the situation.
I'm surprised that this isn't a bigger deal. Most people won't specify a type and use whatever the default is.

The test is going from zero to production traffic in a new cloud region.
Sometimes I think there is other information that gives the physics its meaning.

For example, if you took a Shingled Magnetic Recording hard drive filled with VP9 encoded movie files on a NTFS partition, even if you perfectly understood the physics, and figured out all the individual magnetic fields, you would still have a rough time making sense of the of what was on it without this higher level information information.
Ah, right, yes. I see what you were getting at now. Thanks for clearing that up.
I agree for small products, it makes sense to just buy a product license. An example that I love is: Viscosity (https://www.sparklabs.com/viscosity/). It's a small OpenVPN client that just works. The license model makes the most sense since I can just buy the product and forget about it, until the next upgrade comes along. (Note, I have no affiliation with the company, they are not paying me in any way, just a happy user)
I see a high likelihood that being assigned or allowed to work in the office becomes a status/power thing, similar to the old office vs cubicle divide. Who is worth letting into the sanctum? If proximity becomes a more limited commodity it will become more precious.
Looking at UC system, I see that UCSB chancellor received $415k compensation, 9th highest at UCSB, but only 750th highest across UC campuses! Top two salaries went to athletic coaches at UCLA.

Kubernetes, when viewed as the OS for the data center, controls, manages, and allocates a pool of shared resources. When I install and run an application on my laptop, there are a ton of details I don't care about that just happen magically. Kubernetes maps this idea onto the resources and applications of the cloud.

Again, Kubernetes is far more than just deploying, running, mad scaling an application. It allows so many problems to be solved at the system level, outside of an application and developers awareness.

Take for example restricting base images at your organization. With Kubernetes, SecOps can install an application which scans all incoming jobs and either rejects them, or in more sophisticated setups, hot swaps the base image
Yes. It is a very expensive and rare meal.

Exams performed by someone else? About once a year.

A self-exam once a month is one of those "good hygiene" things, though, and might be a decent idea to promote right now while people are getting cagey.
I'm sure it's trivial to work out the exploit for anyone as embarrassing it is, but the author releasing an exploit in just a couple days after the release it pretty irresponsible.
I'm curious what the response would be if someone started advertising up there that they wanted all available protestor-shot high definition footage that showed police officers' faces (particularly when a nametag or readable badge number was also visible) for the stated purpose of training a facial recognition system.

Somehow I think it would be roundly condemned by every law enforcement agency with any presence or interest in the area.
The way you measure it is how the GP defined it: percent women who develop early stage breast cancer per month * number of months closed per year.
The factors are multiple in nature with the virus around; masking itself is not directly causal(after all, Asian countries have accepted it for decades), but there are certain other things that the virus did that make This Time Different:

1. Lots of people staying at home.

2. Lots of people out of work.

3. A challenge to the authority of the police to conduct society(the virus is more threatening than they are, and populations are resisting the return to business as usual narratives)

4. A lack of targets for police harassment to "let loose on" (because nobody is out and about)

These factors all build up to make a tinderbox where the officers who are looking for trouble(and they are always present and hungry for action) go out of their way to stir it up through provacateur tactics, and the population responds with quite a lot more force than usual since they are out of work and stuck at home and have nothing else to do. And it only escalates from there, because, again, you have police officers that are really dead set on the idea of "go get 'em", and see this as a role-playing opportunity. I should discuss the role-play in some more detail.

In the decades of collective memory, protests served as media flashpoints where the action is molded to the narrative. Everyone involved does a little bit of role-play, gets their fill of the narrative they want to see, and then goes home, with a few arrests and a bit of violence along the way, and a media product is subsequently served on the news afterwards, shaped to fit the tastes of the audience. Career activists would develop personal brands around the appropriation of protest groups towards news narrative, and the police were eager to play along and be the "other side". This dynamic of protest-as-product made protests seem unable to address legitimate concerns, since neither group was "going for the throat", as it may.

The dynamic has gradually shifted, at first slowly with protests like '99 Seattle WTO, and then faster as you get into the 2010's and live streaming takes off; coverage is getting much closer and more personal, and this runs in tandem with the rise of surveillance and police militarization creating pervasive cynicism about large institutions of all kinds. Branding of all kinds - from CNN to the blue check mark Twitter account - is mistrusted. Direct action is increasingly tolerated by the population, who can now easily hear the case for such without an intermediary. The virus has accelerated those trends, and so there's a sense of nobody holding back anymore.

Which, of course, makes it easier for the police to dehumanize the protestors.
Unsubscribe isn’t for spam. It’s for when your stupid bank sends stupid marketing emails to you, but they’re your bank and you can’t just block them, so you politely ask them to stop. There’s laws (the CAN-SPAM act) that say they have to honor your unsubscribe request and stop sending you non-transactional emails (with a few other exceptions.) Ditto the dealership you bought your car from, that online shop you used that one time, etc.

I typically report companies that violate this (Chase, I’m looking at you with your “transactional” emails that are just thinly veiled ads) to the FCC (there’s an online report form) but I don’t know how much it helps.

You use unsubscribe for anyone with which you have some sort of prior relationship. Anything else is spam, report it and move on.
I truly was not trying to offend or trivialize anything: my only point, as best as I can distill it, is that people react irrationally and inappropriately to infectious diseases. And we need to work on that. This is not at all unique to HIV/AIDS, even though people suffering from AIDS have born the brunt of the actual suffering. If we can’t have open, rational discussions about HSV, how can we do the same with HIV?

Edit: grammar
> Saying "enough is enough" means going to the polls

What if voter suppression or gerrymandering exists? What if no candidate wants to address police brutality? What if issues are easily forgotten over a multi-year cycle with a complicit media?

Rioting shouldn't be a first choice, but polls don't fix everything.

There are many cases of kidney disorders causing issues in vitamin D metabolism - the majority of literature examples I read involved genetic kidney disorders which would not be be caused by increased calcium absorption.

If I remember correctly, DEC, Tektronix, Honeywell, Qume and other real terminals moved to 110 characters per line in their later generation terminals.

Coming from the perspective of that era I never understood the obsession with 80 characters per line.

I can honestly say that I have never limited my code through such artifice, ever.

I can give examples of code where artificially breaking things into 80 characters makes an absolute mess out of things. Complex table-driven state machine lookup tables and FPGA I/O definitions come to mind, among others.
I might be one of these people?

I want a government that trusts us and respects our rights (e.g., non police state) and that helps to provide for the poor and vulnerable (e.g., healthcare).

I don't see any conflict between these goals. Our medicare providers are not flying drones and kneeling on necks.

A $2 trillion dollar bailout - primarily to industry - is not comparable to $100 million dollars on medical research.

I know these kinds of explosions aren't disasters per se, but at what point in development do these kind of destructive results become very unwanted? Or was that classic Calvin and Hobbes comic about bridge testing less of a joke than I had though?

I understand the point you were trying to get across. Many STIs have substantial stigma around them and it makes it harder to fight them.

I just want to caution you that making these forms of equivalences is a common tactic to derail and discount the impact of HIV or the experience of populations disproportionately harmed, in the same way that people derail discussions about the disproportionate killing of black people by police with statements like "why focus on black people? nobody should be killed by police."

I believe that you were not intending to do so, but I also hope that you understand and can be cognizant of that dynamic.
> you shouldn't really care about those kind of micro-optimizations at any point of (early) development

Changing APIs afterwards would become very difficult, hence the reason for early decision.
I decided to take a shot at COBOL and wrote a simple machine learning algorithm (Perceptron, a single neuron neural network). I had a lot of fun doing it and I hope you like it.
Italy’s 1990 “AIDS: If you know it, you avoid it” public service advertisement is indelibly seared into the consciousness of my whole generation. Drawing purple outlines around things is still an instant reminder of that. The soundtrack is often heard overlaid over threatening scenarios much as the Benny Hill soundtrack is overload over situations to indicate they are ‘funny’.

The problem is, in a market where price gouging is possible, there's an incentive to hoard which can outweigh the benefits of incentives for new producers to enter a market.

Its not too human to have sex for hours and am not against it whether its gay or straight or whatever, as long as they at least are aware of STDs and even that is not really my concern, it’s a free country. But I do get upset even at my behaviour in cases like i was at the SPA. I didn’t say a thing cause I was with my kids and wouldn’t have said a thing if i was alone either. It’s become delicate to say these things as you are labeled as a bigot which I refuse to accept. Im not a bigot, I understand its not abnormal to be gay, one of my kids may turn out to be gay and I’d be supportive and educate them that its okay to be gay and not take part in orgies, its okay to have protected sex etc.

Hypersexuality in general gets on my nerves because it’s an industry that wants to make money and makes people do and buy stupid things.

Someone is saying that Im racist and I should be “fixed” up by someone in these protests. Why, because I have my views? Because i am unconfortable running into gay men having sex in a public place? Should I just shut up? I did shut up and pretended it didnt happen but it was a weird family moment
Sounds like you need better logmon or more practice. Debugging apps is so much easier on k8s.

That's essentially what we already do. My original point was based on the fact that the config changes all the time (as opposed to 4 times a year).

I'm convinced a lot of the JS form validation can now be removed in favor of HTML5 form element attribute.

You can just set the form action URL to your asp endpoint, which will validate data again, and show the post form on errors, or 302 redirect to the target/form if valid.
Helm is becoming its own nightmare, fortunately work is already begun to replace it gracefully
Which doesn't really mean that HIV/AIDS is not dangerous, but rather it underscores how much more dangerous CoViD really is.

I truly hope we manage a better response than the AIDS crisis, because a similar response to COVID-19 would be incredibly devastating.
I like programming, because programming is the fundamental essence of automation.

Automation reduces the work humans have to do, which is generally good for everyone.
Malaria used to be endemic in the USA as far north as New York. The USA "did DDT" specifically to eliminate malaria [1]. And it worked, the stuff is so nasty and persistent it completely wiped out the disease reservoir in the mosquito population. Was it worth the price? I'm an Audubon supporter and bird watcher, but I value human lives more highly.

How big does your company get before you need to step away from a tiny handful of very large EC2s?

If you have 16CPU EC2 for your business logic, one for your DB, and you're smartly hosting your static content elsewhere or via Cloudflare ... I mean you need to have a 'big company' before going too far beyond that.

What gives? What are all these startups doing?

This is not a story about K8's, this is entirely something else, it's about psychology, complexity, our love of it, or rather our 'belief' that complexity = productivity that solving 'the hard infra problem' must inherently, be somehow be 'good for the company' because it 'feels difficult' and therefore must be doing something powerful or at least gaining some kind of competitive advantage?

(Aside from the 'Docker is Useful and K8's follows' point which actually makes sense a little bit ...)
Your argument is about complexity but it doesn’t really speak to kubernetes itself. You can have some dead simple architecture on top of k8s. Hosting your own k8s though, that’s pretty complex, but get that working (or have your cloud provider just host a cluster for you) and things can be pretty darned simple.
The arbitrage opportunity also relies on the store letting someone buy all of their stock
> Kubernetes IS the spirit of the Cloud and 12 factor apps.

I would argue that Kubernetes has _nothing whatsoever_ to do with the spirit of the Cloud, and that in fact "serverless" embodies the spirit of pay-as-you-use consumption models.
Elimination of Malaria in the United States
I think this is a very misleading way of looking at it.

For example the US Preventative Task Force evaluates evidence and recommends screening guidelines as well as giving the strength of the evidence.

For breast cancer, the only recommended screening is that women age 50 to 74 have mammograms every 2 years. And that is B grade evidence.

https://www.uspreventiveservicestaskforce.org/uspstf/recomme...

With screenings, you have to be really careful about selection bias. Basically, screening will catch a larger proportion of slow growing cancer. Also with respect to staging, the slower growing a cancer, the earlier the stage you will catch it at.

My guess would be that if you have a cancer that is rapidly going from stage 1 to stage 2, you would already have a worse outcome and the 2 months screening hiatus is not going to be that big a difference maker.

EDIT:

In case people ask about clinical breast exams and self breast exams, here are the American Cancer Society guidelines:

"Research has not shown a clear benefit of regular physical breast exams done by either a health professional (clinical breast exams) or by women themselves (breast self-exams)."

https://www.cancer.org/cancer/breast-cancer/screening-tests-...

So the only guidelines with evidence backing them up call for 2 year screenings. Within that framework, a 2 month delays are not going to be very clinically significant.
I believe, there's a small difference between the reason of the protest. These lockdown "protesters" demanded their right to do a haircut, assaulting government building with weapons. FYI in my country they'd had been shot, as soon as police see they carry a weapon. I don't mean this is right, I mean, you have a real luxury to protect your rights and express you freedom, which many people don't have, but the definition itself of this freedom is often abused. In general, one universal rule works: one person's freedom ends where freedom of other person starts.
Ya, the word “export” was incorrect in OP’s post
There is massive conflict between the goals when power and money enter the discussion.

I’m also not sure where what you describe exists and how it’s implemented. I am curious to learn if anyone has any sources on such a place: great healthcare, highly involved citizens and low government intervention in daily life. And no, I’m not being sarcastic, I am sincerely wondering about it.
There's very little in the way of media or other assets -- it's all just code.
Watch this:

"It's actually good optics that it exploded, because it shows they aren't changing their schedules for the sake of optics. Political pressure to make the schedule fit the public's feelings was a major contributor to the Challenger disaster. So, having a tank blow up the day before a manned launch shows that SpaceX has overcome the challenges of the past."

(See? That spin makes the turbopump look like a stator. If I have a point it's that talking about optics is pointless, because you can make the optics anything you want by casting the right light.)
Was he? I recall him getting pissed off that SN1 exploded. He doesn't want things to blow up for bad reasons.
Dude, i dont have those views of gayness. How about you go to a spa with your kids and unawares you see a gay orgy. I didnt say a thing because of my kids and because i didnt want to to be the gay hater you’re talking about. But yeah, use that bigot label carelessly and it will mean nothing
It is more than just natural language. You could look at math journals, for their jargon. Music notation. Recipes.

Really, is there any writing that doesn't seem to apply?
Yeah, I've used HP-UX as well. All the fun of an OS and compiler no one uses, with the added bonus of all the quirks of a CPU that really no one uses. I wonder if the soldiers 1000s of libraries deep in the Oracle link line read HN and have some fun IA-64 porting tales.
Yes, in the end there are only lists of transactions and so great potential for interacting with them from a central, simple API. It may or may not be worth having a look at the open banking APIs that are in use here in the UK.
MiroF - I (could not initially) reply to your comment directly, but that was a perfect analogy to make your point. I can definitely see how my first comment could be taken that way, and that was not at all my intention. As with many things, I gotta work on my contextual phrasing and presentation!
Is it the maps that never existed, or the rivers that never existed? What does this title mean?
Hit the nail on the head. How else could you at the push of a button not just get a running application but an entire coordinated system of services like you get with helm. And deploying a kubernetes cluster with kops is easy. I don't know why people hate on k8s so much. For the space I work in it's a godsend

Funnily enough, in Italy (where I grew up) there was next to no association in the public mind between HIV/AIDS and homosexuality. It was linked to drug use and sexual promiscuity, but it was drilled into us that any kind of unprotected sex (and for most people, that was automatically construed as heterosexual sex) was a risky behaviour.

I was honestly very surprised when, towards the end of the nineties and early 2000s, it gradually dawned upon me that elsewhere there was a connotation of HIV/AIDS as having been somehow associated with homosexuality ‘abroad’.

For us, in Italy, it was very much perceived as an activity-related risk, not an identity-related one. (As I dare say it should be, methinks.)
There's a silent majority of people that don't use k8s (or containers) - hell there is a significant portion of servers that don't even use linux. I find the majority of engineers my age (mid 30s) think it is nothing more than straight marketing - between said marketing fueled vc dollars and "every company is a software company" there's a very good reason why k8s has taken off but I'd ask the following:

Why should it have?

Many people I talk with will complain about security, performance and complexity of k8s (and containers in general). Non-practicing engineers (read: directors/vps-eng) will complain about the associated cost with administering their k8s clusters both in terms of cloud cost and devops personnel cost.

Someone earlier mentioned it was the new wordpress - I don't think that's an unfair comparison, although I would challenge the complexity/cost of it.
Few people actually need high availability.

If you do, the recipe is to reduce the number of components, get the most reliable components you can find, and make the single points of failure redundant.

Saying you can use Kubernetes to turn whatever stupid crap people tend to deploy with it highly available, is like saying you can make an airliner reliable by installing some sort of super fancy electronic box inside. You don't get more reliability by adding more components.
didn't some variants of BASIC do this?

smalltalk is storing the code together with the compiled result in an image, so it could do the same, but i am not aware of any implementation that does that.
