You are right. Linus Walleij's name is on the list of kernel maintainers[1].

Interesting. Tell us more about the technical side of things. How does it work on your end??
There's a lot of stuff in this thread. I've addressed some of them briefly by adding a Discussion section to the post. I'll go into a bit more depth here.

It is important to identity where the complexity is coming from. The post describes how to spin up various resources in a common IaaS provider. Does it appear complicated? Well, everything is relative. Is what is described in the post more or less complicated than purchasing physical servers, racking them, networking them, installing an operating system, configuring the servers, configuring the services running on those services, setting up and configuring a firewall, configuring a network proxy, managing access to theses components, etc.? We've not even gotten to anything Kubernetes-specific here. The complexity is there, we are really just talking about how and where the complexity manifests itself. If you aren't managing a lot of services with distinct requirements, you can avoid complexity by using a more "concierge" application service like Heroku, Elastic Beanstalk, App Engine, or Firebase. The trade-off is less control over the environment and increased costs at scale, i.e., running one service is cheaper on these app services, running 100 will be more expensive.

If you decide you do need flexibility or your scale is such that Kubernetes makes sense, then be aware that the complexity is not in Kubernetes requirements for running an application. The complexity comes from the inherent complexities in running an application and the overhead in mapping common application requirements to the Kubernetes application model. Things like load balancers, TLS certificates, and DNS are part of the former and will be part of any solution. You must mentally map how you have traditionally managed applications to the Kubernetes concepts of deployments, pods, services, and ingresses. This can be challenging and confusing. Other runtime platforms, e.g., Docker Swarm, Cloud Foundry, and Mesos, have similar concepts and require similar mental effort. The reason that Kubernetes has won the open source platform competition is because its application model solves a large number of use cases, its abstractions provide an excellent balance between granularity, complexity, & flexibility, and it provides a platform upon which higher-order, i.e., simplified or "rolled-up", solutions can be created. Your relative familiarity and comfort with other runtime solutions should not cloud your judgement about which is best, and any consideration of best must consider more than just perceived "complexity".
I can't think of a faster way to kill a trendy app's popularity than getting bought by Oracle.
It would be hilarious and speak to the dysfunction of every part of this situation if Oracle ended up owning tiktok.

Is feature engineering still a thing? For example transforming circular images (like coins) to log-polar coordinates and maybe even taking the absolute value of Fourier transform to get rotation-invariant features.
After some of the recent J posts I spent a bit of time refreshing myself on it:

or equivalently:

Reminiscent of the fernsehturm in berlin. [0]

It's kind of nice. You can usually keep track of where you are in Berlin, by triangulating around the tower, which is visible from a great distance and in one of the "centers" of Berlin [1].

If you're ever lost, you can just walk towards it, and eventually you'll end up in the one of metro's nexus at Alexanderplatz.

I don't know anything about this, so I can't comment. But sex trafficking and cover-ups do happen; see: Jimmy Savile, Catholic church, Epstein, Bill Cosby, etc.

From a very quick search it seems that the police didn't take several cases serious, and were at the very least rather lax in their attitude. In other words, there's at least an actual crime and at least some smoke. It's not something invented from nothing.

And this is the real danger of this sort of politicized conspiracy bullshit: now this is automatically seen as "politically motivated" instead of actually looking at the matter at hand. People who spread pizzagate-esque conspiracy theories or enable them are very much harming the anti-paedophilia efforts.
Wow, that looks amazing. Didn't know you could sideload apps with the .ipa trick. Maybe I'll finally start using my ipad to watch youtube again.
As much as I dislike Trump, I hate polarizing headlines that have no evidence in the article to back it up. They merely say that the administration could have power over the choice of acquirer through CFIUS. That Ellison is a donor to the Trump campaign so theoretically that could make Trump like them. But it's all hypothetical and not backed in evidence.

This is the type of journalism that is killing trust in professional news organizations today. It's exhausting and I am sick of it.

Thanks for the link! I'm working on the documentary and as we don't have a distributor we're doing what we can. We know that people all over the world would like to see it. We have to develop subtitles and reach out to theaters in each country to partner with them. It's a lot of work. If anyone has suggestions of art houses in the country they are located, please send them to us! We are partnering with independent cinemas because they are really hurting because of the pandemic, so any venue that partners with us gets 50/50 split of profits.
The analogy doesn't apply because Citibank doesn't owe Brigade anything, they just happen to also be Revlon's banker.
They’re arguing that Revlon prepaid the amount they owed to Brigade for financing a deal. Moreover, Citibank was the bank that was supposed to be making payment installments to Brigade on Revlon’s behalf.

This is very different from the case you’re referring to.

It depends on the level of detail in the plan. The article says to delay the plan, not to skip it. The goal of that is to avoid fleshing out the details of parts that are not relevant to the current focus (with "focus" being defined as the scope of the current sprint).

Of course, you need to know the direction of the project. But spending time on details that you cannot directly validate with implementation, risks both wasting time because of invalid assumptions, and risks wasting time because the requirements may change when you get around to implementing it.

Remember that "planning a sprint" gets very deep very quickly. It's not just about setting direction, it's about deciding display names, storage types and UX interactions. The point of the article is that that level of planning should not be done months in advance.
The allure of secret knowledge...
That's probably why the courts agreed to freeze the funds completely.
Why is "be a hero and go to a US prison" not an option? Civil disobedience always has a greater impact when you accept the consequences of your actions, or as Congressman John Lewis would call it, "good trouble."

The fact that we can only cite as governments possibly willing to grant asylum to Snowden non-democratic autocracies who have terrible records on surveillance, human rights and civil liberties should be a hint as to what their motives would be for giving him protection to begin with.
> Yes.

Care to share?, I'm curious :)

> Which is not a simple task. Why can't keeping old software be simple? It is in sane operating systems. Hell, even Linux can do it right, as AppImage proves, but the Linux Desktop community is so hell bent on making everything as complicated as possible that they pretty much ignore AppImage.

Resources make it complicated (time/money/...). I wouldn't maintain another person's library that he doesn't bother with.

> Windows 7 was supported for nearly 11 years and it was rare new software didn't support it for that entire time.

You are comparing a paid product with something free. For better or worse new software works on ubuntu older versions as well, but you need to compile it or work to get it there. Or just upgrade.

I assume you can also switch to Red Hat which have paid support.

> Precisely. Linux Desktop people seem to think that targeting people who only need a web kiosk is somehow going to make them popular, but if people who actually know about and need the features of an actual desktop computer don't like it why would they ever recommend it to anyone?

My point there was if you are a power user you should be able to get it working, it's a skill that's very good to have. Other less skilled people don't hit it by virtue of not playing around.

The 'Linux Desktop' people that you say are targeting things for better or worse put in time to build free products, if you don't like some switch to others or contribute.
This one doesn't bother me much. What's harder and worse, IMO, is doing saturating math.
Maybe I’m just out of the loop, but I haven’t heard that one, and I find it hard to believe it’s anywhere near as widespread as QAnon.
Not gonna throw my hat into the ring with my own opinion... but isn’t this totally off-topic?
We’re talking about YouTube being used as a platform for spreading misinformation/conspiracies/etc. and you’re talking about sexualisation of children on Netflix and are clearly jumping at the opportunity to share your political opinions, and also personally attack and accuse another commenter.
Have your political opinions, I won’t address them, but jesus christ don’t be such an ass about it by attacking people in unrelated discussions.

Edit: I’ll also add that the original commenter was deliberately vague (didn’t mention “Trump” or specific political groups, for example) to avoid controversy and you come in attempting to bulldoze that by mentioning BLM.
Fortnite might not be losing that much after all, have in mind that it's free to play, and we don't know how much profit they have after dealing with all free traffic coming from iOS devices, paying Apple tax and paying regular state income tax (although tech comapnies are known to be tricky about this last one).

It might be that is just not worth for such a massive game to be free to play, if you can't extrat enough profit from paying users.
For content I regularly view (i.e. subscriptions)? Sure.

What about all the one-off bicycle/car maintenance videos I watch? Or a cool animation someone linked me? Or that music video from my favorite band?
Boeing hasn't sold that many since the problems. No details of the sale were made public. For all we know, Enter Air got them for free as compensation for the losses they had with their aircraft being grounded.
I’d say do the second one as it solves a problem you have. At the very least you get that. Also make sure you set up the business properly so that you are protected personally if the business does break ToS and you’ll learn that process as well.
There are many different payment scheme out there, which all have different parameters.

ACH is someone unique in that money can just be pulled back, and even in transactions that take a long time to clear, doesn’t mean that you can cancel them.

Clearing time is usually caused by multiple sequential systems at multiple institutions taking their time do something. But once Citi started the transaction, and their system send the payment messages they probably couldn’t retract the payment.

Once the first payment message was sent it immediately created a liability on Citi for the money (either to the payment scheme or the receiving bank), at that point actually moving the money becomes a bit academic, an unbreakable promise has already been made.
Any p2p system over an anonymity framework like Tor or I2P would meet that criteria.

Even if Epic isn't directly suing them at this time, a ruling against Apple and/or Google for their store behavior will hit every other app/game store operator. Arguably, there's limits to how many companies Epic can go after at once, and they have to pick their battles somewhat politically, I imagine. But if an Apple or Google behavior gets ruled unlawful in court, and Sony or Microsoft or Nintendo is doing it, Epic probably won't even have to sue to make them drop it.
> How do you feel about the oversexualization of children in such Netflix programs such as Cuties. Are you willing to defend the most innocent and vulnerable of society? I highly doubt it.

I've seen that go by on Twitter and am not impressed .. should I call for it to be cancelled?

(Mind you, a stock feminist answer might be that the Netflix series is just a representation of a whole rotten child beauty pageant culture which in turn derives from the sexist adult beauty pageant culture, and that nobody should be sexualised without their consent - which cannot appropriately be given by people who are underage.)
I would love to understand whether the fact that I feel more focussed listening to this is pavlovian or soundwave-related.

Here's one of the news stories about it, mentioning a British government report into the intelligence they had around September 11 and usage of MS Flight Simulator. (Apologies for a Daily Mail link, it's the only one I could find with some quick Googling, but it was commonly reported at the time.)

Wow, this is terribly insensitive. They celebrate all those dead kids by giving mosquitoes a world day? Who came up with this, Hitler?
I can’t read German so I don’t know the details the story is detailing if any but isn’t this just the ultimate example of “fake it till you make it”, combined with an Uber-esque disdain for laws and regulations?

Why are people always so surprised when “disruptive” organisations actually end up doing a bunch of weird shit?
So I think we have ruled out those reasons. I could go into each one of them but that would take a while. That is with the exception of data corruption by politicians-- I am concerned about that and planning to look further into it. "It writes the rules and we barely have managed to decipher some of them"- this I strongly disagree with. The media has portrayed it that way. But from the science community perspective, it hasn't been mysterious at all. It's just that the media and the politicians are translating to the public- and those translations are highly corrupt and motivated by money.
You hit the nail on the head here. Safety is a key question that often comes up in discussions that we have with customers, and is of course a key focus in the development of the Candela model range.

As you mention, the deep V hull cuts waves pretty well, but we also have algorithms monitoring the position of the boat in 3D space, looking for signals that indicate a treacherous seastate or an unfavorable position of the boat. This means that we won't do the nose dives that you see in the sailing videos.

Be sure that we have landed unexpectedly quite a few times to get to where we are! :D

To sum it up, when you are accustomed to flying with the Seven and you know where the limits are in terms of wave handling, then it's no different from riding in a regular boat in choppy seas or high waves. Unruly seas require alert sailors, in all types of boats.

We're publishing a short video soon, purely focused on running through waves from large passenger ferries. Sub to our youtube to know when.
Yes ads have increased. I wish they would keep the ad time proportionate to the length of the video. For example, a 3-minute clip would keep it to maybe 15 seconds of ads and only one interruption. For 30 minutes, an ad every 10 minutes might be tolerable.
tl;dr:

Database did not have correct indexes.

Database is not scalable (serverless).

IOPS were hard limited by AWS plan.

No performance metrics/alerts in place to easily pin-point the issue.

Infrastructure resources are shared by all users (one user going viral means that all the other users are affected).

Article was somewhat confusing for me, as it didn't clearly state the problem (bottleneck), solution or architecture.
I agree, that's why in scientific contexts the unit of energy is the Joule.

That is a co-incidence due the name Corona meaning crown in Latin as well as Spanish along with the zip code being populated with folks presumably in sectors where WFH is not possible.

"From corona (“crown-like circle of light appearing around the sun”) +‎ virus.[1][2] Corona is derived from Latin corōna (“garland, wreath; crown”), from Ancient Greek κορώνη (korṓnē, “something curved; curved stern of a ship; end, point, tip”), from Proto-Indo-European *(s)ker- (“to bend, turn”). The name refers to the characteristic appearance of its virions by electron microscopy, which have a fringe of surface projections creating an image reminiscent of a solar corona.[3] Compare the former genus name Coronavirus."

Indeed, whenever a headline contains "Trump" and "could"; I just automatically tune out. Same as for headlines ending with a "?", you know that it'll be speculation that is unlikely to be true or relevant in any way.

It matters for discoverability and frictionless installs/payments. That's the hardest part these days.

I am not thrilled by the idea of uneven developer access to the primary channels. Now I pay Apple 100$ and the %30 commission and I have my apps right next to the big boys. Apparently the big boys are planning to get free of the %30 and have their own walled garden where potentially I am not allowed.

There's a risk of proliferation of a business model that is possible on the Epic Store but not on AppStore and I am not welcome to join.

As a developer I would prefer a regulation to the AppStore for even access instead of alternative appstores.

Why can't we banish this mass killer and cause of immense suffering to humans and animals alike.

I haven't seen any compelling evidence that they form any vital component of ecosystems apart from obviously spreading disease and applying some adapation pressure - which we could eliminate like we have done with lots of other killers.

You don't need to spend €1000 to develop for Windows. Visual Studio Community Edition [1] is free to use for individuals, even for developing paid applications. Even if you're running a multi-developer business, Visual Studio Professional can be had for far less than €1000.

That is interesting. There is some magic networking going on if Google allows every customer to allocate an IP range of their choice, and the customer can use all the IPs in that range, and Google runs multiple customers on the same network (same VPC and subnet).

A project can contain multiple VPCs. And a VPC can contain multiple subnets, but not with overlapping ranges.
