Aside from being faster than replacing all of the hosts, the reason OpenShift does it this way is that you can't just burn down and replace a fleet of bare metal machines. While re-PXEing is possible, this takes a ton of time and stresses that infrastructure.

Doing the same on cloud, metal, OpenStack, VMware, etc means that your cluster's operational experience remains the same and in most cases is less disruptive.

edit: having your nodes controlled by your cluster has a number of other benefits aside from patching, like the Node Tuning Operator that can tweak settings based on the types of workloads running on that set of machines.
The approach you’re taking by inviting us to ask “What is Purdue doing right” is the exact methodology evangelized in the book “The Power of Positive Deviance.” Essentially, find the successful outliers, and see if you can apply the success technique elsewhere. The book mentions that one of their difficulties (in using their approach) is that other people and organizations don’t often want to adopt the success technique for various reasons. They found that by encouraging the successful people and organizations to spread the message as peers (or even bottom up) it worked better than trying to coach others into success (from the top down). Thanks for highlighting Purdue!
To be perfectly honest, I don't actually have a strong recollection of how much charging for checked bags changed things. In any case though, it's universally my observation that (in the pre-COVID world anyway) there's far too little carry on space to go around.
I like permutation city from Egan, for some more nice thoughts on the matter.
Do you have any affiliation or contact with https://www.brainpreservation.org/ ?
Nice! You probably know of this link "Get started making music"[0] and I found it pretty cool.

What do you think of "The Sims Game Design Documents"[1]? Could you recommend other similar resources?

I guess what really strikes a chord with me is the arc, not only "in" the game, but of the journey to make the game. One book I enjoyed on an emotional level was "The Making of Prince of Persia"[2] by Jordan Mechner. I also enjoyed "Masters of Doom"[3] by David Kushner, but more on the merit of good research, which I really respect. I don't want a montage, I want the story with the suffering and tribulations.

Do you know of similar content?

Yes, people do it.

It isn't an easy life. You get a tiny apartment and share bedrooms. Parents (more likely parent though) often sleep in the living room. Not all apartments will allow this but enough will that you can find a place. There is enough money for shelter and food, and the cheap cable TV, so that is your entertainment.

It isn't a bad life, but you are limited away from a lot of the things most of us enjoy.

I know people who have done it. I went to college and want my kids to do the same so they don't have to live that life. Unfortunately most in that life don't realize that it wouldn't be hard to get their kids out of it. They are eligible for a lot of programs that the rest of us can't get to take care of the costs, but if you don't realize that the effort of applying yourself is worth it they won't get you out and the cycle repeats.
I mean $100/yr to get faster shipping and not have to batch orders in groups of $25 for an entire household is pretty okay value.
For the Bella Thorne case in particular, it seems like it could be handled by onlyfans creating their own refund/fraud system.

Returning money received fraudulently seems reasonable and unlikely to be challenged by content creators (whom you are presumably clawing it back from). A short "escrow" period to enable this seems unlikely to be challenged by content creators.

The problematic case for chargebacks are probably "all the other ones" that aren't demonstrable fraud.

Perceptive Automata | Boston, MA | ONSITE + VISA
Perceptive Automata is a Boston-based startup that's building models to help robots understand humans. Currently we're working with OEMs, Tier 1 suppliers, and self-driving technology companies to help autonomous vehicles anticipate what pedestrians and other road users are likely to do next.

We're a small, but rapidly growing team (we had paused a bit due to COVID) and we have a number of open positions (https://www.perceptiveautomata.com/careers).

I'm planning to post a role for a senior engineer to lead the ongoing development of our data processing & machine learning pipeline and prepare us to scale up these efforts as our customer work ramps up. This person would also be charged with managing (and growing) the small team responsible for this pipeline. Although I don't have a job description to post yet, I'd encourage HN'ers to reach out to me directly if this sounds interesting and you want to hear more!
A quick search shows that L7 also exists at Facebook and Google at least. It's a senior (staff) software engineer. https://www.levels.fyi/company/Google/salaries/Software-Engi... Not sure about the ER part though.
Ask HN: Are there dual 4-channel multiplexers with independent selectors?
I see this a lot in job postings; they often use internal language that you need to somehow learn to translate. This is particularly true with positions, which makes no sense because you then need to figure out what exactly “L7” is relative to the scale you have in your head.
That's a pretty big "if", though. Boilerplate is generally noisy, and it can be challenging to encapsulate it well enough (e.g. behind function boundaries) that the remaining code is high level and business-logic oriented. Company culture can only go so far (unless you're willing to pay the full tax, and maintain your code in the costly, slow way that e.g. NASA and other life-critical systems developers would).

You can get halfway to Nirvana just by using a language that self-manages memory and has some kind of exception system (error handling at a distance); something like RAII (automatic lifecycle management, or automatic destructors in a pinch) can be a big help, too. Now, at least, all the systems-level boilerplate can be omitted from your mainline code.

But high level, business logic pitfalls are hard to encapsulate, and especially so in a dynamically typed program. Documentation becomes critically important (don't ever do X before you do Y), as rigorous unit tests for chains of actions can sometimes be difficult to write. A good, type-level model of your program can be a helpful set of safety rails when refactoring a a large and complex code base, and a rich type system gives you more tools to build those rails to fit the the solution you're building. As a (weak) example, if your type model never lets you read from a file that's already been closed, that's one less thing you have to cover in testing or documentation -- or more importantly, it's one less thing you have to remember to test.

At scale, having multiple ways to introduce structure into an otherwise chaotic (or arbitrarily structured) code base is a win. Building a good type-level model is one smart way to achieve that.

Sourcegraph (https://sourcegraph.com) | Software Engineer, Engineering Manager, Security Engineer, Product Manager, sales, legal, finance, and more | ALL REMOTE

Sourcegraph is building Universal Code Search so developers can focus on solving problems instead of struggling to find and understand code.

Sourcegraph search helps developers find and discover code by providing the ability to quickly search across all code using regular expressions and advanced filters. Sourcegraph code intelligence helps developers navigate and understand code by providing hover tooltips, go-to-definition, and find-references, when viewing code on Sourcegraph or on a code host (via our browser extension). Sourcegraph campaigns enable developers to fix and evolve code at scale by automating search-and-replace and running arbitrary tools across massive codebases.

The biggest problem with that write-up is ignoring availability. "Fast all the way up to the crash" can be much worse than slow and steady.

Of course, for a batch job with a runtime under 11 minutes, that probably doesn't really matter too much. Just don't generalize that too much.
I worked at SAP for seven years in their cloud business and about half the engineering staff had MBP laptops. Some engineering teams used only Macs. Operations was the same way. Engineering computer usage in India was mostly Windows, China was ~50% Macs, US/Canada was ~80% Macs, and Europe was ~50% Macs.

Humanity in general need these things: food, shelter & love / societal interactions.

So much money is spent on things outside these necessities that I would argue for a particular person it's much more valuable than a chair. Buying "love" even temporarily might be better for the psyche than buying that new flatscreen that is just slightly improved than the old flatscreen.
How do you like OpenShift? (I work for Red Hat but I'm just asking as a friend :-) )
50 years PARC there is a metaphysical hack?
I saw in this site is mentioned PARC, so there is a resonance to make this kind of question. Leonardo, Plato, Einstein, have something in common, they refused the existing structures, and created new ones. PARC did the same. Revolutionising the world. I am pretty confident, as wannabe polimath that beyond their invention there were analogies taken from other subjects of study, for instance biology physics. But this is not enough, create you need a structure of invariants in a system. Something that has an a-gnostic metaphysic slant. Where a-gnostic become the maximum gnostic socratic significant. Auton Kata Auton, the idea in se and per se, as Plato used to say regarding the word of the ideas. World agenda need solutions for the climate change, to make the world better. I have the feeling that PARC was full of this a-gnostic idea. The focus, the sun, the centrum are powerful concepts, but they become philosophical scalable if we add a 4th dimension of the awareness, a metaphysical one, their self-existence. Internet is self existent, PC is self existent, WYSIYG also, are all of them a meta-representation of the yogi capacity to observe the ongoing reality creating a new consonant dimension. Consonant, maybe this is the k world considering that one of the PARC founder was expert in nuclear resonance. a concept applicable to the analogy, and the higher form of abstract thought, similar distribution around a center
I wouldn't be so quick to jump to the conclusion that they were _actually_ union.
They may very well have been. But companies have a long, proud history of playing VERY dirty tricks in response to unionization.

A former boss of mine once bragged about how he killed a union effort at a previous job. He worked a corporate job for a chain of restaurants that was threatening to unionize. He was given the task of showing up pretending to be a union-affiliated, bafflingly incompetent asshole. He went to individual employees to discuss the "benefits" of joining the union, because in a group he was more likely to be called out by somebody actually union-affiliated.
It is, apparently, the case that creating an environment where a reasonable person would feel surveilled is in violation of the law.

Concrete things that are highlighted as out-of-bounds:

1) Putting a dummy security camera in a breakroom

2) Hiring someone to sit in a car in the company parking lot and pretend to talk into a phone every time someone goes to their car

Given that wide constraint, I can definitely see how "hiring an intelligence analyst who would specifically be tasked with keeping the company high-level leadership informed about labor threats to the company" could be interpreted, reasonable-person-wise, as the company surveilling organized labor. I don't think it's the slam-dunk some are describing it as, but it's, if you will, "a bad look."
> Universality, High Quality, Low Cost. Pick two.

As a person who hired a couple dozen people, and interviewed hundreds, let me correct this: at present it's "pick one", because "quality" is not a real option. My observation is, people who are good at software engineering are often good _in spite of_, and not _thanks to_ whatever their alma mater did. If they just took whatever their school offered and nothing else, they wouldn't know anything other than Java, and they'd suck at Java as well. The quality of CS education is piss poor even in "reputable" schools. People are overpaying for what they get to a rather extreme degree (pun intended).
But is paid attention worth it, wouldn't it end up making you feel hollow once that interaction is over and you realize how made up the whole thing was.

Some workers are happy about some of the things unions championed. Like 5 day work weeks.
I think this is different than the usual case of lonely men. The interactions that take place on these platforms can create the illusion that a person is in a relationship with the content producer. It's similar to the illusory relationships some people have with celebrities but it's much stronger due to the interactivity. It's much more dangerous than a lot of things, though perhaps not as dangerous as hard drugs or crime.

And just because someone is engaging in this kind of activity online rather than going out and committing crime does not we as a society should encourage it. In all likelihood, we may see some of these men have mental breakdowns due to disillusionment and then they can become extremely dangerous. It's these disillusioned, lonely men who are highly vulnerable to joining the incel movement and potentially committing terrorist attacks.
Search, yes, and I need to spend an afternoon to get that working. (From what little I've investigated so far, it seems like it'll be some work to get that to work.)

Indeed. We humans largely create devices that function either through calculation or through physical reaction, relying on the underlying rules of the universe to "do the math" of, say, launching a cannonball and having it follow a consistent arc. The brain combines both at almost every level. It may be fundamentally impossible to emulate a human personality equal to a real one without a physics simulation of a human brain and its chemistry.

A dragonfly brain takes the input from thirty thousand visual receptor cells and uses it to track prey movement using only sixteen neurons. Could we do the same using an equal volume of transistors?

If we're talking about the US I have never heard of such a thing and furthermore other individuals have mentioned in this discussion the Minotaur platform which reuses existing ICBM hardware.

It gets me to wondering: how hard would it be to create computer generated OnlyFans models (actors? performers?) and set up some chat bots to interact with fans?

Even if the chat bot would lack verisimilitude, I can imagine outsourcing the messages to developing countries and adding some tools to let them make quick, cash-generating responses more efficiently.
Extremely confusingly the Ti stands/stood for titan as well, while at the same time Nvidia also released cards with the name "Titan", like the Titan X, Titan Xp, Titan V, Titan RTX etc. When people say "the titans" they may refer to either the "something Ti" cards or the "Titan something" cards.
