> huge number of immature people of similar age

Not just that, but they’re also actively isolated from people who aren’t of similar age. Teenagers (who don’t happen to have an older sibling) go through the identity-crisis period of puberty entirely without role-models to, well, model. Other than the made-up, exaggerated ones they see in TV shows.

It’s no wonder the adopted behaviour of most teenagers feels instead like some sort of cargo-culting of adult behavior, rather than a gradual acquisition of actual maturity; and no wonder that it’s such a mental shock for many teenagers when they either enter college or the working world, and so get exposed to non-age-segregated collaborative settings for the first time.

When SCO v. IBM was going on, Groklaw was the first web site I'd visit pretty much every day, right after waking up.

Fo all of us Linux geeks back then, PJ provided an extraordinarily amazing service to the open-source community. Most of us would not have known about or understood all the happenings of the case if it weren't for Groklaw. PJ's contributions to the Linux community back then simply cannot be overstated.

(For some reason, I want to say that it was PJ who first broke the news that Microsoft was providing "financial support" to SCO -- who was basically bankrupt by that point! -- during the lawsuit, but I'm almost certainly wrong about that. Of course, Microsoft tried to downplay their involvement and there are still many folks today who aren't aware of Microsoft's "collusion" with SCO.)

What you describe is just poor city planning. Parks are put in places where they aren’t getting used sufficiently in kind of odd corners of the city where they get taken over by vagrant. In areas where parks are properly located and designed vagrants tend to be pushed out because residents use the space and put pressure on officials to keep it clean. As soon as that pressure comes off though the space becomes lost.

It’s also very important not to provide services in areas near parks. The local library had a nice playground where the kids would do Easter egg hunts and play during the farmers market. During the pandemic they extended their wifi to cover the park and bam tents popped up and the space was lost. The entire block became unsafe. Then some do gooders showed up and started feeding the campers and bam now the entire area is wall to wall tents and they are overflowing to adjacent areas.

Pod scheduling is based on Requests so you can definitely go without setting a limit. I don't think the limit itself plays a role in Kubernetes scheduling (unless you don't specify a request, then limit equals request).

And you are definitely right: scheduling a pod without request/limit is like giving a blank check.

I really dislike that the solutions for AWS tag shortcomings is custom code.

I'm a big AWS fan and heavy user for 5 years now, but it seems silly to me that you need to write a custom wrapper (e.g. force the creation through a managed script/template like Terraform/Ansible/CF)... Or write reactionary cloud trail policies to handle a situation where someone launches an EC2 instance without providing a specific tag.

The fact IAM policies still can't deny requests missing a tag, or deny requests by tag-value condition seems silly to me... Or one step further: allowing some auto-populated tags like what principle was responsible for making the instance in the first place.
That's strange. I would assume 7200rpm drive would be costly to produce compared to 5400rpm. What possible reason could they have to falsely advertising which could be a loss.

If more computer scientists studied language then we'd see better-written CS papers. It would benefit the authors too: research is more valuable when you can communicate it clearly, so people are more likely to cite a well-written paper. I think Dijkstra's fame is as much a consequence of his excellent writing as his research.
The issue is that, from what I can tell, the authors just used R to analyze some data, with no explicit parallelism. You would do a better job just renting time on AWS, saving money for everybody.

I’m wondering if using a bursty limit like

requests:
cpu: 100m
limits:
cpu: 200m

Would work better? If the problem is that you are getting throttled at a lower rate than your specified limit, maybe bumping that would help. But you still get to use your target “request” for bin packing / node resource tracking.

This would depend on the throttle level being proportional to the specified limit and not something orthogonal like number of processes - but if you don’t want to turn off limits entirely it might at least help.

I'm not in favor of removing qualified immunity because I have former classmates who are police officers and some of them work in places where they are constantly dealing with violent crime and they occasionally have to things that appear criminal but aren't. They have to spend weeks justifying why they made certain decisions and if they have a pattern of behavior they will lose their jobs. If you speak to really good police officers in an environment where they don't have to worry about retaliation they will tell you directly they don't trust most of the police force where they work. Some of them are more afraid of their co-workers than the people they encounter on the street.
I think you could question people's desire to save endangered species in much the same way. Ultimately I think it comes down to the fact that languages (and species) are seen as intrinsically valuable to some extent and the world is just a sadder place without that richness. Language isn't the whole of culture but it's a big part of it, and it seems to me that if culture is worth preservation then so is language. I can't really deny that from an ultra-rational perspective it'd probably be more efficient, in some sense, to have a world monoculture; heck, the world might even be a much more peaceful place---but I still just don't want it.

If there are several services all with the same share of CPU resources and with no configured limits, and they are all runnable, then none of them will be able to starve the others. The kernel will schedule them each in turn.

If you configure a static limit what you get is services that don't run even when there is CPU time available, which is bad.

A very similar trend shows up in poetry fairly often across many cultures.

Adherence to a strict form, like a sonnet, breeds creativity because of the constraint. (a little known fact is that e.e. cummings wrote more than a few very good ones)

Much earlier in time, scops and skalds -- the epic oral poets of anglo-saxon and norse cultures -- were renowned not so much for their ability to come up with new things as such, but by how cunningly they could weave together stock phrases and allusions to speak to the current moment.

Parallels to the midrashic traditions should be fairly obvious.

You see it in greek epic poetry too: the opening invocation of The Odyssey ends with "tell the old story / for our modern times".

> spend quite a lot of time explaining dinosaurs really poorly only to never return to clear that up

I wonder about this type of thing a lot when I think of my experience in school. a lot of the material they taught me in lower and middle school was just wrong. not like subtly wrong, but blatantly incorrect in a way that would be obvious to any undergrad major in that subject (which schoolteachers often are). I'm sure the teachers must have realized too. why spend so much time teaching stuff that needs to be unlearned as early as high school?

the best example I can think of right now is the answer to "why is the sky blue?". my lower school science teacher told us it was reflecting the ocean. I'm sure she realized this answer didn't make any sense, but that's what she taught us. I don't expect teachers to try to explain raleigh scattering to a group of third graders, but wouldn't it be better just not to explain it at all?
> How can any patriotic American read something like this and not at least start to wonder what happened to this country?

This is an interesting idea. The two people who come to my mind are Bob Dylan and Pablo Picasso, both of whom are considered the "top" of their fields, but neither of which could be considered especially original.

Dylan initially rose to fame by rewriting old folk songs and gospel hymns, emulating a lot of Beat poetry (Kerouac/Ginsburg), and then doing a similar thing across genres like rock and blues. Picasso also famously drifted between styles. "Lesser artists borrow; great artists steal".
> theories are still a purely human domain.

Why do you believe that?

Theories are attempts to explain the mechanism of something based on the observed data. Given data on patient symptoms and known drugs (ACE inhibitors in this case) and their effects, a computer could easily produce a theory that the disease acted like ACE inhibitors. It'd still take a human to write the program to generate these theories, but a computer could do it.

Ethically, no. But at the nation state level, it’s hard to escape the conclusion that countries care much more about protecting territory than people, especially people in far away places. That’s both the story of colonialism, and the story of countries standing by and doing nothing during various genocides in the 19th and 20th century.

So yes, I would absolutely expect countries to respond differently to the invasion of Ukraine than Iraq. Same as how countries have reacted quite differently to Russia’s behavior in Ukraine than in Syria.

If indeed the vitamin proves effective at reducing the severity of bradykinin storms, it could be an easy, relatively safe way to reduce the severity of the virus.

> Language is not equivalent to culture

You are so, so wrong about that. Let me guess: you didn't grow up in Europe, did you?

A language IS part of a culture. I'm from Italy, where dialects of various regions have distinctive characteristics that are tied to the history and the uniqueness of these regions.

An example?

A great Sicilian writer, Leonardo Sciascia, wrote "The Day of the Owl", which is a book about Mafia, written in the late 1950s, in a period where the Mafia's existence was questioned and uncertain, in popular culture [0].

He talks (in Italian, not in Sicilian) about the five stages of being a man, from best to worst:

"gli uomini, i mezz'uomini, gli ominicchi, i (con rispetto parlando) pigliainculo e i quaquaraquà"

"men, half-men, little-men, (speaking with respect) the take-it-in-the-ass, the blah-blah-blah".

The fourth type, the "take-it-in-the-ass", is a distinct Sicilian word, and can only be fully understood if you take into account Sicilian culture at that time, which had a specific view on homosexuality, in a distinct way compared to the general view you would have in other parts of South Italy.

And the Sicilian language has everything to do with it.

Now, tell me: is the Sicilian language [1] worth preserving?

I say so.
