Managed k8s offerings usually take care of everything below the k8s API. Our GKEs auto-upgrade their control plane and the worker nodes, both OS and k8s versions. I could force my way onto the workers via SSH if I really wanted to, but by default I can't even get on those machines. All you ever do yourself is kubectl this, kubectl that. I believe DO's k8s offering is like that as well.

I remember many years ago when I first moved to Asia, people looked at me wide-eyed whenever I took medicine with orange juice or a can of soda.

I dismissed it as some urban legend on the level of the fan-death [1] until a doctor explained to me the adverse interactions of citrus fruits on all sorts of medicine.

I have been taking my medicine diligently with water ever since, but it still amazes me how incredibly different the distribution of such common and potentially life-saving medical knowledge can be across countries and cultures.

You are missing his age. He is not a grown up who could graps the whole complexity of the task. He can see what he have done, but he is unable to grasp what others did to make his achievement possible. Such an inability would be worrying for me, if he was older -- 20 years old, or even 16-18 years old. But for 13 yo kid it is absolutely normal. Cognitive limitations he shows are only to be expected. There is no reason to grumble about society degrading to a hell.

I know service workers are used for PWAs and notifications, among other uses.

There's an internal webpage in most browsers that shows you what service workers you have installed (Firefox: "about:serviceworkers"). The answer is a lot, because every web page you visit can install one without your permission. They seem like small javascript applets, and I'm not sure under what conditions they are allowed to run. I am afraid they could be allowed to run even when you are not visiting the page, and since I have no interest in PWAs or notifications I just disabled service workers entirely. You can do that in about:config.

> I'm pretty sure it's not legally possible

Legality wasn't really an issue for authorities in Germany before, even if it contradicted our basic law. Of course it was for national security. It is my goto excuse too if I break any laws.

There is a lot of room between paranoia and being extremely naive in context of state powers.

> Secondly I just don't say anything in my home that's super secret

Then why would the state need capabilities to get this not super secret data?

I honestly expected more from Germany in this regard, especially with the experience of the past.
I think this is great. The reality is that we live in the era of 'big government'. Until we have figured out a solution to make government smaller without causing poverty to skyrocket, then we have to assume that the government is going to be running the show; as such, it needs to ensure the well-being of all its stakeholders (citizens) and it needs to treat all of its citizens equally.

The government should have full permission to break up companies that it sees as too big. It should also have the power to shut down corporations at will (in the same way that corporations can shut down internal projects that don't align with shareholder incentives).

The government needs to rise up and take ownership of the economy. We live in crony-capitalism and in this system, it's better to put power in the hands of the government where the cronyism is more evenly distributed and is subjected to the necessary checks and balances.
My grandfather used to eat grapefruit every day, but had to give it up when he was prescribed Warfarin (a blood thinner). Ironically it seems that it would have been just fine for him to continue so long as he stuck to religiously eating grapefruit every day. He would have needed a substantially lower dose of the drug, but Warfarin is one where you adjust the dose a lot for each patient anyway: the manufacturer recommends starting with 6mg and ending up anywhere from 0.5 to 10mg depending on the patient's response [0].

He was also hospitalised several times, both for his heart problems and stomach cancer. I wonder if hospitals keep grapefruit on hand for patients like this, or if they ban it altogether.

Kids should be taught programming when they express an interest, and when their brain is ready which in my non-facts based opinion is 11-13 years old.

Trying to make kids learn programming without them being interested is about the parent wanting their children to be like them.

Probably too much work to do in that context but QR codes solve that by having multiple possible XOR patterns and choosing the one that generates the best output.
Equality is also needed if you want to know whether "x<y".

Proof: 1) suppose you can decide whether "x<y" for all x,y. 2) Then, for all x,y you can decide whether x==y because that's just "!(x<y) && !(y<x)"
Being a little pedantic, the drug interactions part of the article applies to bitter citrus specifically: not just grapefruit (despite the title!), but not all citrus either. Typically “orange” is used to refer to sweet oranges, not sour oranges.

IDK. Personally I think it's silly to romanticise and wax lyrical about what are - when it comes down to it - errors in the data; artefacts of the crudeness of the technology that was available when the material was created. Do we routinely add errors of this type to modern footage? No. Why not? Because they detract from the material.

The material is already hugely compromised as a historical document of the reality on the day the events were captured. Let's not put it on a pedestal. For example, if we remove the effect of hand-cranking on film to make it more watchable, are we destroying or enhancing? I would argue the latter. The hand-cranking adds little of value.
I did my dishes by hand for years after moving out; on my own, it was just once a week, took about 20-30 minutes.

Now I own a house and have a small (3 person, 4 animal) household, and the thing runs daily. To me it makes a ton of difference; to the family I wouldn't be able to rely on the others, because the one is a teenage child and the other has debilitating joint problems.

I'd rather load / run / unload the thing every day than do things by hand again.

I agree that this isn't an ideal user experience. On the other hand, recompiling libinput in 2020 takes about as much time as taking out a credit card from your wallet and paying for another closed source macOS app.

I just timed myself doing it on a fresh vagrant VM, and it took me less than two minutes. One full minute was downloading and installing build dependencies, and that would normally be a few seconds as most people already have gcc.

The steps I took were:

sudo apt build-dep libinput
sudo apt install fakeroot
apt source libinput
cd libinput-1.12.6/
grep -r tp_detect
vim src/evdev-mt-touchpad.c
dpkg-buildpackage -b
sudo dpkg -i -O ../libinput*.deb

Oh and I'm tempted to argue that this is, in fact, a user experience we deserve. ThinkPads are used by many developers worldwide. Most of my friends at Red Hat have it. Last time I could check (2011), Google gave developers ThinkPads with Linux as one of the options. Any single one of us could have fixed this bug in one day, and then spend maybe another full day communicating with Peter to get the fix in shape and merged. Yet it still isn't fixed.

Free software often is free as in beer, but the real point is that we can, and we should, participate. Throwing money through GitHub Sponsors is one option, but often the best way is to just roll your sleeves up and do the work.

On top of that, he's largely (only?) able to do this because his parents have the resources and disposable income to drop $10,000[1] on their son's project and awareness/ability to consult with experts[2]. That's not to say that his interest in hacking on nuclear fusion wasn't also a factor here -- obviously it was, but if that's all he had he wouldn't have gotten very far.

One wonders how many kids swallowed up by poor, resource-starved neighborhoods would have been able to achieve similar feats given more access and resources. Kids generally have nothing but time -- so yeah, if you finance their projects and give them your support and an environment conducive to focusing on hacking on fusion reactors, or becoming chess or math or music prodigies, or whatever, they'll tend to do that. And likewise if you give them an environment conducive to trauma, financial stress, and poverty, well, that's what they'll tend towards.

There are exceptions in both cases -- I'm sure many of us can think of people who came from wealth and ultimately didn't amount to much, and some of the most brilliant and accomplished people I know came from abject poverty. My point is that wealth and resources makes stuff easier -- or even possible in the first place.

> Building the nuclear fusion reactor was no game for Jackson. He converted an old playroom in his Memphis home into a functioning lab. With the financial support of his parents – he spent between $8,000 and $10,000 over the course of a year collecting the parts he needed to build his nuclear fusion reactor – that was apparently the easy part.

[2]

> Jackson’s father, Chris Oswalt, had no real understanding of what his son was working on. To make sure Jackson was safe he had experts speak to him about the dangers involved with working on a potentially deadly fusion reactor, like being exposed to high levels of radiation or being electrocuted by the 50,000 volts of electricity he uses to warm the fusion reactor’s plasma core.

If you lool at it from a perspective of winning/loosing/fair/unfair you are probably right. If you look on the total effect of society then probably not. I mean to have competetive companies you need people who have worked(or played) their ass off and achieved skills and knowledge which only the mixture of privilege, work and skills can achieve. You actually want to give the smart kids extra tuition, because mostly these people will innovate later.

There is also a funny effect which is driving Python to be the most "popular" language. Someone will post a job advert for e.g. Java, and list Python as being one of the "nice to have" languages, either due to machine learning, devops, or just because it's nice to know a scripting language. Python is currently the nice to have language. So you see it on the list of hot languages, but in fact there are not all that many Python jobs, they are all actually e.g. Java jobs.
TFA says it increases the bioavailability of felodipine, the drug where the effect was first noticed, by about a factor of 5. For most prescription drugs for chronic illness, you probably do not want to find out what happens when you move to 5x the effective dose.
Agreed. I'm far south and therefore nowhere near London and this is what I'm seeing. If you are in specific fields, some companies are paying £70-80k+, but you need to have proven skills in the fields they are looking for.

The other thing to take in to account with the US figures - taxation. I believe the US tax system taxes the individual directly, where as in the UK we are generally PAYE and taxed at the point we are paid our salary. Maybe someone in the US can confirm that?

Assuming you can keep your customer queue sufficient at all times, and that your clients can come when you are open.

Most likely this means a location that already has a high throughput of potential customers and that also most likely means a place that has high rents.

Sure, if you already have a place, like an extra room in your house, and you manage to establish yourself on the area. But even then you might find out that your first client wants to come in at 7 or 8 am, to get ready for whatever work thing they have that day, and the last client wants to come in at 8 pm, because they can’t earlier.

Look at Schwarzenegger, and how frequently he keeps saying that he only got to where he is because of help from other people - nothing that you do is ever only your own accomplishment.

Using "it doesn't work" as an argument is a losing battle. If you even manage to convince people of that, best case they'll still be in favour "just in case it does work".

The actual, real point is that they're underestimating the downsides or surveillance, and that even if it would work, it would still not be worth it. That's the only argument that can hold, and the actual reason we're against it.
'Smart people tend to make good parents. This is unfair'

I'm not sure what actions you expect society to make to address this.

Should smart people deliberately not be good parents so that social justice can prevail in a world full of not-so-smart people?

Should not-so-smart people just not have children so society can be smarter as a whole?

RE Apple: "...Apple has used its control over the App Store to punish rivals, including by ranking them lower in search results, restricting how they communicate with customers, and removing them outright from the store. Apple is the sole enforcer of sometimes opaque App Store rules, leaving developers few options to complain.

Apple favors its own apps and services on its devices by pre-installing them and making them the default options for a variety of actions. For instance, when iPhone users click a link to a webpage, a song or an address, their devices will typically open Apple apps. Such an advantage, combined with the services’ deep integration into Apple’s software, makes it difficult for third-party apps and services to compete."
wonder if its legal for it to say that
Well of course. As American citizens, its up to you to decide whom you wish have in your country. Its entirely acceptable even if you say one no should be allowed. I definitely won't make point on the lines of 'immigrants built America', its your decision. Nor am I saying that its the job of the US government to improve the lives of people over the globe. Though I believe even without others asking for it, or their consent, Americans are more than happy 'spreading democracy all over the world'.

But you can't stop any one living the way they want. There will always be people who will run/swim the extra miles, lift the extra weights, study the extra hours, eat ramen, do more than one job, walk/sleep in the cold, do the side gigs, moonlight their companies in garages. This is not slavery or anything. Slavery is stripping away people's rights without their consent, under the threat of violence. This just people wanting an edge over other humans. And regardless how you wish to live your life, there will always be people looking for that edge.

Lastly, I don't thing anyone living their life any way effects your standard of living. Your wages and compensation are decided based on how much effort your willing to put to get into a FANG. People who are willing to do that already make lots of money in a place like Bay Area.

The best thing about America, is the society goes lots of distance and makes it easy for people to do anything they want. So that at the end of the you are left with your own choice to make whatever life you want to. No immigrant is coming in your way of 'pursuit of happiness'

If you want to earn more money and want to know what's preventing you from getting it, you only have to look at the mirror.
Git remotes is certainly not "easier to implement". You need to have ssh infrastructure setup to receive the repository, deal with key management, provide the user some way to input ssh keys, etc. Contrast that with GitHub web hooks + API and I can see why they didn't bother.

I've dabbled in Elixir for quite a lot over the past few years, and I have to agree with the general trail of thought you're showing. If I have a question about Elixir, I don't even think about going to StackOverflow for it. I either go ask on ElixirForum, or Google for my problem (which, in most cases, lands me to an ElixirForum thread rather than a StackOverflow one). I think the surge in the use of ElixirForum is inversely correlated with the use of StackOverflow: the more the forum has grown, the less reason there has been to use SO.

I do worry about the impact it has on these "popularity tracking" services though, since the discussion living elsewhere might (falsely?) indicate that the language isn't attracting developers.
