No it's not, assuming your database sits outside k8s there's absolutely nothing that needs to be fit inside k8s, a simple machine running docker if needed is more than sufficient.

K8s is such a huge mental overhead that if it's not already naturally in your head because you've had extensive experience (or apparently born geniuses) no one with limited tech budget should ever do this.
I don't know, I personally understood the comment without any problem and wasn't even aware that loose was used instead of lose until it was pointed out. I got the meaning perfectly well from the context. To me these kind of comments pointing out to misspelled words are pedantic at best.
And I take back that they're pronounced the same, I ran it through my head a few sentences and there's a difference at the end but it still does not make any sense and these rules are quite arbitrary and sometimes even contradictory.

Why does lose pronounce the way it does when nose doesn't pronounce as noose, pose doesn't pronounce as poose, lol.. It's even funny if you ask me.

Let the grammar police whip me down with downvotes but I still stand up by my opinion, English is a frigging weird language full of quirks. I speak 4 languages and 2 of them are Latin based and almost never run into the same kind of issues as English. French does not pronounce the way it is written but at least is consistent about it.

And nobody bothered to respond to the original comment other than making pedantic remarks. You've got too much free time on your hands.
I couldn't agree more!

Also in my experience this applies to a lot of other places in Italy as well. Sardinia for example is an absolute marvel end of May, early June, before the summer rush starts kicking into gear.
Yep, price doesn't justify the purchase, but for the "hipster-tax". This is basically a eg-booster.
Same here - on the other hand I'm thinking this would be the perfect type of computer for my kid to inherit from me (if I ever have one of those). It feels like the right format, intentionally hackable, open about how it works etc.

It feels closer to the Ataris' and Amigas' etc that many of use grew up with. Even if it doesn't live up to that kind of flexibility, it's far better than the damage of handing a kid an android or iOS "appliance".
Thank you, I was not aware of that. Can you provide a source for this so I can learn more? I learned the term from the Wikipedia page for overton window, which doesn't mention its use in the spreading of fascism at all[1].

I’m no fiat apologist, but certainly there was poverty before 1971.

People do not want to represent most of them as text.

Some of them need high amounts of compression to be viable. Others don't have any concept of locality that one can map into a single dimension. For some, locality of changes is even an anti-feature.
iOS seems to have a fully functioning HTML5 browser. (:

There's also no iMessage on Android.

Also, Fi support for iPhones is listed as beta, and I don't think there's ever been full support for iPhones on Fi.

Finally, if Apple were to launch a Fi-like offering, I don't think anyone would expect even marginal support for Android devices. This is not to say that you couldn't get service working on Android, just that there would be literally 0 support from Apple for such a use case.
Love the charts, then scroll to the bottom and "oh, Bitcoin".

Sorry but there are other ways. Did you know that the Balanced Budget Amendment (proposal) failed by a single vote in 1995?
Amazed that the site does not call out Nixon completely abandoning the gold standard in 1971. Financial investments thusly did not need to be backed by actual assets anymore, to the point of today where the whole of money is loans against loans against loans.
This shouldn’t be downvoted. As a vegan it is extremely common to be offered fish or cheese. Travelling in China a few years ago, I ordered through a guide a vegan meal and was surprised to find chicken in it! Best to jettison the terms altogether and focus on Whole Food, Plant Based. Can’t argue fish or cheese or chicken meet that definition!
Reminds me of The Expanse. Or countless other science fiction stories involving Earth vs. the colonies (whether they be on Mars, the Moon, or orbitals). Not sure if it's a coincidence that such stories often involve Earth and her colonies ending up in war.
>It’s a new medium, like radio or TV, which also were major sources of misinformation.

>people will put less and less stock into sources of information that have proven faulty in the past.

Do you have any idea of the number of people who inherently trust a 'fact' because it was on a radio or television program?

I'm not sure that your assessment is correct. I think what we're seeing is what we see with TV, there is just less of a way to track it with those stations. - when I buy cable, I get both left and right news stations. I only watch one, but nobody but me knows that. When I use social media, I can access right and left, but everyone can see what I access, and the people who see it can cater their message to me specifically.

Anyway, I think you're wrong. I don't believe people inherently distrust traditional media. I think they distrust traditional media they don't agree with.
Do you spend 20 minutes expounding on HN articles to your friends and family without waiting for a response?
The inflection point in most of these charts happen after 1971, many closer to 1980.
For me a 10x engineer is an engineer who gets the work done, in opposite to the average developer who gets the work not done. Eventually in 2-5 years, but who needs that. Mostly not at all, or with huge cost overruns.

Additionally many developers are costing more than they gain, the 1/10 developer, but more like the negative developer. The ones you need to get rid of, but mostly gather around senior management, CEO and blocking progress and playing politics. They usually are promoted to managers, and that's where the big trouble starts.

Most complicated work is too hard for any normal developer (the 95%), you need to get the developers who can get it done.

It's simply binary, not 10x or rockstar. Either it works or not.
It'd be interesting to see a license that's permissive for non-commercial use and copyleft for commercial use. Or maybe the copyleft kicks in when the commercial derivative work starts earning a certain amount of money. It would be kind of like dual licensing under CC BY-NC and CC BY-SA.

I think it would still count as a free and open source software license, and it would allow small and independent developers to use the software without worrying much about the license, while requiring big companies to release the source of the derivative work.
The Challenge: Teach my phone to find sharks in images without writing any code
I use iCloud photos a ton and my old 128GB Mac's disk is constantly full just from the non-removable thumbnails for iCloud photos, without any actual photos on my local machine.

I've been fighting disk space issues with my Mac for the past five years because I was short-sighted and only got the 128GB disk. This time I went with 1TB, not making that mistake again.

Huh? He released his stuff as open source. That's exactly what other open source users using GPL-style licenses want. Nintendo are the ones not releasing their software as open source. They're the ones using open source without giving back, thus breaking the chain. (Which permissive BSD-style licenses do allow.)

It seems like you're drawing some false equivalence between the open source developer and Nintendo.
Off topic but I noticed your name and wanted to say I am a huge fan of Zen Habits! You are making the world a better place. Thank you!
That's a hard argument to make when even the pros still do this stuff. My point was if the pros have trouble doing it then the volunteers more likely will.

There's also a point that many professional techies would probably not want to work on these kinds of products or websites.
That’s a rosy picture, but I’d point out that atrocities such as Eclipse Rich Client platform and associated OSGi specs are where this plugin concept can lead and it has its own problems! Complexity and discoverability are two!

It would be really interesting if this resulted in a natural A/B experiment, i.e. by comparing the Solomon's with another pacific island group, we could tease apart social phenomena like cohesion, polarisation, distracted parenting etc.

Shit would get real if we could compare two larger nations, Hungary and Poland for example, to see if any negative effects could be reversed.

Of course FB will come up with all manner of excuses why they can't possibly do this, but here is the rub: if their products were actually good for society they should want to do this sort of research.

I think OP is saying that once AMD reaches the dominant market position that they hope some upstart comes in and takes them out of their comfort zone.

There's a difference that's tricky to define. But when we talk about things "that aren't physically present", a good percentage of that talk can be useful to one or more of the participants; though we also do a lot of what the parent is complaining about.

That said, I do know what they mean. I also hate to see people getting almost traumatized by the random crap they find on social media. Especially if it's bullshit - and it's obvious that it's bullshit, but you can't say it, because that would invalidate the other person's feelings. So yesterday, it was "did you know our government wants to XYZ?!?!!" (no, they don't, the news article was lying, as usual). Today it's maltreated pets (could you please unsubscribe from the feeds that trigger you every couple weeks like clockwork?). Tomorrow it'll be a YouTube drama (between a very niche vloggers).

Perhaps it is human nature, perhaps it was also present with the old media. But what seems different is isolation. I remember that before the web became truly mainstream, people would talk a lot about bullshit they've heard on the news. But they would all talk about the same bullshit. People would ultimately take comfort in an understanding that they share the knowledge about the story. Today? Everyone has their own isolated social media feed. So you end up having people unload completely random and unexpected stuff at whoever is willing to listen to them.
Elon says he is working on that
I don't think there was any real picking involved on the part of the parties... Election maps would use red and blue, but that was a very intermittent thing to look at (once every four years for most people; voter turnout in the US was abysmally low, and who knows how many voters actually watched the results with interest). And each network would kinda randomly assign them to each party, without even agreement over which is which from one network to another. And then it finally settled into consistency in 2000.

Won't other species need resources too at some point?
I can only speak for myself. I have Google Fi service. One of the big selling points for me is the dead simple billing. Another huge selling point is trivial unification of calling and messaging across devices.

The latter feature has been enabled by Hangouts up until now. Now, it seems to be equally fulfilled by Messages. I'm not losing other Messages features, as I've never used them. I'll get to keep my unified calling and messaging across devices. I am relatively happy. I'd prefer no change, but it's been clear that Hangouts would go away for some time now.
This is going to be a bit of a problem for me. I've been working on putting together a computer lab for a school on one of the remote Solomon Islands (as in, fly to Honiara, take a small plane to Lata, then charter a boat for a couple days). Our primary contact lives part of the year in Honiara, and Facebook Messenger is his best means of contact, since it works when almost nothing else, including email, does out there.

People underestimate just how good Facebook's network (computer network, not social network) is.
Agree. It also makes for a sql table explosion.
You can probably use almost any marketing email provider for this - I know for a fact Mailchimp has an API integration to push new contacts into an email flow.
Your example proves exactly the opposite of the point you think it does. Every year the flu virus comes back slightly mutated, and the immunity process starts all over again. In the summer the southern hemisphere acts as of reservoir of the virus and vice versa in the winter. This exact process could happen with COVID too. You are right that it does mutate more slowly, but there are upwards of 4 billion people in these countries. A very small number times 1 billion is still a much larger number.
While I'm sympathetic to strong money and therefore explanations like that, it could just as well be that another factor has more explanatory power -- i.e. something else put the US into such dire straits that officials didn't find it feasible to honor the peg.

So, what about the (perhaps too simple) explanation that 1971 is when the developed world finally caught up from the destruction of WWII and investors recognized this? That would mean an end to free wealth for the US, as factor productivity is no longer the highest in the world.
dog-eat-dog is the natural state. Some people like it, other think it's toxic.

You both are clearly a killer material, if not serial killers already!

I on the other hand played Surgeon simulator extensively! So i am definitely qualified to operate on anyone you two might attempt to kill. xD

On a serious note this old old trope 'games make you a X, Y, or Z' is so tired and dis-proven so many times, that I lost hope it will ever go away.

>if someone needs to treat cancer, it doesn't make any good to go to an emergency unit

That's because the ER is meant to stabilize a patient, not cure chronic disease. Which is to my point: people will forgo preventative medicine until their condition deteriorates and they need to be stabilized in an ER. People get their non-emergent conditions treated all the time in American emergency rooms.

E.g., if I have diabetes, an ER will not put me on a long-term treatment plan. But if I ignore my disease until I start having hypoglycemic symptoms an ER will treat me until I am stabilized enough to be released. Is this the best system? Absolutely not, but it's much different than saying "only the rich have access to healthcare".

FWIW, I used to work in healthcare, including redesigning ER processes

Upvote for the pair of you. One for the obscure reference, the other for looking it up and saving me the trouble.
this is completely missing the point, people don't take chronic or slow-developing issues to the ER so they get worse and have catastrophic consequences resulting in both worse health outcomes and more expense because by the time they do come to ER it's a more serious intervention = $$$$
Thanks for the additional context. This is interesting because the has been some worry about the safety of the new and relatively untested mRNA technology, but this makes it seem like traditional vaccines are just that with extra steps. Should that be a license to feel safer about mRNA?

If you have functionally unlimited funds, you can just use them to astroturf, which, as we've seen, can be far more effective than advertising.

Controlling the content is awfully close to "controlling Facebook". Facebook can decide to stop serving your content, but they've shown no interest in doing so.
Typically when someone uses the english idiom, "impose a cost," they are referring to adjusting incentives in a broader economic sense, and not payments.
Software that runs perfectly fine, performs just what I need, and that I already paid for, that has no security implications... and you want me to now start paying monthly for the privilege of using the same software. No thanks.

I know software requires maintenance. When it’s cheaper to buy another computer that runs the old software just fine than paying for “updates” and “improvements” and “bug fixes” that do nothing for me, I think people are going to stop paying for such “updates”.
Right, some people might want to point to a single monetary policy or event but this is a sustained trend of piling on policy after policy. This looks like a "new" ideology showed up and drove policy decisions in a different direction.
Kubernetes honestly isn't that complicated. It's complexity really only scales with the complexity of the system you're running on it. If you're just bringing up a database and a backend on top of it, it's honestly very simple to get running on a single linux box using something like microk8s. And, as a benefit, you can move everything over to EKS or GKE in like a few hours max, if you ever need to scale.
Well the freedoms being taken away in this instance involve throwing certain religious groups into labor camps, so maybe consider the context of the argument.
How do economists measure "productivity", and it is a worthwhile metric? It always seemed super sketchy to me.

I've been learning mandarin for a couple of months and I do something similar.

My girlfriend can speak it so what I do is speak mandarin during our suppertime every day and I have google translate beside me. If there are words I can't say and want to remember later, I star the translation and add it to an Anki deck later on.

I haven't really figured out a lightway way to capture problems with forming whole sentences, though. It kind of breaks the flow the conversation too much if I'm writing down whole sentences.

Do you capture only problems with remembering specific words or also problems with forming whole sentences?
Being mentioned by Nintendo is nice, but they should at least send him a Nintendo Switch as an appreciation. I think that's a decent thing to do, and everyone will appreciate Nintendo for their good will, instead of being just another corporation that takes open-source for granted.
For a product not aimed at developers they spent a lot of time talking about how fast things compile during the M1 launch.

To be fair, his hand was kind of forced. Other countries were already abandoning Bretton Woods, considering it unfair as it gave the US a disproportionate amount of power to manipulate its currency. It's similar to the currency value struggles that have been a major fault line in the EU.
I don’t really care about the points. It was a knee jerk reaction this time because it was literally seconds after I posted that I saw the downvotes(plural).

Rent control/minimum wage impacts was part of my UG thesis and it was mind numbingly boring. And it stole my time. Being dismissed within seconds without engaging ...you know..said prized curiosity on HN...was personal. It is an entirely emotional reaction because this is one of the topics that is personal to me.

HN is supposed to be about the curious spirit...I have been told. Dismissal of comments/post by drive-by downvoting without engaging in a thread is the EXACT OPPOSITE of curiosity, I feel.

Usually I get mildly annoyed and/or brush off downvotes. But since I am constantly seeing the curious spirit of HN being dinned over and over..I am beginning to question..what is the value of a drive-by downvoting mechanism in a forum that values the curious spirit?

> If Google just produced a modern looking phone with top-tier specs and a nice clean Android install with no bloatware and some extra AI smarts, they'd be having trouble keeping up with the demand.

Google had most of that (excluding AI) when they owned Motorola's phone unit. The phones had clean Android, respectable specs, inoffensively designed and very competitive on pricing. Unfortunately, Google had to unbundle Motorola, in part due to anti-trust concerns, as well as Samsung's public and private grumbling about the arrangement (Tizen, and a handful of Windows Mobile phones where promoted as a shot across Google's bow, in the same timeframe).
