Note: source for this information is from discussions with DO via support and the kubernetes slack. I am not affiliated with DO in any way.

The downtime issues with DOKS are directly related to the resources allocated to the control plane, which is not set up in a HA capacity. The resources assigned are directly related to the size/number of nodes you use. API-heavy applications can very easy knock out the control plane, and in that situation is takes it a (relatively) long time to recover on it's own (I would typically see ~4hr before it became responsive again).

Their support team is able to modify the master resources for a given cluster (to assist with recovery), but the turn-around time on that shouldn't be considered "production ready".

At this point my advice for DOKS would be:

- Are you using very basic, out-of-the-box Kubernetes to host "apps"? You will probably be fine, but be sure to have a back-up.

- Are you planning to use Operators, or anything that heavily interacts with the kube-api? I would recommend not using it, or over-provisioning your cluster (which would very quickly offset the advantage of the "free" managed masters).

I know that they are working on fixing some of these reliability issues and I have hopes that it will be more stable shortly.

At this time I have a "stable" cluster which (unless their support lied to me) had master resources manually increased by their support team after the 3rd incident of it dying. I haven't had an issue since then.

That's what I was going for :) Now I realize that I should have highlighted that part more on the blog post.
> Is this true? At my last company we wasted a bunch of time every week dealing with the accumulation of ad-hoc changes in different environments creating different behavior.

That is an issue a disciplined one-man operation won't have since (generally) they have a Dev and a Prod environment, the changes would be made in Dev first then duplicated in Prod.

If you have 2+ developers, you have environment drift like you experienced because (generally) Dev is the local environment on the laptop or otherwise a distinct environment for each developer. So now you have 3+ environments you need to sync and then discipline starts to fall apart as you have to communicate every change.
You use hidden fields in the html form to preserve previous values and then compare them in your input validation code server side. You set the default value of input type text and text area to the previous value. If the value was blank before and after you save as null, otherwise you set it to the new value.
I once got on a plane in the UK, feel asleep at the gate before we pushed back, and woke up on wheels down in New York.
I was happy when I found out that my code was used in products by large companies like Disney and Hasselblad, but yet also ashamed because it was the cause of some of their product vulnerabilities and painted their product in a bad light:

The code in question was a primitive mDNS announcement library written in C, which I licensed under the 3-clause BSD license.
I agree this is not how capitalism is supposed to work in the spirit of the version that many democratized nations were sold. But I also agree with another downvoted post, in that this has become the expected behavior. I guess the point is that VC didn’t start this fire, it’s just the latest incarnation of what seems to be the endgame of capitalism. Proponents of capitalism sell a version of it where innovation and efficiency are rewarded through a kind of economic Darwinism where the fittest survive. But it isn’t hard to find examples that show it is capital itself that drives success and allows the unhealthy and unfit to prosper at the expense of superior competitors or even entirely alternative industries.
Why do you think the UK left? The EU is not much more than a regulatory burden to them.
The thing is, there was a lot going on in the 1968-1971 period. Everything from civil rights to the moon landings. The collapse of Bretton Woods is important, but we have to ask why and what pressures led to that point.
This interestingly is similar to having a mindfulness practice, making sure to set your intention to be aware of things in and around yourself, rather than autopilot
Engagement might be higher and therefore more ads to show. I definitely participated in groups quite a lot some time ago. I’ve always used an advertisement blocker but I could imagine I should’ve seen many from how many posts I read. Also, these posts can show up in your news feed where ads are always showing up.

But... the groups I participated in the most usually involved people with differing opinions and thus why engagement was high. Everyone had to argue a lot.

Not sure this is right. I think Trump has actually just demolished norms at such an astonishing rate that the system can't keep up and things that 10 years would have torpedoed a campaign or a presidency now get forgotten in the 24 Hour shitshow that has been the Trump administration. Remember it wasn't that long ago that Howard Dean blew up his entire presidential campaign just by "screaming" at an event.

Not sure why your comment was dead since it's a good question. The answer is with charcoal, which is how it used to be done. It's less efficient (charcoal isn't as strong as coal so the furnaces have to be smaller) but it worked fine in the past. You obviously couldn't have the same steel output using charcoal. In the past places started running out of trees to turn into charcoal which is why they switched to coal in the first place.

it's more like what didn't happen. Between '45-71 Europe and Asia were still rebuilding from WWII, by the seventies they were finally able to compete again.
What happened? Outsourcing happened. The 1970s is when the US went full-bore on the "global economy" and started outsourcing all sort of manufacturing jobs to the east. The gold standard and oil crisis are just easy excuses to distract from the fact we've been outsourcing our middle class for 50 years then acting surprised wages have stagnated. It was an easy way to break unions and drop wages. The story of "those jobs were replaced with tech jobs" is nice to claim, but the numbers don't really add up.

If lack of resources would inevitably make a greater culture why not just wait until we run low on resources here on earth? Kind of sounds like a self solving problem.

The problem is with the information inbalance. Before, a salesman, for example would look at what kind of clothing you were wearing and what segment items you're looking for.

Now let's do a little thought-experiment with the Uber ride and look at the information you and Uber have to make your price and choice on:

For Uber:

- What time is it? +

- Are you far away from home? +

- Have you been here before? -

- What have you paid before? +

- Where do you shop usually? +

- Are you rich? ++

- Are you ill? +

- Are you pregnant? +

- Are you drunk? ++

- Are you very drunk? +++ (bonus!)

- Are you sad? +

- Did you just break up? ++

- Do you have any friends? +/-

- Do you have any friends with cars? -

- Are you alone? +

- Are you going home? +

- Are you already home? -

- probably a lot more...

For you:

- Price?

- How screwed am I if I don't take the ride?

There are not many other options. Maybe a taxi's while they last and Lyft probably has the same algorithm.

Great question; this is what I usually encounter aswell.
It would help if there was an IMDB for everything that everyone used. At least that was my thinking, so I built it: https://theymadethat.com/people/s730px/emmett-shear

If you scroll down, you'll see some of the tools (I assumed) he used.

If you go to one of his projects (Twitch), you can see what he used for it: https://theymadethat.com/projects/7da659d8-629f-5c10-9160-7a...

That in turn should show up in the main product profile, which results in credit being given like IMDB

https://theymadethat.com/things/wz7/twitchtv/show_built_with...

The problems are two fold:

1. It's more work to do than a normal resume since it's project-centric. Also unless you're constantly tracking this, does everyone remember all the libraries they're using? Probably not (There's still a lot of work needed on the UX front. It's not very optimized for mobile)

2. People have to start using it. (I have never marketed my IMDB for everything well enough) See #1
Releasing under a permissive license, then being unhappy about someone using your work—that would be news. Normally this is the desired outcome, and happens all the time (curl is used by a dozen of automobile manufacturers in millions of cars, for example[0]).

What tends to be ignored is attribution, respect to Nintendo for having good internal processes in this regard. If there is any news here, it’s that.

You mean low income inequality, right?

That post WWII era in which the US was pretty much the only developed nation with it's manufacturing capability still intact. That and the GI Bill explain how that era was exceptional - a large number of folks who returned from WWII got free college educations.

> I understand, the P2P layer has moved to lightning layer atop Bitcoin. Works very well.

I can appreciate how off-chain overlays can allow Bitcoin to achieve transactions at scale. What I don't quite get is why this kind of recentralization[1] is good for Bitcoin. It feels like the endgame may be a kind of "worst of both worlds" solution — no longer decentralized, but still not as efficient as centralized solutions.

Unless: Can Bitcoin users prevent off-chain transactions, to avoid Lightning?

hmmm... dropping energy isn't going to help with the big costs families face in terms of health insurance and costs, day care, college costs, or housing.

Thank you for your reply. You might be right about that. I worked in academia before and I absolutely loved it. Maybe that's the style of work for me.

In my defense, I think that was a special case. This was a product to be certified as a medical device. Regulations require keeping records of all changes to the code that can be linked to well-defined "software requirements" and "stakeholder requirements". This can be done in a complex spreadsheet or by linking issues/merge requests in a certain way. I chose the issues. Also, as the product might affect health outcomes, I felt responsibility to make the product as solid and maintainable as possible.
> Programming is no longer a community. It's a competition.

Programming is no longer an engineering job. It's no longer a form of art. It's this race to the bottom where you have to mindlessly glue together as many libraries as it would take to write as little of your own code as possible, treating said libraries as black boxes.
Yes, I first read those as (null=True, blank=True) because I've never written out those arguments when their default is False. So for me writing them out explicitly with their defaults is an anti-pattern.
Basically, all economic data is sketchy. One of the main reasons is that you must adjust historical data for inflation but it's simply impossible to measure inflation objectively.
One might argue that the boon of fossil fuels was actually the cause of a lot of chaos and war since the technological change it enabled was so rapid and norms around war took a long time to catch up. Millions of young people from all over Europe went into the First World War with their heads full of ideas about bravery and daring and adventure only to get thrown into a vast industrial meat grinder. The Second World War was mostly caused by the aftershocks of the first. Maybe if things had progressed more slowly, we could have avoided the upheaval.
> I'm with Musk on this, the only way we survive is to get the hell off Earth.

The problem with this line of thinking is is that when people say "we" they don't really mean it in "the human kind" sense. Because that's either logistically impossible, or if it's not, you get to leave with the same people that want "bigger, better" and they'll ruin it for everyone else.

So educating these people should come first no matter which scenario humanity pursues.
I think there's room for some middle ground here. There are two examples I can think of that demonstrate this middle ground (although I can't remember the names of either game).

In game 1, there was a scene where you had infiltrated a terrorist cell as an undercover agent, and were accompanying them in an attack on an airport. You were involved in this massacre of innocent people, and you could choose to either participate in the shooting or not. It was very controversial but I think it was an interesting psychological experiment to play on players.

In the second case, another war-type game, you were a general who had to make a call whether to use white phosphorous bombs against a group of enemies. After it was over, you have to walk through the scene and see up close the destruction and horror that you inflicted.

Both of those, I think, are interesting ways to engage with evil, because they both prompted thought. I don't see any evidence that Panzer has any depth or thought in their treatment of this dilemma.
Their GPU _is_ imagination's GPU in my opinion. Heavily customised (they had a full ARM-like license to do so) but the fundamentals are all the same. Apple claimed that they'd completely reinvented a GPU that didn't rely on any hardware IP owned by IMG whatsoever, provided no evidence of that and recent phones have bug-for-bug compatibility (as far as I heard form a friend who ran some tests).

I can't tell you 100% that it's not an entirely new GPU that was somehow completely reinvented from scratch but I can tell you I think that's highly unlikely.

Imagination couldn't protect their IP because they couldn't afford the lengthily court case that would ensue.

Note by the way Apple have quietly started licensing IP from IMG again, long after striking ~75% off the stock price and resulting in them being acquired by a private equity firm...
Not sure what the "income growth" chart actually means, but if both bottom 90% and top 1% income, although by very different tracks, grew by about 3x in 1917-2012, then something is wrong. Because real GDP per capita grew 7.43x [1]. Logically the percentiles between 1% and 10% from top don't matter all that much, and in any case they must be in between top 1% and bottom 90% -> arrive to about same result although by some middle sort of track.

Any explanation? That chart seems to be a gross misinterpretation of something. Proportion of income in GDP could have only increased since, maybe income of the rich, but still. Where did the 2.5x difference in growth rates come from?

Harvard Doctor's Response to Elon Musk Is a Master Class in EQ
You shouldn't be surprised to discover that the definition of "when" and "area" can be very flexible to maximize data collection. Car break in happened 6 months ago - good enough justify a crime having occurred. The break-in was 20 miles away? Well, that's driving distance, so it qualifies as the same "area".

Look at your local PD's crime map and you will discover that this is a recipe for perpetual mass surveillance. Good luck keeping this footage from the NSA and FBI. I'm counting down the days to the first person who'll be busted and their Ring will be the first hostile "witness"

Back then no one was running mission critical enterprise software from typings in magazines.

Depends on the mission. Plenty of businesses relied on type-in programs for their day-to-day survival.

Today the term "mission critical" is a victim of scope creep and people trying to inflate their positions.
This is pretty much it. We saw from the Arab Spring that Twitter can start a revolution. Whether you need it or not, whether it improves matters or not. Everyone claims to be some sort of insurgent now.

Historically, before this liberation event (and it's not the only one) women's ratio in the work force variated greatly especially during war times when a lot of women were encouraged to work outside of the households. I remember the term "reservist work force" from history class.
Trade with China also opened at around the same time. A plausible explanation for the decoupling of wage growth is competition or the threat of competition with international labor.

The company is giving him something, which is a huge vote of approval to his library. "You ship it, you own it" means Nintendo just said, "This guys code is Nintendo-handheld quality code!" Big endorsement. And literally no-one in the world knows more about that code than him.

Last but not least is just the feeling that your code is running in so many places! What a feeling of accomplishment. Over a career, you start to think more and more about what code you have running in the world. Where it used to run. Where you'd like it to run.

That's a pretty satisfying feeling, and it also makes him one of the few bona fide people in the world at whom you can throw money to fix (or change) the library.
There's not really a universal definition of unicorn. At its origin and most basic it was just a private company over 1 billion in valuation. Since then, various sources have tried to amend it so that its "private startups" but there's not really a good definition of startup either.
Morris Berman's Dark Ages America posits that the U.S. leaving the Bretton Woods agreement (of which devaluation relative to gold was one aspect) was the policy change desired by finance capitalism. Bretton Woods had restricted international capital flows and let nations restrain some abuses of financial power. In effect it made it easier for countries to set up welfare states if that's what they wanted. Afterwards, without these restraints, the top few percent in wealth were better able to use their money to make more money. The FIRE (finance, insurance, real estate) economy grew relative to the ordinary industrial, commerce, and service economy, in which lower- and middle-income people worked. Hence the growing inequality and relative impoverishment. I believe Berman says the discipline imposed by the semi-gold standard was only part of the reasons for prosperity from 1947-1970s. And for the big economic changes afterwards. Restraining abuses of globalism and financial capitalism were also important.
Quite some time ago, Tesla introduced the "pin to drive" feature, where you can set up a pin required to drive the car. So thieves might get into the car but without the pin, they can't drive even in the presence of the correct keys.
It's not a matter of design. We can look downwards and work in many positions, yes. However, is it healthy to work this way on a regular basis? I doubt it, but I am open to seeing evidence. I know that for me, it is not a good position; it will cause me back, neck and shoulder pain, and headaches if I work that way.

Anecdotally, I know many avid readers that have developed forward head posture and various pains from their habit.
