I think I understand sentence 2, but the meaning of 1 and 3 elude me!

But I disagree with your last sentence, at least as a generalization. There are legitimately talented, accomplished, capable, and arrogant people all over the place! In fact I'd say a slight majority of talented people are arrogant (say, 60%). That said, there are pretenders who are arrogant without talent, and they "poison the well" for the 60%.

I think this is especially a problem in software, because the field is still "pre-paradigmatic science" (in the Kuhn sense) which means, in part, that there is no great way to measure relative developer capability. The best you can do is examine their history of "finishing hard things" or "solving synthetically hard problems." How fast and well do you learn? What is your intuition about design, about code? Do you actually care about the structure of software enough to have opinions about it?

The biggest problem we face is that the really good developers answer yes to the last question, but then are faced with the dilemma of being forced to dwell in an inferior technology space in order to make a living. Presumably a strong paradigm would reduce this error mode!

If you had ideas around defining that paradigm for software applications, somewhere between the too-abstract Turing machine/Lambda Calculus and the too-concrete "everything is just a string of bits" mental models, would that make you narcissistic? Or just too ignorant to realize that "the best paradigm" is too subjective to define, or illusory, or already discovered (and ignored)?

Was Lavoisier, and the other scientists that converted the practice of alchemy into the practice of chemistry narcissists because they competed with each other for recognition and fame?

> IPv6+EtcD would solve this matter really well.

Like others on this thread I completely agree that k8s networking is over-the-top complex. Still, it is hard to understand how this addresses relatively common use cases like providing intelligent load balancing for clients outside the cluster or secure multitenancy within it.

Solving this requires a step back to think through simplifying networking itself. I thought amazon did the world a favor by removing L2 networking from their model. We need a better set of primitives that abstracts out as much of the low level implementation as possible. The current situation feels like data management before the advent of the relational model.
Correct, kubernetes is a destilation of those 15 years of experience acquired running something else that also has network, storage and compute concepts. I didn't said Google uses kubernetes, though :)

Still, kubernetes makes a wonderful job abstracting all the hard work of using the underlying tools.

Look how simple is to create a ipvs round-robin by just defining a "kind: Service" object, try to do the same using the bare tools in a way that is synchronized across N computers.
I don’t see it as a problem.

First, it reinforces that the cartels are a huge part of life tor real people, not some theoretical issue “somewhere else”. It personifies the issue.

Second, I don’t buy for a moment the idea that it will turn our kids into sicarios. If anything, knowing that world actually exists just under the surface and so nearby should give pause to people who are flirting with the edges of it.
Quite frankly because Microsoft’s management has been a fucking shit show for the last decade. Watch this get abandoned in a couple of years.

Basically their entire methodology is come up with something alpha quality, throw it on the market with lots of marketing fanfare, then shoot random products at will.

It’s not just absence of mentions of actions by other clandestine actors, it’s absence of even acknowledging what kind of world does cia operate in - everybody all the time is engaged in secret operations to advance their agenda. Everybody does that in multiple parallel projects, operated in different capacities with people of varying competency.

Any “storytelling” about single agency or project or a person is incomplete almost to the point of being misleading/disinformational. The legacy of ashes is one such example.

Does it mean one shouldn’t be (allowed) telling those stories? Certainly not. But without actively and profusely apologizing and warning that the story is definitely incomplete and almost certainly incorrect without proper context, which often is unknowable - the value to the consumer is negative.

The producer knowingly or not is acting as a propaganda actor for one or many competing agencies.
WhatsApp (even the Web/"Windows" versions) don't work without a smartphone though, do they?

I know I'm in a minority here, but I don't own a smartphone but still have to use WA to stay in contact with some people. I have to run it using the BlueStacks emulator on my PC. I'd love to replace that with native support for Android.
> What can I _not_ do with Rust, Go, Java ... ?

Trust the language not to be driven by corporate interests, for example by bending it out of shape in future when it suits some needs, or drop it suddenly...

...as it happened a million times with languages and other projects from Google, Oracle, Microsoft.

All evidence indicates that projects that are not tied to a single corporation are more likely to keep their soul and their direction and avoid marketing-based decisions.

The Linux kernel is a good example.
Yeah I hear you there, it’s still got tons of features that will probably go unused.

Of all the things to build instead of find an existing solution for I think static site generator tooling is a great fit, good luck and have fun :)
Both of these taught me that Kubernetes is extremely complex, and that most people who are trying to use it are not prepared for the sheer amount of work that lies between the marketing brochure and the system those brochures promise.

...

GKE SRE taught me that even the foremost Kubernetes experts cannot safely operate Kubernetes at scale.

This is rough to hear coming from a former engineer at a top cloud company which has often lead the way on “marketing brochures”.
WSL1 actually doesn't use the NT subsystem capability like the older Interix/SFU system did. Instead it uses a new feature called "pico processes". See: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/archive/blogs/wsl/pico-proc...
Author complains system is too complicated then laments it needs to add bunch more features that would make it even more complex (particularly mutable pods).

> A modest expansion of the previous section: make each field of an object owned explicitly by a particular control loop. That loop is the only one allowed to write to that field. If no owner is defined, the field is writable by the cluster operator, and nothing else

This is already a thing starting 1.17 i think with server side apply https://kubernetes.io/docs/reference/using-api/server-side-a... (except it’s opt-in)
That's a reasonable possibility. Another could be scent fatigue or perhaps call it scent normalization. That is, for example, if you're (home) burning more candles more often your sense of smell will adjust to that baseline, that norm.

We need more data.

Sigh, another article that completely skips over the Gen-X demographic.

MAYBE at extreme edges of the curve, Baby Boomers begat older Millienials. But at the other end, Gen-Xrs begat young Milleninals and older Gen-Zrs. We exist as a demographic!

Most Gen-Xrs are also still avid Facebook users (I'm not though).

I don't need YouTube to advertise the video, but if I do an exact string search on the title of the video and don't find it, that's suppression.

The content of the video is innocuous. It appears to be a factual recounting of CIA ops with some editorializing. It doesn't present new information or a new opinion.
How to turn $2M into $2T, by Charlie Munger
Why would they do that? What they should really do is a Windows subsystem for macOS, so I don't have to buy a Mac to develop for iOS. That's wishful thinking though of course, Apple would never allow it.
On performance:

Julia really demonstrates the difference between "theoretically fast" and "actually fast in practice". In theory, maybe I could outperform my Julia program in C with careful thought about cache strategies and so forth, the same way I could outperform my C code with hand tuned assembly. In practice, the ability to prepend a 'for' loop with 'Threads.@threads' and suddenly the loop runs in parallel - or the ability to declare an array as type 'cuArray' and suddenly all operations on it run on the GPU - means that it's vastly easier for me to write fast Julia code than fast C code.
He probably means the global bitching about the way nvidia develops their drivers.
You need a salvaged controller from another Tesla, I'm not sure if that's "easy". It's also been patched already, per the article.

And in any case, the exploit here was that the door was opened, something that locksmiths have traditionally been offering as a paid service for decades with no computer hardware at all.

Really, the vulnerability angle isn't so interesting here at all. But it's a cool hack.
Out of curiosity, is it rough hearing that the author felt lied to by the marketing, or that you worked for one of the companies doing it, or something else?
I have the compact g7x mark iii, and its terrible at overheating when shooting 4k. After 4-7 minutes of shooting 4k 24p, it overheats. Its terrible at autofocus, and exposure too. And its not even cheap, $700 latest Canon compact camera. They need to do something about the overheating issues, because much smaller phones don't have these problems. And apple can now do 4k 60p, and colors are pretty good.

I simply find it hard to believe that such a fee would be fair if alternate app stores were available and as capable (as in capabilities allowed by the device) by default.

Even on Android, where it is possible, side loading is a pain and without root the play store has capabilities that cannot be duplicated, I think the fee is only acceptable because of the iOS appstore's fee being the same.
> And at the same time, the buzz around saying "my video is being suppressed" get more views and is even a badge to prove the content "hits where it hurts".

The videos on that channel regularly have hundreds of thousands of views with many videos even having millions of them a long time before it had this "badge" to "get more views" [0].

So while it could be an attempt to utilize the Streisand effect for marketing, I consider that rather unlikely because the channel really doesn't need it and I can't think of a way the creator could force YouTube to reliably delist the video to make it a viable PR tactic.

>without any method of objective measurement [of spiritual superiority]

I guess I disagree with this assertion, then. There is a way to objectively measure your spiritual superiority, and that's to examine the person and where they are, and what direction they are going- wrt their behavior. What are their qualities? Patient? Honest? Hard-working? Organized? Reliable? Easy-going? Empathic? Insightful? Generous? Good judgement? I think that you can't be all of those things (all of which require emotional/reactive control) without your spirituality (and physicality, it must be said) being in good order. And this is all observable.
It's not conflation; she very definitely gets offended if I don't take it, and I won't go into much more detail here.

Your experience with it is just as valid as mine is, and that's as far as I'll take this thread because I don't wish the gatekeep your experience the way you just did mine.
I appreciate his attention to pedagogy. Even small things like noticing that students learn better with Matlab/Octave than with R or Python is the kind of observation that takes a combination of knowledge, effort and caring about teaching.

I think pwagland is referring to when Tesla launched their first car.

In the 1990s there were some CARB-motivated EVs that might do 100 miles and 70mph. Not exactly performance to write home about, and they had all been discontinued (and mostly destroyed) by 2008 when Tesla started selling the Roadster.

Essentially all you could get were golf carts, mobility scooters, and the G-Wiz.

So the idea that "electric cars by their nature are fast" was very much not in evidence at that time. The Tesla Roadster, with 200+ miles of range and a 125mph top speed, was one of the first demonstrations that an electric car didn't have to mean compromising on performance.
So I see the historical NT subsystem story restated all the time and that makes little sense. WSL1 used little (if any?) of the historical NT subsystem concepts and WSL2 even less.

SFU and its successor were, but that was a completely different architecture, never intended for binary compat. The short lived and of limited scope OS/2 subsys was for binary compat, but given the origin and NT and the similarities of some techs it is not surprising. MS-DOS support was way more a low level and VM thing and the bulk of it not that much different from the Dosemu approach.

The classical NT subsys was more of a userspace thing than a kernel space one. And Linux is already way more userspace neutral than the NT kernel is, anyway. You could do a Win compat userspace on top of the Linux syscall if you wanted. Of course it is heavily inspired by Posix, but NT syscall are heavily mapped to Win32.
1. The premise that everyone is benefiting is false. A tremendous amount of people are in industries that are shuttered, communities that are withering, locations that are in decline, or otherwise not 'getting better'.

2. The proper basis for comparison for the iterative generation of wealth and productivity isn't the past, it's the reasonable alternatives at the same time in development.

Imagine you and I start with 100 coins each.

In Scenario A, I take 30 of your coins. Then we fight each other and fritter away 10 coins each. Then our respective coin volume doubles. I end up with 240 coins. You end up with 120. We're both better off than in the past. In total, we have 360 coins.

In Scenario B, I steal all your coins. Without any coins, you can't fight me, so neither of us loses any further coins. Our coin volume doubles. I end up with 400 coins.

In Scenario C, I don't steal your coins and because we're not busy fighting each other, no losses occur. We both end up with 200 coins. In total we have 400 coins.

I think the lesson here is self evident, and that's without raising the fact that growth slows and societies collapse due to wealth disparities. If the simple thought experiment isn't enough and you'd like something a bit more involved, read up on the history and philosophy surrounding our transition away from the feudal system. Our distaste of titled hereditary privilege was very well deserved.
Horne is a clumsy propagandist and you've been thoroughly propagandized.

In this kind of history, all nuance (like Adams' views on slavery) is lost and all historical events are made to fit a predetermined narrative. In addition to being wrong, it's incredibly boring stuff.

That is not fair, kubernetes uses the same existing technology in a well integrated fashion, including firewalling. That is what Network Policy and Service objects gives you.

Communication between pods running across different computers gets encapsulated in another IP packet. This is pretty standard across the industry.
I wish there was a semi-compressed transparent filesystem layer which slowly compresses the least recently used files in the background, and un-compresses files upon use. That way you could store much more mostly unused content than space on the disk, without sacrificing accessibility.
1) Do an ego check - it sounds like you have no problem with your own compensation, you are just ticked that someone else makes more.

2) Start talking about compensation with your manager.

3) Be aware that corporate ratings typically take compensation into account. Making less money and getting high ratings means they like the cost/benefit ratio you give them. Your coworkers who make more but are less skilled probably get worse ratings, and probably will be out the door faster if the company struggles. You will likely join that group if you push for more money. That may still be the right move, but you should be aware of the broader context of such moves.

The YouTube shadow ban is bad enough, but to me the even scarier part comes further down the thread:

> A few months ago I uploaded a video about police brutality. It showed explicit acts of violence by the police, and it was understandably age-gated. The video was appropriate only for older audiences, but did not break any of YouTube's terms and conditions.

> That video earned me a visit from the DHS, who asked me about "Anti-American sentiment" in my videos. That was the first time I realized, wow, I guess people really are monitoring what we say and are willing to try to intimidate us, even if what we say is objectively true.

The video in question is, I suspect, this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pEVoX-RwMJw

To me it's beyond disturbing that this kind of stuff still happens, it's the kind of thing that you'd think went away in the 50's or so.
How is it not simple? Or, how is it not simpler than other languages/ecosystems that could be used for implementing a system like Kubernetes?

You are ignoring the why, though. Person centered feeds simply make us spend more time on them. They are more engaging.

And unfortunately until people start being a lot more conscious about whether this is a good thing, companies with person centered feeds will win in the market. Twitter was going bankrupt before it introduced their recommended feed, now its not.

This will be like smoking. It's great, and cool, and also addictive. People will have to make a decision to stop doing what their emotions tell them to do. I think eventually it will happen, but smoking is still around, most people have smoked a bit in their lives. You just stop eventually because you know its bad for you.

Few companies are going to pay them differently for that effort, so they'll just likely leave. This situation is probably long-term worse for morale because there's no collective sense of accomplishment and instead everyone's betting their stability on one person.

If someone's too far ahead of everyone else in terms of skill (through their own work or talents), they should be given opportunities to find or create a team with similar skills. Just because you happened to join a team with different skill levels does not mean you're now obligated to teach everyone else. It's great when people decide to teach others when there's a large skill gap, but that should be a personal choice.

Monstrosities such as Electron ar the simptom of the problem, not it's solution. Competition in this context means that the end user is free to select any device from any manufacturer, and can expect his applications to run roughly in the same way and with similar performance on comparable hardware, without repurchasing them, without getting locked to a proprietary application store that takes a pound of flesh from the developers etc.

The competition between walled gardens, ex. Apple vs. Android, is not conducive to a consumer friendly outcome, see for example the Windows vs. everybody else competition of the previous era. A single proprietary platform will gain a critical mass and people will orient themselves naturally to the system that can run their applications.

An Android subsystem running on Windows has the chance to be exceptionally close to the hardware and provide a near native experience.
