> If your help text is long, pipe it through a pager.

I disagree that this is a good practice. This prevents me from using my terminal's scrollback to read and/or copy the text. If it comes up in a pager, I either have to re-run the help command every time I want to read it (super annoying when I'm trying to build a command line!) or open yet another window on my screen. And depending on the terminal, this might overwrite a part of the scrollback buffer I had important context in.

If I want to page the help output, I will pipe it to a pager myself.

If the help text is really so unreasonably long that it's unsuitable for --help, hide it behind some other option that --help points me to.

Git does this (effectively treating "-h" the way every other CLI treats "--help", and "--help" as a request to open a man page), and it's incredibly annoying, because no other CLI I use works this way, so it screws up my muscle memory in a way that impacts both my usage of Git and of everything else.
I just want to make absolute sure that this is NOT the case. Does this mean that docker images built with `docker build` and pushed up to dockerhub will no longer be useable in kubernetes or not?
Beyond Vim and Emacs: A Scalable UI Paradigm [video]
I was just discussing tree farm economics with the guy who runs the farm we bought from this year. Our normal place was closed this year, and he told me a number of his local competitors only opened for one weekend. The trees this year we’re on the short side because of supply issues from the previous years.
This is like saying: "Opinions differ substantially as to whether man-made climate change is real". Yes, opinions differ, but when all mainstream scientists agree that deflation is bad, saying that "opinions differ" is quite misleading.
These are great questions. Here are my thoughts / answers:

> 1. Is there a reason this is tied to the blockchain

For FB, you're 100% right. FB could have likely just used a relational DB in the short term. However, if you don't want to tie this to a single company (your second question), then a blockchain does make it easier for multiple entities to agree on the state of the db. I would argue that modern Proof of Stake protocols are starting to be competitive with Proof of Work in terms of security, in large part because unlike Proof of Work, they allow for both positive _and_ negative incentives for incentivizing behavior. For example, we've yet to see the types of double spend attacks on newer PoS chains (e.g. Cosmos) like the ones we saw on Ethereum Classic a few years ago.

> 2. Is there a reason this would be tied to a company

No, and in fact, this is what makes most permissionless blockchains so valuable. The problem is that most of them are not useable enough for what Facebook wants to accomplish. I say most because, in my view, Celo (https://celo.org and https://valoraapp.com) does. It's permissionless, programable, highly scalable, has a built in stablecoin and identity protocol, and most importantly, uses new zk-SNARK cryptography to let mobile apps sync trustlessly and near instantly. It also offsets 100% of its carbon emissions by buying carbon credits using block rewards.

> 3. Why a "new currency" ("stablecoin")?

I agree 100% and already the market is starting to tell us that USD pegged stablecoins are the most interesting of stablecoins.

> 4. I'm sure there are many issues with fraud/reversible transactions/KYC/anti-terrorism/anti-money-laundering that would need to be resolved somehow

Yes! This is an interesting read on the topic: https://www.coincenter.org/how-i-learned-to-stop-worrying-an...
My plan is that the geometric algebra operations will be generic in Rust like they are in maths, but application code will be more concrete, using type aliases for points, rotations, etc. So the programmer can choose to be as abstract or specific as they want, depending on what makes sense in a particular situation. For example, if I have something like a polyhedron, I'll declare that as an array of points. A function for something like intersecting a line with a face (raytracing) will be generic internally but have a more concrete signature.

I don't yet know how well this will work in practice :-)
GA means general availability. This usually means the first release containing new features, excluding beta releases. It is intended for mainstream consumption and more stable than beta. Maintenance releases come next. They fix bugs in features but generally don’t release new features.

Of course, such nomenclature and how strictly it’s adhered to varies from project to project.
Hey there. Author of the article here. I'm no longer a Red Hatter and my words are strictly my own.

Private repo host...because whatever they charge, it is cheaper than using an FTE to maintain it internally unless you want a flaky internal SLA.

I use it as a private repo host. The cost is a no-brainer. We'd probably pay 2x or 3x more compared to the value we're getting. The independence from the Cloud services (ECR, ACR, GCR) makes it a better option. Also, for now, there isnt any funny-math on multi-factor egress costs -- which become tricky to compute in real life.

We use it for containers to be run on k8s. As long as there are not super-low latency requirements for startup, I'd prefer an independent single private repo over multiple in-zone repos.

"Doctors see these symptoms many times every day"
Thats why it's called a syndrome - no one positive indicator.

The possibilities of it being crickets or mass hysteria have been put forward before. The authors obviously decided these explanations didn't fit the clinical observations, and I suspect they're thorough enough to consider that they're looking at nothing.

It's fair to invoke Occam's razor if you need an immediate hard conclusion but there's no reason for experts to not explore this and state what they're finding. The problem is when there are so many non-experts with limited information jumping to the conclusion that this must be nothing but a drum beat-up to war because of the conspiracy amongst warmongers for which there is also no proof.

If it is due to some weapon, the operation would be designed to be unattributable. And if it could be attributed no one is going to tip their hand as to their capability of finding out. So we're unlikely to get solid proof for any of this and need to follow up on plausible explanations. I said that microwaves are a one, not saying other explanations aren't also. And I'm not rushing to conclusions.
Docker was always about making it easy for developers to build isolated applications. Kubernetes was about making it easy for cloud providers to support deploying these isolated applications in their systems. A lot of organizations tried to support docker swarm (or their own versions of an "ocean" of containers) but it was just too difficult, the products failed and/or were unreliable and docker didn't provide a toolkit to do this better. When they tried kubernetes, it worked (probably because kubernetes creators had experience from running an actual production system before viz. Borg).

So then cloud providers coalesced around the platform. People who learned the concepts found it easy to use and loved it and it fueled the adoption.

I still believe that despite all the hate that k8s gets on HN, its popular because it works and its users love it. There is very loud subset of users who makes their displeasure known very well but we have to look at concrete data on usage and the data points to k8s being a very popular platform for USERS.
Most of the circumstances around the firing are hearsay.

Will that allow me to ship software to servers (not enormous clusters, I mean like a couple of VMs somewhere) without having to first become a Kubernetes expert?

Yes absolutely, the YAML will just need to be updated for API keys or whatever.

Kubernetes is complicated to build a production grade cluster on bare metal but for getting started as a developer it’s no more complicated than Docker actually
Right now no one. Betfair only takes a commission on money that changes hands. As fair as I understand, they are not openly laying or backing bets.

Backing is the simplest way of making a bet which ensures positive expected return. That is, if you can get the bet matched. I tried my hand at making some back bets by hand using the terminal programme I made illustrated in [2], and no bets were matched. This is because the only people making and matching bets with positive expected return are the ones laying, and they are laying at odds which ensure a negative expected return for the backer.

Now the problem is to figure out how to, given the exact odds for each outcome, successfully lay all outcomes. This involves ensuring the correct amount of money is matched for each outcome.

>If the ICUs fill up, the death rate for all age groups will greatly increase

Can you explain the mechanism? Because hospitalization does _zero_ for survivability. We have no medicine that works, incubation turned out to straight up harm and kill patients. All you get at ICU is oxygen. You can get same thing at home. Two of my family members received portable units and isolated at home, third didnt get anything other than some pills for inflammation, last one stayed at the hospital and didnt receive anything other than oxygen and some random probably useless antibiotics.

This is how it looked 8 months ago in Italy:

"Italy Cremona https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rfkbv_WQtn0 Italy Bergamo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_suhYeWEcJg Two hospitals, not a single patient survived ventilation/ecmo to date" Those hospitals were accepting 100 patients per day, and simultaneously producing same amount of body bags.
That is, I think, a great shame.

The writing for Docker for Mac is on the wall. It depends on a Linux VM, for which there is no business case to spend atrociously large amounts of resources to adapt for x86 container images to run on M1 ARM Macs.

For the life of me, I don't understand why Microsoft doesn't acquire Docker. Tighten the integration between Docker for Windows and WSL2, use Docker Hub to slowly push container authors onto managed Azure container registries, and use Docker Hub as a marketing channel for Azure.

Yes, a simple workflow is running Minikube or K3s locally for testing and then pushing it out to a managed Kubernetes platform like DigitalOcean Kubernetes. This avoids having to know any of the underlying details of setting up the Kubernetes cluster. Everything you do in terms of interacting with the cluster on Minikube will be the same as on your production managed Kubernetes.

All you really need to learn is some basics around Kubernetes terminology, the kubectl command line utility, and then some of the YAML config syntax for setting up application deployments and probably an ingress into the cluster. You can also add helm into the mix if you'd like to take advantage of pre-built packages that you can install to your cluster. For example SSL certificate management or a webserver ingress like nginx-ingress.

I'll also comment specifically on your remark: I never mentioned Docker's behavior in the community, good or bad.

Indeed this is particularly egregious:

> When retested in 2007 as part of a different system [the insulation] failed combustion tests dramatically. Kingspan has argued this was not a consequence of its product, but the firm's own internal report warned the new insulation had performed ‘very differently’ — burning on its own and continuing after the test fire was put out.

> But the market was not told of these findings, nor that the product had changed. In fact, when the country’s largest private building control firm, the National House Building Council (NHBC) threatened to reject the product due to fears over its combustibility in the mid 2010s, Kingspan called in the lawyers and threatened it with defamation. The NHBC backed down.

This doesn’t mean that the government gets off scot-free but obviously this is a major corporate scandal that deserves to be investigated regardless of perceived political motivations.

Highlighting a problem is very valuable. Enumerating solutions is a completely different issue and often requires completely different skillsets.

The argument "don't talk about a problem if you don't have a solution" is a logical fallacy.

Also, CAA is explicitly specified to only constrain certificate issuance, not certificate acceptance. Only the issuing CA is supposed to check it, not the browser. RFC 8659:

A set of CAA records describes only current grants of authority to
issue certificates for the corresponding DNS domain name. Since
certificates are valid for a period of time, it is possible that a
certificate that is not conformant with the CAA records currently
published was conformant with the CAA records published at the time
that the certificate was issued. Relying Parties MUST NOT use CAA
records as part of certificate validation.
I agree with you.

Fact: Docker is insanely popular with devs but Docker Inc. is struggling as a company. Devs have invested a lot on the platform and entire production systems and deployment pipelines use it.

k8s announces "we're no longer supporting docker shim!" and what most devs heard is "k8s is moving off from docker (which we know has been struggling for a while)! Fuuuuuccckkkk what do we need to do??" and panicked. This is the source of the drama, and we're going to see many "takes" on it. Its just the way the blogging ecosystem works.

Kubernetes adds some nice stuff but “scaling” and “fault tolerance” can be achieved very easily without it.

Kubernetes is great because it’s a very standard way to interact with computers. Doesn’t matter really if it’s google cloud, on prem, AWS or whatever, it is the same.

The idea being that it abstracts away a lot of the toil work of ops, with the very obvious caveat that you don’t know what the sausage factory is doing.

I’m pretty kubernetes neutral, some of the concepts are great and deserve replication. (Kube-dns + etcd!, sidecars, scheduling to a cluster)

Some are pitfalls that might cost a lot of people a lot of time in the future. (Networking and storage abstractions being prominent examples)

But as with everything, it’s pros and cons, the complexity being a pretty large con in my personal opinion. I say this as a person who is currently converting a lot of stuff to kubernetes because it solves some particular problems we have really well.
