Are you at all disappointed in the lack of discipline in younger programmers. I know when JavaScript first started to become a server-side language, I worked with a slightly older programmer, he was maybe 40 in 2014, and he hated it.

Sort of. I’m a working parent with a baby — his other parent is also working full time and we don’t have child care.

That just means they shouldn't try an amphibious landing first up. They could set up a blockade then use a bunch of missiles, artillery and drones to shell Taiwan until they surrender.

If it is Taiwan v. China, Taiwan will lose. The only hope they have is support from someone with a strong enough navy that China can't blockade them.

Indeed. Cold showers sure have potential to reduce wrinkle formation tho. And to make you temporarily much more alive, if not live longer (just go and try it, use as much cold as possible which probably means you will scream at start).

The centurian thing is probably ocam's razor: specific genes in combination with specific environment must be a good fit for longevity. Knowing that we are in no way closer in understanding anything about it, but at least we know we can't expect random centurian giving meaningful answer.
When Trump called the national guard to deal with rioters during the summer it was globally criticized. The military do not have the training to deal with rioting citizens. They do not have the right equipment to deal with rioting citizens. They do not have the right organizational structure to deal with rioting citizens. The result of sending the military against your own citizen is always unnecessary violence and death.

Feel free to complain about the delays in requesting additional police from nearby cities, or the inability of the few thousands police officers for not be able to secure the building and the people inside. Complain that they did not have a good plan and assessment of the situation. But please, do not complain that they did not send the military. It is never a good idea unless the other side also have military gear and military training operated by a military organization.

Would anyone here be happier of the military was used against the rioters in the capital and a few hundred or thousand people died from machine fire?

The Yaris was available for roughly $14k up until a year or two ago (I only know the Canadian price, which was I think $15,900 cad). It was discontinued because it didn't sell well enough.

As mentioned elsewhere in this thread, I used to think it was inevitable that China will be able to successfully invade Taiwan, but its almost impossible to pull of an amphibious invasion. Taiwan's geography makes this particularly difficult.
I think this is especially troublesome from the National Farmers Union. They were simultaneously campaigning publicly to keep EU standards (to protect their members from cheaper imports), whilst privately lobbying the government to lower standards.

Nixon deserves the praise and blame for China relations. Starting the process was really hard part.

It was culmination of long process started by Nixon in 1972. Shanghai Communique pledged to work toward the full diplomatic relations. Ford and Carter followed trough the process.

Taiwan really didn't matter during the Cold War. Relations with China was strategic move to help create distance between Soviet Union and China.

If you don’t want to give away all your writing then that is not a good choice. It is not unreasonable for people spending time researching and writing an article to get compensated for that effort. Ads is one way of getting compensation. Another is to use something like medium. Medium also gives much better exposure than something like a personal blog.

As someone who has written personal blog for 20 years I can tell you medium has made a huge difference. I have switched to doing the bulk of my writing there. It gives better reach and allows you to get compensated for the effort.
I don’t think openapi is necessary. All endpoint paths are easy to construct knowing gvk tuples which can be easily extracted from k8s.io/api using some go package analysis (you can also do it at runtime by parsing openapi endpoint). The data types are all defined in generated.proto in the same repo.
I would counter that the launch process is inefficient and designed to ensure positive control. Many people have to concur and validate the orders are legitimate. The president doesn't call the sub captain on his iphone.
In addition, military officers with this responsibility understand the gravity of the situation; in the ICBM fields they have access to the media. Launch when everything in the world is peaceful? Nope. They would question it.
> the new administration will be just as harsh with China (but probably with less drama about it)

They will, they have no choice. The Biden Administration isn't in charge of the China policy, that's a US Government level comprehensive strategic shift that began well before Trump. The Pentagon overall is more powerful than the US Presidency, and all the agencies that matter are on board the China confrontation approach. There are strategic policies that persist regardless of administrations, for example that was the case when the US was dealing with the USSR, and it's going to be the case when dealing with China going forward. It doesn't matter who is elected President on this policy matter, the only thing that changes are the more subtle details (and some of the drama, as you noted).
I've heard this argument a lot lately. What other amendments should we allow corporations to break?

You are also only saying this because your side is the one doing the censoring. If Republicans had control of all tech and media and you were almost completely censored, I think your opinion would change.
tl;dr If you’re operating with CRDs at trivial scale, you probably having nothing to worry about. But operating with CRDs at scale is a different story and suggests careful testing with the specific applications involved.

——-

The usage patterns of native k8s types and the implications those patterns have on the scalability and reliability of etcd and the apiserver are relatively well-understood. CRDs can be a wild-card, though, and afaik testing efforts thus far have not investigated worst-case usage of CRD-based applications.

As commonly deployed, CRDs are served from the same apiservers and etcd cluster that serves the native types for a k8s cluster. That can result in contention between the CRDs supporting 3rd party additions to a cluster and the native types critical to the health of a cluster. This kind of contention has the potential to bring a cluster to its knees.

Efforts like priority and fairness seek to ensure that the apiserver can prioritize at the level of the API call. But that won’t prevent watch caches from OOM’ing the apiserver if excessive numbers of CRDs are present. The judicious use of quotas could head off the creation of an excessive number of objects, but it’s not just count that matters - the size of each resource is also a factor.

In theory, CRDs could be isolated from native types by serving them from an aggregated apiserver backed by a separate etcd cluster. afaik this not a supported configuration today, and even if it were the additional resources required to support it (especially the separate etcd cluster) may be prohibitive for many use cases.
Well truth be told his opinion has no more validity than than opinion of you or I on this matter. The world is dealing with a new problem and it’s incredibly annoying to be listening to with the “holier than thou” attitude of people who believe that they’re are completely right and censorship is 100% universally bad.

Companies are trying this out. It can’t be any worse than taking no action at all.

Orwell understood that in order to create an atmosphere of total oppression there could be no loyalty between anyone. This is why the party criminalizes sex for pleasure. It’s the recognition that the loyalty within families is the greatest threat to the totalitarian state.

Fine, I accept that's a more accurate description. But it's the same point. This is a problem of Donald Trump's creation. He foisted himself on Twitter and it's not their job to accept that at all or forever. He had and still has official channels.
All of the republicans in senate and house and 6 democratic reps could have opted to throw out any number of votes they please leaving no party with the majority of the electoral college vote which would constitutionally required us to hold a vote in the house to decide the next president which would almost certainly result in Trump being re-elected.

Arguably this would be obviously against the spirit of the law but its not clear that 5 supreme court justices would have found that argument persuasive.

If the court and congress comply there is no need to convince the armed forces let alone banks and industry.

For the record the CHAZ was actually nonviolent during the day. Guns should have never been allowed. The shooting happened because drug addicts were fleeing to CHAZ with their stolen car that looked similar to the car that tried to pull a drive by earlier that night and the retards shot them.

Sure. I think there are lots of things that can incrementally increase your longevity. Don't smoke, don't drink too much, don't abuse drugs, eat food (not too much, mostly plants), watch your weight, exercise your body, exercise your mind, have sanguine outlook on life, love and be loved, etc. None are silver bullets, but taken together they probably significantly increase your chances to get to 90. But after 90, everyone is increasingly living on borrowed time.

In any case, when the reporter asks the secret of your longevity, they're not really asking "what did you do 50 years ago that contributed to your still being here today?"
I love the back and forth of terminology ("rioter" vs "terrorist" vs "attacker") because I think that's the key to this discussion. The military is given access to dramatically more advanced weapons and technology than police. When the US has suffered such an obviously violent and direct attack (vs planning or "alleged"), is that not a reason to loosen the restraints?

However, it's hard to put the genie back in the bottle with technology. Like we've seen this summer with local police using military hardware, there will always be the urge to inappropriately deploy military-grade technologies in a civilian setting.
