I feel like this is a problem of not being about to please everyone. Someone will always complain about something. I'm sure there's a flip-side to this post of people finding a huge amount of success from Lambda School (that are less likely to post about their positive experience).

I don't disagree that Lambda School may have problems but they're still young and have a lot to improve. Just from my personal anecdote but I've worked with people from bootcamps (notably Hack Reactor), and they've been fantastic so I believe that they're (bootcamps) definitely capable of educating people for success.
Hmm, wish countries would poll their citizens with regards to wanting a war... I wonder how many would happen?

The real use case is super simple clusters, which could be just 1 node, no etcd, no API (SSH managed), no iptables.

Simplenetes is not a living breathing thing which auto heals it self, it's a deterministic approach where you can see your cluster with all hosts in the git repo which represents the cluster.

Also, it's focused on making local development easy, so you can develop in a micro services architecture straight on your laptop with very quick iterations.
I'd like to take a moment and refute these silly arguments that I made.

> You are forgetting that DRM stopped all that piracy that bankrupted the movie industry. That's also why there were so few movies released in the last 15 months or so.

DRM didn't stop anything, and the movie industry is not bankrupt.

One could easily argue that there might be other reasons why few movies were released since the start of 2019.

> It really debunks that myth that open source software could ever handle the strong encryption that's so desperately needed to protect new movies and TV shows from showing up on The Pirate Bay.

The myth? Do you realize that literally every single web browser is built on an open source foundation? And how is decryption in the browser going to keep a determined person from grabbing the screen output or even grabbing the keys?

Remember, not your keys, not your lock.

> I for one welcome this cogent and secure technological response to a market issue.

Why would a technological response be appropriate for a market issue?
This reminds me of a fun fact I learned many years ago, which is that there's a corollary to Moores Law: the same growth curve applies to the cost of building new fabs.

Some Americans, mostly older women, don't know their SSN because they never used it. Their husbands handled taxes, opened bank accounts, and collected Social Security. If you've ever dealt with medical data, SSN is not a reliably unique identifier. Couples will share a number because each gives the "relevant" number instead of their own.
There's journals that are specifically open access and there's a fee for publishing in them. Some of them are excellent. There are also publications that accept just about any paper as long as the author pays to have it published. I'm trying to figure out which kind they're publishing in. I'll see what I can figure out.

You know it's prose written by a programmer when they use "else" in a sentence where other people would say "otherwise".
> The first question we should ask when someone develops a single switch to shut off an entire, critical piece of infrastructure is why?

They don't though. From a technical view point, they have the same "off switch" that every country has: boots on the ground, guns and trust that they'll use them. They didn't switch the internet off, they ordered the service providers to switch it off. Every country on earth can do that with the service providers that are running physical infrastructure in the country, it's harder for satellite internet.

There's absolutely no reason why the US, Germany or Switzerland couldn't do the same. They probably won't any time soon, but they can: all it takes is a few phone calls and the service providers' belief that they mean it.
New Mexico is currently at 48.4% of the eligible population with at least one dose, which recent research indicates is at least 80% effective. Research also indicates that the non-eligible population - children - are not as likely to spread or contract the disease. By mid-May I expect many more states to lift mask mandates, for venues to open at near 100% capacity, etc. People will still be dying from COVID, 80-90% effective still leaves a lot of people vulnerable. But that has not stopped us so far!
What's going on here in Myanmar should be a lesson to all people.

Here is the US, I'd like to see a lobby to have Communications Act amended to remove any power of the government or business to shut down communications networks, systems or inter-connections.

This idea that governments can protect us from ourselves is foolish.

Environment variables, when used correctly, tend to work just about everywhere. That's why they're in use. It's the same reason why programs still install to `/usr/bin`, even though we're all very much aware that `/usr` is not "user direectories" and the whole idea of "userspace" vs "kernel space" is irrelevant in 99% of *nix installs these days (including containers).
I think the importance of users feedback and validation is often overrated.

I don't know that I'd agree with all of those statements, but my expertise lies in C#, with a bit of TypeScript/JavaScript/Front-end Web thrown in from time to time. I used to write a lot in C++, have dabbled in C...

The reason I don't write everything in TypeScript has nothing to do with TypeScript. Language-wise, it is my favorite experience, hands down. I can express things in a type-safe, strict manner, and do things generically that simply cannot be done outside of dynamic languages, while still gaining the benefits of a statically typed language.

Not taking node into account[0], TypeScript on its own is my favorite language and it's not the one I write software in every day. While I agree with your arguments around pinning and such, node is a bit of a victim of its own success and suffers from dependency-hell in a way that is truly unique and interesting all on its own. The only way to be certain that code is good is if you write it, barring that ... a trusted, supported third-party for the important things, and inspect the rest. The problem on the node side is the impossibility of the last task, and if you aren't doing it, neither is your trusted third-party. I'm not saying it's hopeless -- I'd even wager a guess there's a comment in my past that is far more harsh on `npm` than it deserved/deserves[1].

I don't think "node-based" solutions for shell are bad. The biggest problem I tend to run into with shell scripts in constrained environments are related to dependencies. With node, `install`, done (usually). I target "what's probably there" like most people. Sometimes it's not. In the past, when this was a bigger problem than it is now for me, I would throw my hands up and build it in whatever I wanted because "if I had to get a waiver to add `jq` or some other thing to this box, I might as well have them put `python` on there" -- same amount of work arguing over BS but less work writing it. I'd probably apply that to `node` these days but those problems aren't mine any longer. :)

[0] Which some will point to `npm` as the whole reason they use node while others will point out why it's the entirety of its problems.

[1] And I hate the attitude of some that implies `npm`s problems have easy solutions, "if they just ...". No. It's almost everyone's first language. It's really easy to publish packages. There's a gajillion of them out there. (Yet, it works ... every? ... time I need to solve something using it.)

Yeah, I don't personally care very much for SimuTrans either compared to OpenTTD, but I felt it was worth mentioning since some people might prefer its gameplay to the fairly unrealistic default OpenTTD economy.

I think reddit ads are pretty underrated, they are fairly cheap, you can target specific subreddits and people in those subreddits tend to be passionate about the topic.

If you allow them to comment on the ad itself, you might even get more useful feedback in addition to getting users on your mvp (there will also be lots of copy-pasta, but it's not too bad).
As a countering anecdote, the pharmacy where I got my shot had two pharmacists trying to deal with the normal work of distributing prescriptions while also juggling incoming vaccine appointments from multiple systems with a list printed that morning and people coming to the counter to request any "extras" they had. The main guy was keeping a cool head, but it looked like it had been a long day.
This is wonderful. The customization and the quick ability to set rules is great. Already recommended for others to try out. Thank you!
Hmmm, my understanding is that the flu vaccines are basically built on the seasonality of the flu -- the southern & northern hemisphere's flu seasons run six months opposite each other, so you basically take the strains that were biggest in the southern hemisphere during its season and vaccinate the northern against them, and vice-versa six months later.

Do we have any sign yet on whether the COVID-season would be expected to run on a similar schedule?

What this solves is getting people to understand that science is a process of discovery and not simply a set of facts set in stone. Too many people don't seem to understand that and that leads to some people who beleive in science(but who actually believe in the infallibility of scientific knowledge) become disillusioned when the science changes. They then will become more skeptical about future scientific proclamations. Treating science as a religion doesn't really help anyone. Admitting mistakes is beneficial for the advance of science and the continuing respect for science.
Dollar Shave Club | SRE and Data Engineers | Los Angeles, CA (REMOTE US) | Full-Time | https://www.dollarshaveclub.com/

Dollar Shave Club is looking for Site Reliability Engineers (SRE) to write Go (Golang) and support a modern Kubernetes-on-AWS platform,
and define SLOs/SLAs and help our engineering teams design their software in a cloud-native way.

This position is 100% remote friendly for anyone in the US. We offer competitive salary, great work-life balance, unlimited PTO plus fully-paid health benefits and more.

1. For more details about SRE at DSC, see https://engineering.dollarshaveclub.com/the-philosophy-of-in...

Apply here: https://jobs.jobvite.com/dollarshaveclub/job/oLvRefw5

We're also hiring Data Engineers! This role works closely with the SRE team and Data Analysts to architect and maintain a modern, AWS-native data pipeline and data warehouse. This role will serve as the nucleus of the Data Engineering group at DSC and will be a key voice in the data architecture for the company moving forward. This position is also 100% remote friendly for anyone in the US.

That worked splendidly in the 1920s.

At least admit you're an authoritarian who considers people outside the academy (essentially a cartel for accreditation, and a vestige of the medieval priesthood) a bunch of rubes.
So you want to tell, it's better to have no tool at all (given pre-tree-sitter Bash LSP doesn't exist), than to have a tool with a lot of dependencies? I get that some may avoid having huge number of dependencies on production, but when it comes to local development tools, I couldn't care less. It's 2021, I can buy 1 TB SSD for less than 100 bucks.
There is extensive discussion of that topic in the valhalla-dev and valhalla-spec-experts mailing lists, but I think the details are still being worked out.
I believe in practice the Tatmada keeps a tight grip on satellite Internet, and don't allow services that they don't control.

Remember, this is the country where one of the charges they brought against Aung San Su Kyi during the Feb coup was importing analog two-way radios. And more broadly, people are regularly arrested and imprisoned or sometimes executed for mere possession of radio equipment.
It's not just this.

For example, the third leading cause of death is believed to be preventable medical errors: https://www.bmj.com/content/353/bmj.i2139

This statistic has been corroborated by other studies (search: "third leading cause of death medical errors US"). You cannot evade statistics like that by going to the "best hospitals", or by "having good insurance", or being "able to pay for it".

I nearly died at age 22 from multiple medical errors over the same hospitalization. I am in my early 30s now. It still haunts me. I nearly died from severe diabetic ketoacidosis (blood pH got down to 7.03) from the hospital messing up insulin dosages (I have type 1 diabetes), and then I had to get a central line in my neck for treatment because I was so dehydrated. I got sepsis from the central line placement, which is never supposed to happen. I was not even hospitalized initially for any of the above mentioned reasons!

US life expectancy is expected to go down from #43 in the world in 2016 to #64 in 2040. See: http://www.healthdata.org/news-release/how-healthy-will-we-b...

Then there are things like this: Death or Debt? National Estimates of Financial Toxicity in Persons with Newly-Diagnosed Cancer (42% of newly diagnosed cancer patients exhaust their life assets, with the average losses being $92,098)

Then if you have a rare disease, which 7-8% of the general population collectively has, you often have to rely on orphan drugs (like me). There are 8,000 or so rare diseases. I actually have 2 rare diseases, and one of them is so rare that it will not be cured without personalized medicine.

One of the things which made me give up hope in the US was stuff like this, where very rare diseases become treatable, but the yearly cost of the drug (under contract via insurance) is ~$2 million/year, and it has to be taken for life. This is a new trend, and it makes me distraught.

Currently, the country I am a citizen of (besides the US), is about to have the same lifespan for females as the US (which I am female). The country went through a nasty war with the breakup of Yugoslavia. I am proud of my country, I mean Croatia. I also have the EU to fall back on. With the US, there is very little that can be done to protect me, from a work and insurance perspective.
Never heard it put it that way either but it is so true. I am going to add key qualifier for any idea I have: “How difficult is it to talk to someone about it?”

There have been unsubstantiated rumors for years that the Taiwanese military has outfitted TSMC fabs with explosives that can be rigged to go off in the event of a mainland invasion in order to deny China access to TSMC capabilities.

The rumor doesn't actually need to be true in order to act as a deterrent -- it just needs to be leaked to Chinese officials and considered credible. It also assumes that access to TSMC is a strong motivation for an invasion, which may or may not be true.

In any case, the answer to your question depends on whether this is true, and whether the explosives are actually used. If the fabs are destroyed, it'll set the world back by at least a decade.

So if you thought the chip shortage was bad today...

On the other hand, if it's not true (or if it is, but the fabs aren't destroyed for whatever reason), and operations continue despite an invasion, I can definitely imagine a scenario where the rest of the world just sort of shrugs and goes with it. Kind of a horrifying thought, but what are the alternatives? Attack China? They have nukes. Everyone will condemn China, sure. Then China will get upset and claim that we're all "hurting the feelings of the Chinese people" [1], and that'll be the end of it.
