Isn't Helm already after K8s?

Hopefully we have more iteration on configuring k8s. I'm not convinced we'll so easily go back to managing instances with monoliths.
That was kinda my point. It would be surprisingly difficult to settle in the little fishing village with the undiscovered point break that every surfer fantasizes about. Instead you’ll end up in one of the tourist towns that were never local villages in the first place, and thus don’t have any locals to hang out with, since they mostly live inland in towns jobs.

Puerto Rico, on the other hand does have towns full of Puerto Ricans all along the coast, so it’s possible to meet one of them who is not in the process of serving you a beer. That’s one of many reasons it ranks higher on my list of possible places to set up shop.
Your competencies might be real and correctly-assessed, but from your description, you sound like you might be difficult to work with.

I don't mean to extrapolate from Internet-rant to presumed-reality, but this is a common pattern, so maybe it's worth mentioning:

I can teach a person Prolog. Any reasonable developer can teach themselves Prolog.

I cannot teach a person, nor have I ever witnessed a person self-educate on a short (employer-relevant) timescale, the willingness and propensity to work cooperatively and constructively, if it is not in their nature at interview-time.

Sometimes the latter is much more important than the former.

Negativity is infectious, and people naturally steer clear.
I did not really understand how hot a forest fire gets until I explored the aftermath on a friends mountain land.

The first thing I noticed is there was almost no ash. The firestorm winds blew all the light ash away so it is like entire trees just evaporated.

The next weird thing were the holes in the ground where you could look inside and see the voids where all the roots used to be. You see the negative image of the root system baked into the soil.
For some serivces in a kafka-based system i replaced the Postgres some services were using with File-based BoltDB stores or SQLite DBs.

With kafka as the data source every instance was autonomous and would keep itself up to date using the kafka partition offsets.

Went really well, took the DB cluster out of the scaling equasion and offloaded a lot of the cost to the SSD instead of memory or a managed DB Cluster.

If eventual consistency is enough i feel that this is a nice way to handle things.
It was a mistake to attack the business side of the oil company, because it created what could be sold as reasonable doubt to shut down the pipeline.

As a result, the ransom had the optics of an attack on infrastructure. As evidenced by the coverage of Americans desperately filling up containers.

This created the impetus for the US to treat this as an incident far and above the ambient ransomware activities leading up to this.

It also gave the US an opportunity to show how effective it could be when it had the political cover to do so.
Check out Monero. I'm a lay person when it comes to cryptography and cryptocurrency, but supposedly an innovation in that currency, known as ring signatures, keeps the blockchain private.
I believe you mean a Light Sweet Crude insult.
This is only the beginning, there will be a massive crypto tax-reckoning in the coming years and it will, unfortunately, come on the backs of relatively small time investors.
Lots of opining about motives and reasoning for the shutdown, but this seems like the most likely scenario:

>“However, a strong caveat should be applied to these developments: it’s likely that these ransomware operators are trying to retreat from the spotlight more than suddenly discovering the error of their ways”
Funny, I had a similar re-adjustment of my idea of what mass spectrometry is capable off a few weeks ago and I remember being totally amazed. That has come a very long way in the last decades.

The tech behind it is fascinating too.
So they have a public representative living in the US and are associated with Harvard University. I don‘t think there‘s much shadowy cybercrime to investigate there.

How do you feel about Wikileaks and the prosecution of Julian Assange?
My experience was the opposite. The learning curve for CS classes is steep, but you can go in with zero knowledge. When I took music theory, there was a hard requirement for vocal training experience and I was rather shocked that such an important and uncommon thing was just taken for granted.
That makes two of us! I do find sleeping with the window(s) open produces better sleep and next day alertness. I was really hoping this was a study regarding this.
What's awe inspiring to me is the fact that life on Earth was single celled for around 3.5 Billion years.
DarkSide's English is incredibly good for some supposed Russians. It even has the correct use of the apostrophe in "clients'". I know nothing, but my hunch is that this was written by a well-educated person who grew up in the US or Canada.
I'll chime in and say that for me at least, the module system was a hurdle at the start and coincidentally the only part of the language where the explanation in The Book (which is excellent, so thank you, btw!) did not click for me.

I think it's debatable whether the module system really is complex or just different from what newcomers are used to (and by now I've grown pretty accustomed to it). But in contrast to most other language features, where it was clear what I was getting in return for the steep learning curve, the module system seemed overly complicated at the time for no real benefit. Not a big issue by any means and I would choose Rust with its module system over the alternatives most days of the week, but it is one tradeoff that to me at least seemed orthogonal to the other borrowing-related complexities.

(What is more worrying to me nowadays is the whole async story. I do hope that some of it will get better once certain features land and it is certainly an area where some additional complexity is unavoidable, but it is the only part of Rust that I dread touching despite heavily using async in a moderately sized personal project due to the need for WASM + IndexedDB, simply because lifetime issues become much more tricky once async and either traits, recursion or closures are involved. By now I am consciously trying to limit any async parts of the program to a simple and stupid "Rust-light" style without any "fancy" features such as traits or closures, which does not feel like a proper solution. So yeah, in general I agree with you: Rust is certainly complex, but for the most part not unnecessarily so.)
There are irc daemons that have everything integrated such as oragono [1].

And if you just want an irc server for a couple friends you can just ignore ChanServ/NickServ.. it's not really needed (hell.. ircnet is still going strong and has no services at all!)

would be awesome to talk and hear more about your experience. we absolutely are looking at omni-channel, something that is different from some of the early players in the space. We are starting with ecommerce because these founders have developed product market fit and are doing it profitably. As a platform we can help them get on other marketplaces (e.g. walmart, target, international amazon) and then into physical retail. The sale cycle there is longer as you know, but having a top rated product on amazon is already catching the attention of brick and mortar buyers.
Sure, but purescript has to exist as a node package, which it does! I just didn't know that. Last time I'd looked the landing page was way more browser-focused.
Google security in the face of a LE request: We'll need you to get a warrant, but here's a list of friendly judges with extremely efficient rubber stamps. We're here to serve you!!

Apple security in the face of a LE request: We'll need you to get a warrant.

The security we actually need and LE actually deserves: We'll need you to get a warrant, and then you can have access to that specific customer's E2E encrypted shitblob. Good luck.

Maybe that sort of security wouldn't be needed or deserved if our government was well intentioned and we had good laws and a functioning judicial system. But no...we have the world's top security agency that would rather hoard zero days than protect its citizens, law enforcement that will never respect constitutionally-protected rights, and judges that play along for political points and appointment nominations.
I’m skeptical as well. They know they built up a little too much notoriety and want to exit the game, is my guess. A core set of people can live pretty comfortably off of the ransom here, though they’ll have a hard time laundering it.
I definitely think you're right that the module system is complicated, even the new module system. I would like to make one nit though: it's definitely deterministic. Deterministic just means it can be predicted, not that you specifically can predict it. If the module system was non-deterministic that would be a much bigger issue

"broke even" = 0% ROI (meaning there was no return on the investment)

In fact, breaking even after a year is losing money because of inflation.

Kudos if that was a deliberate joke.
As a concrete case of what EricBurnett says, we have a service that has a "long" warmup (p99 30ms - you can think of it like loading a symbol table) but then very fast requests once that data is loaded (p99 about 400usec, fast specifically because it can exchange indexes into the shared symbol table and not full data).

I've never understood why people pay so much money to live in studio flats in crap areas of a city. We live out in Kent and including a drive to the train station and buying the ticket can be in central London in 40 minutes. That gets us an £1100 mortgage payment on a 4 bed house surrounded by farmland. Sometimes when we meet friends who live in London for dinner it takes them longer to get to the restaurant than it does us.

Doesn't that also apply to, say, GitLab paying their team? The pricing for a highly-available service isn't as cheap as it could be but it doesn't seem terribly far off of S3's pricing.

I know that a small game studio must have a tight budget — and yours looks like a really interesting project (just subscribed) — but it seemed like an awfully strong objection to what I would have assumed would be a small fraction of your total expenses.
Ask HN: Would you rather work 4 days per week for 80% salary?
I run www.4dayweek.io (Software Jobs with a better work / life balance) and recently I've talked to 100+ companies trying to convince them to offer their job listings on a 4 day work week (e.g. 32 hours) - for many companies they simply aren't interested.

Here are some common responses:

- We are a start up working hard to launch so it wouldn't work for us. I read this as: "we've advertised this as full time, but really it's 24/7"

- It would require too much effort to change our current culture. I read this as: "it's the way we've always done it, so no thanks"

- "We are only looking for full-time employees". This is the most common response. I always find it interesting when companies who struggle to attract top talent don’t consider offering a benefit such as a 4 day week. The law of diminishing returns means there is little difference between the output in a 4 vs 5 day week. This is also due to Parkinson’s Law.

If there was a financial incentive, however, I feel many of these companies would be more inclined to offering a 4 day week.

So my question is, if you weren't able to get a 4 day work week job (e.g. 32hrs) on a full salary, would you accept a small reduction in salary? Or would you instead stick to 5 days @ 100% salary?

I've also created a poll on Twitter asking this [1]. So if you have a moment to give your honest reply, I'd really appreciate it. It may help me convince more companies to offer their roles on a 4 day work week - there are huge benefits for both employers and employees imo.

I personally believe that working 4 days per week doesn't equate to 80% output, more like 90%, and therefore I feel the salary should reflect this. However, in order to normalise the 4 day week, I feel that a small salary reduction might be a good first step.

At least one reversed proxy layer between the client and the server is standard I would say.

I usually log in from one city in Germany, now I suddenly log in first from another city in Germany. It's the same user agent, but an empty cookie jar. Should the login be denied?

Now I log in from a city in the Netherlands, 20 minutes later. From a phone, again, empty cookie jar. Even with a helicopter there's no way to make it there that fast. Should the login be denied?

(The answer is "no, because I've traveled to another city to visit a conference, and the conference network was routed in a weird way and the GeoIP data for their exit IP was incorrect".)

People jump locations all the time, for reasons like remote desktop sessions, mobile roaming, personal and company VPNs, etc.

Realistically VMs, the toolsets are very mature, and it was an incredible waste to spend so much time getting them to work so well and then dumping all of it for containers. Which has you starting all over at zero again due to the lack of maturity, tooling that is all over the place and requires tons of elbow grease to integrate and make work for your use case.
> it is a charge to figure out a way to achieve a thing; you know it will ultimately be possible, and when you find the way, it is an ego boost.

This is actually something I agree with, even as a fan of Rust. Sometimes I wonder to what extent the appeal of Rust is based in the fact that you get to feel like a CS undergrad again, climbing mountains to make code compile and run

Was H-mart around before the Buford Highway Farmers market? I went there for years before I ever saw an H-Mart and it was very inviting, but maybe H-mart was around and I just didn't know it.

Also to add, growing up in Georgia I feel like every grocery store I went in had a tank of live lobsters. Even Red lobster had that, so I don't see why they think non-asian's would recoil from that.
Urban areas are just a small minority of where the tracks need to go, as such if the train goes half the speed in the urban area we are still okay on overall trip time. In fact I suspect (read I don't know because it hasn't really been tried) that HSR should probably do a bunch of stops in the urban areas anyway so it won't get up to speed.
Cool thanks! This is a great example of my mental bias, actually: I don't tend to think of the module system as a "language feature" even though it clearly is!

There are some good reasons and interesting arguments around all this, but given that I was just curious about your opinion, I won't bore you with all that :) Thanks!

Here's a counterexample literary trainwreck from the BBC. Have a go at wading through this horror show. It appears to have been written deliberately to withhold the topic of the article from the reader, for as long as possible. The wholly uninformative title is just the beginning.

Mars might end up being Archaea's time to shine, assuming they aren't there already. Apparently they and some bacteria can eat it as well.

It's likely that you feed yourself with hydroponics, and use the waste materials and imported inoculate to start a composting operation, where, like earth gardeners, you feed a little bit of dirt into each batch. If you can tune that to break down perchlorates, then soon you'll have compost you can grow more food in, at which point you start getting compound interest. Assuming, that is, that you send actual soil scientists and not industrial ag people, who think soil is something you wear out and then buy at a store.

> It solves real problem when you are tired of having to double your git server CPUs every 6 months

Putting blobs into an SCM was always a bad idea, but in git it's particularly bad because the whole tree is always checked out at once. (I think last year a major change was added, that makes blob handling slightly more efficient though)

Still, I think there is still no independently developed git lfs server. I know, most people don't run git servers themselves but in the LFS use case it actually makes sense. There is also git annex which is completely open and free but adoption is very poor and the handling is even more obscure.
> I don't know why people keep bringing this up every time

The psychology of the people so dead-set against crypto is very fascinating to me, especially on a forward-thinking technology forum. You'd think that people here would be the first to recognize the potential good that comes from things like smart contracts or other unique applications of crypto.

We can't read minds of course, so this is just speculation from my own biased human perspective, but I think that people who are so virulently dead-set against crypto are IMO usually seething no-coiners who are mistakenly of the belief that they totally missed the boat on potential wealth and they're so butt-hurt about it that they want to prevent others from succeeding. Crab in a bucket mentality, so to speak.

In my opinion, what those folks would do well to understand is that we're still very early.

PS: Nothing personal against anybody is intended with the comments here, just want to comment on my opinion of peoples' general thought-processes, which is fascinating.

>The advantage is that [learning Rust] automatically filters, uh…, script kiddies
>So if you want to hire someone to write Rust for you, it’s pretty safe.

I'd be really sceptical of hiring someone who refers to other developers as "script kiddies". Rust has been getting a lot (well deserved) attention but I hope people aren't learning Rust as a status symbol.

I just need to run my code. Why should I need to manage the rest as long as it works?
