Kubernetes is a great piece of software and it definitely has it's advantages and use-cases. That said, this post strikes me on several fronts.

The writer starts by saying that servers were treated as pets, which inherently means difficulty (as the author clears out). I assume that, at some point, their services got reworked to a shape where they could be deployed in servers treated as cattle.
This is a work the author had to pay no matter if the final goal was Kubernetes, Autoscale Groups or any other solution.

Then the author explains how they got to the conclusion that they need to containerise their service(s) in order to be able to use K8s, which would then, in turn, allow them to scale properly (adding on top the Go rewrite that is mentioned at some point in the post).
The author also explains that Autoscale Groups were discarded because of their complexity.

It's not clear to me that K8s was the actual thing that helped them scale, but rather the work they put into reworking their services. In my experience, once your service(s) are ready to be deployed in servers that can be managed as cattle, the benefits show up independently of the deployment solution that is used to deploy the service(s) (K8s, Autoscale Groups, etc...).

Just to add on my point, wouldn't the result (in terms of performance / resources usage) be the same if instead of "containers" the author had chosen "AMIs" and instead of "Kubernetes" the author had opted for "Autoscale Groups"?

If that were the case (which I believe it might have), the other thing to consider would be the difficulty of managing a K8s cluster vs the difficulty of managing an Autoscale Group. I've seen quite some horror stories about K8s[1] and I'd rather choose ASG over K8s.

The GOP wants to check IDs because their voters are more likely to have ID. That’s the only reason. It’s not some noble effort to protect the sanctity of our elections. Illegal immigrants don’t vote.
You and I know different gamers though. People who buy expensive gpus usually push it for 8 to 12 hours per day on average.
Funny. I was in another conversation with the same user, and they trolled in the same exact way.

Harp on their point without actually addressing anything in the response, or original post. Just completely ignore it.
GMO plants are modified to make them more difficult to propagate and produce seeds, in order to protect intellectual property. The ecological consequences of those variations being released into the wild is devastating and has adversely affected farmers who do not grow GMOs.
Isn't the regime a responsibility of the society? I think people should bear the consequences of the regime they decided to keep having.
Good job, functionality fits my needs and the UX is really good. One suggestion, seeing as though the whole thing is cloud-based and I can't really be sure dynablogger will be maintained forever, it'd be nice to have an option to export the blog content to your own machine. While I could just ctrl+c ctrl+v, I think it's more convenient to be able to export all at once.
I was actually in sainsburys this afternoon so I bought one with my trolley pound, no ID needed!
Or of course if the browser stops providing the necessary API, which seems the most likely cause for the demise of uMatrix, at least in the shorter term.
Sad to hear it didn't work out, but I'm sure there were a few lessons learned. Seems like the Github marketplace is not great to launch and iterate fast. Maybe try the Slack marketplace for the next micro product?

If this is really enforced, it should lead to a huge devaluation of crypto currencies. After all, the reason why Bitcoin was invented in the first place was to decentralize currencies. Moreover, most crypto wallets should still be offline so a lot of value will be lost of no loopholes can be found.

A crypto currency forced to be managed by centralized authorities is pretty much useless, the equivalent of having a savings bank account in some extremely volatile foreign currency.

I suppose there will be enough loopholes in foreign countries to prevent these negative effects in the short term.
You are thinking about decoding, validating and forwarding a packet. I'm not a networking guy, so take the following with a grain of salt.

Even without ASICs the read/decode/forward part is apparently not a big deal: you can easily saturate multi-gigabit connections with cheap cpus today. But only if you don't have to make complicated routing decisions (i.e.: select the most appropriate "next hop" for each packet).

SCION pushes these decisions to the senders. When a sender sends a packet, that packet already contains the route it _has_ to follow. ISP routes are then dumb forwarders whose only job entails:

1. Ensuring the packet is valid (including a cryptography check for the route information). While this may seem expensive, note that pretty much all general-purpose cpus today include specific hardware to deal with this.

2. Forwarding it according to what the packet says

Of course, this implies that there needs to be a "control layer" that allows end hosts to construct these routes for each packet. However, that control layer is similar to a DNS system, meaning that while not trivial it can use a hierarchical, heavily-cached approach and shouldn't be too challenging to scale.
Geographically. Somaliland might be, but that's a de facto independent region only marginally connected to Mogadishu, where the intervention was.
A user having high drive usage doesn't make it an issue, let alone the same issue.

That user you linked to is using Catalina (as they mention in their twitter thread where they demonstrate a 3% usage increase over 2 weeks), so it will be completely unrelated to the support for silicon, which wasnt added until Big Sur.
Just a story from the history. Plane of Bolivian president was forced to land in Viena in July 2013 in order to search for Snowden after France and Portugal forbid it flying through their air space. I strongly belive that Russian propaganda will use that incident as a leverage.

To be clear, I highly despise the Belarusian regime and I'm in full support of opposition. I could only hope that EU will do something in return but it looks like it's a standard way of handling the people politically considered to be terrorists. It's not the way it should be done neither by Belarus nor especially by US/NATO if they want to hold the peacekeepers flag. Otherwise it's just double standards and politics.

Most of these Western journalists function as intelligence operatives with instructions to foment coups in non-West aligned states such as China, Venezuela, Iran, Russia and Belarus.

Perfect practice makes perfect. It is important to think and analyze, to correct bad habits. But once you've got the basics down, you then need to learn to let go and trust muscle memory. If you jump straight into "don't overthink it" while you're still making newbie mistakes, then practice is actually harmful and will impede further skill development
This is an amazing remark.

The entire hour is nothing BUT substantiating the opinion.

...in excruciating exhaustive detail that covers every possible excuse and addresses every possible disingenuous argument, exactly because people will try anything to avoid recognizing something they don't want to think about or admit or deal with.

He doesn't say "I don't like Apple because I don't know why, I just don't like their face." He says Apple did X, and here is the evidence that Ape did X, and here is exactly why X is bad. Exactly specifically and explicitly so that no one can possibly even try to say that the statement is just subjective and open to be disregarded.

And here you are proving how even such exhaustive extremes of thoroughness and correctness and see-for-yourselfness don't matter. That is incredibly disheartening to see. It proves once again that right and wrong don't matter. People use the words to suit their own opinions and wants, but they don't actaully matter.

You don't have to like his style or personality, but to say his statements are unsubstantiated opinion is just incredible.
Speaking of which - what was the profit motive in Vietnam? There was definitely geopolitical motive, but I can't imagine there was a "rich American" person or corporation calling the shots for themselves in indochina
I'm referring to this when I talk about WebGL fingerprinting: https://jonatron.github.io/webgl-fingerprinting/

Since Youtube fingerprints your device, it builds a shadow profile tied to that device, so that even in incognito/private sessions, you will get recommended videos that you recently watched, despite the anecdotal claims of others that they don't encounter this.

The only way to defeat that is to use an entirely separate device on a separate network that has a different fingerprint.

Thing is, classic cars are examined based on the year of make requirements. So a Trabant, or any other car from that period, has to fulfill the "old" requirements. Seat belts, if not part of the original roadworthiness certification, are not required. Same goes for emissions. And since Trabants were street legal back the day, they still are today. I would argue those that are around are even safer because of better maintenance and replacement part quality.
Or another country or another industry or encourages others to join the field.
Having owned BMWs in both Europe and the US, I can definitely attest to the much lower cost - both absolute and as a proportion of software developer income - in the US of an equivalent model (though ten model years apart). That said, I believe the US models are made here and not in Germany.
The reason it can be done in China is because those shops illegally obtain the parts (whether counterfeit or stolen, since Apple won't intentionally sell them to anyone) and resources (schematics, software, etc) to be able to do so.

This situation is both good and bad. Stolen parts are good, in the sense that this grey market at least allows consumers to repair devices cost-effectively. It's also bad, because besides it essentially being theft, the grey market opens the door to bad actors who pass off used/defective/rejected/counterfeit parts as the real thing.

Repairability laws would actually help here. You would get the same repair shops in the US if Apple was forced to provide schematics & parts at a reasonable cost, with no risk of counterfeits or bad parts.

This is a big deal, and the reason there's so much opposition to right to repair, even beyond Apple. If R2R was a stupid, niche, geeky idea that doesn't bother anyone it would quietly get passed and that would be it, but the reason people are bothered by it and oppose it is because device manufacturers (whether computers or cars or farm equipment) actually make a lot of money off the status-quo.

Hi! Import and export is on my list already. It will be possible to export both in json format (so for example you can move content between blogs in DynaBlogger) and to plain HTML so in the worst case scenario, the user can just export to static pages and publish them quickly on Netlify or something.
Having said that, DynaBlogger doesn't cost me much to run now and it will be even easier once I have a bunch of paying customers, so I am definitely committed to keep it running for as long as I can :)
Some devices like the Magic Mouse become paperweights after the battery fails and cannot be repaired at all.

I think one part of the problem is all of the encouragement and virtue signaling around recycling. A friend told me “Apple is the best tech company for the environment because they recycle more than any others”.

Reduce > Reuse > Recycle

The fact that Apple peripherals are not user repairable is an absolute environmental disaster.
On 1 July 2013, president Evo Morales of Bolivia, who had been attending a conference of gas-exporting countries in Russia, gave an interview to the RT television network in which he appeared predisposed to offer asylum to Edward Snowden.[1] Snowden had fled the United States a month earlier after his disclosure of secret, widespread surveillance by the NSA, for which he faced criminal charges in the United States.

The day after his TV interview, Morales's Dassault Falcon 900, carrying him back to Bolivia from Russia, took off from Vnukovo Airport, but was rerouted to Austria when France, Spain, Portugal and Italy reportedly denied access to their airspace, allegedly due to suspicions that Snowden was on board.

On 3 July, Jen Psaki, spokesperson for the U.S. Department of State, acknowledged that the U.S. had been "in contact with a range of countries across the world who had any chance of having Mr. Snowden land or even transit through their countries".

I’m going to repeat the same thing I always repeat in these threads because it feels like people are out of touch with closed platforms.

To “play” on Xbox or PlayStation, they take a 30% cut.

Steam also takes a 30% cut.

It’s pretty standard, certainly not “exploitative” (at least not on apples part, if not others), though obviously as a game developer I’d prefer it be much less.
I don't know why people are automatically assuming you could just do this with off the shelf starlink sats instead. There's a huge difference between an optical link in LEO that goes a couple 100 km, and the moon which is nearly 400,000 km away. The link has to be bidirectional and I don't see how existing starlink sats would have anything close to the optics or antennas required for that.

Let's not turn enthusiasm for starlink into poo poo-ing all over any other plan for something in space. The ESA just wants concept studies on what might work. That's perfectly reasonable.
I know that most orbits around the moon are unstable because of uneven mass distribution. So I don’t know how the shape of constellation will affect things.
While I don't have the stats to back the latter part up, the expected goal (xG) from a penalty kick is .76 - 76% of penalties end up being scored. Keepers quite often will guess right, and at that point both the placement and power have to be perfect. If they are, it's a goal practically every time, but most players will compromise on either placement or power.

This may be different in recreational contexts, as professional keepers dive frighteningly quickly, and are very good at reading the body language of the PK taker.
I agree. I'm sure Sony, Nintendo, and the MS Xbox division are paying close attention to all these App Store discussions. In some ways, the success of the Apple/Google app stores may lead to the general undoing of all app stores, consoles included.

As I mentioned somewhere else in this thread, the App Store situation is unique. Existing anti-trust doesn't really fit, and it's also not completely good or bad for consumers. I think Apple is taking a big risk here continuing to push the more heavy handed aspects, and all but inviting government (usually heavy handed) regulation.
I think most credit card processors charge something like 30 cents + 2.9%. On large purchases that's about 3%, but on smaller transactions (like those usually used in mobile apps) that 30 cents dominates and could end up being about 30%. So from that perspective Apple's 30% cut could be a good deal in some cases.

Show HN: Direct manipulation flowchart editor without the mouse
Hey HN, I made this because I wanted a fast editing experience when making flowcharts. Other tools (bottom)require clicking and dragging (or editing code). Knotend is keyboard centric and is supposed to feel more like editing a doc than dragging around boxes and arrows.

I've tested in on safari and chrome desktop. Its difficult to use on mobile but you can view existing charts.

I'd appreciate your feedback on how you use it, the design, any bugs etc. Thank you.

Steam is a better example as Epic is operating at a loss position to disrupt the incumbent.

> unittests are a first class keyword in D, which makes writing tests easy, therefore people actually write tests. This feature is maybe a 100 line diff to most compilers, and yet basically only D exploits that fact.

I'm interested in how this makes the testing experience much easier. In most of the modern languages I've used setting up tests is a similar amount of words (Elixir, Rust) or one-time fifteen minute task (Kotlin). In all of those there are options for tightly-integrated testing environments, but they're not (entirely) literally in the compiler so you can make your own competing one.
13 months improves some things, but it does not work well for 4 seasons.

There are two definitions of seasons. In the simpler one, they start March 1, June 1, September 1, and December 1. (In the other, they are truer to astronomy and start about 20 days later.)

With 13 months in a year, that would be a lot messier.

Since there is symmetry to the year, it makes sense to divide it into a number of pieces that works well with that symmetry. 12 pieces makes sense because it's a multiple of 4.

If you look at the length of days as a function of year, it resembles a sine wave. You wouldn't create a unit of angular measurement where one full circle is 13 units. (You'd have trig identities like sin(x+13/4)=cos(x)!) There would be similar disadvantages if you divided a year into 13 pieces.
Let me bring in a story from the history. Plane of Bolivian president was forced to land in Viena in July 2013 in when it was suspected that Snowden is on the board after France and Portugal forbid it flying through their air space. I strongly belive that Russian propaganda will use that incident as a leverage.

Watch a single video that's even remotely related to the topics you watched before and your entire suggestion history will be back (even those unrelated to the single video you watched).

When they see a new profile they are basically testing the waters. They suspect it's you, but leave the benefit of the doubt in case it's a legitimately new user. But just giving them a few "fuzzy" data points like watching a video or two will give them enough confidence to fully link your previous activity to the new session despite never providing any concrete evidence such as logging in with the same account.
I don’t mean to pick on one field in particular, but last year I made the throwaway comment to a FB post “arXiv is the new businesswire”.

The number of academic “big shots” (friends of the poster, not of me) who “liked” the comment was a bit alarming.

There’s too much incentive for fudging things (depending on your field, either grants or company funding).

The degree of fraud in Chinese journals is high and well discussed (as it should be). But apart from a small amount of hand-wringing over “the replication crisis” there is no similar condemnation of the work in the rest of the world.
Is that comment inaccurate?
Yeah, I have to say I've had good experiences. Im literally plugged into a battery right now that was unlike other options I could find in terms of form factor and capacity: 3 usb a, usb c, lightning, power delivery, micro usb, and super flat (to better fit in a bag). I suppose it's in the good experience that I was blind to the other "review-stuffing" activities.
>treating the silver ink on a hot plate at 100–120C produces acceptably conductive patterns

Therein lies the rub:

>the ideal resistivity of the silver ink traces would be less than 5 times that of bulk silver.

>The ideal resistivities were not met, and the resistivity of the sample ink traces ranged from five to ten times the bulk resistivity.

Hi, could you share some examples of real blogs built on the platform? Thanks
From your Privacy Policy:

"8. Disclosure of Data
We may disclose personal information that we collect, or you provide:

Can you elaborate how you define "private repo" in this context while also stating that my personal information may be shared with "subsidiaries and affiliates" in the context of your Privacy Policy?
No.

Think it through: free apps would not be able to afford the rent, so they would need a discount.

Then in the limit all apps would become free, so as to get the discount.

But some apps would be making a killing with external payment methods, while other apps would be making nothing.

Meantime Apple would also be making nothing.

I would think Apple has thought about this.
Actually, yes. Also, whenever one of us needed a medication he would just write the prescription for what we needed. The only exceptions were if one of us broke a limb. Then he'd take us to a friend doctor who specialized in that sort of thing to fix us up.
It is not, because Apple is not the only supplier of the said commodity (apps). And apps are not only not a basic human right, but you can easilly get them elsewhere - Google, Microsoft.. or just from the web.

What Apple is, is a private corporation with certain standards and rules for their products (which is one of the things that makes them desireable in the first place IMO). You have to obey these rules to get the benefit of their distribution platform. Millions of people end enterprises do because they believe those benefits outweight the cost and risk, us included.

Imagine I want to sell my goods at a local farmer's market. I have to get their approval, obey their rules and pay their fees. It is up to me to wage in pros and cons. We accept that as perfectly normal. If it was the only farmer's market in the country then it would become problematic.

What should happen is that this regulates through market forces. If indeed enough people are in protest of those rules so much that they start voting with their wallets elsewhere, thus hurting Apple's bottomline in a meaningful way, then the market just created pressures for Apple to change those rules.
> The USA, in my opinion, should show leadership and step in to make it clear that such affront against democracy on a neighbour of its closest allies

The USA showed leadership when it contrived a situation where the president of Bolivia's plane was made to land in Austria, to search for someone who leaked to journalists that the US government was monitoring virtually all domestic phone calls, texts, Internet connections etc.

Leadership in an affront against democracy, as you put it.
Glad I deleted my account at the first sign of this sort of user-hostile behavior. Really a shame such a great and needed concept was ruined by poor execution.
