There's been an extensive debate on an external mailing list about standards, and why TCP won over OSI. The free and open nature of IETF had a hell of a lot to do with it.

Among all the other advantages noted here, it leads to a much shorter development cycle and a greater number of people participating -- people whose energy is invaluable.
This reads as they don't have any experience with it and decided to roll their own. I had no experience with kube 3 months ago, we had rancher 1 cluster with 30-50 services, and I just migrated it, just me. Ended up on eks with CNI (pod networking) - Using the lb controller with ip target types and a targetgroupbinding for ingress and its great. Each pod gets its own secondary ip on the ec2 instance automatically. I'm deploying rancher as a management ui.

I also now have a k3s cluster at home. The learning curve was insane, and I hated it all for about 8 weeks but then it all just clicked and it's working great. The arrogance to roll your own without assessing the standard fully speaks volumes. Candidates figured that out and saw the red flag.. Writing your own image bootstrapper... What about all the other features, plus the community and things h things like helm charts.
It seems a shame to downvote someone who is so genuinely trying to help in this situation. The moment the populace falls for 'far right' rhetoric, it becomes, by definition, centric rhetoric, in the same way that what was once 'left' rhetoric is now being called right-wing because the center has moved so far left. De-platforming and de-humanizing are the playbook by which every totalitarian government, no matter its political colors, has established itself. Be wary listening to anyone who suggests these as a genuine solution, no matter what they wave in solidarity.
First, I never said that. Please read my comment again. Second, Starlink exists to fund the start of a permanent self-sustaining colony of millions of people on Mars. I'm not sure how they would get to that without also doing and supporting a lot of astronomy research along the way.
It's a page rule, available at every plan level (I just checked the docs). Might be a problem if you've already used up your quota of page rules at a given level, but otherwise, no big deal.

Enterprise is largely about very high levels of bandwidth use, serving non-Webpage traffic, and all kinds of advanced networking features. It's also a hell of a jump in price from the $200/m top-tier "self-serve" plan (which is also the only self-serve plan with any SLA whatsoever, so, the only one any business beyond the "just testing the waters" phase should be on)
How about: Boston - New York - Philadelphia - Washington - Chicago?
The US doesn't build high speed rail between large cities that are a medium distance apart either.
> You can always check out relevant section using the online book or the pdf.

This answer entirely defeats the point of the Primer system. There are already many books and pdfs for leaning Python.

> For self-learning, imho, constraints are good.

I would argue that for a self-learner, self-imposed constraints are a good thing.

The externally imposed constraints of the Primer system defeat the greatest advantage of self-learning; that the student can control, prioritize and take ownership of his learning program.
>Meditation has always been a deeply spiritual practice; Mindfulness attempts to turn it into a psychological, clinical one.

Interestingly this is covered in the context of psychedelics too (which in my opinion are often touted in a similarly misleading way) by Dr Rick Strassman's fascining DMT: The Spirit Molecule. Making things like this too clinical or for lack of a better word mundane can alter their effects enormously.
True, but you can also make a career out of preying on these types.
I was a big advocate for Docker-as-deployment-packaging for a long time, and cautious about Kubernetes. I imagined building something like Ably describes would be the most practical.

I was wrong. What I didn't understand is how easy kubernetes is to use for the application developers. It's the most natural, seamless way to do Docker-as-deployment-packaging.

If you're going to have infrastructure guys at all, might as well have them maintain k8s.
1. At a quick skim, the opening sentence can seem critical of "leftists".

2. The opening sentence a couple of paragraphs down seems critical of "capitalism".

Hacker News is better than most forums on the contemporary Internet. But even here, I believe that most readers are just skimming most of the comments. And at a quick skim, keywords that make you angry jump off the screen more prominently than ideas you might agree with.

There was a time in which expressing critiques of "all sides" made one sounds more reasoned, or credible. But today, if you seem to be throwing shade on the left AND on capitalists in the same comment, then it's kind of a crapshoot. Either someone will upvote it, and a hive will follow suit, or the opposite. You're as likely to just piss everyone off as you are to seem balanced.
> The vast universe of freely available junk and time wasters available now is a radical shift from even my early childhood, when there were distractions, but they were not purposely made addictive by teams of psychologists and programmers to increase the profits of huge corporate advertising behemoths

If you were born in and living in this generation, for any living generation younger than maybe the Baby Boomers, that's only even potentially technically true because the teams optimizing stickiness of entertainment of all kinds including youth entertainment, didn't involve programmers (in the computing sense) until fairly recently. But they absolutely have for a long time included psychologists, and the have been serving the intereste of corporate behemoths including in the advertising field.

If you’re interested in the topic, I recommend the MIT living wage research [1]. They’ve got probably the most useful calculator, letting you compare multiple scenarios.

Why would Adobe do this?

My guess: Autodesk. Maya and Max are Autodesk's cash cows. Blender is attack said cash cows and thus weakening Autodesk who Adobe might be seeing as a competitor in other realms. Weak reasoning I know. At such a low dollar sponsorship it could just be Adobe uses Blender for their commercials or something else trivial.
I haven’t used node red, but primarily program PLCs in function block or ladder logic.

If your problem can be well represented by a block diagram or transfer function then it probably lends itself to function block programming. The visual animation of the logic is very helpful to me in understanding the influence of different components on the final result and troubleshooting misoperating machines.
From another source, on the economics of Maglev trains:

https://www.globaltimes.cn/page/202107/1229097.shtml

China's speediest 600 km/h maglev rolls off assembly line in Qingdao city

...

But Zhao Jian, a professor with Beijing Jiaotong University, said that it is unlikely to export China's maglev train and relevant technologies in the near future, as other countries lack the scale to make the maglev lines profitable.

"The maglev lines can earn money only when a network of high-speed transportation is formed, with huge passenger flows," Zhao told the Global Times on Tuesday.
This was the sort of stuff that Readcube did that I was amazed by, but this being open and lighter makes it far cooler.
More people switch to Linux, gaining developer attention, in turn more developers support their software for Linux.
Exactly. I've never heard a guy say "she would be cute if she wore some mascara" or "I can't believe she's not wearing lip liner".

I learned long ago that woman "get pretty" either for other woman or for themselves.
Yeah but only software engineers care about "good" code. Everyone else just wants their software to do it's job. If you can train AI to write code which is going to get the right outputs, it will win.

AI can probably also beat humans in terms of things like performance optimization. An AI can write code a human never would. We have to write short functions and well-factored code which fits in the human brain. An AI could theoretically write millions of lines of highly-specialized spaghetti which is perfectly correct and perfectly optimized.
Yep - Lumberyard was just partially rewritten / open sourced under the "Open 3D Engine Foundation" with the LF -- just announced like a week ago or something:

> First up is a Flow Debugger. This acts like regular code debuggers, but at the flow level. You can set breakpoints on node ports, either inputs or outputs. Then, whenever a message arrives at a breakpoint, it pauses either at that node, or the entire runtime.

Really dig the developer experience upgrades.

Btw, I'd long ignored Node-RED because it was synchronous. Turns out the big change as they dropped 1.0 ~2 years ago was switching to an asychronous processing model. This makes it far more interesting imo. https://nodered.org/blog/2019/08/16/going-async

I’d ask their name and call them that.

I’m under no obligation to recognize anyone as anything but an average human without proof they’re actually skilled as they claim.

Titles are political euphemism. I want to know someone’s profile to know who I am dealing with. You’re a doctor? Of ants. Not helpful when I need someone that studied human anatomy.

None of these titles explain the training involved. The honestly gained skill set based on direct learning.

Bezos isn’t a genius; he’s a politically elevated person due to financial success. Humans will never live among the stars as the meat bags we are; far more likely we etch a simulated human consciousness into a new medium than adapt this biology. We’re just watching one guy get his jollies off at our political expense.

Titillate the masses to keep them politically disorganized. Humans used to wage holy wars, invade other nations to do that. Now it’s engineering and economic spectacle.

What a trivial and boring people I live among. Collectively setting themselves aside to ogle this stuff.
Sorry, but that is totally factually incorrect. I am a Hungarian citizen and there are many well known and worrisome circumstances about Fidesz's electoral victories:

- The election system has been changed in a way that overcompensates the winner. Fidesz is supported by about 50% of the voting population, yet it has a 2/3-s supermajority which enables them to pass any law they wish without any resistance.

- Fidesz has built up a MASSIVE database of the voting population over the years, basically they can tell the voting preferences for each home address. There is video evidence of this, I am not talking out of my ass.

- Based on this database large scale gerrymandering took place in the past years.

- The governing body overseeing the elections is run by long standing Fidesz cadres. Many polling districts especially in rural areas only had Fidesz-affiliated polling-clerks during the last election.

- Thousands if not tens of thousands of Ukrainian citizens (many of whom have Hungarian ancestry, but many do not) have been registered in the Eastern part of the country with voting rights. They are eligible for pensions multiple times the amount they would receive from the Ukrainian government because of an old agreement made bw the Soviet Union and Hungary. In exchange they are voting for Fidesz. Again, this may sound like bullshit, but it is a documented fact.

- Small cities are told that they won't get any EU funding from the government if they elect a non-Fidesz mayor.

- There is a massive amount of very poor people dependent on government distributed "public work" in the countryside. It's basically modern day servitude. These people are also often threatened that if they vote the "wrong way" they will not get work.

- Most of the relevant news outlets (TV, Radio, Newspapers, online media) are owned by Fidesz-frienly businesspeople and they are in 24-7 propaganda mode. I am talking about 1950-s style Stalinist propaganda, not some kind of "pro-government bias". There have been by now basically one TV station and a handful of small websites left that are not controlled by Fidesz.

- And add to that that any opposition leader, any journalist critical towards Fidesz or any businessman who is not part of their circles can be monitored by these spy softwares and then you will understand what the term "hybrid regime" stands for.

Yes there are elections every four years, but they are just for show.
I was referring to Poland, but I am now even more intrigued as I never explored Hungary's history as much. Thank you for sharing the books -- I added them to my reading list.

Can you expand on the Poland and Finland?

Yes, and that’s why you keep home and business addresses separate.

There are established procedures for law enforcement to contact ISPs to get the required information and that’s when you present your logs.

It's not as if adobe is a singular person whom makes strategic decisions on what projects the company donates to. Someone in the company wants to donate to blender foundation, so they do. Case closed.

An exec at John Deere donated 500,000 to a 501c3 (non lobbying) for right to repair, which John deer the company matched. Doesn't mean the company is going to be supporting it anytime soon.

If we want to get into hypotheticals, it's within adobies line of products to get into 3D. Maybe they want to look into copy+pasting blender for their product line.
I agree that the question further up did come off as rather paternalistic in a bad way but their central point has merit: by continuing to support his wife's decision to work in that environment, doesn't that make him an enabler for the abuse?
One person living up to a stereotype is sadly enough to validate that stereotype in the eyes of those who want to believe that stereotype is true. If a certain group of people want badly enough to believe a stereotype, they'll freakin' track down that one and point them out as proof of their belief.
Who said I was convinced or wanted to convince others? I was just curious. Chill! I don't believe in dowsing, I just had an interesting experience which I wanted to pass on.
> Right now, if I don't want to drive, my only option is to fly mostly in a shitty plane cramped up with strangers on a 4 hour flight.

Would high speed rail be that different? Not being snarky, I really don't know. I just figure that if it's very fast and/or expensive, it's probably not going to be very roomy on the inside. That Chinese train looks like it's about the same width or less than most airliners.
Giant satellite swarms will enable space based astronomy at an unprecedented scale. Instead of complaining that we’re putting stuff in space why aren’t astronomers trying to get more telescopes added into next launches? Is there any instrument of astronomy that benefits from being on the surface under the atmosphere instead of up in clear space?

Proprietary software or free/open source software?

I don't see how more proprietary software is something the open source community wants.
I think only where the population density is very high, maglev trains make economic sense: China, Japan, maybe Germany.
Based on my discussions with barber-shops and other lower wage earners... at least in my area... people are still afraid of COVID19 and don't want to work in a public-facing role during a pandemic.

I'm not sure how money would change that. Even if you doubled wages all of a sudden, if people are literally fearing for their lives, you can't actually get them to come in.

-------

In resort areas (beaches, etc. etc.), a lot of these workers were also seasonal. I visited the beach and instead of being greeted by poorly speaking German folk (No offense, but its often obvious when you're interacting with a seasonal worker...) in my favorite restaraunt... I was greeted by Americans (far far fewer of them, because they couldn't find enough workers).

German seasonal part-time workers won't come over because of COVID19. Asking them to risk an airplane flight for some money just isn't worth it.

The nastygram is full of spelling errors too, just to top it off.
Honestly, as necessary as that is, it’s not a magic solution. People are quitting the restaurant industry in France too, despite having none of the tip silliness.

It’s just that people are realizing that there are easier minimum wage jobs than working in a kitchen
If you're interested about that, the "The Calculating Stars" book talks a bit about it. It's really nice to read !

I used the services of such a 'water witch' in India. Not because I trust them, but because of the social 'pressure'. Since friends and relatives use them, I just used them.

When acquifers were not depleted, every 'water witch' was right. Once acquifers are depleted, they are useless. That's how I look at them.
Have you ever worked restaurant or food service? I worked at McDonalds a few years after high school and it was the most demoralizing, depressing, and abusive job I've worked. Bussing tables wasn't much better in comparison either. But at least when bussing tables people didn't talk to you like you were human waste.

I had people actually tell me that I was stupid, I had someone throw an ice cream at me because they were mad I was parking them to wait for their order, I got screamed at far more regularly than you would think. That's just the tip of the iceberg, and management was usually worse.

No exaggeration: I would be homeless before working at McDonalds again. Not because of pride, but because it put me into a really bad depression.
sure, they are, but the bank holding company act (BHCA) restrictions on ownership/source of strength requirements are a kick in the head. You can go the Greendot route (just up and convert yourself to a bank holding company), Varo route (same but get a fresh OCC charter), or take your chances with an ILC application.

In areas like avionics, medical devices etc., there are formal production engineering methods applied to software as a matter of course. It can very work well, but it is definitely expensive compared to industry average.
Your assumptions continue but to be unsupported by sources, but rather, blind fanboyism.

Do you have proof that Starlink profits will go towards funding a Mars colony? Or that research into astronomical observations will be required for building a space colony? Or even if so, the overlap somehow helps astronomers on earth?
> rude customers, whose abuses restaurant staff are often forced to tolerate

Service workers in general, I'd love it if more managers and companies would support front line workers in refusing service. The customer is not always right. People should not have to put up with literal abuse.

The Alamo Drafthouse theater is famously known for kicking someone out who was using their cell phone and other customers appreciate it.
It looked like they were going about 15-16mph when they hit the ground. That looked a bit rough as well. They seem to have done fine, but I can't imagine that it was comfortable.

> Interestingly enough I normally recommend people avoid Kubernetes, if they don't have a real need, which most don't.

I would have agreed with this statement 2 years ago but now I think K8s has been commoditized to the point where it makes sense for many organisations. The problem I have seen in the past is that every team rolls their own orchestration using something like Ansible, at least K8s brings some consistency across teams
That may be true for NASA and maybe the wealthiest and most connected universities and research centers. But that doesn't really help smaller universities or amateur astronomers.

Not to mention that getting a telescope the size of the Keck telescopes into space probably won't be feasible for a long time (although without air pollution you would get similar quality with a slightly smaller telescope). And even ignoring the cost of launch space telescopes are likely more expensive due to needing to deal with the extremities of space like temperature regulation and dealing with cosmic rays (which besides interfering with the computers, also cause noise in the CCD cameras).
If you want to go that far, you might as well mention how the "American Dream" has been dying since 2008 and took a major shock in 2020. Why work hard and bust your butt in a country and real economy that is falling apart and currently has no long-term prospects?

Were you only paid if you didn’t work? From what I understood the checks were given to everyone?
I seriously question "massively profitable", especially if you do it as a private company. You'd have to buy the right-of-way, and then pay taxes on it every year. That's some pretty expensive real estate. Then, the maintenance requirements on high-speed rail are pretty stringent. That costs, too. It's not just the cost of the train crews and the electricity (or fuel) that you have to think about.

If you've got real numbers, I'd like to see them.

In theory, more people with artistic and multimedia jobs would be able and/or willing to use Linux.

Regardless, I think Bezos is viewed in a worse daylight simply because of the way he used Amazon to exploit their workers and being anti-competitive.

Now, that may be true of Musk also in a way, but there is certainly less news about it.
