We use GKE but there's nothing stopping most organisations to do the same.

It doesn't bear much weight though, and I've had experience with other toolings largely to the same effect.

I agree with the sibling comment about upgrades - this is IMO where GKE really shines as a cluster upgrade is mostly a button-pressing exercise.
If the son of a Tencent executive had a video game idea, it has a ton of value.

I don’t know, there are a lot of games out there that are “well executed” that no one plays. Lots of indie developers who repeatedly make hits, and yet still no one finds (or finds) their next game.

These takes are kind of obnoxious.
I found it annoying, even a bit insulting, that they kept referring to the people in the capsule as "astronauts".

I could understand if they did it for Wally Funk, as she actually did the training back in the day, but the rest?

When rich people were allowed in the ISS they were called "tourists", which is befitting.
Well there is much more to do than coding...
They should be doing sales and marketing and other stuff. If they're doing nothing, that's a bad sign
My vacations in the before times were to go to Europe to copy paintings. I sometimes spend a week at an institution just copying paintings, so I get to know the guards. So many of them are spectacular artists in their own right.

In my utopian vision of the world, museum guards are given rolling pedestals and pencils and told to roam the galleries copying. They can pay attention to what's going on around them and draw.

The result is that we have people there to answer questions and make sure nothing bad happens, but also is someone who's just getting better and better at drawing and painting. Then that person can become a great artist in their own right.

Our society's reward is an enormous amount of people who can paint really well. Murals everywhere. Good paintings everywhere.
You're seeing the very first steps of a long race.

They absolutely were. There's at least half a dozen mentions that the technique doesn't work and multiple quotes from geologists. There's no reason to believe that the witches themselves are intentional scammers as opposed to true believers in what they're doing, but it's made abundantly clear that they're providing a worthless service.

I don't understand your argument. Britain voted to leave, and they left.

People can 'call' for whatever they like. In this case the demand was related to the refererendum being on a nebulous idea without any clear idea on how to implement it. No-one would ever seriously suggest having a referendum on a Trade deal or Treaty before the negotiations had even started. The idea of having a referendum on the final deal was hardly a crazy one.
Just an FYI to people who might not be in the know, this is Jamey Stegmaier of Stonemaier Games, and he is known for being one of the most transparent and candid board game publishers in the business, and his blog is seen by many as essential reading if you want to publish your own games (especially Kickstarter, back when he did that).

The publisher has a lot of dedicated fans as a result, and several of their games have been extremely well received (Scythe, Viticulture, and Wingspan in particular).
For 4 years I had Static site generated in Hugo git/CI deployed to CloudFront/S3. Then the team wanted to move and moved to hubspot, it was simply harder to find and train marketing talent who is ready to learn git or even HTML. Far easier to find hubspot/WordPress designer/developers/content writers . Also it becomes easy to blame on the unfamiliar thing your company uses when things don't work for them the way they want it to.

I have known teams move to back to very simple default wordpress hosting from more advanced stacks.

My point is it harder to get your marketing dept to upgrade tech even if we could do it.

I have learnt over the years that solutions that have to be for the people who will use everyday, even if it's poorly managed WordPress.

In your example You or your SRE/devops will do all the basic configuration tunning pretty much out of the box. Your IT dept may not be able to at all or unless someone tells them to
Ah yes... phantasia :)
Less than 10 percent of companies have a risk score above 80. Our historical testing shows that around 1/3rd of companies with scores above 80 turn out to be fraudulent. (It is hard to test this so this might be an overestimate)
Not all psychological trauma is necessarily due to abuse.

When my wife was pregnant and we didn't know the gender yet I did a lot of reading on attachment theory and what truth there is to "daddy issues" etc. in case it was a girl. It's a trope, but there's something to it.

As it turns out we have a lovely baby boy. Now, to avoid traumatizing him...
You're assuming a clean dichotomy between idea-person and execution-person, where 100 percent of the valuable work is done by the person writing the code, and where the idea and domain knowledge required to grasp that idea can be explained quickly. For a lot of businesses this is just wrong.
The Space Race is still happening, but it's happening on other planets and with government money (see: Mars and further afield exploration). All these initiatives have been possible by the heavy lifting of NASA and other international government agencies over the last 6 decades.

Theses newcomers have drawn in attention and effort and are trying to reframe space as a business being funded by revenue - which has trade offs but in general is a positive development. The really challenging work without the glamor is still being down by the scientists and research agencies with the government. I do tip my hats to the accomplishments of all three of the new comer organizations. I just dispute that the narrative that they are driving the future. I think they are complementary.

To be clear - they don't have enough money to "solve" space exploration - it takes deeper capital than they have - though they are bringing a new business model to potentially stretch their capital deployments.
I find it awfully sad and depressing how people on the internet pile onto a company that tells an opposing view without reading or discussing further into their choices.

Instead it is easier to to critique the low hanging fruit point rather than discussing their actual reason for not using this 'kubernetes' software.

So is their blog the main product? If not, then the 'their blog gone down lol' quips are irrelevant.

I found their post rather interesting and didn't suffer any issues the rest of the 'commenters' are facing.

I'll break it to you that there is one problem with all the public natural language APIs.

"They suck"

That is, accuracy is a big problem in the languages that they are well-tested and well-trained in. Enough that these APIs have little or no real value in English or Chinese.

Why should I "test" an API for you in an obscure language that will surely prove to be "not fit for purpose"?
I second this. I've deployed Metabase once and almost immediately requests for data started coming out of the woodwork, from folks who previously had no knowledge of what kind of information was available or how to ask for it. Visibility is called that for a reason.

It's also really easy to self-host. Download the .jar. Whack it on a machine with a wireguard VPN and a route to the DB or somewhere suitable in the cloud. Create a read-only credential. Letsencrypt it & bless it with a DNS name, ideally with some internal-only IP address. Invite your boss to view some live stats on what's happening with the live product. Wait a day or so for them to request that some other underling also gets access or that some Metabase query gain some formal role in a business process. Also watch them have the best week of their manager life, with every kind of stat at their fingertips.
I do not think I am smarter than anyone else. It's just that some things you know better and other things you don't. I worked with the team lead for several months, and really enjoyed it. He was smart and a very good team lead.

Node-RED is one of the coolest pieces of software I've ever used. It's so fun to build with and really powerful-- it's truly a secret weapon. It's included I believe by default on most raspberry pi's too.

Some of the main contributors (Nick O'Leary & others) of the project evidently are cooking something up on top of Node-RED: https://flowforge.com/
Bezos sells ~$1B of his Amazon stock per year to finance it.
Googler, opinions are my own.

My corner of the world has ~100 people working on it and we do a mix of unit tests and integration tests. We definitely use mocks, but prefer fakes where possible. I really like our unit tests to poke and prod the corners of a given small section of code.

Our integration tests are just that, and they serve their purpose as well. But being able to stress all underlying parts of the system with all possible inputs at the integration test level is really really hard (if not impossible).

Many times, the way a system currently is can't push the corners of some helper class deep down, and you won't find those until someone makes some change in an intermediary layer. Making sure things are working at both the micro and macro level seems like the best way to go. But there is the obvious tradeoff of time it takes to do this.

Other teams we work with are write only integration tests. While it mostly works, I would say that it's harder for someone else to come into the code base and make changes. Unit tests help people understand how the code is expected to work today and how their changes may impact that. Integration tests won't always catch those kinds of things (plus tend to be way longer to run, which makes iteration time longer).
A writer said once "People are always coming to me and saying they have a great idea for a story. If I write it, we can split the proceeds. I tell them that's like I'm a boxer and you know a guy I can fight. If I fight him, we can split the money."
I deliberately removed the "static" methods, so that above would not be allowed. Why I found that to be a good idea is a longer discussion.

The main motivation why it is nice to have it this way is that it's straightforward to understand what the type is when doing `&Point.add`. I have considered a `this` but it's not felt super important to have. Also, note that this is allowed: `Point *x = null; x.doSomething();` - this is made more obvious by taking the reference as an explicit parameter.
I enjoyed the appropriately new phrase mentioned in the article “… gives a start of the art result…”
The title of this should be changed to match the article: "How an Unproven Alzheimer’s Drug Got Approved".

If you think government regulation of food and drugs is a good thing and decisions about drug approvals can never be politically motivated, think again.
I think this depends a lot on whom you think things aren't being made clear to. Given who the NYT audience is (72% have a university degree, 91% identify as Democrats), I think most of the readership is going to be in the pro-science mindset.

More that that, regular readers of anything learn to interpret in context. E.g., I've long read The Economist. People reading one article there might see them as dull. But as a regular reader, I know they can be brutal; you just have know which particular dry turns of phrase indicate the brutality. I think most NYT subscribers will know how to parse NYT articles and pick up the condescension and undermining in the article.
Thanks for the links. I have to say, getting hit with an ad right as ignition was about to take place really encapsulated the whole experience for me. What a (weird) time to be alive.

DeepMind’s AlphaFold2 Predicts Protein Structures with Atomic-Level Accuracy
it was a nice improvement. that's fine. But it's ultimately just statistical modelling based on deep evolutionary information. It only works on homology modelling, it doesn't actually solve the larger protein structure prediction problem. Therefore it's not groundbreaking but a significant improvement.
I tried it on the PinePhone, it's almost completely unusable.

1. The keyboard just won't open ~50% of the time. I had to do all sorts of hacky things to get it to open

2. The web browser Angelfish is no where near fully featured. The one good thing is that it has a built in adblocker.

3. For about a month whenever I restarted the phone it would be completely black. I had to bring it into a dark room and plug it in for me to be able to barely see anything. Then I could raise the brightness. An update fixed this

4. A lot of the apps just don't open

5. All sorts of random bugs/missing features, in the music player, the file explorer, etc.

This isn't a bad thing. It is a work in progress and I hope that it will continue to improve. Ubuntu Touch has worked the best for me.

As far as I can remember now, I was also not 100% sure about my answer, because I did need to look it up later to confirm that I was right. So maybe I just took the easy road and answered what I knew they wanted to hear.
I'd like to stress the "_may happen_" in the parent's post. I'd argue that in Czech Republic the state TV (ČT) works well so far. One cannot filter out out biases from journalism completely, but in general the quality of production is a good indicator to me that they do have processes in place which try to address some biases. In my eyes on average ČT wins compared to the private TV stations in the country.

“Truth is singular. Its 'versions' are mistruths.”
― David Mitchell, Cloud Atlas

A recent narrative that has been pushed to people is that "truth is relative", leading to today's landscape.

Can't we use data to make people think and reach a common truth? We can't entirely get rid of manipulators, but it is less likely if the scientific method is properly applied.

Ultimately it comes to the integrity of the society backing the information, which is deteriorating, resulting in a feedback loop.

I think at the present time, software can be more like science than sociology.

Both suffer from abstraction.

I think psychology when closer to biology is similar to programming like running the programming language C experiments.
I was on the train a week ago. Of the three of us sitting at the table who got on at Boston, one was going to Philadelphia, one was going to Wilmington, and one was going to Baltimore.

One of the chief advantages of trains is that you do not have to cater only to point-to-point routes; you can instead serve a combinatorial explosion in routes for comparatively little time: a stop adds only ~5 minutes to a HSR train, and that's the worst-case scenario.

There is no advantage to bypassing Philadelphia: the amount of money it costs to bypass the city is going to be quite large, and you will miss out on all the potential revenue from stopping at the city itself. From my practical experience riding the train, the biggest factor in existing slow trains in Connecticut isn't all the stops it makes in Connecticut, but the incompetence of Metro North's dispatching that keeps a high-speed train plodding along below highway speeds between stations.

(Also, side note: Philly's MSA is larger than Boston's, and Philly provides more Amtrak riders than Boston's 4 stations combined--and one of those isn't even on the NEC!).

I was responding to a comment about billionaires in general, and have not mentioned any individual billionaires so I'm not sure what you are referring to.

The only capitalist in particular I defended was my father in law. Actually his father as my father in law was a child at the time. His father was a farmer that committed the terrible crime of renting out some of his land instead of letting it lie fallow. He and his whole family worked incredibly hard in a small village in Hebei until they were evicted from their farm by the Communists.

Don't run your own cluster, unless you do it to learn. If you're in the cloud, just use a managed instance and focus on building software.
1) It’s a false dichotomy. There are more paths forward other than “tolerate <ally>’s misbehavior” and “let <perceived threat> control the region”. The fact that this line is used by those who want more power should make anyone wary.

2) Tolerating the gross misbehavior of one state or leader because you perceive them as a bulwark against other worse leaders is an extremely foolish course. Not only does it expose ones ideals as being hollow and situational, but it often creates new problems that must be contained later.
Why's that? As a California resident, I'm very interested in local pseudoscience. As the article suggests, there's an important contrast between the Bay Area's high-tech reputation and what's happening in the region.

This kind of issue is the reason why some more modern languages like Rust or Go do not have implicit narrowing conversions. For instance, on Rust, trying to simply pass an usize (Rust's equivalent of size_t) to a function which expects an i32 (Rust's equivalent of int) will not compile; the programmer has to write "size as i32" (Rust's equivalent of "(int) size"), which makes it explicit that it might truncate the value at that point.

(Some Rust developers argue that even "size as i32" should be avoided, and "size.try_into()" should be used instead, since it forces the programmer to treat an overflow explicitly at runtime, instead of silently wrapping.)
Sure, but their marketing still claims security.
I had the joyous experience of not just having someone else implement my idea (they didn't steal it, it wasn't that original); but having their implementation be in all ways better than I'd imagined making. Theirs was great. And flopped utterly. I heard they dumped something like $500k and a year into it, where my utter failure only took a couple weeks. :)

Apparently me and the person at their ship behind that project were the only people in the world interested in the idea.
Show me a country where democracy properly, comprehensively works to constrain the cancerous appetite of capitalists. Yes, some European countries, or Japan, or some other outliers do it much better, but not well enough for their capitalism to be fundamentally different from that of the US.

Furthermore, on a global scale, the trends of increased energy demand, increased population growth, increased carbon emissions, increased ecosystem degradation, to name just a few of the main actors, are overwhelmingly positive, and hence these are global issues that affect the sustainability of the entire global society. It doesn't matter if Luxembourg or Sweden develops a socdem utilitarian net-zero utopia, they are just a blip on the radar. All of the third-world countries that the first world exploited over the past centuries in order to fuel their own growth & industrialism, are now all fervently contributing to the above trends, to the extent that all of the first world's recent attempts to dial back their consumption, emissions & so on are laughably futile.

The only possible way to change these trajectories would be for the majority of capitalists across the world to all drastically alter their priorities and how they operate, but this is absolutely not plausible, given that no corporation has ever not sought to increase its profit and growth every quarter; if they somehow hypothetically did, the system would come tumbling down and simply cause collapse even sooner.
Yes, that was my experience back when stuff like HP-UX, Aix and Solaris was commonly deployed.

There is no laptop to run code on, laptop is only for SSH and X Windows server, or cloud shell in modern "mainframes".

Nowadays one can make it one level up my having a CI/CD wall between the development environment and the actual stages, thus whatever one uses to develop must also be available on the stages, which contractors can only access with the help of hands from internal employees.
This could be a nice end of the conversation as it was obviously meant to be but now I feel very curious about this:

Investing in Titan
I love the little nugget in the mitigations section. You can plug the hole for a normal filesystem, but then FUSE filesystems have an additional problem: "if an attacker FUSE-mounts a long directory (longer than 8MB), then systemd exhausts its stack, crashes, and therefore crashes the entire operating system (a kernel panic)."

If there's one place other than the kernel where truly defensive programming should be applied, it is systemd.
