It really depends on what your goals are the right way to engage if you get mobbed.

I operate on two rules of thumb in this space:

1) you have absolutely zero control over the mob. The mob is a force of nature. They will decide you are the most important thing for several hours, and then they will change their minds. Or they won't. Point is, you can't control it.

2) The most important thing is to not be surprised by a mob about yourself. If you're going to get mobbed, may it at least happen because of something you intended to communicate, not because of a flippant thought shouted into the global-cast megaphone that is Twitter.

It's a very typical kind of piece that starts with a self-evident, humble truism, i.e. "If you don't have anything to apologize for don't, if you do, apologize", and a Hamilton example to kind of obfuscate the tone and then the actual message comes when you bring in Andy Ngo and the 'far-left'.

Even the beginning is silly. Bringing up the cultural revolution followed by "obviously I don't intend to compare anything to the cultural revolution". Okay, then what's the point? It's how all of these articles work.
That's so sad.
One of the worst, bazooka in knife fight moment was when I interviewed for a company that was a medium scale direct to consumer streaming service that was built some custom resource to create one pod per user, their worst case scenario was where they would have around 1000 concurrent users.
imo the standout of that era was the Abit BP6 board that let you run dual celerons and overclock the hell out of them. The p2's had half speed cache on those slot cards, and the celerons usually beat them in my real world applications on memory latency.
This is something that I can’t show numbers for but it seems likely that the absolute number of jobs of people who do “build software” has likely increased with time, it’s just that the number of “glueing frameworks” jobs have increased by a lot more so you’re probably just in the wrong category. It seems difficult to think that there aren’t thousands of network engineers keeping the internet backbone humming along.

I think people outside Canada don't realize how bad our healthcare system is. They get caught up in the "free" part and dont realize that it also comes with all the baggage of a government administered institution, and that there are no alternatives. Socialized healthcare is a big advantage for people who can't otherwise pay for it, but if your job or circumstances put you in a position where you can afford private healthcare, Canada has nothing to offer, and healthcare is a net negative. I'm told that Europe is different and there are private options.
Alternately maybe the overwhelming social pressure doesn’t necessarily make an opinion true, just popular, or everyone else who agrees is just as scared to risk their careers etc as he is.
Thanks for the article. Curious how you ensure dev outputs match up with other (external) deadlines, for example, the sales/marketing teams firing up a promotion of your new functionality.

How do you incentivise devs to hit those timeframes?
Here's a coinbase user graph, looks like nice growth to me.

One use case is digital gold. Gold is a ~$12tr market. While gold is a nice conductor and looks good in jewelry, most of gold's value is attributed to store of value and hedge against inflation.

Bitcoin does what gold does, but better. It simply needs time to catch up, but yes, the use case is ironically buying Bitcoin and sitting on it to preserve monetary value from debasement.
Are you trying to compare MLK's rousing and elegant speeches with the nastiness that gets sent over Twitter by these mobs?

I don't think Musk, Bezos, or Bransen are going to be solving war anytime soon. We can be concerned about human suffering while also being exciting about this possible incredible step forward for humanity. I could go to space in my lifetime, that's incredible to me and fills me with hope.

But like people, the circumstances matter. VSCode dropping the ball once has to be weighed against why it happened, what they were doing to prevent it from happening, etc. If it happened more, you’d lose trust in that feature, but it’s hard to leave something over a single feature that’s buggy. I can’t think of another text editor I’d rather be using.

For me, I don’t rely on this feature because I normally save anything that I want to keep for longer than a day. My PoV is that anything that isn’t backed up is already lost, so if it really matters, I need more than just hoping my software and hardware won’t fail. Dropping unreliable software is still always an improvement, but if I dropped every piece of software that ever failed me, I would have no software.
Correct me, but I'd dare say admins have been rebooting their machines and running services without geographic redundancy for decades. Uptime was still very high.
At a previous company we had Series C financing and enough people to take over two floors of an office building... and our entire SaaS offering for hundreds of white-label business customers ran fine on a couple of big load-balanced EC2 VMs and one big Postgres database with some read replicas.
Yup! I used to feel exactly as you do, and I make it my business to understand what is below the abstraction besides because some old habits die hard (and because I just like this stuff, tbh). But I started working at places with the kind of conservation and pre-testing that make that much less critical. Those organizations also that pay a great deal of money for the kind of support to make knowledge a habit of curiosity and personal fulfillment rather than save-the-worlding.

I haven't needed to do something like that in production, as opposed to pre-production deployment suss-out, since (and I went and checked my enough to be sure) 2017. Though, to be fair, I've been working in devrel since last August, so call it four years of rooting around in the trenches, not five. ;)
But for short-sightedness at DEC and Xerox, things might have been different indeed. Unfortunately, DEC hamstrung their micros until it was too late, and Xerox's pie-in-the-sky machines at PARC were expensive enough that their real-world offering was the 820, a me-too 8-bit CP/M system that came out just in time to be stomped by the PC.
The context of this rant by now is academic problems, not your attempts to distract from them.
"I don't know what to think when I meet engineers who know TCP/IP but don't quite understand how photons are transmitted over fiber."

"I don't know what to think when I meet engineers who know UNIX but don't quite understand assembly."

What you quoted is tantamount to the lament of a dinosaur that has ample time to observe the meteor approaching and yet refuses to move away from the blast zone.

Less facetiously: the history of progress in most domains, and especially computing, is in part a process of building atop successive layers of abstraction to increase productivity and unlock new value. Anyone who doesn't see this really hasn't been paying attention.
You really seem to be popping up all over this thread with personal attacks on strangers.

This priest is paid through donations from believers, yet actively engaged in behaviors that are abhorrent to the church. If nothing else, it's immoral, and he should have removed himself from that role long ago
I'm just following the OPs line of reasoning.
A downvote can be to express disagreement - it might be that people think regardless of firing, you should often just ignore the so-called mob. Griping about downvotes will likely attract more.
The drone story is only in the last 2 paragraphs of the article.

I've a dumb question as I don't use salesforce daily persay, however I feel our corporate intranet has been 'upgraded' to use a CRM style interface which may be salesforce SW as the backend, which I suspect purely as the url names have *force in them. To load the main home/landing page there must be 10 redirects, taking many seconds. It just feels so bloated to use - so is this the norm for salesforce SW, or is it the case we may be using something else entirely, that is itself bloated?
I jumped from Evernote to a directory of text files, and from there to Bear.

Bear is exactly what I want, more or less - a Markdown notes app. Fairly minimalistic but what's there is well refined.

The only downside is that it's MacOS/iOS/iPadOS only and it syncs via iCloud. For me that's not an issue at the moment but obviously, that could be a real problem.

However, the export feature is very complete and robust. So, I do not feel trapped.
There’s a great “In Our Time” episode about this area and the archeology going on around it if you’re interested in a listen https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/in-our-time/id73330895...
For me, blinding pain as an every day reality for decades of my life and a long period of unemployment after college makes everyday I’m painfree and employed sweet.

I found a similar attitude reading Dostoevsky and “one day in the life of Ivan Denisovich (sp?)”. They epitomize what I call embracing the struggle and are sort of a take on existentialism. Ie realize you exist in every moment (until your death) as a given and maintain the ability to separate your reaction to a moment for just long enough to consider your reaction to it.
> I’ve known people living in places like Costa Rica, China, and all over Europe. No one had to pay a cent ever.

> How much taxes do you pay to the US?

Anecdata won't get us very far in understanding.

The point is there are plenty (no idea the exact number) of US citizens abroad that pay taxes. If you're making much over ~$110K and don't have significant deductions, you are paying US taxes. As you can imagine these people are typically experienced technical engineers, executives, business owners, etc. True, most US citizens abroad won't go over the ~$110K, but many do.

Either way, you still have the burden of filing taxes in the complex US tax system which is a non-trivial cost in time and resources - in addition to filing taxes in your host country. Is it worth it? Yes, for most, but simplifying the overly complex tax requirements would make it a lot less burdensome for all US citizens at home and abroad.
Standard in what sense? Surely Dart has its specific requirements like any other language. I'm not convinced it's possible to standardize such functionality without limiting yourself to a subset of what you might want to have implemented.
They totally have the right to yell and scream at John Deere all they want.
> Likening modern 'woke' mob outrage on Twitter to Maoist China is the correct analogy.

I would personally rather be cancelled on social media, than having my breathing cancelled.

It's should be possible to disagree and criticize without analogies to various atrocities involving mass murder.

Drawing such parallels is a form of cancelling, as it effectively prevents any defense or discourse on the subject.

Whatever "cancelling" that's going around is not all that new.
Also keep in mind interactive use.

The space-based approach is nicer when working in a repl, even though I probably wouldn't use it.
Is there case law supporting their use? To my knowledge they are not used in court due to accuracy concerns. They are typically used by police in their investigation just to rule out or confirm suspects.

Edit: looks like it varies by state, but most do not allow it.

No, my prediction has nothing to do with a false labour shortage, and everything in common with movie theatres. They were precarious businesses, and there's been a huge shock to both industries from which I don't think most of the individual businesses will recover.

Theatres might have made it, if hollywood wasn't also at an all-time low in customer esteem and (IMO) quality of output.
> In the vast majority of cases, sociopolitical issues are the root cause and throwing money at things doesn't really help.

This ignores the fact that extreme and worsening inequality is the sociopolitical issue people are talking about. That's literally a problem between where the money is and where it should be. Billionaires becoming billionaires by extracting value from the bent backs of workers is actually a problem that can be addressed by just moving money around.

If Bezos built a penis rocket _and_ fed and clothed and cared for the homeless until he only had even 1 billion dollars left, or if he shared his profits with his employees until he only had even 1 billion dollars left, nobody would mind the rocket (though people would still make fun of it for looking like a penis), and 1 billion dollars is still incredibly obscene.
I use Helm because I haven't found another tool that deletes resources in the cluster when I delete them from the yaml. kubectl --prune is unstable and super buggy. I would love to ditch Helm. Is there a tool I should know about that covers this?
I don't know all the ins-and-outs of everything these three companies are working on, but I'm having a very hard time believing that not a single innovative technological has come out Blue Origin or Virgin Galactic. Especially since many Blue Origin employees are former SpaceX employees.
Such a weird thing... If you ever find it let me know!
It's really a beautifully simple and true statement. Hate simply cannot fight hate. Maybe some people are not meant to change in this lifetime. But if anything can help them, it's love. I really believe that. There should be consequences to actions if we want to incentive certain behaviors in society. But consequences don't require hate or even anger.

Hitler may not have been destined to change. But what Daryl Davis does is show these people love. And if you've changed the lives of 200 KKK members - believe me, you've seen it all. You'd be hard press to cherry pick only the nice 200 KKK members.
The difference, is that Dropbox is user-facing software, while Kubernetes is software engineer-facing. Dropbox has to be usable by tech-illterate people. Tech-illiterate people have no idea what a Kubernetes is.

There is value in creating a vertically integrated solution in a space, similar to what Dropbox did, so if you find yourself building many of the pieces of Kubernetes internally, it's worth considering if adopting Kubernetes wouldn't be a more efficient use of resources.
Gotcha, thanks for the additional insights! I never knew about using community bank cards. That's a super interesting strategy. I'll check out Divvy as well, they do seem to pretty similar to Brex/Ramp. Thanks again! Cheers.
They have paid their taxes. Increasing stock prices is not income.
Any large enough pile-on, whether real or orchestrated, pulls in real people with nothing better to do than being outraged at things they have little to no insight into. The bots are just there until the attention is self-sustaining.
> "That’s sort of like trying to nail Jell-O to the wall"

More so every day. It's amusing that US pundits appear to have believed Clinton was dead wrong about this just a few years ago.

The analogy is apt, the Jell-O may seem initially to have been successfully fastened in place for now, and then you are distracted for a moment and it's slipped to the floor again.
How is what AWS doing legal btw? How can they charge people without limits? Isn’t this abusive?
Right. But that doesn’t mean that Kubernetes is the right solution for this set of problems.
I don't think that's true at all about Branson. Almost all the Virgin companies are non-vanity: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virgin_Group#Subsidiaries_and_...
"People like to ..."

Perhaps the reason people question these complicated things is because they are, whether intentionally or not, being marketed to an audience on HN that includes small scale non-enterprise users.

I shall paraphrase others here: A problem does not exist for you simply because it exists for LARGE SCALE ENTERPRISE users.

What I would add to that is there is nothing particularly noteworthy about a large organisation's IT work simply because it is a large organisation or making billions in ad revenue, unless one is also working in a similar organisation. If some organisations are writing the next "Multics", it really should not be interesting to everyone. A single person who can do all the individual tasks you listed is likely to think critically when presented with "news" of organisations where no single individual can do those things. Its like how many Initech Corporation employees does it take to screw in a lightbulb.

I find some of the most interesting work is found in projects started by individual programmers working alone. luajit for example.
Isn't that the purpose of the BAT used in the Brave browser?
This feels like I'm getting phished. :) Pink grapefruit intake? Awfully specific.

Coffee is as strong as I can find. I prefer the taste of robusta beans. Have taken to steamed milk lately, but no sugar.

I'll check out the link you put in the other post. Thanks!
Let's say there is a right to repair and it gets perfectly enforced, doesn't this change the current business model of certain products which heavily relies on repair to profit? Wouldn't it just make those products more expensive to purchase?
I do all of the above with my own jars I've written all by myself and I feel as if it was 10x faster than just scratching the surface of Kubernetes.

Resume driven development is very real if people can't write their own load balancer.

Dr King would have, and always did use love. Not hate.

Collective action is not hate, and change doesn't require hate. Mobs today act out of anger and hate. And that creates more anger and more hate.

It's hard to love people that you perceive as evil - but wow is it ever powerful when you do. Daryl Davis is such a great example of this as another user pointed out.
Just to clarify, those two numbers are both accurate as stated (there were roughly 20K active creators and the average monthly payout was amount 5K).

However, those numbers can't be multiplied to get the monthly payout total.

1. A large portion of active creators made $0 per month.

2. There was a free payout minimum (otherwise you were charged a fee), so a lot of smaller creators would get their payouts every few months.

The total monthly payout was much less than 100M.
I live in one of those high wage (for waiters) countries, tho less bork-bork more crikey, and restaurants are closing left and right, and those still going strong are getting more and more of their revenue from uber-eats & co. More owners are going to realise they can save a fortune on staff and rent if they switch to a kitchen-and-front-desk only business.
Ah BBEdit, the first editor that stole my heart!
Or perhaps having the experience itself ("I survived the jump") is a significant contributor to their not regretting it.

There could even be multiple mechanisms there: "turns out being that close to death is really scary," or "my survival means there is a higher power looking out for me," or "my life flashing before my eyes made me realize something about my life"...

Historically, there was a type of lodging that seems almost perfectly suited to this situation: a boarding house. At least in my southern US city, the last of the ones here were legislated out of existence in the 80s and 90s as part of the war on drugs.
This whole article is, well, a little silly. It says that Kubernetes will disappear and be replaced by something simpler, because it's very difficult to create reliable systems that use it.

But...there are tons of reliable systems at Google, all using Borg, and that has a lot of features Kubernetes doesn't have.

Stripping down Kubernetes doesn't reduce complexity. It just shifts it.
"Undue burden" and good UX is a wide chasm. In the last few months of my last role we went from the 1 account to multiple separating environments and the additional cognitive load and extra work migrating was not trivial (plus trying to keep costs down duplicating things for migration).

I can see how starting with a pattern of "account per X" would create intuitive boundaries. When you say "per service" what kind of service do you mean? Business related web service API? AWS product? Other? Interested in what boundary line made sense for you given the large number of accounts you say you're happy with using.
Airbnb is notoriously bad in NYC. It really only works well in places that are underserved by hotels.
Memory usage is perhaps the easiest to understand. Allocation and deallocation to specific addresses can result in a lot of unusable address space depending on the hardware and OS. There is actually a huge body of work around memory allocation due to such issues.

Ex: Suppose you are allocating memory for a growing array. It’s allocated (+) and deallocated (-) in sequence. So +1000, then +1001, -1000, creating a (1000 wide gap at the start) but your next +1002 doesn’t fit in the gap. you now have 1001 bytes of allocated but due to fragmentation in effect 2001 are used up. This one isn’t that bad the second time around you you have a 2001 byte wide free space, but in more complex situations you can run out of memory vastly sooner than expected.

On PC’s virtual memory mapping generally means you don’t need to worry about this, but it used to be a huge pain and it can still be an issue for embedded systems.

PS: Not that this is 100% solved on PC’s, it’s still possible to run out of physical RAM much sooner than expected just significantly less likely.
As a LISP fanatic in the 21st century it feels like we're still waiting for everybody else to leave the 20th century.
The side connector lasted until Socket 370 in the Pentium III product cycle. The new socket took Pentium III chips that had integrated L2 cache (versus earlier PIIIs which had cache on an external chip).

Pentium 4 never had a side connector model, but did have a “socket shrink” in the transition from Willamette (0.18 u) to Northwood (0.13 u) cores. Socket 478 was kept until the Prescott cores (0.09 u). The Prescott cores were also offered with an LGA 775 socket later.
It absolutely would. But who's to say it was your neighbor instead of a random person in the city who's looking for a quick buck and knows AirB&B is illegal in the city?
