Moving from classic servers to containers you get:

- Builds with fixed dependencies that never change. Rollback is easy -> what about VMs?

- Easy deployment of a prod environment on a local machine -> yep, that's a nice touch, the only valid point for me!

- Fast deployment -> lol no, Im faster with VMs.

- Easy automation (use version X with config Y) -> valid for VMs and baremetal too

With Kubernetes (or other derivates like Openshift) you get:

- Auto scaling -> you can get it with VMs too

- Fail over -> you can get it with VMs too

- Better resource usage if multiple environments are executed -> you can get it with VMs too

- Abstraction of infrastructure -> Should I really write it?

- Zero downtime deployment (biggest point for my company, we deploy >3 times per week) -> We do on some specific DC (government style) and we release 10-15 times and day with Bare metal servers and ansible

There are applications that do not need Kubernetes or even containers, but is this list really nothing oO? -> None of the arguments convinced me

I can imagine that if you use Kubernetes just like a classic cluster it could seem like an unnecesarry added complexity but you gain a lot of things. -> yes, extra cost and extra skills needed
> ...consumers in general have been leaning towards thinner and lighter for years.

> ...consumers are choosing thinner and lighter.

A) I'm guessing actually lighter more than thinner.

B) Are consumers really clamouring all that intensely for "Thinner! Thinner!", or is that a) because that's all that's offered, and b) the relentless hype from manufacturers -- above all, bendy phone maker Apple -- amplified by rarely-critical media?
Awesome charts..i wonder why the revenues nosedive after rising for a while
I myself is currently setting up Solr for a project as my experience with ES as a DevOps is not a happy one. Always nodes/indexes having some kind of problem. In the same time i have also worked with Solr for years before and never met any major issues. It just works and does the job well.
Email is a delay/disruption tolerant network, and each hop in the network has a positive acknowledgment that the message has been committed to stable storage (a high bar). If the final destination rejects the message a delivery failure message is sent to the originator if one was specified (it's not mandatory), otherwise the postmaster is notified.

In general, I think whatever you are suggesting will not have all the same guarantees of delivery as email.

Unfortunately I don't know enough about elasticsearch to provide a useful comparison. I like the way ES queries are structured JSON instead of obscure compact querystring parameters, but that's not a good reason to choose one over the other :)
Sure.

Let me know when that new client is default installed on the phones and laptops of, say, 70% of all people. I’ll start taking a look at it and evaluate it against standard smtp/imap/pop3 then.

Smalltalk is traditionally done in a proportional font. Short methods, and an editor that only does one method at a time, help that work out.
I had this problem repeatedly with both Google and Microsoft, though never at the same time and never, so far as I could tell, for the same reason.

Everything was set up properly. The domains I hosted had IPv4 and IPv6 addresses with forward and reverse DNS matching exactly. SPF was set perfectly, according to multiple test sites. DKIM was always used and always validated, again according to multiple test sites. I even signed up for a DMARC endpoint account at report-uri.com.

Didn't matter. Messages would be spontaneously rejected, sometimes in mid-conversation (this happened to my wife quite a lot). Other times, the remote end would claim to accept the message and then it would disappear into the great bit bucket in the sky. It would be like this for a day or two then spontaneously go back to working.

I finally gave up and switched entirely over to Fastmail awhile back. No more delivery problems, but no more self-hosting my own e-mail, something I'd done for twenty years prior (my domain is older than Mozilla and Google).
Surely not just here, right?

Rare Cuneiform Tablet Bearing Portion of Epic of Gilgamesh Forfeited to U.S.
Small note about the title: I've seen such title about “creating their own weather systems” recently in the news about different forest fire, as if it were something really special. It's not that special, every forest fire becoming big enough will do the same and it occurs quite frequently (at least on a global scale). This phenomenon is called a [Firestorm](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firestorm)
Doesn't always work. I've seen Outlook 365 or whatever it is mark a reply as spam. It's rare, but apparently not impossible.
I'll lead with: yes, these fires are devastating.

Ironically, if topsoil isn't sterilised or washed away, and both can and do happen with the mega fires we've been seeing, fresh growth after a wildfire can be stunningly quick.

A mature forest is self-limited by the existing mature growth --- juvenile trees simply cannot get sufficient light. If mature growth is cleared, the juveniles grow quickly.

It's still a slow process, and we're talking about ~30--50 years for a redwood to hit 100' or so (coast redwoods can grow to over 380' / 115m, giant sequoia are more massive but not quite so tall --- 286' / 87m.

As carbon sinks, redwood, doug fir, ponderosa, and other trees common to the western coastal ranges, Sierra, and Cascades are not insignificant, but probably pale compared to bogs, swamps, wetlands, mangroves, and tropical rainforests. Thats' a general sense, though I don't have solid numbers at hand.

Burning down the Sierra, Cascades, and Rockies isn't going to do us any favours. But it's still relatively modest. I'd be more concerned about tundra / permafrost melting and release, bog fires, wetlands loss, and rainforest.

Unfortunately we'll likely see all of that as well.
What I'm talking about is a solution for people who don't even want to know what a "script" or a "VM" is. Allowing them to learn and write only what they would actually need to care about: code.

You lose the freedom to fearlessly refactor that's the main advantage of functional programming. If it's not clear which parts of the code can be reordered then you either just can't keep the code clean anywhere near as much, or you need much higher test coverage etc. to keep the same level of confidence when you do.

We have similar rules of thumbs in New Zealand, ours are a bit more generous though, given how much of our ascent is very steep.

On a track, Igenerally estimate 1 hour for 300 meters ascent, 1 hour for 600 meters descent.

But in the bush, with no tracks but animal tracks, in the North Island or on the West Coast of the South Island, where the forest is denser, a good rule of thumb is 1 hour to ascend 100m, 1 hour to descend 200m.

In the eastern beech forests, which are typically more open, 1 hour for 200m up, 1 hour for 300m down is realistic.

The big issue of course, is that descending in untracked bush is a great way to find impassable waterfalls or bluff lines that require sidling or ascending to a ridge to bypass.
I've never taken part. I have seen so many people find a bug and not getting paid for a variety of reasons and even the ones who do get paid get paid so little compared to the value it gives the company. I'm sick of the everyday tech person getting taken advantage of and used as a cheap workforce. These bug bounties should pay people for the time they invest.
Also some people like to do real work and deliver value instead of stealing time.
I would - while successful(financially at least), he's not a good visionary. Let's ignore the fact that I've never been subtle about how repugnant I find him. None of the companies that Facebook acquired were early stage startups like the ones google buys in bulk - they were established products. In all fairness I uninstalled whatsapp the day the aquisition was announced. The core facebook platform is no longer targeting masses but rather niche markets. The metaverse is a niche market. Let's face it, even with the oculus - despite the hype it never really gained a whole lot of traction outside a very small community. I see this an attempt to extend the community but I have serious doubts about the outcome. Now if facebook aquires onlyfans for example...

That’s not the point BEFORE we used to be able to see All the Countries complete not just the USA NBC has done a shit job at showing all athlete and only show the “popular” sports who win medals. Did you know that in the Tokyo this year in Germany’s Women’s gymnastics wore shorts instead of leotards, NO All they Showed you in “prime time television” was Simone Bilies this Simone that, and then every so often they show Russia who ended up doing better then the usa

I don’t know about you but it literally sucks that so many of these athletes work hard and because they didn’t place in medals or are not a favorite sport you have to try and stream on peakcock which has been down since the 1st day of the Olympics

Literally during the 1500m swim race while lidecky was racing for gold they aird commercials in the middle of a meddling race and gave some stupid story on how all the miles she swam in her life she could swim from Dc to Tokyo like they ruin the fact that it’s about the worlds sports and show casing everyone’s hard work not cutting out what they think is unimportant

Also they sport commentators literally sound bored

Why Is China Smashing Its Tech Industry?

I got this one[0]. The VIS-06, specifically. I don't anyone should get the VIS-06.. maybe the 05 or 04.

The VIS-06 is so strong, when you turn it past the 5.5 mark on the dial, it's literally unusable. There's a vent flap for exhaling and ~6 mark that vent flap will invert (goes into the device the wrong way due to suction) rendering the exercise useless.

FWIW, I'm on 0.75 having worked up from 0. Going to 1 seems so hard.

> China never really shifted out of survival mode. Yes, China’s leaders embraced economic growth, but that growth has always been toward the telos of comprehensive national power. China’s young people may be increasingly ready to cash out and have some fun, but the leadership is just not there yet. They’ve got bigger fish to fry — they have to avenge the Century of Humiliation and claim China’s rightful place in the sun and blah blah.

> And so when China’s leaders look at what kind of technologies they want the country’s engineers and entrepreneurs to be spending their effort on, they probably don’t want them spending that effort on stuff that’s just for fun and convenience. They probably took a look at their consumer internet sector and decided that the link between that sector and geopolitical power had simply become too tenuous to keep throwing capital and high-skilled labor at it. And so, in classic CCP fashion, it was time to smash.
I’ve used Input Sans[1] with Python in the past and it works pretty well except if you use white space for formatting or ascii art as opposed to just indenting.

It works because the spaces are nice and wide unlike in a typical proportional font.

I don’t use it anymore mostly because I wanted something with a little more character but it’s worth a try.

There is literally no law which forbids you from being a passenger in your autonomous helicopter in your private land/airspace!

Allowing autonomous helicopters in public airspace is a political debate that can be had
once somebody invents autonomous helicopters that actually work; and once people actually start using them! They currently don't exist.

There is the engineering problem: build an autonomous helicopter.
There is the social problem: make society trust it.

You have missed the point by a multiverse.
I recommend anyone to download powertoys, a collection of utilities, and to use the keyboard manager to remap the caps lock key to the backspace key and vice versa. The pinky distance is substantially reduced.

I use the split, column staggered iris keyboard. With another layer I can access any common key or symbol from at most one key away. Nicest thing is how the arrow keys, backspace, space, home, and end are right on the thumb cluster. I actually use the keyboard layout colemak dh but with the s and h in the same place as qwerty, otherwise this small switch gets me. Its way more optimized than qwerty, probably the best on according to what I read.

I found Windy absolutely indispensable during the 2019/2020 Australian wildfire season. I cycle to work and I would check Windy for pockets of clean air blowing in from the coast from the North which from me is the desert, hence no fires.

There was a point where southern, eastern and western winds all blew smoke from one major fire or another. We have air quality testing sites in various parts of the state to reference, but at a certain point you needed to forecast on a national level in order to not get caught in one smoke cloud or another.
Working 10 to 12 hours straight with only one or two half an hour breaks is no goal one should thrive for. Neither working 80 hours a week.

Heck, it would even be against the law in my country and it favors companies over people...

We tried gather.town in my team (we develop web services for a big news site) and dropped it after a week or two. While some people seemed to like it, others disliked it very strongly. I personally disliked it as well:

It drew lots of resources of my PC. It was like having MS Teams constantly running in meeting mode.
For me it felt childish to push a pixel avatar around in a virtual office. And also tiresome (its one more thing you have to keep in mind alongside your work). Having the camera on all the time is a no-go. And walking into the private space of a desk and talking to a person working there is as invasive and interuptive as it was before in the office. The app brought the worst of the office days into my remote days.

So all in all, it was a cute little game for a few minutes, but it made work feel miserable.

Or you got unlucky.

There even exist procedures to rerandomize if pre-test metrics are lopsided. You retain the benefits of randomization and it can help a little when your signal is the same magnitude as your sampling noise.

If that were true there wouldn't be silent drops in the last mile.

> In general, I think whatever you are suggesting will not have all the same guarantees of delivery as email.

ACK is not to guarantee that messages are delivered though. It's a mechanism that ultimately would let the sender know the message was most likely not delivered.
I like how old OSes let you place anything in the recycle bin, or remove system files without permission (because the concept barely existed).

Simplicity at the extreme. I miss those times where hacking and learning was as easy as breaking things and repairing them. But I think this also was a source of fear against computers for most people : if I click on the wrong place, it will break and cost money.

Nowadays systems are nearly unbreakable, and that’s cool, but o boy when they break, good luck finding why.
Maybe, but this isn't one of those cases. This wasn't inadvertent or negligent, this was straight up deliberate fraud.
I get the impression (as a vaguely interested outsider looking in from a distance and making a LOT of presumptions) that it's "just" institutional drag and "tradition". Create a culture founded upon filling in forms and ticking boxes, and "hi I can haz?" is going to produce $every_windows_error_at_once.wav, a lot of hand-wringing, and an internal processing chain that'll naturally tumbleweed itself in the general direction of the legal department. Network effects / emergent behavior. Soo, you read between the lines ("ah, it's fine, the requirement was fulfilled"), and take it from there. 𝙻𝚘𝚐𝚘𝚗 ===> _

The only reason I haven't pursued this myself is that MVS is ultimately just not objectively compelling enough, because while it's similar to what's out there today, I get the impression I'd only have to unlearn an arbitrary bunch of things once I was on the "real" system.

As an aside, I happened to stumble on a copy of "IBM and The Holocaust" a few years ago. It's a startling insight into IBM's beginnings tabulating and wrangling data on the millions of Jews "processed" throughout Germany in WW2, which turned out to be the first commoditized consumption of what would today be regarded (without a second thought) as big data.

The world has certainly moved on since that point and IBM's DNA is completely different today, but IMO the "data processing" energy still remains as an incredibly strong centerpoint, and I honestly see mainframes as a digitized realization of the punched-card concepts IBM's beginnings were founded upon. (Combined with the institutionalization aspects I hinted at in the first paragraph, this is the main reason I'm very hesitant I'd survive in what sounds like an especially rigorous environment.)

While the UI of reading a printed book hasn't yet been beaten (I'll switch to e-readers once they can pageflip instantly -.-), it's very practical to be able to virtually pick up a book and thumb through any portion.

> So, basically, email lacks an ACK mechanism.

As the article mentions, Microsoft’s server was telling the sender that it had accepted it. An ACK had taken place. But there’s no point in having an ACK if the recipient lies about it.
It looks expensive, and each machine is custom fitted to the users legs and also grows with the user. The market for it is really small to instantly lower the price.
