A lot of people don't see. I think that trying to turn a blind eye to complexity is a foolish mistake. There's so much you're given, that helps so much with out of the box Kubernetes. Logging & load balancing/services, and gateway/ingress, and daemon-sets and... how convinced are you that you understand these features well enough to confirm that you don't & wont need them?

It also sounds exhausting to me to try to start from the basis that's what's good enough for everyone is too much for me. That, because we are scared of complexity, we're going to go bake our own systems, go back & re-assess less-popular less common less comprehensive options.

And how happy are you knowing that the ops you do will be unintelligible to 90% of engineers? To me, getting to participate & share & work with other cloud native projects, to get to explore pull in the future, as it is happening, is an option I would give up for nothing.

I also highly recommend this other thread I have, on how home-computing has never ever had a basis to stand from before, and how now that the computing community finally has it's first chance ever to grow good at ops together[1].

But I see enormous vast huge waves of radical retro-conservatism. "I don't know if I need Kubernetes" is a critical mindset that I think is worth assessing, but honestly, 99.999% of the time, you should use Kubernetes. It works fantastically well at all levels of scale, you can decide as you go what pieces you're going to want to make use of, there are super easy get-going-get-containers-started resources, you will have far far far more chance to bring in & use potentially helpful emerging technology. Please everyone: don't fucking decide to hike the fuck off to your stupid ass cabin in the woods computing environment cause you're all "I don't think this is needed." You are punking yourself. Asking what you need is a question you can harp on for a long time, but the risk of starting with the good comprehensive, proven, well-integrated, robust, scalable (low and high), known, well used/well liked not hard to start with default option is- I think- a low enough that you should probably just give it a spin.

Again, these are people literally taking horse dewormer. We can debate the precise number, but you cannot reason with someone who decides that they trust tractor supply more than they trust their doctor and any relevant medical authority.

Many corporations in Ireland pay much less than the 12.5% figure; more like 0.3% for some.

And this is with the blessing and silence of our politicians, who have actively prevented details of such dealings from being printed. They've gone as far as deleting CCTV footage and records from meetings.
Our school had them too, but no one had one at home. We had Apple IIs, Vic-20s, TI-99/4As, etc. Was Tandy just really good at selling into the education channel?
I've done this as well. Because I was trying to get to that point ever since I got my first iPad I've got a number of different applications for "taking notes". The notepad integration with the pencil however is top notch. I had one that integrated with Evernote and came with a stylus (before the Apple pen existed) and it worked well too, but Evernote lost their way.

For me, the ReMarkable2 is actually a bit better for this, only because the drawing is more seamless and the battery life means I can take it camping without worrying about charging it every day.

In my paper notebook I use 'manual' doubly linked lists to connect places where I leave and return to a project/note. So when I start a new thing, it goes in the front contents with its starting page. When I come back to it, I write at the end of where I left of "to page->xx" and on the page where I've started up again I write "from page->yy". So that at any time I can find a project in the contents, go to the start, and then walk through all of the pages that have some thoughts or information about that project quickly.

The other thing that paper notebooks do well but electronic ones do not yet is flags. I have 'post-it' 5 color flags usually glued/taped to the inside cover of the notebook. So I can add flags to pages with specific things like 'green flag' means business idea, 'yellow flag' means waiting on something before I can continue, 'red flag' means this has an action item I need to do/finish to make progress, and typically 'blue' flags are used to indicate the first 'unused' page in the notebook so I can easily open to it. The 'Makers Notesbooks' from Make Inc have a ribbon page marker that works for this as well.
Ah, what you really meant was "what's evil about selling my data?" which is a much larger question. And it sounds like you already have your answer.

IMO their argument works against them: Three decades of nothing, then two at once from different companies? What's the catch?

I don't think Apple cares about the relatively tiny number of people who want to boot an alternate OS vs the markets they sell into. It is just not financially important. It has always been possible to boot alternate OSes on the Mac and Apple did specific work to make sure that was still true on the M1 Mac. No one can predict the future of course and it is possible for this to change, but I think the status quo of mostly indifference will continue.

However, even if Apple does make it harder later, I think the people who are working on boot systems are doing it mostly for the joy of the challenge. If we end up with a nice alternate OS all the better. I think it is incredibly cool work.
The fallacy is going because of the resources (whatever they may be) spent, not considering (or fairly weighting) other considerations. If you think the concert is going to be sufficiently enjoyable (or unique, last concert by your favorite band) to go to despite being sick, having to deal with frustrating traffic, and likely getting sicker because of going, then go. But don't go because you spent $50 just to end up laid up in bed for a week after and never enjoying the concert because your sinuses were so stuffed up you couldn't even hear it.
It's honestly a red flag.
Was it because National Mutual supplied a computer for your father to work on at home or did they have a relationship with a manufacturer?
It seems like it'd be incredibly difficult to obtain accurate data through a mass survey. I know in work places "anonymous" surveys are often given where employees know/think the data is not truly anonymous and as such do not provide honest input.

I'd imagine this survey could be impacted similarly, either by underreporting because of shame/fear or falsely reporting in an attempt to get their detainers in trouble.
70% of how many?

I'm wondering how long this will remain efficient, though. I'm now at the point where I just flat out refuse to click on any video with a clickbait title, or any video that is exactly 10 minutes long (give or take a few seconds). I can't be the only one.

There's no such thing as being your own boss when you're a creator. Every one of your customers is your boss. Every platform you use to publish or promote your work is your boss. Anybody who handles payments for you is your boss. You don't own your hustle; your hustle owns you.

A friend of mine learned this the hard way trying to publish some science fantasy pastiches. They sold OK at first, but he burned himself out trying to write more books, promote his work online, and work a full-time job as a DBA - without any sort of support network. (I couldn't help him because I had medical problems of my own.)

Now he just posts fiction on his website and depends on his day job to pay the bills. And if anybody criticizes his work, he just shrugs it off and says "they got their money's worth". He's happier now, or at least more serene.
> REST is a model for CRUD

CRUD covers all possible interactions with data, and, in that sense, this description is correct.

“CRUD application” is sometimes used to refer to an application which presents only the most simple operations data operations to users, and saying REST is for CRUD applications in that sense would be the opposite of the truth. In fact, its the opposite, its a mechanism which facilitates creating applications of arbitrary complexity from components exposing simple, self-describing interfaces.
So if I understand the issue correctly, MarkMonitor pointed all of those domains to S3, without first creating S3 buckets for the domains in question?
Those online school families should send their kids to school. The only good reasons for not doing so are ones that would also prevent them from going to your fake school.

And instead of an idiotic sneer about biology, perhaps you could share why you appear to have decided that "academic bonding", as you called it earlier, is so contemptible - and what you find so awful about kids being around others of the same age.
Sorry; what? Taxes function the same as rent seeking?

Taxes pay for schools, roads, environmental protections; common good stuff. Rent seeking further enriches the wealthiest by 'virute' of them being wealthy. How are you confusing the two?

... It is absurd for highly profitable - and in many cases, highly exploitative - corporations to be subsidised and supported by requiring they pay less tax than the average worker.

It's utterly and completely absurd that a "foundation for economic education" would spin tax havens as a "good thing" for the countries who have been robbed - much less a "win win"!

There are many sources you can explore for why tax havens are lose-lose. That this "article" doesn't mention any of those reasons might clue you in as to it's level of argument. For example: https://www.imf.org/external/pubs/ft/fandd/2019/09/tackling-...

> Provided that the components are attached at one side

Unlikely with the tiny size of these devices. I am sure there are tons, but that most will have components on the A and B side. However… the same reasons that this works to assemble in reflow, are the same reasons it MIGHT not be an issue here.

Surface tension keeps the hot upside-down parts where they should be when their solder is molten. So if you have the right conditions, and you have the correct side-up, it should be no more of an issue to reflow a two sided part than a one. This is likely how it was made to begin with, the boards run down the line twice and the second time the upside parts have molten solder.

Obviously there would be issues for things touching components like the enclosure or tape/sticker bridging multiple parts. And fwiw to anyone… you determine “which side is up” by the weight of the components. If one side has a heavy part that won’t be held in place by surface tension, that’s the top side.

I wouldn’t do any of this for some internet-rumor that your drive will last longer, but I do know enough about two sided reflow to offer the above.

Edit: lol classic
If it's not disturbed it could survive this, but ideally you can reduce the temperature just a bit further and increase the time period (though for some processes there is a temperature floor) so you don't liquefy the solder. If you just heat it and don't disturb the surface it should survive, but I'mma have to look up tin oxidation again. It might foam.

Would be interesting to have media with a self-heating cycle.

Thank you kind stranger ;)
There is another point: to the author,

«[...] This all sounds quite risky. Does it mean that we should avoid prescription medicines entirely? Let’s look at the most common adverse-reaction offenders. Anti-seizure drugs, insulin, and blood-thinning medications—often used to prevent stroke—are at the top of the list; antibiotics account for more adverse effects than almost any other kind of drug, leading to approximately a hundred and fifty thousand E.R. visits annually; even acetaminophen turns out to be risky, causing fifty-six thousand E.R. visits, twenty-six hundred hospitalizations, nearly half of all liver failures, and over four hundred and fifty deaths each year. Nevertheless, I think that most of my vaccine-hesitant patients would agree that preventing strokes and seizures, treating diabetes, alleviating pain, and curing infections are extremely important, and that the benefits we derive from using these medications weigh favorably against their risks.»

A binary dilemma is expressed in the paragraph, while the actual topic is ternary. «Most of [his] vaccine-hesitant patients» would take insulin as a better option than just bearing diabetes, but not necessarily would take farmaceutical prophylaxis over a relatively high isolation (if they can afford it in practice - The New Yorker was not exactly born for a public of dwellers in low density areas).

I think I'm the target market for this - I run my own cloud on a personal server in my closet. I've been thinking of replacing it with something more compact, so Helm looks great. However, I would never buy this considering the mandatory $99 subscription service. It's too expensive for what it provides, the device price isn't properly subsidized to make up for the high subscription cost, and I might not even want to self-host mail but do want the other services.

This should be something added to an AWS Security Hub check, e.g. do you have Route53 pointed to an unregistered domain. Otherwise, I can't find fault with AWS at all. Now I have to review our domains on Monday.

What "online marketing?" I have only seen them mention the very real OS level support for virtual machines. That is available today and works very well. I have not seen any marketing referring to bootable alternate OSes. I would be interested in a link to such material.
We're arguing about semantics. What you define as "well rounded" I define as "product-first". What you define as "product-first" I would define as "inexperienced".
I feel that articles like this one are much closer to propaganda than to any explanation of science.

1. In comparing risks of adverse effects of drugs with those of covid vaccines the author is missing a big point. Namely, medications are given to help patients (i.e. already sick people) or prophylactically to people in serious risk of developing an illness. Covid vaccines have been given and continue to be given to perfectly healthy people who are in minimal risk. Now, other vaccines we do administer to healthy people, so a more proper comparison would be between other vaccines - but, while I don't have any data to quote, I believe you'll find significant higher risks of adverse effects from the covid vaccines than from previous vaccines.

2. > And the principles behind it [mRNA technology] are startlingly simple and elegant.

Now this is quite problematic the way I see it. First off, I have a medical degree and I find the technology incredibly complex. Secondly, the author uses "simplicity" as a crutch to support her argument further down that since mRNA translation happens outside the nucleus (where the DNA is) there is in no way any interaction between DNA and mRNA.

I'm not saying that the mRNA vaccines alter our DNA; I wouldn't know. I do know there are a couple of ways - at least - that mRNA can go back to DNA (retrotransposons for example). But, I also believe that when developing the technology, issues like this have been given serious thought by smarter and more knowledgeable people than me. That, however, doesn't take away the fact that the author is omitting quite a lot in order to present a nicer, simpler picture of reality. Well, that's quite close to lying in my book.

These two issues at least stood out for me. I'm not "anti-vaccine", I'm just "anti-bullshitting". And no, even if you have the best intentions in mind, it's still very much bullshit.

>I refuse to "interact" with my thermostat.

You... refuse to feel temperature? I'd wager that more people operate their thermostats based on their ambient reading of how hot/cold the room is rather than a data-forward approach.

Ha. Files that won’t be made for >24hr according to your system clock in important directories will flag for abuse. Good to know how to screw with your users I guess?

I think the problem is people who aren't building these kinds of systems learn these "best practices" without the context and then you get frustration like OP, and you can often blame the people selling these approaches (I mean understandably they want to promote their work, no doubt it works in their scenario)

But I've seen this in every direction possible at this point :

- people talking about horizontal and vertical scaling, citing Google and Facebook research - on an unreleased MVP with 0 users

- people using the quick and dirty approach with stuff like RoR and then 5 years down the line getting stuck in an mess that's hard to reuse and hard to refactor and being unable to react to quick market changes fast enough

- people implementing a distributed lock system to synchronise some state - meanwhile the entire system is built on top of one DB instance and if the DB is down the system is down - so use the DB locking

.... so many "best practices" or "good approaches" without context

One more idea, there exist worm drive micrometers which allow you to step down the linear movement per revolution even more:

If you have machining/fabrication skills, it might also be possible to buy a few worm gear sets and modify your micrometer to move really slowly but precisely.
Reddit is great for finding general topics - science, news, hobbies, etc.

And the goal of this isn’t to replicate those more sweeping discussion boards because they’re great!

My issue is that once things get more niche, the subreddits are tough to find - they could have obscure names, and even just learning about them often involves another user recommending. Plus creating a subreddit for every niche intersection isn’t ideal.

With this I could zone in on exactly what I’m after, without sifting through all the unrelated stuff. With the Aquaponics/AI/Tomatoes, I’d be dealing with only that intersection point. Not the peripheral stuff.
Recommendations are recommendations, whether it comes from YouTube of from outside of YouTube. Separating the host and recommendation engine has pros and cons, that are mostly both sides of the same coin.

You are getting more of what you are interested in, but you get even less diversity. You are less likely to binge watch useless stuff, but it makes it harder to get more content about the topic you are interested in. Less platform independence, but worse integration.

Things become even more complex when you consider monetization. Obviously, YouTube does that for money, but more money for YouTube also means more money for creators. And if you begin to take into account alternative revenue streams (Patreon, sponsors, ...), you get even more tradeoffs. In any case, YouTube needs money, and it is not that profitable (I think it started at a loss).

As for searching, search is recommendation, unless you know the exact title of your video. For example, if you are looking for "how to install a graphics card", YouTube (or Google, or Bing) will make a small selection of the thousands of videos on the subject.
More examples of the tech monster shitting on our rights and apologizing to no one. Remember this when the shills astroturfing the planet try to convince you corruption isn't real.

> The value of the searches doesn’t come from the abilities google has with them

I don't follow you here. Is the claim that Google's tracking of users is not for the purposes of increasing revenue? Why else would they be doing it, particularly given the PR cost?

> iPhone searches are valuable because iPhone users tend to have higher disposable income

I don't understand how this is relevant. IPhone users do indeed have higher ARPUs for this reason. Why would that make them immune to the assumed increase in per-user revenue that tracking provides to Google? Ie, the effect you're describing (disposable income of user) is orthogonal to the one I'm describing (tracking techniques used on user), and both are inputs to the ARPU equation.
Yeah I laugh because of the awkward situation but to his credit he just says ‘f it’ at the end - all you can do!
