I think docker itself had plenty of time to innovate. They could have solved the problem long before mainstream got a hold of kubernetes. They just didn't solve the actual problems users where having at that time, which was container orchestration across multiple servers. They went very very deep with a lot of drivers and API changes and what not. If I am not mistaken docker-compose wasn't even a part of docker first before it got bundled, someone else was solving docker's same-server orchestration problems.

Kubernetes is for a lot of organisations pretty difficult and way too much for a start. We used rancher for solving our problems which did a fine job, rancher got a worse when they made the move to Kubernetes.

In the beginning they (docker) also removed a lot of options like cpu throttling and configuration and such that LXC had from the start. They also had their own version (a shim) of pid 1, some point at the time. And other things that made it a little painful to properly containerise. I was often very frustrated by docker and fell back on lxc.

There was also something with the management of docker images like pruning and cleaning and other of much needed functionality that just didn't get included.

Also something with the container registries which I a this point can't remember (maybe deleting images or authentication out of the box or something that made it hard to host yourself).

Anyway I think it's failed because it failed to listen to its users and act upon them. They really had a lot of chances I think. I think they just made some wrong business decisions. I always felt they had a strong technical CTO that really was deep on the product but not on the whole pipeline from dev->x->prod workflows.

I switched from Notion to Obsidian, and couldn't be happier personally.
I'm curious - does anyone have a story on how they used Docker Swarm for something at scale (>100 nodes), but later migrated to K8s successfully at the same scale?
The issue is that all of those small separate states will do one thing or another wrong. This causes an outcry for centralization because the idea is that the central authority will set them right. And once the power has centralized it doesn't go back to the small states. Eventually people realize that the centralized state also does some things wrong, but now there's no alternative.
Folks, gotta like the sentiment and artifacts to back it up with here.

I see it as addressing two different concerns.

Addressing somebody whose concern is "the vaccine might not be safe", it makes sense to point to the large number of people who have been given a dose and been fine. I don't think a lot of people are in the halfway point where they think 1 shot is safe but 2 shots are unsafe.

Addressing somebody whose concern is "the vaccine might not be effective", it makes sense to look at the effectiveness of the recommended 2-shot course.

Anybody promoting anything will point to their most favorable numbers and try to keep it simple. Press release + nuance is a rare combination. This is not a research paper, it's a conclusion derived from research, and the governor is trying to get that bottom line conclusion out to the public: that it is safer to get vaccinated than not. As somebody who is smart enough to have questions about the details, you're also able to look up the answers to those questions. Does what you've found lead you to a different conclusion?
To be fair this alone is nowhere near what Rust can do for you in terms of safety.
zxing has an online decoder -- https://zxing.org/w/decode.jspx -- but I've seen it fail so often that I'm wondering whether it's very "strict" / doesn't account for image distortion that much?

Or does the web site use hardcoded settings that are more tweakable in the library?

Huh, interesting -- zxing is in "Maintenance Mode Only": https://github.com/zxing/zxing

I'd be suuuuper interested to know: what's the state of the art in terms of QR decoding, both in terms of decoding speed, amenability to various image distortions, and (which I've always dreamed of) the ability to partially decode a QR code, even if the error correction fails for some parts of it, or even totally? i.e. a very very verbose debugging/decoding mode?
I had a Miele once but it didn't last. A Bosch was half the price, did as well, was silent, and lasted many years. Don't understand the cult of Miele considering the high price. On the other hand I have a Miele vacuum that is 25 years old and works perfectly, so maybe it was just bad luck. But Miele vacuum cleaners don't cost $4000.
Unlikely but not highly unlikely. If you expect to live for another 50 years, there is a nontrivial chance that you will face a crisis that happens once every 500 or 1000 years on the average. Dying prematurely is one kind of risk, outliving your society is another.

Exactly. Remember when the goalpost was "Bbbbbut it's not FDA approved!" The exact day that a vaccine became FDA approved, nearly every "hesitant" person suddenly moved the goalpost, so that they had some other excuse to be hesitant. These are not people with legitimate concerns. They already have their minds made up, and plan to keep cherry picking concerns such that they never have to change their minds.
The assumption that the armed population and the forces trying to impose tyranny will be on opposite sides is looking pretty tenuous.
I love my NUC Extreme compute element for my gaming rig. It performs extremely well, and my whole rig is the size of two full size graphics cards side by side, so it'd fit into a shoe box.

The board is also very customizable -- I can scale down to ~3.0 ghz x8 for nearly silent operation, or up to ~4.5 Ghz before thermal throttling takes over. Plenty of timing, voltage, and thermal options. On a more spacious case with better circulation, I'm sure it'd go higher.

I got this case for it: https://www.newegg.com/white-cooler-master-mastercase-nc100-... but my experience with coolermaster customer support was not great.
For the sake of not being an over-confident, fledgeling sentience ape; the complexity involved in the question of "is this good or bad" are absolutely, overwhelmingly complex.

----------

If you wanted to truly answer such a question you have to:

1. Be able to perceive multiple timelines in their entirety and

2. be able to convert those entire timelines into some comparable values

From where we stand, both of those are impossible, and whatever cascading effects may come from any action are completely invisible. We simply do not know the long term outcomes of our actions, and rarely can prove even short-term causation in the first place.

There's an ocean between:

- "I did x because I thought it was the right thing" and

- "I can tell what's good or bad in the world"

No it doesn't? Not unless you want to also compile C, which the Zig compiler is capable of doing because it bundles clang.

The most expensive/capital intensive part of Direct Air Capture is the CO2 extraction, since CO2 is relatively low concentration in air.

Conversion of waste biomass into biochar is both more capital efficient and energy efficient, since the plants themselves facilitate the CO2 extraction.
Aside: when I talk about this program, I refer to it as "T-S-A precheck" because it's depicted as "TSA Pre <checkmark>".

I often hear it referred to as "TSA Pre" and it seems to be the case here too. I agree that the signage is unclear but I don't think it's intended to be called "TSA Pre".
Don't these sites have a right to "reencode" your image as needed, which would destroy whatever carefully encoded data would be contained in it?
> So you have all this talk of "bump stocks" and "ghost guns" and "assault weapons" and whatnot, but it's all just smoke and mirrors to assuage fears. The goal isn't to save lives. The goal is to assuage fears. I don't take any gun policy seriously that purports to save lives if it isn't focused on handguns and suicides.

It's also politics. If you actually wanted to solve the problem, well, like two thirds of US firearms fatalities are suicides. So a real solution is going to look like "improve mental health" and not "restrict who can buy a gun" or else you're only going to be diverting people to other methods of suicide, or keeping people "alive" but still in such a precarious mental state that the only thing preventing them from taking their own life is access to an effective means. Neither of which is actually acceptable.

But from a political perspective, proposing useless gun restrictions makes the other team have to spend political capital to oppose them, because even if they're completely ineffective at their stated purpose, they upset or inconvenience the other team's constituents. Which seems to be the goal of modern US politics.
Either the subscription filter or the lambda could be modified to only fire based on source IP; not the whole thing but perhaps the CIDR of your ISP, so that only you can start it. Perhaps it could be done with the route53 geolocation options as well.

In the 2 months I've been using this method before deciding to write it all down, I've not run into any issues with anyone else or any bots triggering the container to start, at least not yet...

> I've always tried as much as possible to treat strings as just opaque data and never look into them, which tends to work well, but in some domains you really need to look at and massage the characters/codepoints/grapheme clusters, and the lack of a first-citizen UTF-8-aware string type is, I think, a bit unfortunate in this day and age.

You don't need a string type for that, you just need routines that handle UTF-8 strings, like utfcpp (https://github.com/nemtrif/utfcpp).
One extremely painful "gotcha" we encountered was trying to push code to a protected branch from inside a workflow.

With the default GITHUB_TOKEN, you can't push to protected branches. If you decide to use personal access tokens, you can push to protected branches, BUT that will trigger other workflows. That can cause an infinite loop of workflows.

We still couldn't figure out how to push code to a protected branch without triggering the same/other workflows.

2060 Chiron /ˈkaɪərɒn/ is a small Solar System body in the outer Solar System, orbiting the Sun between Saturn and Uranus. Discovered in 1977 by Charles Kowal, it was the first-identified member of a new class of objects now known as centaurs—bodies orbiting between the asteroid belt and the Kuiper belt.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2060_Chiron

In Greek mythology, Chiron (/ˈkaɪrən/ KY-rən; also Cheiron or Kheiron; Ancient Greek: Χείρων means 'hand') was held to be the superlative centaur amongst his brethren since he was called the "wisest and justest of all the centaurs".

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chiron

Chiron – A centaur with a white stallion body[9] and a son of Kronos. He is the mentor of Percy Jackson and the activities director at Camp Half-Blood. In The Lightning Thief, he first appears, disguised as a Latin teacher at Percy's school. He uses an enchanted wheelchair to conceal his horse half.[7] Chiron is played by Pierce Brosnan in the first film and by Anthony Head in the second film. In the musical, he is portrayed by Jonathan Raviv.

Also, scheduled jobs are a joke, they are routinely one to several hours late. I have to use the API to manually trigger jobs (workflow_dispatch) whenever I need scheduling that is remotely time sensitive.
> these jobs don't do much to change the trajectory of climate change.

Yes, the trends are depressing, but jobs like energy auditing are very important going forward as housing is an even larger source of greenhouse gas emissions than cars [1].

There is no way we can make significant progress toward decarbonization without a workforce trained to understand and measure efficiency and GHG emissions - even if "progress" means just avoiding the worst possible climate change trajectory.

I think the maintainers of Nim would disagree with your assessment given that the first sentence on the front page of Nim's official website is:

"Nim is a statically typed compiled systems programming language."

As someone else pointed out, when using Nim with its ARC/ORC and move semantics (which will eventually be the default), it's closer to Rust than to Go.

That being said, Nim's current default GC does well for many kinds of workloads. If it's really causing a performance problem, it's possible to disable it and manage memory manually (or use a different language for the task at hand, of course).

France, for example, has mandatory vaccinations. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6593904/ :

> In order to raise vaccination coverage and restore trust in vaccines, the French government decided to make all eight recommended vaccines mandatory for all children born after 1 January, 2018

They did so in part because:

> A French study revealed that non-mandatory vaccinations were perceived as optional and not as safe and effective as mandatory ones

Damned if you do, damned if you don't.

Completely on a tangent, the author quotes Groucho Marx as saying: "Those are my principles and, if you don’t like them… well, I have others". QI points out the quip is much older, and the first attribution to Marx was a decade after his death. https://quoteinvestigator.com/2010/05/09/groucho-principles/
We'd be bringing it into the public sphere where it can be regulated better at least, that's already an enormous improvement. I just think it's insanity to let essentially private and unaccountable organisations have this much power over ordinary people's lives. Laws should be made as part of an authentically democratic process that at least tries to involve the whole socio-economic makeup of the country, not as a result of private intrigues in the party's membership and leadership which represents a much smaller fraction of the population and obfuscates everything to the point that the vast majority of us won't hear about what actually happened until years after the fact when memoirs are published. Would there not be far more democracy if it were exercised directly rather than through the distorting lens of a party?

I'll be honest, I've followed politics in my country since the age I could vote and I'm struggling to think of anything positive other than perhaps improved decisiveness in a crisis that parties bring to the table that couldn't be achieved more transparently and efficiently in a non-partisan system. What they do bring to the table is an enormous attack surface for egotism, corruption, and intrigue.
Trial Set for Theranos Founder
It is if you own a house mortgage-free. Dividend income on let’s say $1.5 million would be around $60,000/year. That’s pretty comfortable if your expenses don’t include shelter.

That’s why my advice to young people is always to do what you have to in order to establish working credentials, then move somewhere cheap, buy a house and work remotely as much as you can. You’ll get it paid off in no time and that level of freedom cannot be overstated. Then you can start really saving.

On the downside, you’ll probably be living somewhere small and uncool and that may not be enough incentive to leave the bright lights of the city.
In the company I am working we’ve decided to use Github actions for our CI pipelines instead of deploying any “on prem” solution. I’ve worked a lot in the past with Jenkins and Travis and I also played a bit at home with Github actions. Now that I am using it in real world scenarios I have to say that I am a bit disappointed. In my opinion, as soon as you try to do something a bit complex you end up having to implement some nasty hack. Also I found that the Github Actions marketplace is a bit of a sink. You have to spend a good amount of time browsing it for finding something decent that hasn’t been discontinued, or is a pointless fork or at least is actively maintained. This happens even for basic functionalities.

I known is a fairly recent platform but I was expecting much more compared to what other services offer.

Sounds close enough in distance and far enough away in time that we could muster a robot intercept mission; would that be likely to be useful enough to warrant the cost?
Whilst I think airport security is indeed just security theater, roll my eyes every time I have to take my shoes off at an airport, and I disagree with some of the claims in this article that these things work and have kept us safe, I'm not sure that's a great idea.

I can only speak for myself, but I'm not a fan of cost-benefit analyses when it comes to human lives. Going down that route gives us such wonderful things like corporations preferring to pay out damages instead of making product recalls (c.f. the Ford Pinto case). It gets quite cynical.
But I guess in the minority here. All my "tech bros" think like that too. It's all about cold, hard statistics.

There is something to be said about "Vision Zero[1]" type projects, but as it stands I don't think the TSA is currently engaging in a deliberate such project.

Cloudflare's edge network is sufficiently dense that ECS data is unnecessary in almost all cases. The requesting data center will be close enough to the client that doing geoip on the source IP will have the same results as using ECS.

There's nothing incorrect about what Cloudflare is doing, EDNS does not require ECS data to be included in requests, but for whatever reason the maintainer of Archive.is decided to block 1.1.1.1 over it.
Hopefully, anyone who had taken even introductory critical-thinking would recognize what was going on there and throw the article out.

If the worry is, "this is one more way to convince non-critical people of things," I'm pretty sure that's a lost cause to begin with.

Yes, but it doesn't bundle and automatically compile the appropriate C library for the platform. Zig does.
Thats looking it through the last generations lens where stability = a geographical location to live with a house on it.

Exactly.

Personally, k8s is one of the easiest system I learned to use in the past few years. It has many components, too many that one can't practically understand all of them well. But every component follows the same design principle, so there's a clear path for a noob like me to get the full picture step by step.

The first thing I read on k8s was controller pattern[0]. Then everything becomes so easy to learn. Something wrong with a pod? Find its controller and start troubleshooting from there. Oh, the pod is controlled by a replicaset? Check replicaset controller. The replicaset is managed by a deployment? You know where to go.

That's why I said it is only complicated in some sense. I saw a lot of people started learning this system by going through a list of popular components and their concepts. I would've gotten lost easily and probably given up if I did the same in the beginning.
