That's great! Did you use a Kubernetes distribution that's provided by the OS, like MicroK8s ( https://microk8s.io/ )?

Or perhaps one of the lightweight ones, like K3s ( https://k3s.io/ ) or k0s ( https://k0sproject.io/ )?

Maybe a turnkey one, like RKE ( https://rancher.com/products/rke/ )?

Or did you use something like kubespray ( https://kubespray.io/#/ ) to create a cluster in a semi automated fashion?

Alternatively, perhaps you built your cluster from scratch or maybe used kubeadm ( https://kubernetes.io/docs/setup/production-environment/tool... ) and simply got lucky?

Out of all of those, my experiences have only been positive with K3s (though i haven't tried k0s) and RKE, especially when using the latter with Rancher ( https://rancher.com/ ) or when using the former with Portainer ( https://www.portainer.io/solutions ).

In most of the other cases, i've run into a variety of problems:

- different networking implementations that work inconsistently ( https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/cluster-administration/addons/#networking-and-network-policy )
- general problems with networking, communication between nodes, and certain node components refusing to talk to others and thus nodes not allowing anything to be scheduled on them
- large CPU/RAM resource usage for even small clusters, which is unfortunate, given that i'm too poor to afford lots of either
- no overprovisioning support (when i last tried), leading to pods not being scheduled on nodes when there's plenty of resources available, due to unnecessary reservations
- problems with PVCs and storing data in host directories, like how Docker has bind mounts with few to no issues
- also, they recently stopped supporting the Docker shim and now you have to use containerd, which is unfortunate from a debugging perspective (since a lot of people out there actually like Docker CLI)

If i could afford proper server hardware instead of 200GEs with value RAM then i bet the situation would be different, but in my experience this is a representation of how things would run in typical small VPSes (should you self host the control plane), which doesn't inspire confidence.

That said, when i compared the RAM usage of Docker Swarm with that of K3s, the picture was far better! My current approach is to introduce clients and companies to containers in the following fashion, if they don't use the cloud vendors: Docker --> Docker Compose --> Docker Swarm --> (check if there's need for more functionality) --> K3s.

The beautiful think is that because of the OCI standard you can choose where and how to run your app, as well as use tools like Kompose to make migration very easy: https://kompose.io/

I should add that we believe it’s possible to support other langs too, especially if they compile down to LLVM IR, or have an interpreter/runtime that does. So we plan to eventually work on support for others too like C++, .NET, Java, JavaScript and Rust.

This is the key observation. It's mostly ok for the bar being too high, though it means companies miss out on good people.

But when the interview bar is in a random place completely unrelated to the job skills required, that is the fundamental problem in our industry.
> I can't think of a democratic, free country where the government started flipping tables because one TV station on the other end of the world showed the wrong version of a map

You think Ukraine would enjoy a map showing Crimea as a part of Russia? Poland with Danzig/Gdansk as German? France with Alsace-Lorraine as German? India with Kashmir Pakistani? Argentina with the Falklands as British and vice versa? Etc. Many countries' citizens and governments would be rightfully agitated by maps hitting open or old wounds, and depending on the country and desperation of the government it could escalate to table flipping as well.

> The WHO didn't have to mention Taiwan...they pretended they didn't even hear a question mentioning Taiwan. That's self-censorship beyond reason

If they did respond to the question, they would be talking about information provided by Taiwan's government, implicitly recognising it as an independent authority.
If desktops could make a platform where I can write my app in one language, host it on my own server and get global distribution running in a sandboxed environment then I'd consider it.

The web distribution model is just so much nicer for users and devs. No app stores, no install/uninstall process, no access to system internals.

I can deploy an app today and just send a link to my friends for them to use it. It takes a day just to put together an app store submission with all the necessary screenshots and configuration, not to mention the lengthy review process which could then deny me permission to launch.

The difficulty and uncertainty means that many MVPs launch web first where there's less risk, and more reach, for the same amount of effort. Only after a successful web launch are native apps developed.

Sure there are exceptions if the app requires features not yet available on the web (persistence, actually good multithreading, low level access) but the feature gap is closing slowly.

I have the same thing. I often contemplate my death, and how I am going to die. And yes, I derive some comfort from it - knowing I have lived my best life and done the best I could at it. There are things I haven't achieved yet that I want to experience, so I don't want to go just yet. But if it happens, then I'm good with that.

But I'm an atheist, and firmly believe that this is all we get, and death really is the end of everything for us. I'm not sure I'd be so accepting if I was facing some kind of afterlife. Even ignoring the possibility of an eternity being tortured in heck, I'm much happier with the thought of everything just stopping than with the thought of it somehow continuing on another level.

It's interesting, how our fear of death drives us. Yet (as gp says) we never talk about it.

It seems like with the flurry of support behind mRNA tech, right now is quite an exciting time to be in biotech. It's early days, but from what (little, admittedly) I've read there seems to be a lot of promise behind it. If it lives up to even 10% of its theorised promise, we're potentially going to see a lot of amazing treatments in the coming couple of decades.

(Kidding)

As has been the case since the emergence of MicroSoft, companies in software/internet rely on general ignorance of users/developers for their business plans to succeed. Making people smarter and more self-reliant, running their own software for themselves, is not part of the plan. Making them reliant on someone else is the plan.

Desktop has too much potential for user control. Web is safely under the control of a handful of gatekeeper companies. Earlier HN submission today was promotion of a book by Microsoft Chief Legal Officer about how people are not competent to run their own software and should therefore let companies like MS run it for them in the cloud. Foreward written by Chief Marketing Officer, Microsoft. (Kidding again)
I'm sorry I offended you by being polite. I'm not going to let you drag me any further down this road. However, if you would like a very short course on how mRNA vaccines work, and why they're safe, I will be glad to offer you this.

You are free to refuse this offer. I have no power to coerce you either way, nor am I going to help you further turn this comments section into a shit show. However, if you accept, my expectation is that you do so in good faith.
I beleive that wide k8s adoption is the same dead end as JS frameworks. It is not actually needed and is too complex, so it introduced it's own class of pain. VMs were a great abstraction with very little added complexity, so was Docker. K8s doesn't abstract anything away compared with Docker swarm, just adding unnecessary complexity.
congratulations on getting to launch! And in a notoriously difficult field - I hope you can "fix" recruiting :-)

My thoughts are :

I would only make the bet if I understood both sides - the skill of the candidate I am betting on (ok) - and the needs, culture and requirements of the company looking to hire.

As that second part is basically unknown then the only rational part is to withdraw the bet. Perhaps a smaller sum would work, but then betting 5 to get back 10 is no incentive - you may as well just ask.

I think I should put more effort into networking and recommending people for jobs - so something in this area is needed.

Good luck
I browse the Web on a number of new and older devices.

My most effective strategy is to abandon quickly sites which make demands or purposely inconvenience me.

It's just like people and businesses. I wouldn't hang out with someone rude and obnoxious. I wouldn't keep working with a company whose practices were questionable in the past.

So why would I go out of my way to read some typically low-value content from a resource designed to be hostile or which tells me my browser isn't good enough?

I wouldn't. I would just close the tab and eventually remember not to open links from there anymore.

Whenever I adopted this no-tolerance strategy, the Web became infinitely more pleasant and welcoming. At the same time, the average quality of content I get has improved dramatically.

I think there is a correlation between shitty content and shitty site construction.

I don't love these aspects. We generally don't have them as much where I work (I think). Maybe I've just never noticed.
A monorepo isn't "all but the most simple use-cases", it's usually a fairly complex usecase, and Gitlab have a myriad of ways to make monorepo CI easier - dynamic pipelines, remote triggers, includes, etc.

> `if`/`rules` and `needs` don't work together, and cause the build to fail with a yaml build failure. Wat? This is even a documented failure mode now. This is a huge issue for monorepos

Could you elaborate on this? I have a fairly complex pipeline which has rules and needs, and it works without any yaml errors.
Which means you have to pay more money. If we want fine-tune the permissions of each repo we have to create one user per repository.
Open Source Initiative Names First Executive Director
I'm in the same boat. I was asked recently to develop a small custom app for a library that would need to be maintained for decades. This left me scratching my head as to which GUI technology to choose to minimize the danger of it being broken/unsupported after 10 years. Paradoxically, I think Win32 might be the safest choice as MS can't really innovate (=break) too much here anymore (although I might underappreciate their skills in this regard).

I think Elizabeth Kolbert with her book "The Sixth Extinction: An Unnatural History" did a great job on the overall subject. "Mobile phone and Wi-Fi radiation in particular opens the calcium channels in certain cells, meaning they absorb more calcium ions." That seems not be very good for insects. [1] There are many, good articles coming up. [2] and anecdotal evidence [3] Not sure, of course but the science is unequivocal in that the impact is significant, not negligible.

First: Injecting RNA into cells that currently have reverse-transcriptase proteins active? I'm afraid it will modify DNA. So in any cell currently infected with a retrovirus, and there will be a lot of those in any human, it will modify DNA.

Of course, no more (in fact significantly less) than the virus will. But mRNA vaccines, when used against a retrovirus, will modify DNA.

Second: it would be considered Gene therapy whether or not it modifies DNA.

Thirdly: all RNA activity will result in expression changes for other Genes. That might not modify the DNA directly, but most researchers now consider that part of the genetic material of the cell. Again, probably a lot less than a virus would.

Fourthly: all "negative" (meaning it cuts out "wrong" DNA rather than adding some) gene therapy treatments only inject RNA as well. It's not quite the same as an RNA-based vaccine.

ITER plans first plasma for 2025 - do you think it is a coincidence that SPARC is planned for 2025 as well in that release? I think both projects will hit delays, but ITER is much further in construction, so I wouldn't bet on SPARC to win that particular race.

But they don't need to, do they? If their claim is sound, they could as well just optimize the magnets and wait for ITER to complete to offer an ITERation (pun very much intended) on the design. The fact that they focus on this weird race against an international research project makes me wonder if SPARC is mostly a vehicle to attract investors.
The response is not to the CPI - it is to an individual tracking food costs themselves anecdotally.
The claim that paint can suppress 4G radiation is nonsense.

If you want further information, talk to the people who build shielded rooms. Cutting down EM radiation by more than a few db is incredibly difficult.
Thanks, I'm from Kyiv as well. Not all universities have part-time study programs, and those that do, limit number of students. I just took a look, and the university I would like to attend accepts only 10 students, comparing with 65 to full-time.
I think Java is in group that is used in 50 years. Python might fall way of perl, php and others... Specially if there will be 4.0...
The "level" of radiation is not the issue. Whether Ionising radiation is present depends on the frequency being generated.

It is either there or it's not.

> If your app can be browser based and still functional, it should be.

We can choose to disagree on this point, however...

>> everything other the browser and the text editor is now a web app

It is a long way from the parent's comment (above) to "if your app can be browser based and still functional, it should be".

Maybe it should, maybe it shouldn't, but that doesn't contradict my point that the parent is incorrect in that "everything other the browser and the text editor is now a web app". You're arguing a different thing.

There are plenty of apps, as I described above, that don't have functional web-based equivalents, and probably will not for a very long time to come. There are enough niche industries with such requirements that combined, they will act as a counterweight to the push for everything to run as a web app for quite some time.

> This is the opposite of how economies of scale work. If you make something bigger, the variable costs scale linearly and the fixed costs stay the same but are amortized over more units.

That's not how construction works. Past some small scale, construction cost scales quadratically or worse with size. Building a 100m tall sky scraper is not 10 times as expensive as building a 10m tall 3-story house - it is at least a hundred times more. The only reason why it's sometimes worth it is in ultra-high land-cost areas, such as Manhattan. But you'll never see sky scrapers outside city centers, because construction costs scale horribly with size, even for simple structures. Building a fusion chamber twice the size of ITER would likely be a new 50 to 100 year research project.

> You keep saying "quadrupling your construction costs" without evidence. We build oil platforms in the ocean on a regular basis. They cost some tens of millions of dollars. Existing fission reactors cost some billions of dollars. The difference from being on the ocean is evidently not the dominant cost. And then you don't have to pay for land.

Is anyone building fission reactors, or any kind of huge concrete building out in the ocean at all? Extracting oil from the ocean is many times more expensive than extracting oil on land. I have no idea why you even imagine that it's possible at all to construct a nuclear power plant out in the ocean. There is certainly no precedent for anything even close to that.
> Fusion is in theory something that could give us true energy abundance.

Well, at least for a few hundred years but then:

> if you plot the U.S. energy consumption in all forms from 1650 until now, you see a phenomenally faithful exponential at about 3% per year over that whole span. The situation for the whole world is similar. […] the Earth has only one mechanism for releasing heat to space, and that’s via (infrared) radiation. We understand the phenomenon perfectly well, and can predict the surface temperature of the planet as a function of how much energy the human race produces. The upshot is that at a 2.3% growth rate [in energy consumption] (conveniently chosen to represent a 10× increase every century), we would reach boiling temperature in about 400 years. […] And this statement is independent of technology. Even if we don’t have a name for the energy source yet, as long as it obeys thermodynamics, we cook ourselves with perpetual energy increase.
