The good news is that the trajectory of timeline slip is less than one week per week, and if that holds true, the two will eventually rendezvous.

In 1996, it was estimated for 2007, fast forwarding a bit to 2018, it slipped one year from an estimated launch in 2020 to 2021, in 2020 it slipped from March 2021 to July, by January 2021 it slipped to October 31st, and it's been known since June, 14 weeks ago, that it wasn't likely to meet that date.

At this rate, I estimate the current date will intercept the target date in early 2022.
Exactly.

An entire 9-11 load of deaths in car accidents occurs EVERY MONTH ever since. The disproportionate response shows up the fraud of the War on Terror, Patriot Act and things like TSA SOPs at airports.

You can compare it to any other cause of death or even merely injury.

If you are looking for a way to map SQL queries to type safe Go functions, take a look at my library Proteus: https://github.com/jonbodner/proteus

Proteus generates functions at runtime, avoiding code generation. Performance is identical to writing SQL mapping code yourself. I spoke about its implementation at GopherCon 2017: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hz6d7rzqJ6Q
Are you still interested in programming as a career? My personal anecdote: I refreshed my programming skills in my mid-40's at an in-person coding bootcamp (General Assembly, but there are better ones out there). I had to take on a private loan to do it, put in a lot of effort, but it was worth the risk. I did the javascript/react/node tech stack, but did some python and C# on my own afterwards. It really helped my brain re-start and get back into the employment game.
I just wanted to say that it's NOT like jails and it's not OS-Virtualization.

While possibly true, that doesn't necessarily mean they are poor. Plenty of middle class people operate on see-money-spend-money. There were plenty of them at Boeing when I worked there - the paychecks were distributed on Thursday morning, and at noon a flood of engineers would run to the parking lot to deposit the paycheck before the checks they wrote bounced.

Simple, 2 separate issues tickling me.

Not saying Tesla are not terrible at RTR, they are. But they are also accelerating electrification and catching everybody off guard. Including auto repair shops. Some are actually starting to be the Rossman of teslas and I beleive the momentum RTR is getting will naturally creep in and bite them too soon or later.

For now I can just agree and its one of the reasons I won’t buy a Tesla as I like to keep my cars until they completely die (usually rusted beyond repair with 300kkm+) while keeping my repair costs down.

Toyota was pointed as a major lobyist against right to repair and financed FUD ads in the US on ballot initiatives btw, Tesla was not in that group.

I'll take this opportunity to link to Luc Devroye's freely available book "Non-Uniform Random Variate Generation".

http://www.nrbook.com/devroye/

An undergraduate algorithms + statistics class is sufficient to get a lot out of this book, even if it's just exposure to the wide variety of techniques for generating random numbers on a computer.
There is a temperature dependent maximum field strength the material can take and keep superconducting. REBCO superconducts at 70k, but it can't take much current at that temperature.
I mean, yes, obviously if the criticism is that they're getting too little money, clearly they want more. Some technologies are fundamentally expensive to develop (the Apollo program, the Manhattan project, etc.). That doesn't mean the people saying so are automatically charlatans, especially given that they've never gotten what they've asked for -- it's not like some bomber development project where they get what they want and then keep coming back for more. The relatively paltry amounts the US has been devoting to fusion energy research are lower than any of the scenarios laid out in a 1976 DOE planning document[1] about what it would take to achieve fusion power, and lower even than just continuing at 1970s levels (a plan they labeled in that document as "fusion never").

I was really really excited when I saw the title because I've been having a lot of difficulties with other Go SQL libraries, but the caveats section gives me pause.

Needing to use arrays for the IN use case (see https://github.com/kyleconroy/sqlc/issues/216) and the bulk insert case feel like large divergences from what "idiomatic SQL" looks like. It means that you have to adjust how you write your queries. And that can be intimidating for new developers.

The conditional insert case also just doesn't look particularly elegant and the SQL query is pretty large.

sqlc also just doesn't look like it could help with very dynamic queries I need to generate - I work on a team that owns a little domain-specific search engine. The conditional approach could in theory with here, but it's not good for the query planner: https://use-the-index-luke.com/sql/where-clause/obfuscation/...

The mechanism by which https rendered the old device inoperable does not change the fact that https rendered the old device inoperable.

One may argue that the problem is essentially unavoidable because the alternative is untenable (delivering any sort of communication without both encryption and authentication to ensure the veracity of the data) but that doesn't make the observation any less true. https is in fact a pain in the ass and introduces a lot of overhead and grief and shortened the useful life of countless things, relative to the time before https.

Where does it put the output? A ton of CO2 will produce more than a ton of product. To be useful, the system needs to remove billions of tons of CO2 from the atmosphere EVERY YEAR.

IMO the complexity of k8s tends to be overstated. Of course its a vast and complex system, but its also incredibly well documented and based on simple design principles. The reason people have such a hard time with it is -

- deploying k8s on bare metal is not easy. It was never really designed for this and to be fair Google has a vested interest in making you use GCP. EKS is nothing more than cobbled together scripts and you still need to do a lot of manual work

- k8s introduces a ton of terminology and new concepts (pods/service/deployment/ingress) not to mention the whole host of addons built on top like Istio.

It shouldn't take any decent dev more than a couple days to install minikube/k3s or use a cloud provider, play around and get comfortable with k8s.

>The EPA funded a study by Underwriters Laboratories (UL) which tested box fans with MERV-13 filters attached, finding them to not present a fire hazard even in extreme, modified conditions.

Then it links to, https://chemicalinsights.org/wp-content/uploads/DIY-Box-Fan-...

which says,

>Two-Sided Obstruction

>Figure 6 shows the time series of monitored temperatures under extreme condition where both sides of the fans were blocked. Despite the severe blockage of air flow, temperatures of all five box fans peaked within the first 20 minutes and then plateaued, remaining steady for the remaining 7 hours. Winding temperatures had the largest relative increase of 30 to 57 °C above ambient temperature, with peak absolute winding temperatures remaining at or below 80 °C. Peak temperatures on other fan parts did not exceed 50 °C.

> Temperatures at the power cord, guard, and switch, remained close to ambient room temperature (±6 °C) during all filter test scenarios as well as during the one-sided blocked tests. For the two-sided blocked tests, temperatures at the power cord, guard, and switch increased initially before plateauing to a steady temperature for the remainder of the 7-hour test duration. All fans remained operational for the 7-hour test duration and did not show any signs of potential hazard or damage.

I completely agree with this article. However, in a more generous sense, bullshitters are not that different from sixth grade science teachers.

The death rates for COVID infections in the US is sitting pretty at about 1% [0]. The hospitalization rate is over 5% [1] on average and way higher in some regions.

Meanwhile influenza's IFR in the US, which includes pneumonia from an infection, is about 0.05% and the hospitalization rate about 1% [2].

As for vaccines, you're full of shit. Feeling sick for a few days after a vaccine is not in any way similar to actually being infected with COVID. Besides the symptoms being extremely mild and in no way debilitating they're not communicable! If you get vaccinated and go to work you won't vaccinate your entire office by accident.

So far in the US we've got about 40 million known cases of COVID with over 600,000 deaths. We have hundreds of millions of fully vaccinated adults with very few deaths from the vaccines. One of the two things is orders of magnitude safer than the other. Hint: catching COVID is not the safe one.

Not if the timeline slips such that at each slip the delta between the current time and the launch time decreases by 50%.
I do partially agree with the point that you're making, but perhaps from a slightly different angle - i'd say that the biggest value that Kubernetes provides (or at least tries to, with varying results), is having a common set of abstractions that allow both reusing skills and also treating different vendors' clusters as very similar resources.

> It seems as though some people don't understand that there's actual value in having a system that just works, rather than one that you have to build and maintain yourself just to emulate the system that works.

This, however, feels like a lie.

It might "just work" because of the efforts of hundreds of engineers that are in the employ of the larger cloud vendors, because they're handling all of the problems in the background, however that will also cost you. It might also "just work" in on prem deployments because you simply haven't run into any problems yet... and in my experience it's not a matter of "Whether?" but rather one of "When?"

And when these problems inevitably do surface, you have to ask yourself, whether you have the capacity to debug them and mitigate them. In the case of K3s clusters, or another lightweight Kubernetes distro that might be doable. However, if you're dealing with a large distro like RKE or your own custom one, then you might have to debug this complex, fragmented and distributed system to get to the root cause and then figure out how to solve it.

There's definitely a reason why so many DevOps specialists with Kubernetes credentials are so well paid right now. There's also a reason for why many of the enterprise deployments of Kubernetes that i've seen are essentially black holes of manhours, much like implementing Apache Kafka when something like RabbitMQ might have sufficed - sometimes because of chasing after hype and doing CV driven development, other times because the people didn't know enough about the other options out there. There's also a reason for why Docker Swarm is still alive and kicking despite how its maintenance and development have been mismanaged, as well as why HashiCorp Nomad is liked by many.

In short:

The people who will try to build their own complex systems will most likely fail and will build something undocumented, unmaintainable, buggy and unstable.

The people who try to adapt the technologies that are better suited for large scale deployments for their own needs, might find that the complexity grinds their velocity to a halt and makes them waste huge amounts of effort in maintaining this solution.

The people who want to make someone else deal with these complexities and just want the benefits of the tech, will probably have to pay appropriately for this, which sometimes is a good deal, but other times is a bad one and also ensures vendor lock.

The people who reevaluate what they're trying to do and how much they actually need to do, might sometimes settle for a lightweight solution which does what's necessary, not much more and leads to vaguely positive outcomes.

Basically you can define deployment environments which have their own secrets and configure it so only authorized users can approve workflows which access those environments.
Setting up a firewall with a small strict set of servers to allow traffic to seems a lot more restrictive and complicated to set up than simply installing Firefox or some other solution that supports modern TLS.

Either way though, I do personally think it's fairly reasonable for server admins to maintain webservers that target "General-purpose browsing" without also having to include support for odd individual long-tail edge-cases of people running restrictively firewalled instances of outdated insecure OSes.
There were two very different dynamics.

A Cuban wealthy elite became exiles in Miami, and a strong political force in their own right to put pressure on the government to keep the embargo in place. That coupled with the domino theory that the US foreign policy followed at the time they couldn't allow a successful post-colonial country exist peacefully outside of their sphere of influence. After the embargo had been in place for so long America only can lose by removing it unless they get some market access concessions from Cuba in return.

In Ireland's case the UK needed Ireland as a supply of livestock to feed their population so while the autarky hurt the Irish economy most people were poor farmers anyway so it didn't make a whole pile of difference while in the UK a rise in beef prices hurt their emerging middle class. Overall the amount of money involved was relatively small and since the Irish central bank was still linked to the Bank of England, Irish fiscal policy could still be tangentially controlled by UK monetary policy to keep trade flowing, without having to resort to physical force.

Potentially yes, though stellarator research in general seems to be somewhat less mature than tokamak research. There's an outfit called Type One Energy, though, that looks to me like they're essentially CFS but for stellarators (i.e., take established stellarator designs but do them with HTS magnets): https://www.typeoneenergy.com/ . Their academic heritage seems to come out of the University of Wisconsin instead of MIT.

Look at the history: In the beginning Kubernetes didn't have deployments - only replicasets, it didn't have ingress, it lacked the cloud provider integration you have today...

It was barebones like Mesos but they managed to focus on the right things early on. Once these features and a bit of an ecosystem started to build, the question if we should stay on Mesos with a bunch of homegrown management tooling or move to Kubernetes wasn't even a decision anymore. There was still a significant amount of code which we later just deleted because it became a first class feature or the community implemented something much better.

6 Steps to Keep Your Developers Productive and Happy
For last year it was the reverse for us. We looked at the US, incredulous that you let the virus kill thousands of people every day. At that point we had practically zero cases or deaths and we lived with almost no restrictions. So we could see how bad it could get if we let the virus run free in a population that still doesn't have the majority vaccinated.

It's only in the last couple months that things have been different, and bear in mind only two states have any lockdown orders at the moment. It sucks that our federal government fucked up acquisition of vaccines but at this point it seems silly to not just wait a few months to reach high levels of vaccination rates before opening up properly.

Okay, I'll admit to being a little naïve on big finance but holding a debt like this is still going to cost them 30 million a year. If it's "only" 7% of revenue, surely they'd pay the debts off.

Seems more likely all that revenue is sunk into existing costs and they need the loan to remain liquid.
