while you can -- and I've worked at shops that have -- and there are DBs like Cockroach that are k8s native... I still wouldn't. Give me a some VMs and I'll create a cluster. Sure it will be overprovisioned and such but it's a database. It needs to be solid and consistent and slow to change.

I still think it's best to allow K8s to coordinate ephermeral containers with little to no persistent storage and let the DBs be run more traditionally.

Sorry, but I'd like some proof about, really, any of this. For example, that you were a moderator of his official subreddit. I dislike Yang making a third party, but this is a pretty hefty charge.
Sure. Morally what do you think is the right thing to do?
I think people take issue with rights that must be provided by some external party because if said external party is not providing said rights, what do they really mean? Part of the argument is that human rights should only include "rules" that say what cannot be done to you, like us-style free speech, where the government cannot put you in prison just for saying something they don't like.
rights aren't inalienable because they can be taken away.

This is obnoxious. I hate giving semi-trusted organizations personal information (like my phone number), and sometimes that's the only possibility. Also a pain for my kids, for example -- I want them to have e-mail, but not a cell.

I can see some valid reasons for doing this, and imagine there are subtleties, but it is still a pain. At least it is an important account. It reminds me of needing to create an account with a secure password for one of my kids for a game site -- if it was hacked, it wouldn't matter at all. If an account was required, it hardly needed to be secure -- why not have something where my kid could actually remember the password?
I would imagine China will demand a clean environment be a human right and then turn around and say they have no duty to help with it because they have been and always will be a “developing nation”.
Hello!,

I'm from Brazil and have been playing RPG here for 20 years now. I don't know about other regions, but most tabletop RPG players here are not luxurious at all: playing rpg is VERY CHEAP and that's one of the reasons it attracts people. My group has people of different ages and backgrounds, but the chance of them each buying a R$49 (current price at Steam) game to play is zero - we are currently using roll20 and while it's not a perfect software, it's perfectly sufficient for us. Even if TaleSpire looks and feels awesome, by being a paid product I think it will have a really difficult time penetrating this market. Only chance would be some kind of model utilizing free, like freemium - and when there's a payment to be made, it has to be only 1 player in the group. Take note I'm not defending or saying the rationals behind this behavior pattern is good, I'm just telling you it's real and very hard to change. That said, perhaps the target for TaleSpire is rpg players in Europe and US, which maybe have different spending behavior. Good luck!
Website marketing-speak isn't even worth consideration. For example, the dev's actual answer in the HN thread bore zero resemblance to the FAQ answer. QED.
My cortisol levels were way out of whack. Getting them under control helped. Definitely my first treatment resulting in real benefits.

For some of us, insomnia is a multi-factor disease. So I had to do All The Things. My sleep hygiene regiment is a superset of everything listed here.

Ultimately, I needed proper diagnosis and then treatment of my sources of chronic pain to attain somewhat healthy sleep patterns. Pinched nerves, aka "bone spurs", in my spine.

I definitely had to jump thru all the hoops to get to this point.

Yes, the fuel savings in the former case are larger than the initial fuel consumption in the latter case, but is it really unintuitive in practice? What I mean is that we generally pay for fuel per volume, not per mileage. Now, I am not sure about others, but I would always base my decision based on the money I'd save over a period of time, which in this case would require considering each vehicle's actual fuel consumption over that period of time.

The first that came to mind is how `get()` is handled in Django's ORM. The idiomatic way to look for a single object is to use `get`, then catch a `DoesNotExist` exception:

From https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.2/ref/models/querysets/#...

from django.core.exceptions import ObjectDoesNotExist

try:
blog = Blog.objects.get(id=1)
entry = Entry.objects.get(blog=blog, entry_number=1)
except ObjectDoesNotExist:
print("Either the blog or entry doesn't exist.")

I'd be willing to bet you sacrificed micronutrients to meet your macronutrient goals.

Your low T could've been solved by adding a little maca root to your daily smoothies, which should contain all the essential micro-nutes your sacrificing to meet your macro-nute goals.

And yes, you can have a smoothie on keto with minimal high glycemic carbs that fulfills any deficits left by a strict high-fat diet.

I'm only advocating that you not knock something that is clearly working. Sorry you gave up on the holistic approach, but someone should've told you, it's not a solution, it's a practice. And the issues you had were a chance to improve your practice. You could accept the challenge, and expect to recognize and solve problems with constant adjustments to your diet, or keep up whatever your doing that works for you. Good luck.

There's a difference between a right, which is an expression of an ideal — what a person may not be deprived of by virtue of being human — and how protection for that right is implemented in practice under different governments. That is, the varying extents to which governments respect a given right doesn't mean the right differs by country, only that those governments disagree on how to infringe on it.
I got locked out of my PayPal, after 5 years of inactivity PayPal finally deleted the account themselves.
This argument is flawed. How can you be sure if the policy is enforced at back-end?

The better way is to create a solution where users have control over data and the apps interact with data. This should have been the model from the beginning but now I guess it will never happen. Even if someone successfully implements this it will be just as hard IPv6 to adopt if not more.
In python, it's normal to use exceptions in place of type checking, e.g. in polymorphic functions.

I feel pretty good, the only issue is just a sort of stomach discomfort that isn't quite hunger and not painful. More of an "empty" feeling. But mentally I am focused.

I don't have any hunger the whole time as long as I don't drink any coffee. For some reason it makes me ridiculously hungry and I just give the whole thing up.

When using a for-loop over an iterator, the iterator protocol in Python says to keep returning elements until you run out, at which point you throw an exception. So every loop over an iterator or iterable object in python throws an exception when it is done. https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#iterator.__n...
I feel it's a much healthier model, you're paying the creator directly to create the piece you want to see, and to show it, for free, to others.
Reading comprehension is highly "g-loaded", as psychometricians would say. In other words, it depends heavily on IQ. Arthur Jensen (noted IQ researcher) wrote this https://emilkirkegaard.dk/en/wp-content/uploads/The-g-factor... :

"After innumerable factor analyses had clearly established what types of test items are most g loaded, test constructors deliberately composed and selected items so as to maximize the g-ness of their IQ tests. The most g-loaded items are those that involve some form of inductive or deductive reasoning (i.e., Spearman’s “eduction of relations and correlates”), problems that involve spatial
visualization, quantitative reasoning, and verbal knowledge and reasoning (such as word meanings, distinctions between related words, antonyms-synonyms, verbal analogies, and reading comprehension)."

In the linked article, look at what level 5 requires:

"Integrate information across multiple dense texts; construct syntheses, ideas or points of view; or evaluate evidence-based arguments."
> Does it matter that few UN members conform to them?

Does anything the UN does matter? I don't mean that in a flippant/sarcastic way. The "teeth" of the UN is ostensibly the UN Security Council, which runs on vetoes by interests that are practically never aligned. It seems to provide cover for US policy, and when it can't serve that purpose the US does what it wants anyway either with NATO or by itself.
> In a language where idiomatic control flow uses exceptions? That's crazy!

Seems like the opposite: if exceptions are extremely rare then you want to optimise the case where they’re not raised, at the cost of the other one.

If exceptions are common then it matters a lot less, you may even want to avoid 0ce depending on the impact on the raised case.
I do not understand this framing. Not joking, it's just... how exactly does proposing a right to not live drenched in poison present a slippery slope like the one you're proposing?

I love IF. It is hard for a lot of folks to get into though. Your body is used to eating three meals a day so for the first two weeks your body will get hungry during those meal times. You don't actually need those meals. Your brains has just been trained to expect them. So many people stop because they say they cant handle the hunger during the fasting window but... It goes away.

Then you have the wisdom pov. This money is going to somebody who is most likely less wise, mainly due to age and lack of education and experiences. The quality of the content that is being rewarded and wether its a good influence for society or for the minds of the young consumers is also highly questionable.

Just pop open the YouTube home page and then think about what someones mind will be made up of if they consume that linkbait garbage for a considerable amount of time. Then add the echo chamber effect of the internet.

As in this case, the "right" to clean water (or any other exhaustible resource) makes no sense -- at least if described in such blunt terms.

Hypothetically, what happens in a drought, when there is no water for anyone? Have your rights been violated? If so, by whom?

If it's rather described as a right to nondiscrimination in the distribution of clean water (with respect to some set of properties, which could include wealth or ability to pay, but likely couldn't include large-scale geographic location due to distribution logistics), then that actually starts to make sense and can be realistically debated.

Congrats to the team, well deserved! I met Chad once at a quantum computing conference in Zurich in 2011, when he was still working for IBM as a researcher. I myself finished my PhD in 2012, leaving academia to work in software. In 2013 I contacted Chad and we had a short Skype call where we talked about quantum computing, since we were both interested in doing something in the space. I don't remember why I didn't follow up on the call, I guess I was busy working on my own ideas and forgot about it. In 2014 I then had the chance to join John Martinis' quantum computing team (which was later acquired by Google), which I declined because I had just won a small grant for starting a startup and wanted to pursue that. After that didn't take off I interviewed again with Rigetti in 2017, but ultimately turned down an offer to join because I still wanted to start something of my own (also their offer didn't seem very attractive to me at the time). So I guess in hindsight those were pretty bad decisions. That said I really cheer for the team, they have built an amazing company and achieved things I wouldn't have thought possible, so I really hope they continue on their path to even bigger success. And for me I hope I'll make better decisions in the future.

It's all wankery anyway. A member of the UN only care about "human rights" (or anything else the UN votes on) until it conflicts with the member's self-interest.

The UN is a diplomatic discussion forum and place to organize joint projects. It's an anarchy, not a not a government.
These are obviously (?) mostly facetious, but for people interested in actual startup ideas, worth thinking more about problems than just market opportunities:

No More Printer Driver Dependency in Reporting Component List and Label
Re the first point: The verification is specifically designed so it just involves fetching files and thus can be done through a folder served by the main webserver. Certbot writes the challenge responses in that folder, informs LE that is has done so, the verification fetches them, your Apache serves them. Years ago when I first setup LE I think one needed to configure some of that manually for nginx (or maybe I just didn't trust it and decided to ignore the automatic setup? not sure).
This was a huge issue, that has been bugging combit for years. The reporting tool List & Label for software developers always required a printer driver in order to execute the control. On the desktop, that’s all fine and well. However, on the web and in the cloud, it’s a different story. From version 27 on List & Label gets rid of the printer driver dependency.
Crazy to me how many people would rather not consider the Founding Fathers in politics today. Just because we have smartphones and internal combustion engines doesn't mean that general political ideas have changed much at all. People scare and disappoint me lately.

Oh, I'm almost certain it is. But, given that, the more energy I can make and utilize with it, the lower the effective carbon per kWh is. It's also, of value to me, a totally standalone power system, and a good R&D system for me to experiment with, because I can do things without bothering the house system. If I screw up and black out my office, well... I've blacked out my office.

However, my system is also rather a good bit more reliable than the grid power on the house, which is nice for remote work.

> because paying for a movie is no different than paying for groceries

Groceries are necessary for survival, and limited in quantity.

Movies and streams are similar to each other because they are both video content. And as long as the creator of the stream or the company behind a movie get paid enough to make the content they could’ve received no more money and still gotten by fine.

Streams are a little bit different from movies though because much of the audience is actively engaging in conversation with the creator or making requests to them etc. In that sense a stream has an aspect of limited supply to it that a movie does not. At some point the audience of a stream will be too big for the creator to be able to meaningfully interact with all of them, and at a point after that maybe even too big to be able to meaningfully interact with any of them.

And so if you have a lot of people that want to interact with you it makes sense to prefer interacting with the ones paying you money, and to encourage them to do so. And beyond that, it also makes sense to offer “exclusive” content to people that pay. So OnlyFans makes sense too.

What really has me upset though is thinking of the people that are on the audience, among whom some people have little money but also get so little attention IRL that they are paying someone who already has a lot just to interact with them and maybe even being deluded into thinking that they have some form of “real” relationship with them. That is very sad and something I don’t think has been studied enough and is not being talked about enough.
