> How do you deploy a thing to run on k8s?

kubectl apply -f ~/git/infra/secretproject/prod.{json,yaml}

One JSON/YAML file too uwieldy? Generate it using jsonnet/CUE/dhall/your favourite programming language. Or just talk directly to the Kubernetes API. You don't have to use Helm - in fact, you probably shouldn't be using Helm (as the whole idea of text templating YAML is... thoroughly ignorant in understanding what Kubernetes actually is).

> Layer a service mesh with custom overlay networking that abstract upon k8s clusterip.

You don't have to, and you probably don't need to. I'm happily running bare metal k8s production without anything more than Calico, Metallb and nginx-ingress-controller. That effectively gives me 'standard Kubernetes networking' ie. working Services and Ingresses which is plenty enough. And if you're using a cluster deployed by a cloud provider, you don't have to worry about any of this, all the hard decisions are made and the components are deployed and working.
>> jeesh. why?

If you look at Google they build a whole PaaS (Cloud Run/Appengine) on top of k8 and I guess that's the way it's meant to be used.

IaaS -> K8 -> PaaS -> deploy.sh

Russel's teapot.
YouTube is bastion for grooming and child exploitation through its unprincipled design and lax moderation, and in an attempt to remedy this without shaking parental faith in their child-profit machine, Google has allowed elective disabling of the two most common ways to influence targets and connect abusers to potential victims: the comments section, which does not allow seeing other comments by a user, and playlists, which can be made private and shared, coordinated, and extended on external mediums.

You didn't miss anything they didn't want you to miss. Massive companies like Google with social media products can afford lawyers, PR and marketing teams, and experts on human behaviors. The ad era brings in phenomenal wealth, but can we all bear the cost?
The worst part of k8s is definitely its configuration system. I don’t like helm as it’s combining packaging, templating and deployment lifecycle.
I feel like each of this components should’ve been its own abstraction.
Well we do know emergent phenomena that occur as abstractions. Probably the most obvious example is a computer program. At a basic level, the computer really doesn't look like it's doing useful work, it just processes lists of rules and stuff, but actually the emergent behaviour is that I am browsing Hacker News. What is the difference between a computer and a rock? Well there isn't actually a fundamental difference, other than that the computer is physically arranged such that it is doing some complicated calculation resulting in this rich UI experience.

I think it's the same with the brain. Why is there consciousness in this brain and not in a rock? Well because the brain is set up to perform a complicated "calculation" and the rock is not. Just like the program's behaviour only exists as an emergent property of the computer's physical state, so does consciousness arise as an emergent property from the brain's physical state.

EDIT: to clarify this is why it is justified to say there is not a problem, but I do not personally find it satisfying

Nomad could use an official or semi-official distribution. Something that you could throw into any VM with minimal configuration and it would create a new or join an existing nomad cluster.

I've looked at those. They are glossy. But that's not even the thing that turned me off. The keyboards did.

One speck of dust and that thing gets stuck. The keys have no travel, that's no good. And having typed on it a bit, I can attest there is not much difference between those keyboards and typing on straight up glass, feeling-wise.

I love what they are doing with the CPU, GPU, no significant interconnect overhead so that everything is way snappy – like the big 2TB RAM machines I used to maintain back when I coded for a living.

But they aren't thinking of me and people like me when they create those past-2015 products, let me tell you. There is much to hate about the current crop of them.

Recovering Real Faces from Face-Generation ML System
I don't believe anybody would make such a claim.

The Design Patterns (GoF) book explicitly has a complete section about "Applicability" for every pattern it discusses, and makes no bones about circumstances where a pattern is not a good fit to a problem. Further, under "Consequences" it discusses (again: for every pattern in the book) negative as well as possible positive consequences of using the pattern. Then in "Implementation" it discusses tradeoffs, gotchas and variations...

The notion of Design Patterns was never intended to be prescriptive nor to suggest inherent "goodness". It was merely an attempt (largely successful, imho) to establish a common vocabulary for software designers, saying, effectively, "Look, lots of people faced with problem X have solved it in this way. Here are some(!) of the considerations, use-cases and tradeoffs, and here are some things you might want to think about, when using this pattern.

Not sure how the notion got so badly screwed up in peoples' minds.

None of us were born with knowledge of quantum mechanics. Some outside force placed that information into your head by sitting you down in a classroom, and incentivizing you enough to remain there under the vague threat of future poverty. Very few things get the privilege of becoming part of a school curriculum. And the way those ideas get there, looks a lot like marketing.

I don't think anything I can say will change your mind. Often, a belief that things were better in the past is more of a personality trait or an emotional disposition motivated by external events rather than something rational.

If you're so inclined though, I highly recommend using the Library of Congress website or Newspapers.com to read what mass communication was like 50-200 years ago.

It’s not dangerous?! Somebody tell the nuclear power companies. They’ll save so much money on security and safety. They could have a side hustle doing tours for school kids.

Of course it’s safe! This explains why Fukushima has such a thriving beach front community — and why three-mile island is such a tourist hot spot.

I guess that means dirty bombs aren’t dangerous? I guess nuclear weapons aren’t dangerous either!! Someone tell the CND, they’ve been wasting all their time protesting.

Wait, this is huge, the biggest conspiracy of all time. what about Hiroshima and Nagasaki, they must be in on it too. Did they fake it?! Was the Cuban missile crisis an inside job? Is the Bikini atoll an advertising ploy for two-piece swimwear?

The trouble with the "hard problem" of consciousness is that it's predicated on the possibility of the existence of p-zombies. Even if you don't know how a complex physical system gives rise to consciousness, you understand that a block of steel is not a complex physical system - so the fact that it isn't conscious isn't that contentious.

If p-zombies could exist as complex systems without consciousness, then there would be a problem. But it's not so obvious that their existence is a possibility - or even, as Chalmers puts it, that they are "conceivable". To me, the leap of faith involved in the "hard problem" is really this first one.

Those that understands these things, have known about RF leakage on data cables for decades.

When I worked at the Ministry of Defence (UK) back in the late 1990s, the network cables for different data classifications were always strung along conduits at least 3 feet apart, and anything over the old 'confidential' (i.e. 'secret' and 'top secret') used fibre instead of copper.
As much as i think k8s is the most complex option that exists, which is bad, its being pushed by the big boys, which means tools exist for it.

I can get so much value by plugging in other tools to this generic platform. Feature flags? just plug it in. On cluster builds? Just plug it in. Monitoring? Plug it in.

I am a solopreneur running my own and clients' projects and the best way to NOT do devops is using Heroku (for simple/early projects) and/or AWS ElasticBeanstalk (for bigger/complex projects) — nothing beats the simplicity.
Those same people might say that it is just the experience of "being the computer" rather than seeing it from afar. But I don't know, because personally it isn't an argument I find convincing.

As an aside, I think you have to be a bit arrogant or closed minded to assert that they actually can see the problem. I really don't think my wife is lying or being nefarious when she says she doesn't see a problem. I trust her and others when they say they don't see a problem.
Anything that needs a kernel module (OpenVPN with tap for example) is better off as a separate VM. Or anything that is not linux, so BSD, Illumos etc.

Exactly, you have a handwave. A vague idea that when a system becomes "complex" enough it suddenly becomes conscious. There's no mechanism, no rigor, no cause and effect. With the browser you can chase down every bit through the hardware, down to the quantum tunneling effect dictating what's happening in the silicon and come up with a concrete explanation based in physical laws.

With the browser example, at no level of abstraction does there exist any ambiguity. "Emergent" in that framing simply means we can explain abstracted behaviors in terms of other abstractions. But if you wanted you could drill down to the particle physics and have a complete, rational explanation of the system.

Not so with consciousness, and thus the "hard problem"
The point is about not about him, it's about increadible progreas that was made in 60 years past has definately slowed down, nothing 'impossible' was accomplished since. Skyscrapers, farming, construction, they are all the same as 60 years ago. 'exponential progress' is a myth

Edmonton is a bit of a bipolar city. Yes lots of sprawl and McMansions, quite blue collar, bleak winter weather, anemic nightlife. Deadmonton.

But also, a fantastically beautiful river valley runs through it with vast green parks all around. Summer festivals that are quite nice. Quite sunny, even when it's cold. Some neat corners and neighbourhoods. A distinct culture of its own, some good restaurants. And politically far more progressive than the rest of the province.

Honestly, if Alberta was just Edmonton, I'd move back. I grew to hate it in my 20s, but I miss a lot about it and in my 40s when I visit I quite enjoy myself.
Two of the Greatest ‘Healing Weeds’ in the World
The corruption accusation is a common playbook of Communists around the world, like in China, Vietnam, Korea, etc. All the power establishment were accused of being corrupt. The matter of fact is that in those countries, the power has always being deeply corrupt, because they never had a constitutional republic / democracy, which are later western inventions.

So in China, the National Party was corrupt, but not really that corrupt in the context of China's history. But surely very corrupt compared to western countries. Asking China to have a clean government at the time is like asking China to develop a moon landing project at the time. Communists of course understood these but they heavily targeted the U.S. government to spread the corrupt accusations. For example: "1944年6月罗斯福派副总统华莱士访华，冀全程陪同，提供了蒋、孔家族贪污腐败情况。"[1] 冀朝鼎(Ji Chaoding) was a CCP spy.

The whole "poor was hopeless and the elite class also distrusted the government" was Communists' propaganda too.

Remember, even though Communists at the time claimed they support democracy, but none of the Communist countries even attempted to establish democracy after they took power. All straight went to authoritarian hell.
