Speaking of good faith, I think it’s a bit disingenuous to claim that lockdowns and similar actions did not have a significant impact for a year or more. Even if people were not under a strict lockdown mandated by law, many were impacted by work reduction, job loss, etc.

>”An astounding 96,000 Americans died from drug overdoses over that one-year period, the latest figures released by the Centers for Disease Control reveal. That’s a 29.6 percent increase from the previous year.”

Meanwhile there is zero evidence that lockdowns had any discernible impact on the spread of Covid. The biggest threat we have today isn’t the environment or Covid, it’s Democrats and their policies that are responsible for the deaths of countless of human beings.

Not the person you’re replying to, but I’m a couple of years in on Nomad, coming from kubernetes.

I’ve reported and participated in a few issues. Most got fixed within the next couple of minor versions, some went neglected.

I think the somewhat recent 1.0-release was pretty well-timed. There are still a few rough edges (though it’s gotten a lot better continuously over than last year). Specifically, Consul Connect and federation (especially together with ACLs and mTLS) are just about coming together now.

If you don’t rely on Connect and federation across regions, I’d say it’s reliable for production use. Other than that maybe wait 6-12 months and reassess.

I’d also advise to put ACLs and TLS in place before you start putting production loads there; it’s not great to introduce in a running cluster.

I am using Crystal for my small projects (microservices), as a script language (as a replacement for Perl), as a parallel computational language for math. And yes, with it's amazing runtime speed, powerful embeded macro-language and expressive syntax - it is probably the best language i've ever used .
But Crystal's slow compilation time is a "breaking things" for big projects. Developers, please fix this!!
Thank you so much for sharing!

This is what I have in mind, yet I don't have enough time to make this. I'm really happy that it is made into a reality. To get only the specific content of a long-duration video is quite efficient.

Agree. Especially on the last point. Seems very much like politically-motivated reasoning to poh-poh on lockdowns.

Ironically, many of the ideas for helping these very people are likely opposed by a “libertarian-conservative” view: public addiction treatment help, less policing and more counseling on the subject, more govt regulation on companies that produce addictive substances, and a public health care system.

The letter combination "fi" seems to have been deleted throughout your quote, there. Perhaps it was a ligature in the original.

Could you elaborate? After a ~10 years hiatus I revisited Rails last year and whipped up a CRUD app with auth in no time. No SPA in sight.
I think I agree. In the early 1900s New Yorkers were freaking out at the calculations that showed that their streets would be buried in 10 feet of horse shit within a hundred years. Obviously that didn't happen. Technological progress has a way of completely invalidating your old problems and replacing them with something totally different.

As a thought experiment, look back on humanity for the last 500 years and imagine what would happen if you asked them to solve the problems of the next century. It would be ludicrous. Steam powered air travel, pneumatic computers, advances in blood-letting, etc.

One thing that is missing from your problem statement is the objective function. What are you trying to maximize?
I was curious about the LineageOS, so I checked and found:

"On all of the other handsets the Google
Play Services and Google Play store system apps send a
considerable volume of data to Google, the content of which
is unclear, not publicly documented and Google confirm there
is no opt out from this data collection. LineageOS collects no
data beyond this data collected by Google and so is perhaps the
next most private choice after /e/OS."

So the problem is Play Services and the Play store. Note that /e/OS uses MicroG[0] to replace Play Services so you can still use the many Android apps that require it. It's a really cool project and I think it's amazing how someone is like "Damn, I need a Google account for this app? I'll just write my own account manager to replace Google's!". Really that's the spirit of open source, and I hope more people become empowered to be able to solve problems that way in the future.

I think you can also use MicroG rather than OpenGapps on LineageOS, though I haven't tried and haven't read anything about it. Does anyone have some info about this setup?

Societies have to do comprehensive societal short-term and long-term cost/benefit analysis for such extreme measures as lockdowns including measuring the increase/decrease of suicides, alcoholism, drug abuse, domestic abuse, children deprived of schooling etc...

I assume most decision makers felt that lockdowns were the right measure.

I think we will have to wait a decade or two to really measure the long-term results of more liberal approaches like Sweden versus say other more extreme lockdowns like Spain.
Go is a very hard language to work on as a team. It does not push a lot of conventions on you, and when it does, they just seem weird and anachronistic.

Even the original k8s codebase was notoriously horrible in Go, and that was "from the source".

Ironically, HashiCorp has a better Go codebase, and that's where I picked best practices from, not from Google.

The problem with Go is that the Googlers fail to challenge some of the design decisions. The giants of computer science working on it at the company cannot be questioned, and that just leads to a broken feedback process.

As someone said, Go is the new C, skipping decades of new language design concepts.

Google has said it receives tens of thousands of "geofence" and "keyword" warrants each year looking to identify anyone within a certain geographic area at a particular time or anyone who searched for a particular keyword.

There are 3 pertinent points here:

1) Google can absolutely identify you personally; otherwise, the warrants would be useless.

2) The authorities are searching info from your phone without probable cause (aka "fishing").

3) Innocent people have been convicted for being in the wrong place at the wrong time.

As someone that had my fair share of experience with mismanaged teams, this rings very true.

For example I had to maintain a legacy PHP project, relatively old school PHP before there was even OO, plain HTML with just a bit of JS sprinkled it. Everyone complained about it and sure the code was horrible but I could dive in and be productive on day one.

Same company, more recent project with a more modern stack, trying to follow all the OO patterns and everything. I was not even able to fix minor bugs in any reasonable time even studying the code for weeks. What happened? While the developers made good technical choices and the quality of the code in isolation was fine, it was horrible mismanaged. There was no continuity, just people working on it for a couple of days then doing something totally different and forgetting everything again on repeat. Individual design decisions were "industry best practice" but the end result was something I wished I could just delete.

Everyone loves to play wiht the newest toys but you got to keep you developer vanity in check. Sometimes the boring CRUD app should use boring technology. With horrible management you will learn to hate what you once loved anyway.

I'm pretty happy with the Django projects I start out these days. Most of them are just GraphQL APIs that interact with a React SPA, with a nifty admin built right in. You don't necessarily need to use all of the components of Django to get a tremendous amount of value from using the framework. It used to be a very much "batteries included" framework, whereas now I'd consider a bit closer to "cafeteria Catholic". Still philosophically a far cry from "omakase".

> I find the classical argument with color qualia very convincing (in fact, I thought about it before even knowing what qualia were...). Nothing you can find out about wavelengths, cones, rods, neurons and so on will tell you why you see red the specific way you do, and whether my perception of red corresponds to yours or my "red" is actually your "green".

Red being green makes no sense. Let's simplify a bit and say you have a neuron for hearing the word "red", one for the visual stimuli "red" and then a sensory fusion/abstract concept of red. Several layers up you'll also have one for a "stop sign" (which also takes inputs like octagon shapes and some white letters). There are many other, more distant associations of course, we have many neurons after all.

The spoken words, physical wavelengths and stop sign design are more or less physically or socially fixed. If you magically swapped some red and green neurons then those physical stimuli wouldn't change. The brain would be forced to rewire all the associations until it arrived at the original connections again. Or it would suffer from observable mispredictions such as being more likely to respond to a green rather than a red stop sign.
Why would there be a free-floating "qualia green" neuron connected to "visual red" that is yet somehow disconnected from "physical green" and why wouldn't it update once it became miswired?

Dominating in what sense?
In addition to higher extraction costs:
1. Alberta oil doesn't get the $80+ price you see quoted on the news. Although the major price gap has narrowed dramatically it still sells at a significant discount due to type and location.
2. Access to refineries and market is a real... challenge (to put it mildly). There has been huge opposition to expanding pipeline transport, some of it genuine (Environment, Culture) and some of it driven by self-interest ($$$). I don't want to start this debate but the result is we're still using a lot of fossil fuels right now, so (a) it's more expensive, (b) it's increased dangerous transportation by rail and (c) it's increased reliance on imports from some pretty nasty places in the world.

The funny thing is I moved to Calgary in the early 2000's when oil was well under $50/bbl and the environment was one of unbounded optimism and potential. When oil hit the same price a few years ago on the way down the would have thought the world ended.

I second FastAPI! In my mind it's, "Flask, but better." The killer feature in my mind is that it leverages type hinting and dataclasses, using Pydantic, to take away a lot of the grindyy, boilerplate parts of writing an API, like type checking, dependency injection, generating good error messages, generating API documentation, ...

Even when I'm not using FastAPI now, I use Pydantic everywhere. Types in Python, while not nearly as useful as in a strongly typed language, are a dream come true.
You are conflating a couple of things. Oil sands extraction is completely different from fracking. But, you did get the basic essence right in that oil sands extraction is quite dirty and expensive.

Fracking is actually a reasonably cheap way to extract additional oil from more conventional wells. That happens in Alberta, also.

Swarm has a lot of issues. Some that are on the surface like bad networking and stemming from it scaling issues. Others are related directly to Mirantis. Company that owns docker.inc now. It neglects the swarm part of the docker, even was planning to straight up sunset swarm and move everyone to k8s. They do maintenance, and add feature or two a year which is not enough. Swarm is great for small deployments, as it only requires a docker daemon present. Otherwise you should look towards nomad/k8s/whatewer the cloud solution is.
The underlying issue here is that there is no national legal standard for responsible disclosure. ...and with all the news of foreign ransomeware gang causing havoc, prosecutors and politicians are HUNGRY to prosecute "hackers".

This is fine for the first deploy, but if you delete
a resource from your manifests then kubectl doesn’t try to delete it from the cluster, so in practice you need something like Terraform (or perhaps ArgoCD) which actually tracks state. And of course as you mention, you probably want to generate these manifests to DRY up your YAML so you can actually maintain the thing.

I would love to hear from others how they solve these problems.
