The relevant metric here is not how much code you can write or quickly you can write it, but how difficult and impactful the code being written is.

Many widely-used and industry-shaping pieces of software were (at least initially) the product of just a single programmer, or at most a small handful of core developers. When other people joined it, it is often after the software had some initial success.
Let's talk about storage & load-balancing in the context of k8s. You are only truly cloud agnostic if you are not using your cloud provider's load balancer or storage replication tools.

Run k8s on bare metal with metallb, and something like ranchers longhorn. Then, when you've got that working, move it into the cloud. Run it all on VMs and not cloud-managed k8s. Then you probably still aren't quite there, because IAM and S3 and so on.

In short being cloud agnostic is dumb. Just know that you will have some vendor lock-in.

Pick how much you can tolerate, and live with the rest.

IMHO, it's a stupid constraint. Just pick a provider and go all in.

If not, get the definition from management and skate as close to it as you can.
Setting aside the question of utility (ease of use issues),

English spelling is also a "side channel" which persists information about the word which is lost (recoverable only via lookup) when spelling is normalized.

With things as they are, the etymology of words is often visible in their spelling; this has practical implications such as imparting shades of meaning through allusion, which are one reason English has retained lots of near-synonyms, but not discarded them. This means it allows for a particular kind of nuance.

As a native speaker of English I find the relative paucity of vocabulary confounding (or comical); it is now expected in my (bilingual) household that when where English draws distinctions, Spanish reuses. My German-speaking father in law is always entertaining us with cases where German constructs words through liberal compounding, where English doesn't.

Which is just to say, problems aside, English's maddening spelling almost always encodes useful information. For some uses. (Not tech docs, but more than poetry.)

Interesting footnote to this: English has many "backformations," cases where the spelling of some words has conformed over time to that of similar words from other languages, even when they etymologically unrelated. My favorite example of this is "strawberry" in which the "berry" is a backformation.
Surface Duo + slowly building Surface brand properly is "giving up"?

It's amazing how much the experiences of mail hosting vary. I've run my own email for decades and have never had the kind of deliverability problems that people seem to go on about. I've had the occasional isolated incident (perhaps like 6 in 20+ years), and if I'm sending a critical business message I often tail the log to make sure it actually goes out. But in general it's been quite straightforward.

It's also worth noting that even if deliverability is a problem, that doesn't affect incoming messages! So you can most certainly grab your own domain, create a subdomain for account validation emails, and mitigate the single point of failure for your online life.
Raising interest rates wont be far off if it is in collapse.
Many people can’t read as quickly as you can. My husband for instance speaks English as a second language. Reading is a large investment of time for him; conversely if he does read something, his comprehension is greater than mine. On the flip side, for spoken content I tune out almost immediately, while he is immersed.

I know not everyone is ESL, but it shouldn’t be surprising that different people have different levels of speed and comfort with reading vs audio content.

There are of course things one could criticize them for. I still believe it’s a useful and interesting publication. And quite unique, dare I say.
We don't know that - and sadly, it's not that unlikely. But if they don't retreat from those regions while it's still an unknown, it will just give Russia pretext to invade entire Ukraine. They don't have a lot to lose by retreating and potentially everything to win if Russia backs off. There's not a chance anyway they would be able to take those regions back.
But when a gasoline engine doesn't knock, you can get more power out of it by consuming more fuel faster and more smoothly though.

No, you get more power out of it by advancing the timing and increasing the compression, both of which will cause an engine to knock with lower octane fuels. Perhaps that's what you are saying, but it didn't seem clear to me.

Thanks for the extensive write-up. Many of these types of questions can thankfully be answered on a dyno, but a little knowledge of what's going on never hurts.

Twitter is designed to produce shallow hot takes of the most superficial nature.
It drives engagement by stoking maximum outrage among its participants, encouraging online mob action.

Take a close look at the mosaic in the article. There's no precise fitwork going on there. All the fitted pieces are cut versions of the square tiles, which can be done today with a simple nipper, like using scissors to cut cardboard. The cuts are all straight, not curved.

> The President of Ukraine and all official channels say they do NOT believe a full-scale invasion will happen.

First, he is a politician. My rational explanation for his words is to cooldown the emotions. Back in last week, you could see news about many oligarchs departing the country, while others trying to cash out every asset they have. Standing enemies at the borders is economically tragic for the whole country. Trying to sell other, non-catastrophic vision is his duty.

Secondly, there were many variants of the invasion. The full-scale operation often means the Russia forces will attack the entire Ukraine - eastern, central and the western. Many experts say this scenario is highly unlikely, because there will be too many casualties on both sides.
I am not even sure how much I buy this story.

Maybe Joe is doing some kind of gorilla marketing strategy for his novels and poems based off that Dostoevsky story.

I just have a hard to believing someone is putting in that much effort to pretend being this guy when the only thing that looks to have much attention on his twitter is this story.

The whole video chat and that interaction sounds like complete BS.
The basic M.O. here is not new: (1) Present the basic math of exponential growth to show that exponential growth cannot continue indefinitely; (2) claim that sustaining our present lifestyle would require exponential growth to continue indefinitely; (3) conclude that our present lifestyle cannot be sustained.

This is definitely about humiliation of the West and subjugation of Ukraine.

Putin doesn't care about defensible border with China. In fact they don't care about the Chinese ambitions in South Siberia at all. And those ambitions are much clearer than any idea that NATO or European countries might want to invade Russia.

Putin's only worry is avoiding the fate of Sadam and Qaddafi and for that, in his mind, he needs to keep waging wars around Russia (and support struggling dictators all over the world, but that's unrelated to this conflict).

Well, that was never more than barely following the news, and arguably closer to following distractions from the news.
Does the flu typically spread at home or only outside the house? #2 is an interesting idea. Florida had a record number of visitors last year (118 million), would it be so accurate then to say travel was curtailed there?
Wim hof breathing could help.

Honestly there's a list of supplements and techniques that can help. From meditation and cold showers to magnesium and black seed oil. They are all employed for anxiety, but you have to try them yourself one by one. But for most people, just going to a doctor is the simplest thing and the thing they're most likely to stick to. It's hard to try supplements, them failing week after week, until you find the right thing. It can be done but most people only do that when they've exhausted all the other options. Exhaust your options first

Is Putin even interested in making them into sovereign states? I don’t see how it achieves any of Russia’s goals. It hardly widens the Volgograd Gap.

I think concessions from the West would be better for Russia. But since they aren’t giving them any, Putin seemingly had to go in with his “peacekeeping force” or be called on his bluff.

I think Putin might plan to invade Ukraine to the point of making a land bridge to Crimea. Because I don’t see how Russia’s position has been improved with this move, even if Ukraine backs off from Donetsk and Luhansk completely.
>> How? Using which political, economic, and financial tools? And what will be the side effects of those policies?

There's a simple answer for that: please look at communist Poland 1980-1989 - trying to counter raising prices with government intervention leads to supply crisis (since production is not economically viable anymore). Imagine all stores having nothing to sell, literally empty shelves, forcing common people to fight for scrapes.

Similar to you, I started skiing at 45, the same time as my almost 4yr old did. That first season, I remember falling a few times, but absolutely not more than 20 for the whole season.

Four years later, I have a ski crazy 7yr old who rips down blacks full tilt. I fall in very choppy or icy conditions somehow trying to keep him in sight. Didn’t fall at all today, fell once yesterday in chop. In decent conditions, I rarely fall, but as I’m the designated driver, I really don’t push things too hard.

Also firmly in the wear a helmet camp. A lot of US ski and snowboard films show athletes who forgo this, and I generally try to avoid letting the kid watch them.

Favourite ski films are Supervention and Supervention 2. Both are generally free online (try Redbull TV).
The interesting thing about Putin's presidential decrees [1][2] is that they do not actually say anything about what the borders of DNR/LNR are. They just say, "recognize ... as a sovereign and independent state".

I rather suspect that this is deliberate, to allow for flexible interpretation as needed. On one hand, it's obvious justification for pushing beyond the actual territory controlled by DNR/LNR. On the other, if they don't actually do that, or try and are stopped, they can always claim that that was the plan all along, and "mission accomplished".

But isn't this discussion about whether rolling stops are okay when nobody else is around you?
I spent years without a TV at all and haven't watched any sort of broadcast or cable regularly since like 2004. As a result, I have a few distinct memories of "news events" that persist like visits to a carnival of madmen.

The disappearance of MH 370 was on literally non-stop on CNN in particular, and we'd walk out of the hotel lobby to see the same group of people repeating that basically nothing had changed but oh my god maybe this personage or another will have something soon, walking back in the evening past the same thing, for days.

It's really no wonder people came up with insane conspiracies about it, because for like two solid weeks multiple TV channels were going on about it as if the world had ended.
I'm glad they are adopting it. Login.gov was always kind of funny, like here use this to login to all US govt resources...except for this service, and this service, and all these services...
This. Cloud agnosticism is a questionable goal. I say go all in on at least one. Or maybe more. If your are "multi-cloud" while embracing any feature of each you don't need the agnosticism to get leverage over the vendor (however much it might be)

There was a regional issue for several hours. Just because a site is working for you doesn't mean that there are not issues. That being said, it appears to be resolved as of now (at least for me).

Sorry to see this one not mentioned.
login.gov is open source! They also encrypt user data in a way that they can't access it without the user's password, precluding the formation of a national registry that could be used towards nefarious and anti-democratic purposes. As a result, account recovery looks a lot like re-registration, which I think is a great thing.

https://github.com/18F/identity-idp

It's built on Rails, and I'm really impressed at the engineering decisions that were made here, from choice of technologies to level of transparency. I wish all public sector projects could exhibit the same leadership and competence demonstrated for login.gov--the interface is even a pleasure to use, which is hard to say for most government online services outside of the UK and parts of Canada in my experience. Bravo!
And that is a reasonable thing to want. It's just not what this law will give you.
Are you sure?

Or are they just not showing you, via your UI, what they're collecting into their data pools anymore?
I also host my mail server on a hetzner server since the mid 2010s. As long as you familiarize yourself with the mechanisms (dkim, dmarc, spf, etc.) and have a mail-tester.com 10/10 score and sometimes look at mxtoolbox, it is absolutely doable. My only major issues were sending to gmail, t-online (telekom) and outlook addresses. But there are also ways to unlock the ip addresses and the delivery team at outlook.com was very helpful.
Yeah, but they don't call it "regex" which would be the scary part.
Hard disagree.

Watching/reading/consuming modern news is too stress-inducing (as it is designed to be) just to have something to chat about or become more well-informed about issues that in large part have no bearing on me.

I pay attention to issues that are important to me at scopes that matter - state and municipal. Everything else is noise.
As tossthere put it: "Who decided that this was important to you, and why did you let them decide that?"

Can't help but think of this when I start forming an opinion about what Dr. Seuss should do with his old books, etc. All kinds of trivial issue the news and social media prompts me to think about. Why do I care? Especially since I'm not going to do anything about it. There are more important causes to fight for, and I don't have the time to take action for trivial things. If I'm not going to act, and cannot influence the situation, why bother even forming an opinion?

It didn’t make it illegal but it put some serious restriction on what and for how long you can log stuff.
It's what people prefer to live in given options most of the time though. For all the benefits of living in a dense urban core with walkable everything a lot of people like the quieter suburbs. It's also that the story of "making it" usually involves having your own detached family single family house which pushes people to that as well.

Yogi Berra famously said something like "Nobody goes to that restaurant anymore, it's always too crowded".

It takes similar logic to claim there's a mass migration away from places with high housing prices.

Prices are high because more people want to live there than want to leave.

If more people wanted to leave, prices would fall.

That's not a pyramid scheme, it's supply and demand.

A lot of people are dunking on this post but none are showing a terminal career path that stays in tech and is something other than:

I think hockey fans should count their blessings!

As a lifelong baseball fan and someone who works with data for a living the analytics revolution is killing the sport. People discovered that sacrifice bunts weren't worthwhile, but they were really fun to watch in a way that walks and strikeouts aren't. There wasn't enough respect for baseball as a cultural game.

I'm surprised that the league hasn't pushed harder for optimizing fan enjoyment in the same way that they optimized for winning.

I know less about basketball but I hear the same thing there, that 3 point shots have replaced a lot of interesting dynamics at mid range.

Interestingly, in football the analytics playstyle is more dynamic and exciting. A lot riskier and more explosive offensive plays compared to the traditional style. I wonder whether the league guided that (in terms of what data was made available, or by learning from the mistakes of baseball) or if they just got lucky.
I used to struggle greatly with ADHD, but recently got on Vyvanse and that was a HUGE help for me.

My older brother also struggled, but he got on Prozac for his anxiety and he has suddenly become a freaking SUPER HUMAN. I've considered dropping the Vyvanse and switching to Prozac because I have multiple friends and family on it, and the switch from before and after is STARK. And POSITIVE.

It is amazing to see someone who previously struggled with anxiety, to the point that I thought this friend DESPISED ME, to becoming a friendly pal of mine after he found a way to manage his anxiety (prozac).

Our brains are not designed to sit in an office and coax functionality out of a computer. We used to be hunters and prey creatures, and that lizard brain still lives in our bodies constantly reminding us of that a sabre-tooth tiger could be lurking nearby. Or that the other human across from you may try to steal your chance at successfully breeding etc...

Point being, humans have a lot of emotions in modern life that are not always helpful for the way we now have to live.

The VA still uses ID.me - so most veterans have an account anyway (I needed one to get a certificate of eligibility for a VA home loan). I had to add an authorization for the IRS on my ID.me to stop the child credit advance checks from coming last year (that should have never been an opt-out). I also had a few other govt systems I needed to access when I was a defense worker that used it.

So hopefully other agencies will move away from ID.me as well.
