Kubernetes doesn't get patches from hyperscale companies because kubernetes is not really hyperscale software. If I recall correctly (probably don't), clusters can handle tens of thousands of container hosts. That's not manageable at large scale unless you're selling people individual kubernetes instances directly (which, to be fair, google and amazon are).

In my experience the thing that kills open source at big companies is the divergence of needs: The company needs massive scale software, but the community wants ease-of-use and features. Most open source models are a big drag on productivity (you can't just refactor all the callsites to do a migration!), and it's hard to change directions when the company's need does (since the other contributors will likely want the original software).

The tailscale people have been arguing this as well (with more data and better reasoning), but fundamentally you need different software when you're a scrappy startup or a medium size company or a giant behemoth.
Very clever and fun.

Exactly, you've answered yourself.

Also nothing prevents you from using multi zoned auto scaling group with a min/max of 1, you'll fail over to another AZ gracefully. You don't magically get 9 nines with lambda in practice either, trust me.
What a cool personal site.
> it has functions like browsing the history of one particular method etc.

That is great functionality I think. Much better than basic git where changes are just changes to a set of lines. The unit of software should be classes and methods, not files.

The reason git can't do this is that it is language neutral.

However what I find interesting is that there is a corollary between git commits and Smalltalk snapshots. It would be great if we could "merge" Smalltalk images by checking out specific git commits and merging them together. The result would then be all the source-code in your current Smalltalk image.

It is difficult if not impossible to merge two Smalltalk images. Yet it would be useful to know what are the conflicts if any between two images. Maybe Pharo already provides something in that direction?
People are throwing stones, but I suspect you didn't mean mature but perhaps "modern"? RISC-V doesn't carry all the endless legacy of 30+ years of MIPS variants and is in most ways cleaner and more streamlined (I do fear RISC-V is rushing towards its own mess, but that's another story).

MIPS (the ISA) _could_ have had RISC-V current position but I don't think MIPS (the company) could have survived. Whether the Phoenix can survive this reinvention remains to be seen. It's a very crowded space, especially for in-order processors.
Reading this, I feel like I’m seeing the past through the eyes of a US-based zoomer. This person should spend 6 months living with the locals in any 3rd-world country.
This is fantastic, I'm making an iOS application that is 100% serverless. Having no servers feels great but managing API Gateway endpoints is annoying. I don't know about performance but Google Cloud Functions definitely had an edge there, because I believe they had native function endpoints since launch.

I wonder if it's worth changing my current API Gateway endpoints to the built in Lambda URL's, since I haven't launched yet.

I draw stuff.

(Perhaps someday I will feel like making my site work better with phones. I last did major work on it before that was a concern. If there is something you would like to see me draw then perhaps we can make a deal that fixes this, whether by you getting hip-deep in Wordpress, or by paying me a couple thousand bucks for something I can knock out in a week so I can finally bother getting my local dev copy working and fix it myself.)
Nice domain name you got there. I did something similar and registered jason.id (was going to use it for email but didn't quite work out).
This might get interesting as grad students in science are there to be trained. This involves research, and in lieu of paying tuition a research or teaching assistantship might be provided. A few students bring their own funds, but I never did anything with that good a school/prof. Yeah, I handled recitations, graded exams or proctored labs. But my major purpose was to complete the requirements of getting accredited in the PhD program (courses, cumulatives/proposals and then a prelim). That took, on average 2.5 years. From there, 1-2 years of research that (hopefully) generated the data/results to get out. Throw in some odds and ends that the prof felt should be added and that meant that writing up started in the 4th or 5th year. More if it involved lab work and less if it didn't.

Each chapter of the dissertation was a paper, roughly, and if the papers were written before graduation then "stapling them together" made the dissertation easier to pull off. Otherwise, writing the 100-300 page document took 3-6 months and a fair bit of red ink. Once that was done, defend successfully and head off to the job or postdoc previously arranged. Getting the dissertation -> papers was critical in getting the cv started.

Yeah, I did things in lieu of paying tuition which support my time 4 years and summers. This made me an employee that worked, say, 10 hours a week to justify this support. Way less than I spent doing my research, library and computer work. If I had heartburn with such support/work, I could have always supported myself paying 3 semester hours 3x yearly and feeding and housing myself. I was a student, after all, and the ability of a grad student truly helping anything but an assistant prof is quite limited.

So, be careful what you ask for... If grad school is to be viewed as a job it's going to take longer than if it was an avocation. In synthetic chemistry, for example, running 1 or 2 reactions a day (including setup and workup) has a huge impact on the duration of one's research. Fortunately, laptops run unattended so theoretical/computational types have a staggering advantage over lab denizens.

And if the departments feel too pressured, they can always divorce the TA's from the grad students and deal directly with adjuncts. Far cleaner process and no overhead. RA's is harder, but I'm sure any mid-senior prof would get more work done with post-docs rather than 2-3rd year grad students. See Dyson's comments on Youtube vs. his distaste for the PhD process and how the Institute at Princeton didn't muck about with them.

Grad school, for my me and my peers, was the start of the process not significant in and of itself. I would be concerned that the more "complete" grad school becomes the shorter one's career might be (assuming a constant 40 year window of opportunity). If you have golden hands or are lucky/excellent, you will do well no matter what system is used to handle grad students. If, however, you're more typical or might have second thoughts... hope the process is as tolerant of such students as possible.

Thank you! Fascinating, I didn't know about panoptic segmentation - that makes things much more interesting.

This is a nice report regarding new locations for the bluestones, but I was hoping it'd be talking about the "story" of Stonehenge. Modern archaeology and anthropological theory has transformed our understanding of Stonehenge, its purpose, and its relationship to nearby monuments, notably Woodhenge and the Durrington Walls.

The whole area is filled with amazing neolithic monuments and structures, and benefits greatly from a personalized guide. Be well prepared up-front. We picked Laurence Davies (https://oldburytours.co.uk/), who was excellent.

China really does not have a choice. Its main vaccine, made by Sinovac, isn't effective against Omicron [1]. Additionally, there is a large population of elderly people who are vulnerable with or without a vaccine. Same thing that happened in Hong Kong (death rate per million got to 3x the US' in its worst week) but in a scale 200x larger. Scary.

He wouldn't quantify his direct revenue impact, much as engineers who work on Borg and other infra don't. Or, he might point to a systems performance working group he helped chair and show that that working group improved performance of some syscall by n% (or added a new one that was n% faster) which when applied across all compute at Google has a wide revenue impact. (Or really he'd be at a leadership level where he'd need to show that the working group he lead did that a dozen times, but you get the idea).

My kids are natively bilingual, with their mother speaking to them in Spanish¹ and me in English from infancy. They're about to be 8 and are curious about other languages (my son wants to learn French, my daughter Japanese). It's interesting to see how they have fairly different personalities depending on their linguistic context. In English, my daughter is more extroverted, my son more introverted, the reverse is the case in Spanish. I don't think it's a matter of comfort in the languages—my son has had a strong attention to gradations of meaning between words in both languages. I’m looking forward to seeing how their linguistic skills develop as they get older. If it weren’t for Covid, they would have started French classes on weekends last year, but maybe we’ll get there in the next year or so. Otherwise, they may have to pick up French from visits with their Mexican/Belgian cousins.

⸻

1. My wife is a native speaker of Spanish. Her English is accentless² and she has above-average reading/speaking/writing skills in English. She also speaks French.³

2. Mostly. Schwas still trip her up from time to time.

3. Most of her family is at least trilingual, speaking English, Spanish and one other language. I think her cousin with the most languages has five: English, Spanish, French, German and Arabic. At his sister's wedding, he gave a toast in French with a flawless accent⁴ that blew me away. I often joke that I almost speak one language, but I haven't learned all the words in English yet. I'm semi-functional in Spanish, but my kids are quick to point out that my accent is “horrible” and with my hearing loss, it’s a challenge to participate in conversations. There are a few languages I can read with a dictionary, but I don’t know that I can claim any facility in them.⁵

4. I suspected that his accent was good, but I verified it with the francophones at his sister’s wedding (she married a quadrilingual Belgian).

5. One thing I’ve found is that in general, Americans tend to overestimate their linguistic abilities and non-Americans to underestimate their skills. It’s typical that someone who took a couple years of French in high school ten years ago and hasn’t used it since will claim that they speak French. A European who says that they speak “a little” Italian will be able to function just fine in a conversation with an Italian.

Nothing much, some thoughts on startups, some development tutorials and personal thoughts
This was a delightful read. Modern eating really feels like an exercise in alienation by contrast: I try to be mindful of the things I purchase, and even still I barely understand how the ingredients are formed into the final product.
It’s a spiritual digression. Our best developers didn’t come up from a hazing. We failed in assessing talent, so we resorted to this.

We have yet to see outsized results from the leetcode group, but we have seen outsized results from the pre-non-leetcode group.

Results matter, as the leetcode dipshits would say.

Your question is "how to create a successful startup" then.

Successful startups create something that people want (product-market fit).

How do you create something people want? Solve problems in your own life, or solve problems that you think about a lot, have some expertise in, etc.

With the highly infectious variant, a complete lockdown will certainly slow transmission, but you won't be able to drive it to zero cases unless you're willing to lock down the city for months.

Their goal is to isolate people until nobody is infectious, but since they aren't doing it individually, but typically by household, you can't just isolate for 2 weeks and be done. If one person is infected, they might transmit it to someone else before recovery, then that person gives it to another person before recovering. Start sequentially stacking the 2-3 week isolations and in a crowded household you might need to wait for 4-6 isolation cycles (2-3 months?) before there are no more new infections.

And that ignores the essential workers like healthcare, sanitation, food transportation, preparation, delivery. All it take is 1 infected person to start all over again.

Zero covid is just not practical once an outbreak gets beyond a very small cluster. But that won't stop China from trying.
Life is risk management. One tries to maximize the quality and duration of life and this usually gains from minimizing risk. So good luck with your choices...

And, it's fully possible that surviving Ebola provides lifetime immunity. To my knowledge, nobody has done that experiment. HIV, on the other hand, should be renamed (really) long HIV as we can keep you alive for decades - you just have to work at it.

Covid seems to be stable and people can deal with it. Hopefully it stays that way and truly ends up acting like a cold. But whatever it will do will occur on its schedule, independent of people's thoughts, hopes and prayers. And some people will fail their saving throw or earn points for a Darwin award.
I think history illustrates vividly that when democratic power is watered down by other means of power, the end result is bad for the people as a whole.

Democracy in 2020 in the United States looked more like 1890 than 1980. That’s not good for anyone.

And the regressive elements I reference exist by peddling fear and anger without addressing the source of the grievance or the problem faced. Someday, the people in places like Kansas will figure it out. In the meantime, folks will feast on the bread and circus of “LGBTQ”, or whatever is being served up by the outrage of the month club.
As a startup, there are two reasons why you’d ever consider filling out one of these RFPs:

1) you can paste bullet points from your pricing page directly into it and you’re not being dishonest by doing so

2) you have developed a champion internally (in which case, the bullet points from your pricing page should be pasted into it)

If you’re selling into an enterprise and haven’t reached a security or procurement review, but have been asked for a lengthy RFP response, focus team effort elsewhere.

Here's my humble site. let me know what you think!

Market forces are moving in your favor. Most European companies have completely saturated their target markets for outsourcing (Barcelona, Estonia, Czech Republic) and Russia & Ukraine are suddenly unavailable options due to a war. Also the local markets have much more demand for engineers than are available to fill it.

There has been a large push in the last two years to recruit Americans and Canadians to fill their unmet needs and salaries have been climbing rapidly. Salaries for new job postings in Berlin are about where they were at in New York 3-4 years ago which is EXCELLENT for that market (seriously, two years ago salaries were maybe half of what they are now).

If you're in Europe and you haven't been interviewing you should look around and maybe even use a recruiter. My own recruiter has been feeding me opportunities across Europe with pretty much equal money to what I'm getting here in the States.

It's likely that if you haven't changed jobs in the last two years that you're leaving significant amounts of money on the table. That said, I know that chasing after money isn't fashionable or socially acceptable to most Europeans...but the new hires are going to get it -- why shouldn't you?

Two points of opinion on this:

1) There is no true randomness

2) Absolute security is not necessary or useful

#1, because of cause and effect, in other words if you are an absolute observer who knows the state of all matter and energy and can retain infinite information of that knowledge then by knowing cause and effect of all things nothing is random to you. So in a true sense it isn't possible, so 'true random' is relative to the ability of the observer to measure cause and effect.

#2, Because security is securitu of something against some other threat. Outside of theory, no one will face an absolute threat that threatens everything. A threat with finite ability to do harm intends to do harm against specific and measurable resources by abusing a finite number of vulnerabilities.

Threat x Vulnerability = Risk of harm

In reality, this equation applies on a finite but large number of threats and attack vectors. Where humans exists, Threat will always be greater than 0. In the article's context, they seek to reduce vulnerability to 0 so risk multiplies to 0 but even looking at only crypto vulns, a one way function with 0 vulns still needs a key to reverse it and management if that key will also need to have 0 risk, otherwise the net risk is still not zero. If AES is replaced by a new provably unbreakable cipher, what will meaninguly change about risk assesment?

I think the premise is you somehow can stop worrying about some non-specific threats. But if you specify your threat, for example as 1 and your reduce your vuln to 0.000001 then your risk of 0.000001 is negligible. Absolute 0 is not useful other than to help you feel better.

> After Intel had flatly denied to change their CPU dispatcher, I decided that the most efficient way to make them change their minds was to create publicity about the problem. I contacted several IT magazines, but nobody wanted to write about it. Sad, but not very surprising, considering that they all depend on advertising money from Intel.

Sorry to go on this tangent: but is capitalism so rotten that everything eventually corrupts? Here even outlets for discussion on topics of science and technology self-censure to maximize profit. So much for freedom of speech.

Apple is #32 in contributor commits[1]. Between SAP and Glassdoor, with ~7000 commits. You need to start adding zeroes and then some to get to Google's number of commits.

We shouldn't just measure in commits. I'd be interested to hear the case made. Where has Apple lead in Kubernetes? What have been their major initiatives? That'd be interesting to hear.
