> Implying that a male researcher launched some kind of inappropriate sexed attack by criticising their work is thoroughly bizarre to me.

They’re not implying it they are outright claiming that was his motivation for not letting it drop before he got fired.

Most reasonable people would just stop when told “dude, you’re gonna get fired if you keep it up” but some people just can’t do that for whatever reason. Either way they decided back in the 70s women don’t have to deal with harassment as part of their job and whatever your opinion on how this is enforced it is pure and simple fact you will be fired over a corporation going to the mat to defend you against accusations related to this. Well, unless you’re a CEO of one of the Silicon Valley unicorns then you can do whatever you want.
Decriminalizing while not doing anything to discourage public use is probably the worst of both worlds. People look at Portugal like it was decriminalization alone that solved everything, but it didn't. They actively dissuade use and refer caught users to treatment.

With the backing of psychologists and other health-care professionals, the law decriminalized the use and possession of up to 10 days' worth of narcotics or other drugs for individuals' own use. (Dealers still go to jail.) Instead of facing prison time and criminal records, users who are caught by police go before a local three-person commission for the dissuasion of drug addiction, a panel typically composed of a lawyer plus some combination of a physician, psychologist, social worker or other health-care professional with expertise in drug addiction.
The commission assesses whether the individual is addicted and suggests treatment as needed. Nonaddicted individuals may receive a warning or a fine. However, the commission can decide to suspend enforcement of these penalties for six months if the individual agrees to get help—an information session, motivational interview or brief intervention—targeted to his or her pattern of drug use. If that happens and the person doesn't appear before the commission again during the six-month period, the case is closed.

It sounds like you’ve never had to deal with an addict in your close personal circle. I’m glad for you.

When addicts cannot find a supply of their chosen drug, they’ll steal from anyone, even those closest to them, to fund their addiction. If they go homeless, you can’t give them money because you can’t trust that they won’t just use it to buy more drugs. This is to ignore the fact that buying most hard drugs directly funds the Mexican drug cartels and the atrocities they commit in many countries.

This is also to ignore the terrible and unrecoverable health effects that many drugs have. Have you heard of meth mouth? Meth rots your teeth no matter how much you brush them [0]. It also causes permanent brain damage but I find that the kind of people pushing to legalize meth find losing teeth to be a worse outcome.

Jail isn’t the best outcome for inmates, sure, but it’s the cheapest. If you’re a Governor of a US state and your voters see that you took money away from schools, the police, the fire department, or the roads to give to addicts instead, you’re not going to get re-elected.

I don't know my dude, all 3 major clouds offer "canned" k8s services that you can set up in a ridiculously short amount of time with Terraform and your CI platform of choice.

I agree with some other comments in this thread about a general fervor in the Enterprise space to "modernize" needlessly. This conversation usually lands on the company copying what everyone else is doing or what Gartner tells them to do. Cue "DevOps".

100 percent agree with your comments on something simpler. I can't tell you how many times I've debated with our Analytics teams to just use Docker Compose/Swarm.
Well, many who think HFT provides a genuine service also have a horse in that race, so I'm not sure that it's wrong to go with your gut on that one.
Oh, I never would, and in that case I have no idea why people would do cocaine at all, because when I have too much coffee I get full of unsourced anxiety and the need to poop.
The DevOps jobs are to configure and maintain Kubernetes. The problem is K8S is a general-purpose solution that's being used for managing an application comprised of container images. It's way overcomplicated for that task, but that's already been noted here in this thread. I know of proprietary solutions that greatly simplify DevOps compared to K8S, but they're proprietary.

All commodity prices are ultimately labor cost. No one else than people get paid!

The cost of apples depend on the labor cost of apple pickers and farmers, etc.

As a consumer it's easy to think of apples as something that "just appears" in the store. If you feel argumentative, that view is a way of dehumanizing the people working in the apple supply chain.

If the government gave out guaranteed subsidized car loans of $70k to anyone and everyone, do you think average car prices would go down?

The theory is that anytime you subsidize anything, you tend to increase consumption of it. Increased consumption tends to increase price. It's unclear to me that is always the case in practice, but that's my layman's understanding.
You can be right without the other person being wrong if you aren't addressing something they said.

Personally, company retreats are generally a big turn-off for me. I prefer traveling with my family. And if I have to travel for work, I prefer it to be about the actual work and not about going someplace with the rest of the company to stand in a conference room chanting weird slogans or what not. If the work is interesting, I'd rather keep doing that and if it isn't, a company retreat is _not_ going to help.

> It's that I've drawn a different conclusion

You've drawn the wrong conclusions, evident by you leading your argument with "pedo guy".

> The fact that he works as many hours as he claims isn't a good thing.

Good is too vague. Good for what? It's probably not good for his general well being. But then neither is sitting and watching Netflix. Long hours is necessary to achieve his goals as he has laid out for Tesla and SpaceX. And not just for him, for everyone who works at those companies.

> It's not good that he has had so many romantic partners

That's his private business. You should perhaps look into swinging. That may broaden your horizons about what is good and isn't in respect to number of romantic partners.

> it isn't good that he has so many kids that he clearly isn't raising

He's raising them better than 99.9% of parents out there (and he better, given the resources he has).

> it isn't good that he is publicly so out of balance

That doesn't mean anything!

> It isn't good that he now is facing sexual misconduct allegations.

So did Assange, and then they dropped it. An allegation by itself is not a proof of anything. It is however a very good signal that someone is either getting too famous, too powerful and nothing else has worked to stop them.

> None of those things are respectable.

None of the things you listed are valid or of any significance.

> None of those things are OK for a role model to be modeling.

He's led people to do their beyond best effort to achieve things that have been deemed impossible over the last 20 years, and made the world better for everyone. That's what you should be paying attention to, not his number of romantic partners.

> We need to stop idolozong people for simply being rich and famous and good engineers

He's rich and famous, because he's a visionary and a leader. The fact that you think people idolize him for being "rich" is yet ANOTHER clear evidence that you know little of him. You're basically equating Musk with Kardashians.

I share your perspective here. I use dialyzer on my Elixir projects but only to let it check what it can infer on its own without me having to add specs. It can find a ton on its own and I appreciate the automated set of eyes.

> what is considered a reasonable "lightweight" alternative to Kubernetes these days

Before I used Kubernetes for my side projects and only at work I always thought it's hard to operate and very tricky. If you start with an empty "default" cluster and then just add bits when you need them it's actually not that complicated and doesn't feel too heavyweight. I'd suggest to just play around with a simple example and then see how it goes.

There's things that are used in "production" clusters that you don't need at the beginning, like rbac rules, Prometheus annotations etc.
As the owner of several TomTom devices, who tried a smartphone and google maps as an alternative, my experience is that the maps are of higher quality and the navigation recommendations better.

I have no issue with TLS in Gemini, just that it is pretty hypocritical in my mind to cite simplicity as a driving factor, but then use a complex-to-implement TLS system.

Anyway I think you have missed my point - it is not about what the "immutable spec" says, but the risk that people go their own way and do their own things with Gemini. Favicons is one thing and may be "solved", but there will be more in the future that people will add, e.g. you are already seeing abuse of the preformated block and it's alt-tag to embed markdown content and tables "illegally". I guess the all-powerful immutable spec won't be able to be updated to handle that though. Oh well.

That's an interesting second-order effect right? Before Kubernetes et al, it was so much work or so complex that few companies implemented those things. Kubernetes saves so much work, that now everyone is doing it and it feels like more work.

"Things" here mean different things for different people. For me, it's secrets/certs, better rolling deploys and infra as code.

> There are over 16 million vacant homes in the US[0].

This sounds like a very large number, but large compared to what? The key thing to look at is how does it compare to the past? If there's no substantial difference today in this rate versus the past, then maybe idle homes might not be the biggest factor. I don't know the answer to this or where to lookup this stat.

> There is also only over 500k homeless people in the US[1] meaning we could house each homeless person around 32 times over. I think it could make quite a large dent

Homelessness is sort of a separate and off-topic issue largely involving mental health and drug abuse and cannot be viewed as being solvable simply by using idle homes. You could give each homeless person a mansion, and many of them would be ruined beyond repair in a short amount of time due to all kinds of unfathomable reasons like very ill people using a hammer to search for demons hiding in the walls.

A tool or technology that adds work is extremely useful.

- more employees needed

- more direct reports for managers

- more jobs for x technology

- more people learning x technology because of those jobs

- more StackOverflow questions for x

- more money to be made in teaching x

- more learning material for x

The amount of benefits you receive is less than if you worked for the same benefits sans kubernetes. So it definitely saves a ton of work, but your latter point still stands that most of the time the benefits aren't always as... beneficial to some stages of development/scale so it's actually just adding work for the sake of it.

Indiana University has long had an excellent music school. E.g., one of the violin professors was J. Gingold, long Concert Master at Cleveland. A cello professor was J. Starker, long a well known, good recording artist.

I liked music a LOT, had recordings of dozens of the most famous pieces from Bach through Tchaikovsky.

And I was a math grad student, but my dorm building was next to the music school with a lot of music majors. One of the violin students put his old Italian violin under my left chin and gave me a first lesson. So, I signed up for a course in violin, just me and one teacher, a violin student in the school. He was terrific, far ahead of what I as a beginner, deserved! E.g., after the semester was over, he played the Brahms concerto in Toronto!

But I did get a start. I continued, and took some more lessons off and on. Eventually I made it through a few pages of some of the famous music, e.g., the Bach Chaconne.

The student there at Indiana University I met again later, and he had swapped his old Italian violin for one made in NYC. His statement was that what he got new was as good as any of the old Italian instruments. That is, net, somehow some modern violin makers have learned how to make violins that are among the best ever.

Just how to do that? Uh, instead of what is in the OP, just talk to some such violin makers!

> The average employee likely has 10-20 (hopefully) different sets of credentials that they must maintain and update as necessary

That's your red flag right there. All identities that are tied to individual people should be connected to SSO in some way, then there will be no juggling of passwords at all on the individual-person level. Then you only need some 2FA solution on top in your identity provider, for instance TOTP or FIDO, and you're all set. (Corollary: If at all possible, only pick external services that can plug into your company's own SSO.)

For credentials not tied to individual people, e.g. root passwords on devices, my org uses HashiCorp Vault, and we're mostly satisfied with it. It's a bit of a struggle to configure the policies so that each group of (human/technical) users only has access to the secrets that they actually need, but I won't put the blame for that on Vault.
>Monthly payments on your mortgage are lower which reduces the cost of housing

DevOps isn't a job. DevOps is a system to work with people directly and find out what they need and give them things that enable them to get their job done faster, while also getting enough information to make sure the product stays online and reliable. What people call "a DevOps role" today is just sysadmin or sysop or syseng or SRE.

Back in the day we cobbled together solutions out of different parts because it gave us a strategic advantage over monolithic commercial solutions. It was cheaper, but it was also easy to customize and fit to product & user needs. Yes configuration management was a nightmare, and it came back from the dead as Terraform, because instead of an OS with mutable state we now have a Cloud with mutable state. Docker and Packer and a few other solutions have fixed a lot of the mutable state issues, but databases are still flawed and SaaS is still just a mucky mess of unversioned mutable state and nonstandard uncomposeable poorly documented APIs.

With Kubernetes, we're back in the land of commercial monolithic products. Technically you can build it yourself and customize it all, but it's expensive and time consuming and difficult because of how many components there are tied together. It "gives you everything you need" the way the International Space Station does. Do you need a space station, or a barn?

People get so wrapped up in terminology. Declarative doesn't mean anything other than "not procedural"; it's not better than procedural, it's just different. Plenty of declarative things are a tire fire. Infrastructure as Code just means "there is some code that is committed to git that can manage my servers". A shell script calling AWS CLI is IaC. Doesn't make it a good solution.

You can't just install a piece of software and be done. That's the entire point of the DevOps movement, really. It's not about what you use, it's all about how you use it. Work with humans to figure out what will work for your specific situation. Use your brain. Don't just install some software because it's trendy and hope it will fix all your problems.
Big chains can't "afford" losses. If a store is losing money then they'll bring in an experienced manager to turn it around, and if that doesn't work then they'll shut it down.
