How do you feel about the benefits of using containers?

And if you do use containers, how do you feel about the benefits of orchestrating them, instead of running something like Docker Compose? E.g. having overlay networks and being able to deploy a new version of your software on multiple nodes simultaneously?

I've found that even when you don't want K8s, something like Docker Swarm or Hashicorp Nomad may still have benefits for you, depending on what you're trying to do. Swarm is basically feature-complete, boring and just like adding multi-node capabilities on top of Docker Compose anyways. Nothing to install apart from Docker and nothing to configure, apart from executing a cluster init/join command.
I think they are led to believe it’s a good bet to make early.
How about this proposal – since the Gun Control Act of 1968, there has been a minimum age of 21 to buy handguns under US federal law, why not extend that to long guns as well? President Trump publicly proposed this in 2018 (after the Parkland shooting), but soon after dropped the idea under pressure from the NRA and other gun lobby groups. What is wrong with that proposal? It really seems like the NRA is just opposed to any stricter regulation whatsoever.

In the US carriers do affect the update process for carrier locked phones. I'm sure there are other places where similar practices take place.

I don't find that. I see ambiguity all the time. Right now it even seems like the majority of arguments online happen because of equivocation. (I'm not saying grammar could fix that though :P)
IMHO crypto space is good because the banking sector finally sees they have some competition. And crypto space is global, not tied to country banking sector lobbying (pardon, regulation :P). So, for example, in my country (and I believe many others as well), we have many banks. Still, you can't see competition between them - they usually charge the same/similar fees and give you a similar package. None of them will provide you with some specific derivatives (e.g., currency rate hedging) unless you are a multi-million player, etc.

Is there a scam in the crypto market? Sure, just like it was rampant in the Forex market many years ago. But, you still can find fair players and need to know where to look for them.

PS: I believe this backslash mostly comes from people competing against the crypto market in some way. I could see on Twitter that the loudest are those who are heavily invested in (or will try to sell you at some point) gold, oil, stock market, etc.
Please note that in many places 5k€/month is a huge sum of money for a salary. Even in western Europe, and in France more specifically, many devs i know are payed 1-2x minimum wage (i don't know a single IT person earning 5k€/month although i'm aware they exist). In France, minimum wage is about 1500€/month (before taxes), to which you add about as much professional taxes and contributions from the employer.

According to my napkin calculus, you could get about 4.5-9 developers (for 1-2x minimum wage) onboard here in France for 28k€/month. I'm betting in other countries with low salaries and a vast talent pool, 28k€/month would get you even more employees.

A lot of US carriers provide the OS updates with branding and junkware rather than the device manufacturer.

Also for others concerned about privacy, your carrier can push applets onto the SIM card itself which can do a lot. Malicious actors in the past have exploited devices via applets such as Simjacker and WIBattack

Yep, K8s has managed DNS, much like Nomad allows you to have.

But if that's a feature that you want, you can even use Docker Swarm which I mentioned in another comment here, which basically gives you the same thing, so that you can reference other containers by their names.

Of course, it's a bit simpler than Nomad, so if you're already using Nomad then there's no point in moving away from it, though this still illustrates that there are plenty of simpler options than K8s!
Nobody should ever feel guilty for other people's crimes, but more importantly - what is a crypto rug compared to the founding of a bank?

This is just not true

Other coins are minable with GPUs (because their algorithm was purposely designed to be ASIC resistant)

But bitcoin has been exclusively ASIC mined since probably 2013 at least

Even with free electricity and stolen GPUs you cannot profitably mine bitcoin (you'd get a fraction of a penny a month, less than the cost of simply storing a gpu)

People have started realizing that when people say "AOSP Android" they actually mean "Google Android" because the discussion is never about how to get rid of google bloat, only how to get rid of manufacturer or telco bloat.

Meanwhile I actually think that the OEMs have driven innovation and usability in the Android smartphone space as much as or more so than Google. Sure, some of the UI was over the top but it was a learning experience for consumers as well as for manufacturers.
Here is another angle to look at this ... if you have the stomach or appetite for risk. Stay there and document as much as possible from whatever angle that you can. Immerse yourself in literature about similar failed projects and scams (there are so many now from podcasts to books). Cover the problem domain from as many angles as you can (not just technology but ethics and who gets conned in society, the social dynamics around pump & dump). Write down and corroborate your findings with facts and pay _especially_ attention to time/dates (and who else knew about it).

What you should do will become visible by itself very soon. It'll be crystal clear what is the right thing to do. Contact a journalist? contact the feds? create an anonymous podcast? or talk to somebody who will air your story? write a book? all of the above?

It can be highly stressful and it might take another 2-3 years to gather all the evidence. But the characters in this game are always very shady, and if they haven't already broken some laws or crossed some ethical boundaries they will do so in the future.
I see your point but you might need Kubernetes before going « Google scale ». Google is probably the biggest scale in the world, that would mean they’re the only one requiring Kubernetes, which they’re not.

A big advantage of Kubernetes is that it can help to harmonize the deployment process of numerous teams in a whole company. As long as your company has multiple teams, including a team dedicated to administrating the Kubernetes cluster(s), then it can be a good choice. Because at this point, the cheapest solution is not necessarily cheap anymore.

That’s NOT a problem in startups, even less in early stage startups though.
Are you sure it’s because of AC and not the amount of concrete pathways compared to green areas, vegetation and shade from trees? Also various thermal properties of the ground?

Even if houses were 50% of the land area, they take up a miniscule amount of air volume. Also, hot air floats up, so there is little chance you could feel the heat from an AC outside.
On the other hand, if the earth is hot because you have few trees, you will feel it everywhere when walking on a sidewalk.

In Europe at least it’s common knowledge that you need to have trees and greenery everywhere to make heat bearable outside. If you replace trees and grass with concrete you get an island of heat that will be unbearable during summer to walk through.

It’s interesting to see the failure modes of these models. If you ask a sensible question you likely get a sensible answer, because it apples logical transformations on the input text, even novel ones.

However if you construct a ludicrous question it will soldier on mindlessly trying to answer it. For example if you ask something like, if the Golden Gate Bridge were to climb the stairs of the Empire State Building, how many flower petals would it need? The chances are the model will give you a number.
Hype: using dynamically typed languages increases development time
I agree with you there is no "contradiction" here. Thought experiments are typically one of two things.

1. A prediction or thesis which then then prompts a theory and then experiments to verify. The EPR paradox is an example, the cannonball is another.

2. The are an argument to convince someone/explain something in a physical discussion. The text given here is an example.

Now one could argue that someone learns something in the second case (and that someone could even be everyone), but technically we already know everything. It's sort of like we already have a (experimentally) verified theory and are just investigating some corner case. Or otherwise we end up at option 1, where we need an actual experiment to probe what the world is really doing.

I’ve always been more attracted to the higher level languages and followed llvm from a compiler interest. So I know the principles, but I would like to understand more. Especially related to cross compilation.

Does someone have a source explaining the state of the art? With all the different compilers, gcc, clang and the different flavours of linkers: ld, lld, mold, gold, ?
The Wikipedia discussion of that example is interesting. I stuck with "raced" as a verb, with the horse passing an upland moor called barn. (Barn, as the name of a fell, probably being a corruption of an old word for bear (the animal).)

The Wikipedia interpretation makes the sentence clumsy and somewhat nonsensical (in real world terms: a horse having been raced beside a barn (farm building)? That is unlikely unless the barn is extremely long as barns go, which is also unlikely).

As someone quite fluent in Rust (and several other languages) I love it in general… but I think it’s not a good option for average teams, especially if you don’t need the last bit of performance.

You could get most benefits of it by using Go in terms of tooling/speed, or something with a great type system if you‘re after the correctness checking compiler.

People use the term "assault rifle" to mean "assault weapon rifles". It is a very widespread usage, including by politicians and the news media. It is also a very logical usage – it is simply shortening the phrase by dropping "weapon", which is kind of duplicative given it includes "rifle". Yes, this contradicts with the older military usage of the term "assault rifle" – but different people use words in different ways, language evolves, and insisting other people are wrong for using words differently from how you do is just ignorant linguistic prescriptivism.
Yes. I was simplifying, in some circumstances stock price drops go down to the bare net asset value. Companies have assets and liabilities, and the shares shouldn’t drop much below the net value of those assets because even if they declare bankruptcy, the shareholders get the proceeds of liquidation after the creditors. You expect a distribution of those funds, and so shares don’t drop to zero unless a company is deep in debt.

When earnings projections are inflated and then drop back to earth, or some economic news means the projections are no longer good, then shares drop to an estimate of that base asset value + the new, lower earnings potential. That’s your typical stock price drop story.

Because Bitcoin is not a company publishing reliable earnings reports etc, everyone is currently guessing at the amount of value attributable to the utility demand value I was referring to, compared to the speculative value. If people tell you they know where the bottom is, they are probably completely bullshitting based on analysis equivalent to drawing lines on the stock chart in MS Paint.

Well, if you're using it for development, it doesn't make sense.. You're probably doing all the microservices, which should mean that those services are the responsibility of another team. It also means they should have a testing / staging / development version online somewhere.

If you're developing MS Paint.. do you really need to have to compile windows and all the dependencies?
> This could be a big opportunity to create a search engine which avoids most of the SEO-spam

As soon as it's worthwhile, there will be RSS spam targeting search engines.

Many companies already have near zero-useful-content blogs because having blobs of text that search engines consider fresh increases their ranking. If RSS-based search becomes a thing, you'll get that kind of content pushed to it.

Or, if that doesn't work because of feed moderation or something, expect getting sponsored entries in your favorite indie blog's feed. Sponsored content is already a thing, but mostly to get "yes-follow" links. Now it will be to get content pushed to RSS search engines.

> I would encourage you to respond to the actual points raised in my post.

ok, here is the first thing that I noticed, reading your blog post/review.

> No undefined values
...
> C allows you to use an uninitialized variable which can result in Undefined Behavior. I’ll assume that’s what this means.
...
> Typically, uninitialized values come from a memory allocation that hasn’t been written to.
...
> Let’s see if we can get the V compiler to allocate memory for us without writing to it:

fn main() {
a := []&int { len: 1 }
println(a)
}

That program segfaulted in the automatically generated string conversion method for the println() call (you created a 1 element array of pointers, and since each of the elements is initialized to 0, you got a 0 pointer, then println tried to show that, but the automatically generated string conversion method did not check for 0 pointers -> the segfault).

TLDR: the autogenerated string conversion method has a bug, that will be fixed soon.

Ironically, the cause is the opposite of what you intended to show - the memory for the new array was initialized to 0.

I would have appreciated a bug report in https://github.com/vlang/v/issues , that could be properly tracked till resolution, but apparently people these days have an entire month to dedicate on writing a "review" with a "Rules of engagement" section, but do not have 5 minutes to submit a github issue ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ ...

btw, if you instead of the above did:

fn main() {
a := []int { len: 1 }
println(a)
}

the program (printing `[0]`) will have worked correctly.

Edit: I've filed this in https://github.com/vlang/v/issues/14786
Certainly. They died off with the major publishers for economic reasons, but people still enjoy that type of game when done well. One of the main economic reasons was the resale market for games at places like gamestop, which didn't exist in the era of Myst/ Seventh Guest. If people could have just played through their CD-ROM game and sold it back to the store, sales would have been curtailed. In those days a CD-ROM (particularly multiple) was so much data that it would be difficult to download on a modem. So you could sell it in a store and sell one copy to everyone who wanted it.

Steam's DRM and the lower costs of developing an indie game in Unity is bringing this style of experience back.

I work in DeFi development as well and I can feel your pain.

Two things that I have to constantly keep in mind:

1. I have worked in stock markets for years before crypto and felt the same: I have been criticized in a similar fashion by laymen who don't necessarily have the proper understanding of what a stock market is and what value does it bring to the society. And yes, people who lost money were of course the most vocal.

2. Someone recently wrote: "99% of DeFi is scam. The rest is the future of finances". I strongly believe that idea, albeit I'd say the ratio is different.

---

One of the important things that is going to legitimize DeFi is deeper connection between DeFi protocols and real world use cases. One such example was for me when I fell on hard times and had to borrow on Aave to provide for the family. I had money available for me at a rate much lower than the bank, momentarily and with none of of the typical impossible soul-crunching KYC/AML bs. I recovered and paid back. I was happy. The lender was happy. Aave was happy. Stakers in Aave were happy. Absolute win-win all around. How is that not the future?

Oh, and don't work for scam projects.
