I am a k8s user myself and I believe it is one of the most innovative projects out there. My intent here is to reach out to the wider community to share my fears/pain points and see if:

- Is there a knowledge gap that I'm having and I can work on myself to be better?
- Are there any practices, techniques, tricks, SOPs, solutions, mechanisms that wider community has developed or still under evolution that I can put at use.

I know k8s has issues but knowing those issues up close (including why they are) can make one a better operator of the machinery at hand.

So mainly, I'm seeking advice, opinions, views that come from people's experiences and aren't necessarily in official docs or books/courses/workshops/seminars etc.
Seems interesting to build something looking for things like zip file bombs, unexpected sparseness, overflow/underflow, and so on with C.

So far, I have only seen AI-generated faces used in LinkedIn spam. The novel faces make it impossible to reverse-search them, meaning they seem more real.

There are unlimited harmful uses of the technology similar to that one: spam, scams, and propaganda.

So what is the beneficial use? What is something positive that this technology would enable?
If it’s Outlook doing the dirty work then running your own mail server won’t get rid of this problem. Outlook is the client reading the links regardless of mail server.

Also, somewhat a different topic, people that run their own mail servers might also still use Outlook.
Yup this is true - I was just being lazy. But what surprised me was that Bing actually indexed them. (even though my robots.txt said not to)

> When discussing privacy, I find it useful to distinguish three types: a) privacy from government, which is fondamentally not a technical problem but a political one

I think that this is not quite true. At its best, privacy from the government is granted willingly by the government; this is a political process. However, one might be dealing with a government that explicitly revokes certain privacies, or one might not trust a government's guarantee to respect certain privacies, in which case the political problem is once again technological. (Or of course one could trust one's government implicitly but not the next government, or one could trust one's government to try to do things well but fear government stores of data as a juicy target for hackers.)
I watched it as a child and I wanted to kill bugs too. Then I watched it again as an adult and realized “holy shit, I would have been a fascist. Like all people, I too have that capacity.”

It was a seriously enlightening moment. A satire subtle enough that I could see both sides of it at different periods of my life.
Exactly what I was thinking - what really worries me is it also seems to have happened to a lot of @gmail users too. I still can't figure out how Bing managed to find email tokens sent to gmail. Maybe users who connected their gmail account to Outlook...?
VaultBoot: Remote Attestation
I think you're being trolled. I admit that I can't be fully sure of it, but I seriously doubt GP believes that Biden has the most popular administration in history; I don't believe Biden has the most popular administration among just the last three, a sentiment that I suspect GP shares.
Most of the people signing that are building systems that they know will be used to manipulate people into, for example, buying stuff that they don't need. Systems that they know will be used to make half-assed decisions about people's lives (even if they're planning to sit around sanctimonously whining about it).

... but trolling 4Chan, that's a bridge too far. Everybody knows that 4Chan users are there to escape from trolling.
My biggest problem with using my MacBook Pro 2021 with an external monitor is that fan always goes to max speed and is very noisy. This stresses me and I’ve stopped using external monitors. The problem occurs even if I connect to a smaller external monitor.

He's since done 6 sequels (4 x MI, 1 x Jack Reacher, 1 x Top Gun), and about 10 non-sequels (War of the Worlds, Lions for Lambs, Valkyrie, Knight and Day, Jack Reacher, Oblivion, Edge of Tomorrow, The Mummy, American Made).

> I mean, the same media that was apparently run by a vast left-wing conspiracy for years is suddenly right-wing? Did they just change hats?

No, this was just a lie though, the media has always been right wing, they lie and say they are not, but they are.

> What accomplishment does Biden have

He ended COVID, he pulled out of Afghanistan, he restored US reputation on the global stage, he put Russia in it's place, he was busy ending fossil fuels. I dunno there are many things, you just don't hear of them because the media is trying to tank his presidency.
why not shut down everything you don't personally approve of?
Respectfully: If one side expands scotus for political gain, I guarantee that the other side immediately does the same the moment they get the house and senate. The only way for that not to happen is to guarantee that they never lose the house/senate again. That, my friend, is a dangerous thought and one that may lead to civil conflict. Let's hope the statement you made is not followed - else hell may soon follow that.
Microsoft does this because they're security scanning / checking all links in every Outlook email for known phishing and malware attacks. If Bing has not seen the web page before and it's not in the Bing dangerous web page index it first needs to check it to make a determination of if it's a phishing/malware page by scanning/indexing it before returning that outcome back to Outlook to flag the email as dangerous.
> Down to earth is the key I think. So many action films these days are "save the world" or some sort of incredibly over the top world-changing maguffin.

Ran across this observation with regards to Die Hard: the first two movies had McClain as basically a beat cop who gets in over his head. The latter movies he's almost a superhero.
Essentially yes - but "previewing" link and sending that link to Bingbot to crawl and index is another matter.

Imagine you send someone a "private" link to a file...Bing sees that and indexes it for the world to see. Not cool.
> This makes me want to quit University RIGHT NOW...

I remember that feeling. If I could give advice to my younger self, it'd be: fast track uni as fast as possible. Bachelor + master takes 5 years? Do your best to do it in 3. Try to keep some room for social stuff. Yep, it's going to be a busy 3 years, but when else do you get to try to bring out your A-game? It won't happen during work as an employee, since you won't be rewarded for it. For uni, the payoff is clear: you go faster through the bitter pill that you don't want to swallow, and by going faster it's actually more interesting and therefore less bitter.
Six weeks into the outbreak and my local health authorities are out of vaccine doses with no timeline for when they’ll have more.

>His point was they are/were using chemicals regardless of if they understood the chemistry at a low level or not.

Even if that was his point, it is still completely wrong.

>It is impossible to produce food without chemicals.

If you live in the northern hemisphere, it is only June. Go plant a handful of pumpkin and watermelon seeds in a patch of fertile earth. Add no "chemicals" of any kind - man made or otherwise. Return in 4 months and you will very likely see food that has been grown with absolutely no chemicals at all.

It was blocked by robots.txt but Bing chose to ignore it.
I even tried "blocking" the URLs in Bing webmaster tools today and this was the response:

"Block request denied
We found that the URL submitted for block is important for Bing users and hence cannot be blocked through Bing Webmaster Tools.

We recommend that the best way to block URLs in this scenario is to add NOINDEX meta-tag to the HTML header of the page."

IIRC, Hindenburg was supposed to have a thin outer helium layer surrounding the hydrogen providing the bulk lift, as a safety measure to inertize it, in case of leaks. But due to a wartime shortage of helium, the outer layer was filled with hydrogen as well, compromising safety. The original design was sound, but corner cutting caused the disaster.
I blame comic book movies and a generation raised on them.

Comic book movies are also "ur fascism." They feature utterly paper thin heroes who are just good and paper thin villains that are either just bad or have caricatured motives. Thanos with his genocidal malthusianism is about as high-brow as this stuff gets.

I don't think it's a coincidence that the generation raised on these has been softened up for puerile political zealotry (of various stripes) in adulthood.

Go back and watch an action flick like Die Hard. Such movies were considered lowbrow when they were made but that film contains some extremely complex characterization and nuance compared to 90% of comic book films.
Yes, and usually, it means you need to use the full binary path unfortunately (because debian wrappers embedded in the package select the version from your 5432 cluster).
It seems reasonable to me based on how memory is used in WebAssembly, and the constraints it runs under. The address space of a WASM module is limited to just that module. A null pointer in one module will never be the same as one in another module, so it's already unlike native code.

Mandating that address 0 cannot be used places more constraints on what the browser engine can do when it compiles the module, and for some languages compiled to WASM this feature may not even be necessary.

EDIT: As for your own edit, since you cannot do arithmetic on a pointer in Java, this does make it easier. NULL could be set to -1, which unless that module is using 4 gigabytes of memory will cause an out-of-bounds exception.
My main issue with low carb is that humans have been eating carbs for thousands of years. The obesity epidemic is only decades old. I've seen enough evidence that low carb is working for people, so it would seem like something in the carbs we eat in particular is causing the problem... not carbs in general. We should significantly increase the science in this area in my opinion.
Greg Egan's "Permutation City" kind of fits those requirements.
Brandon Sanderson has a nice video on advice on how he writes characters that are smarter than him: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YyaC7NmPsc0 (~5 minutes).

tl;dw: There's different axes of intelligence, and you can setup the situation perfectly to fake the character's intelligence. You can also fake wisdom/intelligence by taking as much time as you need to come up with the smartest/best response to a situation.

Doesn't apply exactly here (He has written Gods, but they are still "mostly" human except for knowing a lot more about their world), but it's good advice.

Actually my primary use is CLIs, integrations, and such. It used to be a great systems language (1.6-1.8, 2.x). But now I can’t rely on an OS having a reasonable version, or of libraries, so there’s the distribution problem.

It’s really only good for apps or things I (or other Python people) are going to run.

Part of it is that I don’t do analytics work. Now that PERL is niche, my use cases are no longer the target.

Honestly I don't get the hate k8s get.

I run my own clusters and it just works.

Sure I have to ignore a lot of crap in the setup phase, there are so many products out there I don't want to pay for. The nightmare may come from some devop installing a bunch of helm charts without configuring things properly.

Scaling down to a minimal cluster is a real concern: I would like to run k8s for some micro project that literally run on 5$ vps but it's too heavy for that.
> I wonder if Uber could be a monolith running on one machine given the right architecture and implementation.

You seem to simplify Uber's tasks to only ridesharing. But there are many other typical tasks for large tech orgs. For example (never worked at Uber, taking from my imagination):

1. Handle ride-sharing business (the easiest part maybe).

2. Make a pipeline to extract data for legal requests from courts, processing all Uber's historical logs.

3. CEO asked to make a forecast (like chart), using billing data from their financial processor.

4. Serve video and quizes and check tests during driver's onboarding process.

5. Monitor/alert internal network for network security purposes.

6. Gather some analytics over Uber's cloud resources spent and give recommendations on where to optimize.

Not sure how to pack those all into a monolith.

Yes. It's interesting to see so many replies in this thread completely missing the aspects you describe and only focusing on the practical usage of the watch.

I'll also add that bubble-era Japan was full of novelty electronics like this. Companies were investing heavily in R&D, and even if sales weren't great, these kinds of items boosted prestige and reputations for being cutting edge.

That's a pretty strange way of say "an entirely different movie".

It's possible to do this in Safari and Firefox as well, it's just that the experience isn't as seamless - instead of writing to the existing file a new copy will be downloaded.

My perspective:

No, take things now if you can. And I can, with a very small amount of creativity involved. I realized recently I don't need to be rich/financially independent at all.

I work 4 days per week, I'm living the dream as I've realized that I want to work for 3 days per week. I want to crack my brain on something for 3 days per week that I'm not necessarily passionate about, but that feels as "good brain exercise" (aka programming).

So I only have to put up with 1 day per week, but I also want a bit of that I need to "put up with something", so 4 days per week is my jam, apparently. Programming allows me to stay mentally sharp, so it's a health thing as well.

My free day is on a Wednesday, so my rhythm literally is along the lines of:

work, work, rest, work, work, rest, bonus rest*

* Aka go nuts/crazy since I'm already rested.

You can have your cake and eat it too. Provided if you're Dutch, because a 4 day work week is easy to fix there.

4 days means you make about 85 to 90% of your 5 day net salary anyway, so you're not losing too much cash. It's easily doable if you spent 70% of your income anyway, which is what I was doing (and that is me being wasteful).

> AFAIK most email providers (like Gmail) will also visit links.

I keep hearing this, but our newsletter system has been using GET unsubscribe links since at least 2007 (but probably longer), and we never found a wave of Gmail users unsubscribing, we still have a lot of them. I wonder if this is simply an urban legend, if Gmail tries to recognize unsubscribe links, or if there is something else going on.
When I was, I guess, grade 5 a kid showed up at school with a "TV watch". It didn't require extra connections, it tuned in OTA broadcast TV (basically CBC, at the time). This would have been in the early 80s.

I have no idea where he go the watch or how. They were a lower income family and lived in very modest circumstances but he always had the latest and greatest, brought it to school, caused a huge commotion, and would have the device taken away (think personal sized PacMan consoles, sling shots, those robot toys, etc).

It did work. The way it was used was a ton of kids would crowd around this guy and watch a grainy, poorly rendered, CBC program with faint sound (I recall a headphone jack), and we marveled at how cool it was that he could watch TV at school. Unfortunately, nothing interesting would ever be on, and the teacher took it away immeadiately.

Here’s a brief explanation from a member of Cornell faculty: http://www.madsci.org/posts/archives/2004-10/1096814276.Zo.r...
As soon as I heard about this formulation back in 2012 or so I concluded that this particular structure was going to be foundational in Haskell and potentially the broader (purely) functional programming world. I agree with your intuition here with respect to that statement, but this case is an exception to that heuristic. I would say that these lenses are the purely functional equivalent to pointers in C. These lenses are type-safe functional pointers that are composable! This lens formulation is much more powerful than the naive lens formulations that came before it and it admits a number of just as powerful related abstractions such as prisms, traversals, etc.

Historically I have been pretty skeptical about adopting flavor-of-the-week flashy abstractions in the Haskell ecosystem for use in production code, usually preferring to lean on ADTs and pure functions for their simplicity and power. But lenses are essential. They are the fundamental building blocks for accessing and modifying ADTs. You don't have to understand the complicated type wizardry to use them. They're particularly useful for drilling deep into arbitrary JSON structures. See a reddit comment of mine for some examples: https://old.reddit.com/r/haskell/comments/792nl4/clojure_vs_...

For more on this, see this excellent video "The Unreasonable Effectiveness of Lenses for Business Applications": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T88TDS7L5DY&t=1204s

Responsibility to the responsible.

There's no difference between idiots in churches and idiots on 4chan - both are idiots, both eat up whatever bullcrap is served to them, and both are harmful to society. And neither means that churches or 4chan are bad in themselves.

We must be careful before starting to excuse idiots for their idiotic behavior based on "bad influence". Society is a complex mechanism, and censorship inevitably brings unforseen consequences. Human mind is also complex, and anti-social behavior can sometimes be traced back to early-childhood traumas. Does that mean we should ban free parenting and raise infants in government-approved facilities?
They weren't betting much: they didn't go far to promote it, or make things compatible with it.

I did once see a physical box copy of M$ Xenix, the place I worked at had got one in for a customer, some government thing required it. We didn't install it, they were buying a DOS system from us, but for some reason a copy of Xenix was on the invoice too and it was a big deal and overnight delivery from WA to get it.

That sounds good in theory, but it really doesn't work out in practice. If you want a like-for-like comparison, you end up with similar weights.

The Olympus OM-D E-M1X comes in at 850g for the body alone, which puts it squarely between the Canon R3 (~1kg) and the Sony a1 (~750g). Once you adjust for the equivalent light-gathering ability of the whole kit , the Panasonic Leica 200mm f/2.8 is 1245g, versus the Canon 400mm f/5.6's 1250g.
yes but for login tokens the bing bot would be able to login none the less. Probably the login url would be in some logs at microsoft or antivirus vendor. It sounds paranoid but basically the url is a cleartext password laying around.
Yeah. It's easy to write, easy to read. It takes zero effort to parse. Serializing as "python file" might be a bit awkward.
It's laid out quiet clearly in the article:

"She was unhappy with her barrister and was told he would not be able to continue representing her after she expressed her dissatisfaction.

However, due to industrial action, no other barrister can accept the case. With no replacement found, Judge Peter Rook QC has told Anderson, 40, that she must represent herself."

They're on strike. They will still represent clients but they will not pick up clients of another barrister, presumably because the original barrister will get no or less pay if that happens.
If people (companies) just use that money to buy financial products, pay off other debt, and so on, and it just kinda circulates in the banks, but most of it doesn't end up in consumer's hands - then there is no reason that the prices for consumer goods should go up, right?

I'm not sure demand driven inflation (= money supply driven) is a relevant problem at the moment. On the contrary I sometimes suspect it is a bogeyman used to justify not raising wages.
