What I've seen from teams that use operators is that nobody ends up understanding how to manage the situation when something goes awry.

I've run into way too many exotic edge cases with kubernetes to trust an operator to do the right thing with data I care about. Most especially when the operator is also managing the replication and replicas and their underlying storage.

I am pro running datastores and other stateful workloads on kubernetes. I've been running databases on kubernetes since petSets.

Not sure if this loop ever exits.
No, because in that case there are other options. A 3-year old child can be put up for adoption if the parents are unable to provide adequate care for it. At our current medical level of progress, doing the same for a 3-week-old embryo is impossible.

If it were possible to transplant embryos instead of aborting the pregnancy, the moral argument around abortions would look very different.

Edit note: I initially mistyped "put up for adoption" as "put up for abortion". This has since been fixed.
I use a single Dell 2721DE with USB-C to provide display, peripherals and Ethernet for my MacBook M1. From time to time the MacBook has issues reconnecting peripherals from sleep, which I end up resolving by unplugging USB-C, power cycling the monitor and plugging USB-C back in. The weird bit for me is that USB disks on one child hub always work fine, the keyboard and mouse on another child hub are the ones that will not be rediscovered.

AFAIK the problems are entirely due to the MacBook Air M1.

That might be a good-faith argument if we were allowing eons, but we're actually talking about years to (at most) decades.

No, not really. You've regurgitated a number, but only as an appeal to emotion. You haven't connected it to the subject of this thread, which is the idea that even a fully formed human has no right to require physical sacrifice of another. Persuasion means connecting things in a way that might sway an interlocutor, not merely bashing them over the head with claims that you find compelling.
You have more choices if you have more money. Most of the folly with divorce is still completely avoidable for the breadwinner (if the couple has one). I won't describe it, make enough to get your own set of lawyers and ask for the supporting case law before implementing any strategy. There are things that work equally as well in community property states and equitable distribution states. Having your own assets completely paid for before the marriage is a great first step that most of the population cannot do and cannot relate to, so this influences the collective conscious. But there are also things you can do for assets you paid for in your marriage to keep as your own.

Don't apply if you don't have money, and this has nothing to do with a pre-nup which you should also do.

The irony, for those about to have a kneejerk reaction about merely considering the financial realities of marriage instead of solely the love partnership part, is that this kind of pre-planning actually allows you to focus on the love part. You don't have to be skeptical or worried about any partner or anecdotes because you have it all figured out.
There is also the failed attempt of Jodorowsky to make a Dune movie:

The documentary is pretty fascinating. Jodorowsky managed to put together a stellar team, among them H.R. Giger, Dalí and the script writer who would later write Alien.

Ah yes, the crypto-fascism conspiracy theory - or the blackshirt scare.

There's fascists everywhere. They don't call themselves that, they don't organise under that label, and their views aren't particularly similar to historical fascism - but it's a serious threat! It's so powerful that they have to keep it a secret because they'll be cast out of polite society...

At least McCarthy actually found people spying for the USSR.

> and having the developers learn and maintain all of the operations practices just isn’t scaleable or feasible.

I was on the same boat until I've switched to a company where devs were also doing ops. With AWS, GitLab CI and Terraform, this works surprisingly well.

There are still ops persons for the hard parts, but most things can be done by the devs themselves.

which, of course, is the elephant in the room, isn't it.

Good faith contributors don't need the code, because it was not written for them. It was written for the pathological cases.

Ask HN: What is the best structure for software development teams?
As a growing early stage startup, we are gradually reaching the size where splitting up into multiple teams will become necessary.

That has presented itself with a wide range of questions:

- how many members per team and which roles?

- what should each team focus on?

- should all teams have an engineering manager?

- is there a transitory “best structure”?

Would be great to get inputs on what you have seen work well - both at scale but also in early stage startups.
Agreed. Most of the people that make the decisions and execute them are people who have no idea of the impacts of their moves.

In so many situations now, platform code is written with a certain intent in mind, but then administered later by replacement employees who have no indication of the end result of what controls do...

These sites often assume that one user persona can accommodate a user base full of multiple different personas and motivations, and they brutally punish anyone that goes outside of the personas they create as templates because their user bases are far too massive to care about individual user issues. It's now easier (and better for their bottom line) to just ban people than to properly address customer support.

A DevOps position is partially sales role. Telling devs that their well-known and understood scp workflow is bad and instead the should use this tool they don't know to look at logs and this completely different tool to deploy the app is bound to fail. If you want to change the way developers work, you need to show them why the new way is better and make the switch as painless as possible. And if you can't do this, you should think hard about why you want them to make that change.
I test on dev/stg and multiply the time by four.
Then why did it take two years? Supplies were low and savings rates were high in 2020, too. Yet inflation didn't start growing until well after the omicron wave had subsided. Why? Nothing happened economically in January of 2022 that should have triggered anything notable economically. There was no new relief package. No change in supply chains (though the Shanghai shutdown was about to happen). Yet... inflation started to spike then.

It's not hard to guess at an answer: the covid recovery led to a loosening of purse strings that were kept tight during lockdowns out of general social anxiety. Makes enough sense to me. But it's still a special-case answer to a special case thing. First principles economics, in fact, would have done extremely badly.
And Neuromancer! although the movie is 1982 and the book is 1984 - I put these two together as the founding fathers of cyberpunk entertainment, albeit the FATHER of Cyberpunk is PK Dick...

The thing is, that at 47, MANY MANY MANY of my contemporaries and peer grew up in the 80s with these concepts for which they said "wouldn't it be cool if...." <--- and then we went about building all this shit.

I meant "almost all the time except when they're asleep". Fortunately newborns sleep a lot but they also feed every 4 hours (if you're lucky) so whatever sleep you're getting isn't "quality sleep" because of interruptions.

No, I am not talking about gathering information about strangers for your own personal use. I am talking about sharing personal information about yourself that involves another person.

Here is an example that is not hypothetical. I know someone who was sexually assaulted by someone they knew. They went to the police, and charges were brought. However, there was not enough evidence to convict, and the perpetrator was not convicted.

The victim decided to write their story and publish it on their blog. They don’t want to sweep their assault under the rug, and they want other people to know what the perpetrator did to them. They want to protect other people who might not realize what the perpetrator is capable of, and warn them to beware. They also are trying to deal with the fact that they couldn’t get a conviction, and want to know that at least some good can from their experience in protecting possible future victims.

So do they have the right to publish this story? Do they have the right to tell friend and family and anyone who might be listening, “don’t trust this guy! He assaulted me and got away with it!”

I believe it is everyone’s fundamental right to share their experience, even if that includes someone else in them. Of course, this doesn’t mean you can slander anyone you want, but in this case they are telling the truth. Now, that truth wasn’t enough to convict, but it is enough to not be subject to defamation charges.

So should that person be prevented from naming names in their blog? Are they allowed to tell people who go on a date with the perpetrator, “hey, here is what happened to me, be careful.” Or is the perpetrator allowed to just sweep it under the rug and keep the victim silent?
There are three things that are important to the movie.

- Pacing so you don't get bored.
- Thematic depth
- Atmosphere

A lot of pretentious people like to ignore pacing as if their brains are made up of pure IQ and anything related excitement is beneath them. Make no mistake, we are all human and we all get bored. Pacing is important and it takes a lot of effort (and intelligence) for a director to maintain that level of momentum for a movie.

Let's face it, Blade runner really screwed up with pacing. Ultra slow pacing is understandably sort of required for the atmosphere but while it scores very very very highly in the other areas; there is absolute truth to the statement when someone says that movie is in general quite slow and boring. If your brain is too big to comprehend why Blade runner even has the possibility of being boring then I'm likely too stupid to be communicating with you, you should go read other comments of higher intelligence.

The MCU scores highly in pacing and probably is the greatest paced franchise of all time, with 10 years of momentum and a payoff unlike anything ever seen before in cinema. But because of pretension, in general a certain crowd looks at the entire franchise with disdain; even though it's actually much harder and challenging to create good pacing then many of the more serious thematically deep movies I've seen out there.

Inception would be movie that on average has the best high balance on all three pillars. Good pacing, thematically deep, well established professional/corporate atmosphere. Though I would say in terms of theme and atmosphere, while quite high, it's not quite high enough to get past certain pretentious attitudes. I would even argue that sometimes if the pacing is too good, the movie becomes too popular and thus "not good" to the elite crowd.

At the same time, sometimes if the pacing is too good, the themes and atmosphere get copied by dozens of other movies. The audience sees too much of it and becomes more sophisticated. Now the stuff that use to be high concept to the general audience becomes quite boring. Directors and movies producers are always playing catch up to increase sophistication and bring you stuff you've never seen before.

@duxup, I think this is what's happening to you. Bladerunner is so boring that it wasn't copied too much. But the other sci-fi stuff get copied to hell and now the cookie cutter sameness doesn't do it for you anymore. So you turn to the thing that's most different.
I recall having heard it in a somewhat recent solo video address of his, although I don't have the exact timestamp ready to hand.
My comment was around mechanical transformations of ideas to make them more generic and then patenting that generic "discovery". It had nothing to do with the specifics of cable robots.
I find it curious that the other two top-brand public clouds do not undercut AWS significantly in areas like network bandwidth charges, when other operators can offer similar service it vastly reduced cost. This does look like a market failure, and I don't know why we are in this situation. Maybe the top brands are just very, very strong?
That is utter BS. DevOps means Ops and Devs working hand in hand in a crossfunctional team. Nothing more, nothing less. The main idea was to tear down silos.
The best sites are probably 400 feet under water.
> but I'd rather they were writing code instead of mucking around looking for some magic AWS solution to solve some specific use case.

Really? To my mind, code is a last resort from a business perspective: I’d much rather developers use AWS features when available.
At this point in my life, I would never, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever buy a cheap table saw.

Table saws are where fingers come off, where work pieces get chucked at you, and where blades sometimes explode. It's probably the second-most dangerous tool in any shop.

A good circular saw and guide can do much the same thing as a cheap table saw, safely. Nice table saws can do some precision work a circular saw can't match (such as various kinds of notches), but not a $40 HF mini table saw. But 90% of what a table saw does, a circular saw properly used will do just as well, only with a bit more work setting up guides.

Other tools can handle those rare precision notches a circular saw won't do.

Things to be aware of:

- You can adjust height and angle on a circular saw. It's more finicky than a table saw, and you might need a protractor, but once you set it, it's good.

- You want a long guide you can clip to the piece.

- You want something like a Kreg which attaches to the table saw and guides it for e.g. cross-cuts of the same length.

If you do want a cheap saw on a table, I'd consider any other kind (e.g. a scroll saw).
2001 is a very different type of film though. Blade runner is a film I could get my marvel-loving friends to watch, they would not watch 25 of chimp on chimp action

Isn't that the express purpose of the scene?
It's a different model of consumption.

Voting systems are based inherently on popularity.

Whether that's direct or whether it's a FoaF operation, such as "those who like x also enjoy y" - it's still a popularity system.

All popularity systems centralize and are extremely hostile to divergences and counterintuitive things.

It'd be like if you asked the bedeviling Monty Hall problem, took a survey of the most common answer and only presented that one while the correct one gets hidden and downvoted. The centralizing feedback loop is because you're now reinforcing the most common wrong answer as the right one and thus the noise becomes the signal.

The failure of these systems is it pushes up those who know how to be popular and not expertise. It regurgitates commonality.

There's other ways. You can for instance, take a movie you like, see what studio made it, the director, the whatever - sound engineer, then browse out from there. It's a version of the Monty Hall problem where you go "let's only look at what most mathematicians say".

My favorite analogy for this is if you went to a beginner's karate/yoga/physical therapy class on the first day and took a survey of a proper punch/movement and considered the instructor's opinion as an equal vote with the 20 other first day people and went with whatever the plurality was. Or you went to the doctor's office and along with the doctor, surveyed the patients in the waiting room what their opinion of your ailment was. Or a foreign language class and had the students guess a translation and assign the fluent instructor's answer equal weight.

No really, that's how we've structured most content curation on the internet. Exactly like that.

Naive equal democracy and systems weighted in popularity are fine for general purposes but completely fail for the narrowband where specialized expertise is desired because it occludes expert knowledge systems and networks and swaps it out for popularity systems and tribes.

I get some people use the term that way, but in our case, our guy really did spend ~50-60% of his time developing IaC and other deployment scripts/tools (in various languages), and the rest handling the operational side of things. He occasionally touched the application code as needed (renaming configuration variables etc.), but he didn't do feature-level development, nor was he interested in doing so.

Nobody is grazing cattle in the Sahara. They did graze it next to their which is one of the reasons it’s expanded so far. That said, farmers are actually reclaiming land at the borders from the desert which isn’t possible with herding, in other words much of this land is only viable for farming.

Your 50% benchmark in terms of land is really not a function of each individual acre of land on it’s own.

The southwest as a whole needs vastly more irrigation than is available, but which specific bit of land becomes farmland and which but is used to graze cattle is very arbitrary. The parts that do grow crops generally have more to do with water rights and which bits are federal land than the actual land it’s self.

Conversely a lot of US farmland is more sustainable for grazing, but the giant aquifer is a temporary solution.
Manners, being courteous, polite and as you've said empathetic - these good behaviours all existed. That took parents to teach and individuals to act accordingly.

As of right now I honestly think eBay is better than amazon in many ways. Obviously getting anything used or rare is significantly easier but many other things are much cheaper [0]. I also like that I can actually see who I'm buying from. On amazon Its difficult to tell if its amazon selling something or a private seller.

Ebay also has good return policies. They almost always side with the buyer which makes it hard to create fake listings.
