My experience with bare metal is multi-fold:

* Documentation sees it as a second-class citizen, if that (loadbalancers, volumes are heavily biased towards cloud providers)

* Many cloud-provided instances of kubernetes will always use the exact same VMs backing the nodes. So they really don't have to care all that much about what config your bare metal cluster has or needs.

RancherOS/K3S can be really quite nice for getting bare-metal clusters up & going really fast. They don't always feel the most complete though, mostly lacking around failure documentation. Even RancherOS has a bias towards cloud clusters, but it's quite easy at least to get a simple k3s cluster going. I'd personally recommend going that way. RancherOS if you're managing multiple clusters, plain k3s if you're doing just one. It'll even come with a pretty decent LoadBalancer & volumes. If you need better management of volumes, Longhorn or minio isn't bad.

microk8s/KinD are for dev-env only, and I wouldn't recommend it for any bare metal cluster. 'Fun' to screw around with though.

Edit: I had a lot of really obnoxious DNS problems, mostly due to docker daemon & how the system config would interact with k8s/k3s. Super annoying when you can get everything working in docker containers manually, but not working in k8s. Once you get your bare metal system configured to work, it'll be fine. It's also very confusing how many different network options there are, and their claims are dubious at best.

To expand on the network subsystems: canal/calico/flannel/ipvs based vs iptables based, etc. We did a bunch of low-latency (sub ms) perf testing for ipvs vs iptables. Docs say ipvs should be both faster (throughput) and lower latency. Tested evidence did not show that to be the case for both small #s of pods & large numbers of pods. This was for a small cluster, so that could be impacting the results.

Never mind that it's a rather huge PITA to switch between them all. Rancher/K3S makes it a bit easier, but still annoying.
At work they enabled safelinks whilst all the mandatory training stated best practice was to check the links before clicking.

Its a shame those links can't have an alttext to show the real link.
Important to note here is that the diet guidelines are largely used to underscore the USDA's funding for production guidelines.

Carb-heavy diets are tied to grain-heavy cultivation.

You might be able to think of a company or two that might be significantly interested in slowing that turn for as long as possible.

Initially there was a DoD influenced posture for ensuring that the country's diet and fields were appropriately aligned. I haven't been able to find any recent documentation of those conversations, but they're understandably difficult to track.

The guidelines here aren't a micro-service, and they're too tightly coupled to all the other fingers in the pot.
Plenty of projects are run by assholes. Finding one that is successful and attributing that success to abrasive communication style is confirmation bias.

Even Linus has said his past behavior has been a problem.
He just posts what gets him views. Most of his criticism is way blown out of proportion. I think you're looking too much in it. When someone has an opinion, it doesn't mean he is left or alt right..
Slite is a SaaS company providing tooling for remote work and is a fully remote company itself, all of that since well before the pandemic. So I think calling the article a "hit piece against remote" is unwarranted in this case.

Has anyone reading ever seen a movie remake that was better than the original?
This is what I was mentioning in the PyScript thread: CPython gets faster with every release, and WASM gets more efficient with every release; sooner or later the sum of these efforts will deliver a solution that is fast enough even in the browser, without us having to faff with the underlying JS at all.
Since the ways in which software development sucks are not that far up the scale of sucking and supporting Kubernetes is charitable contributions to Google, maybe start elsewhere by donating toward alleviating mortal problems like hunger and disease?

The question is are you investing in yourself (no matter how round about) or alleviating true misery?

Good luck.
The difference is it in the office you can just actively see that somebody is anxious and you can ask them what’s up.
You're conflating 1A with free speech. Free speech is the principle that inspires 1A but it's a larger concept and the same reasoning applies to things like reddit. This whole "don't let you political opponents speak or coordinate because you happen to have the power to stop them" is the weapon of a tyrant, one of these days a real tyrant will seize the reins of these platforms and show us all how they're really used.
I think you are confusing China with Korea and Taiwan here.

Mainland China didn’t produce anything before the mid-1980 (when VW opened a factory in Shanghai) and started to export “cheap junk” only around the mid-1990s (after sanctions due to the Tiananmen Massacre).
They analyzed the stock performance of the companies with a presence in Russia from Feb 23 to Apr 19 and got this:

> Clearly, global capital flows across financial markets demonstrate the importance investors attribute to the decision to withdraw from Russia. Capital allocators clearly and unequivocally believe the risks associated with remaining in Russia at a time when nearly 1,000 major global corporations have exited far outweigh the costs of exiting Russia.

But IMO it is interesting how it will work out in the middle- or long- term, when the actual losses of withdrawal will become clear. This research only shows short-term results
A also bothers me. It isn't hard for an instance admin to change the character limit, and does seem like a way instances could stand out from each other, yet it's rarely done. Federated instances do seem to handle long posts gracefully (there's a "read more" expando link).

B seems inherent to social media as we know it. What would be a better design for you?

C is handled in part by relay servers synchronizing content between instances. Small instances often aren't well-connected though and I think both instance admins and relay operators could do better here.
It's a lot easier for me to observe a junior struggling, spinning their wheels, and give corrective feedback in the office. I don't know the remote equivalent of glancing at their screen and body language while I get up for a bathroom break.
Well, the night has just reached that imperceptible pivot where 2 am turns into 4 am (© Jay McInerney, Bright Lights Big City), you enter that downtown in-place and in effortless elegancy you navigate to the bar like Brian Ferry. Some say, you look like Mikey Rourke, while you haven't quite the looks (however, in a favorable light the mirror never lies, especially, when the hair style is just perfect). Casually you place your hands on the bar top, by this revealing your wrist – it's a Seiko TV watch! Clearly, you're not one of those indulging Patek Phillipe types, who just happen to retract their arms with a sour expression on their face. ;-)

Social constructs or Memes can manifest real behavior changes.

I wouldn’t be surprised if social constructs had impacts on rates of spread in this context.
Protecting the ocean requires better progress metrics
It takes more than competent managers and a traditional mentoring culture. Everybody has to be as receptive to new employees in remote as they are to new employees on site. That is remarkably difficult to do when, at best, you see the new employees during meetings. When people do make a point of reaching out to remote employees, it also tends to be more artificial than organic.

Good luck. This will take the ban on unlicensed general-purpose computation - which incidentally, has more and more pieces dropping into place thanks to the wonders of DRM.
That's penny wise, pound foolish thinking. A good keyboard and mouse and monitor for your developers (who directly earn you revenue) is not going to break the bank. But the lack of them will reduce productivity and morale, possibly even causing (on the margin) some talented people to leave. RSI and posture problems are no joke!

In other industries you need immense capital investment in equipment for workers to be productive; no serious software company should care about the comparative pittance that office hardware costs.
To be fair, outside counsel spend adds up quick—a couple million isn’t really indicative of much, and is probably comparable to what unions are spending on these campaigns.
k8s is just Linux, if you forget the Linux there is no hope.
...depending on the type of "senior" role, absolutely

when I interview for senior positions, I'm instantly turned off when I start getting trivia questions related to things that are clearly documented (like "which config file option does X") whereas situational or scenario-based questions are highly relevant and useful

As I wrote over a decade ago in how I do interviews[0],

>What I try to NEVER ask:

> “trivia” questions – I bet there are C questions even K&R couldn’t answer
> - I guarantee I can ask you a question about your area of expertise you cannot answer…just like I guarantee you could do the same to me
> - since that is the case, trivia questions are pretty pointless, and more of an ego stroke to the asker than anything else
> pointless “MindTrap“, lateral-thinking questions
- riddles are fun – but only add to the stress of the interview (like “why are manhole covers round”)
> pointless problem-solving and estimation problems
> - for example, “how would you move Mt Fuji”, or “how many gallons of water flow into New York Harbor from the Hudson River per hour”
> - estimation problems are wonderful tools and games to play, but not in an interview

The best questions are practical application questions based on scenarios (real or plausibly-imagined) that discover what assumptions you make, what help you want/need, etc

I don't think they're talking about a physical 'product'. They're talking about building character, making themself a better person, learning a skill etc
Perhaps, but I didn't want to claim anything without proof.

If you have any proof, please post here, so I may use it in future arguments.
What's incoherent about it? The director of the film dismisses the genre. The writer of the article disagrees.
How to Financially Prepare for an Economic Slowdown
How hard would you say it is to get one's foot in the door as a newcomer?

My experience servicing US clients from Europe has been great so far. Most clients are easygoing and communicate really well. Also, it seems to me that most care more about what you can do for them as opposed to random credentials and whatnot. In parts of Europe, and especially in Germany, there's still this obsession with having the right degree, and people would proudly feature all their degrees in their email signature :D

Anyways, I'm close to OP's age and will be coming to NYC later this year to open an app dev shop. I'm working on getting a few contracts going before I land but I suppose it should get easier when I can start pounding the pavement, right?
What do "neuro-divergent kids" mean?
They are going on strike, demanding that the government salary be higher. If they continued to represent clients, they would be breaking the strike, so their "negotiations" would fail.

I agree, it is completely reprehensible.
I generally like Tom Cruise movies, they're good more often than not. Edge Of Tomorrow was one of his best.

I've even shown it to my 9 years old kid, he was flabbergasted. Might have not understood everything (he doesn't have the context) but overall he said it was the best movie he ever saw (so far).
Actual bare metal, where you own the physical hardware and pay for the physical network connections is actually pretty painless. I see many people trying to use hosted compute to try and set up a bare metal cluster. This is a recipe for heisenbugs.
Until last week I was basically a user until I had an issue and read the real implementation of all the difference methods.

Now everything became after so many years developing on the web so much clearer.
The thing is that during the last two years, governments have systematically shut down the actual productive parts of the economy that make stuff to fight Covid and tried to fill in the gap produced by printing and handing out money instead. This does not work.
2005: you had 4 people that understand what everything did

2022: you have a team of monkeys clicking buttons

Joking aside, it seems like the developers these days don't have the understanding that they did a while back. Not being involved with the nitty-gritty causes them to just write code willy-nilly.
> Don't get me wrong, I still like it but I wouldn't want to run it with little expertise at hand. It's not something I would trust someone to run without production experience, which is difficult because there are very few people out there who are battle hardened past trivial home deployments and tiny little stacks.

That‘s the problem. Everyone used something like minicube to bring a kubernetes cluster online and believes it is simple. But when anything does not work correctly the only approach is to kill the complete machine and start a new cluster on a server. Have fun with statefull data which needs to be copied…
the amount of times i see critical business users getting slowed down because their laptop is a piece of crap astounds me. The value of the laptop is negligible amortized over it's lifespan so give people good stuff to work with.
It’s certainly been a very long time since I was a junior, but I don’t think I would have succeeded at WFH as one.

I learned so much from the people in the cubes around me just via osmosis. Working from home the last couple years I have barely spoken to anyone without a reason to. Random chitchatting with people outside your bubble is how real growth happens, especially early on.
Absolutely. And giving managerial duties to your best developers is a double-edged sword that needs to be wielded carefully.
> Vanilla K8s YAML is extremely low-level.

I find trying to untangle something deployed with Kubespray/Helm/anything automatized far more headache inducing than flat YAML files.
Even if the device would be much less precise than claimed in the paper, it would still be good enough to save the lives of many people.

One can always measure the blood pressure with a classic instrument every few days and recalibrate the tattoo resistance measurement.

What is important is to be able to measure the blood pressure continuously and trigger an alarm whenever it becomes too high or too low.

My mother died a few years ago, precisely because I did not have such a device for continuous blood pressure monitoring. Having her arm compressed was painful and very unpleasant for her, so I could not measure her blood pressure more than once per day.

She had a very dangerous condition, where she needed to take some medication to avoid a too high blood pressure, which could cause a hemorrhagic stroke, while simultaneously taking high quantities of salt and potassium supplements, because she eliminated them too quickly, so in a very short time she could reach a too low sodium/potassium content in the blood, which would trigger severe neurological problems.

It was very difficult to balance the 2 kinds of medication with contrary effects and every day their doses had to be adjusted.

Without continuous blood pressure monitoring, the daily doses could be based only on guesses, taking into account the recent history.

With great efforts, her health state has been kept stable for a couple of years, but then one day, for unknown reasons, she had a sudden fluctuation in the blood pressure, which became double the normal value, so soon she had a fatal stroke.

With continuous blood pressure monitoring, an alarm would have allowed the immediate use of blood pressure lowering medication, which could have prevented the stroke.

Therefore I believe that the development of such devices is very important, despite their shortcomings.
They reorg'd in 3.0 but fell short of mandating namespace guidelines, so it was inevitable that the chaos would come back in at some point.

Who knows, it could be a good feature to earn the 4.0 moniker.
When I listen to my company's upper management I get the impression they genuinely believe that everybody spends mopst of their time in meetings and discussions and then sometimes does some deep work. They seem to have forgotten that the lower ranks spend most of their time on doing actual work and that distractions and interruptions there are quite expensive and unproductive. What's often weird is that they also set up the workspace in a way that collaboration is hard because when you talk to each you might bother the people in the next row.
I'd be more impressed by Electron in Windows 95 or DOS. This would allow modern software on ancient OS's.

> but it transmits poorly enough amongst humans that way that those routes of transmission cannot explain the current outbreak.

Previous Monkeypox outbreaks have not been linked primarily to sexual transmission. It may be that the initial cluster of the current outbreak is caused by people meeting up for sex (although really, who knows?), but given what we already know about the disease, it would be unwise to jump to the conclusion that sex itself is necessary for efficient transmission.

If there's really a consensus among experts that sexual transmission (rather than just transmission via contact during sex) is playing a key role here, then by all means reference this. I've been unable to find anything of the sort.

>most of the spread so far being amongst the more sexually promiscuous parts of the gay male community...

Here you're moving away from informed speculation (which is already unwise at this early stage, in my opinion) and simply repeating sensationalist nonsense from less reputable sections of the news media. There is absolutely no reliable data on how 'promiscuous' the people who have been infected so far are.
> Because there isn't that much else to do as a teen.

Whoa, that's a bold statement!
Some scholars would argue that this began with the era of the phonograph, the telephone, and the airplane. I tend to agree - we've been in this for a long time.

Authenticity and 'the genuine' were discussed obsessively by (all?) early 20th Century thinkers in response to the first signs of the beginning of our modern social experience.
You say "duh" but this is pretty controversial and there's a big push for remote work right now. I'm "pro remote" - my company is full remote, for example. I also think I'd have a much worse career if my first job hadn't been in an office, especially such a cool office with great coworkers to chat with. Being in an office was incredibly motivating and exciting as a junior developer.

Being in an office also made it clear how much I worked. I was there on most weekends and people noticed.

I'm not saying that that's more important than the benefits of remote, but people absolutely do act like it's a black and white scenario.
A few people have commented on the hit pieces in the UK media. The Telegraph have had an anti WFH article every day for the last month. Definetly feels coordinated!

Feel free to thank me later.
Thank you for this explanation!

In a way that is what I said: The problem is not that the types did not fit, the problem is that the code did just not behave as expected according to the interface specification. And combining many different implementations which each other through multiple dispatch increases the chances that the misbehaviour of one of them impacts overall correctness.

But my emphasis on "dynamic" seems to be wrong. As you describe, this would happen in a static language as well.

Nevertheless, I don't believe the solution is linting. That's just a bandaid. The solution is to prove your code correct. That way you make sure that the code implementing an interface behaves as demanded by the interface. There are areas of computing where that does not make much sense. Numerical computing isn't one of them.
> My doc told me I needed to start meds. I didn't want to though.

Doctors would always prefer if patients could solve problems with diet, lifestyle, and weight loss changes. However, few patients are willing and able to follow through like you did, and an increasing number will even take offense to suggestions to lose weight. Kudos for following through.

That said, I’d be surprised if dropping 7kg was the sole reason for your drastic blood pressure change. It’s likely that the improved diet and exercise required to change your weight actually underlie most of the improvement. You will have to remain at least somewhat consistent with that healthier lifestyle even at your new weight in order to avoid falling back to previous hypertensive levels.

On AWS, the best way we found to use K8S is using Margate and using Copilot to create and manage infrastructure and deployments.
Remember that Google doesn't pay for bandwidth in either direction due to it owning such a large percentage of the backbone. But yet it still charges the same egress fees as the other cloud providers.

No large customer pays retail for anything anywhere.
Because it's vague and hearsay. The most frustrating thing about these debates is that the pro-union side are so hostile to anyone who questions anything, as though they assume that anyone who doubts the union must be a business owner. I'm a worker, I would like to be part of a union that worked. But I don't see unions that work, I just see unreasonable and propaganda-like articles like these. When there is a dispute, if I try to look at it dispassionately, I usually find that I disagree with the union. So where does that leave me if I want to improve my rights as a worker?
Question for anyone who's had to onboard/train Jr's in a 100% remote environment, what's worked for you? How do you maximize their chances of success? What are some common pain points?
