All of these companies should have been prosecuted for dumping let's say after 1st month on the market. If what you charge isn't more than you pay out for service you provide you should not be allowed to operate.

On other hand, I wouldn't include RnD and management to that.

I don't think their advice about not using it in a startup is correct either. You just need to somewhat know what you're doing.

I know of such a case, where a single engineer could leverage the helm chart open source community, and set up a scalable infrastructure, with prometheus, grafana, worker nodes that can scale independently of web service, a CI/CD pipeline that can spin up complete stacks with TLS automated through nginx and cert-manager, do full integration tests, etc.

I found that to be quite impressive, for one person, one year, and would probably be completely impossible if it wasn't for k8s.
Can confirm. Discovered Robertson on some deck boards, matched the size and they popped out effortlessly.
having repeatable infrastructure from day 1 is great. kubernetes is the simplest way to have that. it's not the only way, but it's provider agnostic, has a lot of well maintained and understood tooling around, and splits clearly artifacts from deployment (i.e. no scripts configuring stuff after startup, everything is packaged and frozen when you build and upload the container image)

> Solve problems as they arise, not in advance.

while this does make sense for supporting varying requirements the lean way, it fails to address the increased costs that rearchitecting a solution mid-lifecycle incurs.

> Do more with less.

goddamn slogan driven blogging. what is the proposed solution? doesn't say. are we supposed to log in every prod/test/dev machine and maintain the deps by hand with yum/apt? write our own chef/puppet scripts? how is that better than docker images running kubernetes? The comparison between solutions is the interesting part.

op never say. guess "works on his pc" is enough for him, we can only assume he envision a battery of mac laptops serving pages from a basement, with devs cautiously tipotoing around network cables to deliver patches via external usb drives

Author of the submitted article here. Your write-up was one of many I went through when I first stumbled upon sandbox-exec and it was tremendously helpful, so thank you. I believe it should also be linked from the blog post I made. The main reason I wrote a separate blog post instead of adding a few bookmarks here and there is that I use my blog as open lab notes. It's easy to find and go back to ideas I've previously visited, and also to find references for more sources if I need to dig deeper into something.
My rule to use Kubernetes is only if my containers exceed the extra containers I need to make Kubernetes work, including but not limited to:

- kube-state-metrics
- Coredns
- Prometheus
- Alert manager
- Node Exporter
- Spot instance termination handler
- Karpenter/cluster-autoscaler
- Event Exporter
- Kubernetes Dashboard
- Ingress
- Cert-Manager
- Custom CNI?
- Istio (not always)
- ArgoCD (not always)

Even if they are configured with fractional CPU (which mostly causes stupid throttling issues) they still are headachaes to maintain. I used to run 4000 pods in a single cluster, using Kubernetes was great. Otherwise, nowadays I'd just go with Fargate/Cloudrun/Fly.io etc.

To be fair installing tiller hasn't been a thing for years. And pretty much everyone using cert-manager and lets encrypt which makes the whole X.509 story pretty much a no brainer.
"Containerization and declarative infra" are only a small fraction of what could be done with real network distributed OS's as early as the 1980s and 1990s, and with far lower levels of overall complexity. That "train" has left the station a long time ago, it's going full speed and there are no brakes on it either. Of course you can keep chugging along with clunky K8s and call that a "good default choice". But that's just being complacent about what real progress looks like.

Quinn is wrong. The recommended way for third parties to sandbox their code definitely remains the one the platform provides. That it is not considered to be stable is expected and the relationship between third party developers and Apple for this API has been consistent for at least the last decade.

>For LED's you need to calculate coverage of the area not pure power

He already abstracted over that by using efficiency.

>none of the math you did matters at all.

One would have expected an increase in coverage to increase efficiency by 10 vs sunlight which would have require explaining another factor 10 which could have been explained by e.g. saying that converting useless wavelengths into useful wavelengths increased efficiency by 10.

You're arguing that the things you have said do not increase efficiency. That is even more damning than a ridiculous efficiency gain.

There are many subsets of stoners, just like a guy drinking half a bottle of red wine at every dinner isn't the same type of alcoholic as the guy emptying a vodka bottle everyday by noon.

I think you're correct about the legislation to an extent, but you're being facetious about that destroying the crypto industry.

Face it, even in the sea of scams, there are a wealth of crypto projects that have delivered and do exactly as they say. It's an industry that is here to stay. There will be large shakeouts every few years, but that's relatively normal in a burgeoning new industry.
You want that capability to separate yourself from thoughts that are intrusive or that you don't wanna think. I like the metaphor of sticky thoughts. Oftentimes, thoughts that aren't good for us drive us. But what we really want is to be able to snap out of them and identify them for what they are. Meditating is just learning to notice things that go on inside your head or around you. You're training your nervous system. See https://rightasrain.uwmedicine.org/mind/well-being/science-b... or any other hit on google for "meditation parasympathetic nervous system". You're learning to regulate yourself basically.
It's really not unless you are doing a half-assed job of setting up bare boxes.

Lets see to get something even half-reasonable on a bare box you need the minimum:

process monitor: For this you can use systemd, supervisord, etc.

logging: rsyslog or similar.

http reverse proxy: nginx or haproxy

deployment mechansim: probably scp if you are going this ghetto but git pull + build and/or pull from s3 are all common at this level plus a bunch of bash to properly restart things.

backups: depends on persistence, litestream for sqllite these days, pgdump/whatever for RDBMS, wal shipping if you are running the DB on your own boxes.

access control: some mechanism to manage either multiple users + homes or shared user account with shared authorized_keys.

security: lock down sshd, reverse proxy, etc. stay on top of patching.

So are bare minimum there is a ton of concepts you need to know, you are essentially regressing back into the days of hardcore sysadmins... just without all the hardcore sysadmins to do the job correctly (because they are now all busy running k8s setups).

Meanwhile to deploy a similarly simply app to k8s (assuming you are buying managed k8s) you need to know the following things:

container + registry: i.e Dockerfile + docker build + docker push gcr.io/mything.

deployment: Describes how to run your docker image, what args, how much resources, does it need volumes, etc. You can go ghetto and not use service accounts/workload-identity and still be in better shape than bare boxes.

service: how your service exposes itself, ports etc.

ingress: how to route traffic from internet into your service, usually HTTP host, paths etc.

Generally this is equivalent but with way less moving parts.

There is no ssh server, patching is now mostly just a matter of pressing the upgrade button your provider gives you. You now only need to know docker, kubectl and some yaml instead of systemd control files, sshd_config, nginx.conf, bash, rsync/tarsnap/etc.

K8s reputation as being hard to run is deserved.

K8s reputation as being hard to use is grossly undeserved.
I used Gnome for a very long time, switched to KDE and switched back. Recently I decided to retry KDE after hearing good things about Plasma, and I can say that it wasn't hyperbole. The desktop feels light and snappy, the settings have been cleaned up and organized while retaining the flexibility/configurability. It may not be as "clean" as Gnome out of the box, but it can be customized a whole lot more to how you want your desktop to be.
That's exactly what it has.
You probably meant "Britometre" :)

If that company, the one that develops DaVinci Resolve, only produced software, would that model of £200 fixed one-time payment be sufficient to be financially viable?

Let's say the company's headcount to develop/maintain such software, plus a bunch of other required roles such as marketing, sales, hr, etc., is around 25 people averaging £80,000/year each (not that far off considering employees cost more than just their salary) to make it an even £2 million/year.

That means in order to not go bankrupt, i.e. break even, they need to sell 10,000 copies to new buyers every single year. Is that realistic? I don't think so, a company that tries that model will soon go in the red because we aren't even considering other costs that a company has, which aren't negligible. Even if you cut the estimate above in half, e.g., let's say they cost £40,000 each instead, that's still 5,000 new buyers of the software each year.

In contrast, a subscription model of £100/year requires them to have 20,000 ongoing subscriptions, which is substantially easier to achieve. I believe there's a reason that a lot of companies have shifted/are shifting to a subscription model, an alternative being monetisation models such as advertisement-supported programs.
I get what you're saying. Lots of people here suppose you're unhappy and need to get out now. I don't think they have grounds to suppose that. You do you!
I don't remember why I made it that, I think it's simply just "a reply to the letter Y".
Exactly this.

Also, they may not have lost any real money, so the users may not have the rights they think they do here (and probably shouldn’t, given the courts aren’t funded to pursue imaginary internet money).
So where is this real progress happening today?

I will say I think what the fly.io guys are doing with VMs on the edge and in-process distributed databases is pretty exciting.
That depends a lot on what that CV application does and what hardware it runs on. Naive C++ (that runs on CPU) is usually much slower than using Python as glue for libraries that run on GPU.
What about maintenance of that cluster (of possibly only 1 machine) though?
> I mean entering your house, doing my business in your toilet and leave. I won't take your toilet with me, I'll come back when I need it again

We're moving the goalpost here. And we're still talking about physical property (or possession) vs. intellectual property. I suggest we stop with that line of reasoning/metaphor.

> But your friends all have their own house with their own plumbing they paid him for, so he can continue making a living from his craft.

Again, the metaphor does not hold. Such a situation only means that the plumber is the only plumber in town. If we have multiple plumbers (so we can stick to the metaphor) my plumber can't forbid me to use my plumbing for certain uses (like watering my plants or offering water to my friends for free or for a fee).

> Writing a book takes months or years, not 2 hours like repairing a toilet, so of course the author needs to ask for money from everyone who wants to access it.

So it's just a quantitative difference? I can pay 1 cent per 1000 toilet flushes then. Seems fair.

My point is, I think these kind of metaphors don't work here precisely because intellectual work is its own thing.

I live in a country where all you see is Phillips or Pozidriv; and it's very common to mix them up. No Torx (except on some imported electronics, and rarely). In furniture there's some use of Allen for flush-head screws.

This is hell on Earth! Cam-out, cam-out, cam-out of all those cheap mushy-metal Phillips heads. And don't tell me to get harder screws: Usually you don't get to choose, you work with what's provided or already installed.

I just _wish_ Torx or Robertson would catch on here.

I assume that “internal” means it’s just that and not accessible.
Runbooks are very common in safety critical environments. E.g. aviation is completely driven by checklists. Everything has a checklist. Even amateur pilots tend to stick to their checklists.

There are a few useful properties with checklists:

- They stop you from having to improvise actions when time is too short for that. People under stress take bad decisions. It's better for them to stick to a pre-defined plan.

- They stop you from making preventable mistakes. People forget stuff. Even trained people. Especially routine stuff.

- They ensure some level of uniformity to people's actions. So, they can check each other's work and do some cross-checking.

For IT operations, run books are great. Especially if you can automate them. CI/CD is basically an automated run book. It simplifies the decision process for humans: do I want to put this live: yes/no?

But what do you do when the database goes down or there is some major hardware failure and you have to restore from a backup? In a lot of organizations, this is still a major crisis. There might be a run book but chances are nobody has practiced this in production in ages. Thinking through ahead of time what you would do is more than half of the success. It doesn't matter if it involves some manual steps as long as you know what they are. In aviation, a lot of stuff is not automated at all. And they still use run books and checklists. These are a great substitute for automation. Newer planes self-check a lot of stuff that you used to have to do manually.

Ideally you have both automation and run books. And automation can fail of course. What do you do when your cloudformation stack is corrupted or when your terraform is out of sync with what remains of your production environment? It happens and it's a bad time for experimentation. Usually such events lead to runbook updates. You learn some new stuff about exciting failure modes you did not consider before.

Having the practice of documenting non obvious things is what separates a good from an excellent engineer. I actually do it to help my future self as well. Because I know I'll go down a rabbit hole of reinventing things I already figured out a few months down the line.
My idea is similar but slightly different. You'd run your client and then choose whose provider's data to seed, eg you'd add the Internet Archive and Libgen to your datasets.

Only those entities would be able to push data to you, nobody else, so if you trust the providers you specified, you should be good.
Have you made a good faith attempt to use k8s? Or are you just regurgitating how hard it is to use based on what you hear on the Internet?

My experience is even mediocre engineers are capable of understanding k8s concepts with minimal assistance assuming things are either sufficiently standard (i.e google-able) or well documented with any company specific practices.

K8s == hard to run, k8s != hard to use.
For what you are looking for, you need an agent-based model of the economy, i.e. the economy modelled from the ground up. Top-down models will not be able to capture unknown unknowns.

Our team has discussions on Slack but strictly in threads (NOT in DMs), and we try to tag anyone who ought to be aware ASAP. If it gets too complicated to hash out in a chat then we'll get on a call. Either way, it's a requirement that once the dust has settled, someone summarizes the discussion into a document in a shared Notion page for these discussions, links it as a reply to the thread (also posted to the channel), with clear action items that have arisen from it. Works alright for us.

When I get a contract to move a startups infra to k8s the majority of the work is actually untangling the services and making them accept configuration and communication in a sane way, the actual yamls are easy. Starting with k8s actually enforces some structure and standards and makes for a much more friendly environment to work in, usually you can run the whole infra on your laptop
