If you are using AWS, no one even really needs Kubernetes there.
It goes without saying that you can handle pretty much any task and any load with AWS.
I tried using k8s for a personal projects cluster a while back and found it very frustrating to use in a whole bunch of ways, whether managed or not. I ended up just using straight docker swarm and it works fine for that level of need, especially combined with something like portainer. Much simpler and easy to understand what's going on. Obviously it's not a very useful solution on its own beyond a certain scaling point but it probably meets most small use case needs.

But it doesn't get brought up as an option very often because docker basically FUDed themselves by having two things called swarm and then loudly killing the older one making everyone think it no longer exists.
In nearly all DC charge setups the charge voltage (ie. the voltage on the wire you plug into the car) does match the battery voltage.

Sure, it's technically possible to do voltage conversion on the car side, but it either requires expensive and heavy hardware (A device that can convert 300 kilowatts from 400v to 800v isn't cheap!), or it requires funky use of the electric motor inverters and coils for voltage conversion instead - which in turn constrains the design and forces compromises.

In either case, you probably with have ~3% efficiency losses, which effectively increases the total energy bill for the customer over the lifetime for the car by 3%, which might be thousands of dollars.
I was strongly recommended to advertise on TikTok but I refuse to because I know I will get addicted.

I'd rather my business fail than get addicted to it.
> If you do a test that shows that X is faster than Y, you're allowed to say "X proved faster than Y".

No, you have the hypothesis X is faster than Y, and some evidence to back it up. It's no different than a scientist treating cancer cells with unobtainium, and claiming it "proves unobtanium cures cancer".

You need a lot more rigor to prove benchmarks. Notably absent is some independent verification and peer review. It's possible to write benchmarks in ways that bias the outcome.

If you have multiple different benchmarks written by independent authors and counter-reviewed, all showing 10x speedup, sure, call it "proven". A few benchmarks on 3 arches, no, use the word "shown" or similar.
Flipping burgers is useful work. Working in spam center is harmful. Web search is useful. Spying on users is not. And so on; I don’t think it’s hard to grasp.

Economy exists because it’s beneficial to society. When it results in gratifying behaviors that harm the society, I’d say it’s a bug.
> is not the issue

I think this is the biggest issue with every resource and climate issue right now. As soon as you point out something significant, somebody pops up with "But that's not the real issue", and points to another three.

US domestic, residential resource usage (water, raw energy, fossil fuel) is so amazingly out of whack with the rest of the world that it's starting to demoralise the rest of us.

This is a problem that can be fixed but it won't if you just want to point at other problems.
My money is that the reply was itself sarcasm.
Are you color blind? Germany is definitely a lighter shade of brown than the US on average (you should really also use a 5 year not 30 day average), also the amount of "billions" that Germany poured into solar and wind is still significantly below the subsidies that coal received (for largely political reasons), likely as many or more subsidies were also poured into US fossils.

It's amazing how all the nuclear proponents spend most of their time arguing against renewables, why is that? Maybe because it is to largely protect the large investments of electricity providers into large fossil and nuclear plants, while solar and wind disrupt these?
I am essentially still recovering from feeling completely numb to most of the terrible things that happen in the world, or feeling joy when I should be feeling joy when good things happen. Also growing up in an environment where I can get my dopamine rush on demand isn't good for being able to make long term sustained progress towards things. It felt like I was on SSRIs, but without actually being on them.
Doesn’t matter what holds up for you. What matter is the conversion rate. If someone gets 1% conversion from that Popup, then they’ll keep it because 1% is higher than 0%.

For sure some websites are more sophisticated and wait for the 2nd visit, or later in the article, etc. But most people install a basic Popup app that triggers right away as a default setting and that’s what ends up happening. Not the best user experience but they rather have the subscribers than not having them and yes some people still fill that Popup.
Because of the often exaggeration of data and/or specifications have derailed new products.
Sounds like you have never understand what you have deployed.
Kubernete is complex, you need somebody know how in your team.

Meanwhile, going fly.io sounds sensible to me.
Such methods are doomed. Consider the function

f(x) = a sin(x / a)

for very small a. Finite differencing methods would approximate f'(0) as 0 as f(x) is very close to 0, but the actual value of f'(0) is 1.

Differentiation is a discontinuous operator, and cannot be accurately estimated using numerical methods. Only exact methods, which include the dual numbers, can produce accurate results.
"Ridiculous" is not a word I'd use... sometimes symbolic derivatives are intractable, in which case complex step derivatives provide high-precision numerical derivatives which are otherwise unattainable.

Agreed. I was finally diagnosed with ADHD a few years ago. I had been self mediating with coffee and adrenaline for several decades. But I was, by all accounts, successful.

Just not happy or healthy or as successful as I could have been.
It's probably from training it, I was pretty aware of my vision when I was a kid.
It's not too hard to pick up on multiple identities, tho I'm sure it can get out of hand when you pick out the people who are reinforcing each other as a trend

My view of it, for my own personal reflection, is to first define identity. I opt to have two prongs to it, rooted in game theory: executive identity & motivational identity. Given a decision matrix executive identity is the actor being able to choose. Motivational identity is what determines the pay off values of the outcomes

It's possible to have conflicting motivation, which ends up debating itself until it's decided by your executive identity. In various contexts these motivations will overtake each other on executive identity, causing one to behave rather differently

There's a range on how cohesive these behave for people, for some it can be distinct enough to feel like a different person
The silent majority of us in the tech world knew (and know) that 2fa is a mess, will always be a mess, but for whatever reason the security-obsessed people have taken over the industry in the last few years and here we are, elderly people actually:

> losing their welfare benefits, their housing, and struggle to find work.

because of technical decisions centered on security.

I'm not sure what would be the best way forward, for the moment I'm in the "less tech is the best" camp, especially when it comes to interactions between citizens and the State, probably that tendency will only grow.
What changes is that there are different needs from different segments of the world, and we have reached a problem (authentication in general) that is truly impossible to solve with our current toolset.

For me, the larger threat is that someone impersonates me and takes everything I have. If I lost my email, it would be a nightmare but I could work around significant portions of the system. For my cousin, the larger threat is losing her email, as she has no significant assets to steal but could run into every problem in the email.

There are likely people in the middle as well, and other threat vectors. (For example: caregivers committing fraud, dementia, state actors, and 20 other we could brainstorm pretty quickly.) Perhaps the right answer is that we need 20 different services that can segment. Perhaps the problem is that some sectors aren't profitable: maybe we need a grant for emails for poor people with a circle of trust.

I don't have answers. Maybe we need a collection of people to think deeply about this problem.
I live in central Brooklyn, in a residential neighborhood. My commute (to lower Manhattan) is around 35 minutes door-to-door, including a 10 minute walk on each end. The equivalent drive would be about 50 minutes at the same time of day, not including parking.

My most recent cycling commute was just under 35 minutes as well; a bit over 7 miles.

“Manufactured” doesn’t mean it isn’t real, it means that it’s a problem we’ve created for ourselves. That, in turn, means we can undo it.
Why would you think that? It's clear that different political parties are driven by different value systems (more obviously in other countries than the US, but still), thus also quite plausable that those value systems differ in their judgement of the end justifying the means.
Tesla has a patent on replacing lots of individual power and control wires with a single smarter wire carrying both for multiple components.

They were talking about it for the model Y and it was suppossed to reduce 1.5km of wire down to 100m but I dont think it's hit production vehicles yet.

They mostly talked about lighter weight and easier robot install, but should be cheaper and use less copper too if that actually becomes an issue.
Allegedly? Apple added a feature useless for themselves but something Asahi Linux benefited from greatly. Can't really make it more clear then this. Or do you expect Tim Cook to announce Asahi Linux in the next keynote?

They're going to try plant 400,000 acres per year, whilst "through the end of July, fires have already burned 5.6 million acres this year" and they have a backlog of another 4.1 million already burned before that. The numbers don't seem to add up, it doesn't even seem like we're trying to repair what was lost, let alone achieve some net positive reforestation.
Devil's advocate: I'm sure the people learning about their non-existent dissociative identity disorders also feel as though they're learning useful information and tricks.

That being said, I'm in no way implying that the internet can't contain useful information.

but as someone who has only passing familiarity with those, is it possible to provide a list (for example) without having to read all those first?
> The software ecosystem for Rhapsody hasn’t changed much since 1014, has it?

It has become markedly harder to procure enough quality goat skin to create parchment and the grimoire which contained the formulae for the ink has unfortunately been lost to the ages. Quills are still easily available but you need to make sure they have been cured in open air for 2 years, the modern microwaved variety is clearly sub-par. What has been observed is a marked reduction in the number of bugs in the last century, possibly related to the use of insecticides.
That is somewhat reassuring, thanks for your informed perspective.
This letter earned an upvote. GMail was created to make email better. Ignorance of a significant, life-changing problem with it's availability can not be acceptable. Any Fortune top 10 with billions in their pockets must do better.

From the USDA, “Almonds accounted for nearly 70 percent U.S. tree nut export volume in recent years, averaging over 970 million pounds (shelled basis) or almost three-quarters of world almond exports.”
Agriculture uses all the water and agriculture exports most of their produce? So water has to be diverted to California. “ In 2020 the top importers of Almonds,fresh or dried, shelled were Germany ($657M), Spain ($532M), Italy ($354M), Netherlands ($298M), and France ($281M)” Can’t the europeans grow their own almonds? It’s not like we eat tons of almonds.
Ctrl + F => "bio" and this comment was the only result out of 100+. Surprising!

I think biometrics sounds like the best solution. YubiKeys will get lost/damaged/stolen and then you're back to square one. With biometrics you shift the burden of paying for and managing hardware onto the library and individual users don't need to be responsible for anything.

Of course this doesn't solve the issue of the user who is already locked out, but librarians could at least proactively enroll users who have access to their account in order to prevent the issue from happening in the future.
Pretty sure the parent was being sarcastic in response, given obviously false statements like:

> Well done, everything is harmless.
'Recession' is much better defined than 'depression'; I don't think people use dictionary-definitions to define their economic state just because the TV told them to.
archivemount supports numerous formats as it is using libarchive.

My point was it doesn't contaminate the parent projects license.
Actually on my 64-thread Threadripper that cache is more important than ever as the make step parallelizes nicely but the configure step usually is 100% serialized.
There is a comment like this any time TikTok comes up, but I find it hard to believe that (to exaggerate) everything has and will always be the same. Doesn't the fact that being on a personal phone that children have access to most of the time distinguish newer social networks (Instagram, Snapchat, TikTok) from it's predecessors. Doesn't the availability of better network connections allow for more easily addictive media have any influence? And let's not forget the ability to optimise the feed to exactly the stimuli that a user picks up on?

TikTok is different, and that has nothing to do with China or whatever other cultural/political topic. It is the amalgamation that results many years of optimising user interaction and dependence on social networks as an advertising platform. While in some aspects it is just a repackaged version of what has been there before, we shouldn't just dismiss the previous attempts as harmless, just because their dosage was less.
For context, I ran a DevOps team for the last 4 years that managed two products on AWS - one on EKS and one on ECS. I also just finished building out more or less that exact infrastructure on DO.

I can pretty confidently say, that's not K8s, that's Digital Ocean. On AWS, we ran the EKS infrastructure (which was not simple) with basically half a dev's time for years. It was only when it started to scale to millions of users that we needed to build a team to support it. It was still a much smaller team than the one that supported the ECS product (two devops).

I was mostly managing and not coding by the time Kubernetes was in our stack, so while I'm very familiar with infrastructure in general (and I know ECS inside and out unfortunately), I hadn't used Kubernetes directly much before I build this DO infrastructure. But I got it up in a week and though DO is a nightmare, k8s is an absolute joy as a DevOps. Holy shit it's perfect. It does exactly what it needs to, with exactly the right abstractions, with perfectly reasonable defaults.

The reality is that infrastructure work is just that complicated.

You wouldn't try to have a team of front end engineers build your rest backend. It's not reasonable to expect javascript engineers to know how to build and operate an infrastructure - at least not with out dedicating themselves to learning the tooling and space full time for a while. Think of it from the perspective of a frontend engineer learning Python and Django to build out a rest backend, and then multiply the complexity by 4. That's just infrastructure regardless of what you're using.

That said, if something like Fly.io can fit your needs, that's great! I haven't used them so I can't speak to them directly, but I know that with Heroku, the trade off was cost and, eventually, being limited in what you could build. Eventually you would need to build something that just couldn't be built with Heroku. A quick glance at Fly, the pricing looks reasonable, but I'm guessing the build limits will still apply.
Definitely not the same exact thing. There were not nearly as many "influencers" that have a degree in Google pitching mental health seminars. MySpace didn't have an endless addictive feed, it was literally just a modern address book to chat with your group of friends and perhaps follow your favorite band. Their business model relied on traditional desktop display ads (header/sidebar/footer), as mobile web wasn't even around back then.
No. The dual numbers are very similar to the complex numbers and produce exact results. Ridiculous is true and fair.

[edit] Also, I wouldn't count using Cauchy's Integral Formula as the complex-step method.
I honestly can't remember who implemented 2FA in this case first, but it's not only a Google problem. People also end up locked out of their Yahoo and AOL accounts fairly regularly.

> The solution is so poorly delivered librarians are an ad hoc support team for thousands of people.

Well, yes. We're also expected to be teachers, social workers, etc. Everybody has been outsourcing/dumping the unprofitable work on us for decades now, why would Google and other tech companies act any differently? It's a problem that goes deeper than Google and the tech companies; it's a general assumption that infrastructure design can ignore the worst off parts of society and that people like volunteers and librarians will step in without considering whether or not we have the capacity for that as a society.

I just think instead of 'Google, fix it', it would have been wiser to make clear that this is a general problem (not a Google specific one) and to suggest things like partnerships between the GMail team and the PLA, etc.

I'm saying this in the spirit of 'yes, we need to take this territory but maybe a cavalry charge isn't the best way to do that given the other side has machine guns'.
Yeah, definitely! This is why I am not that harsh of Kubernetes as a tool at all, I'm just saying that it's not suitable for us for these reasons. In our context of <4 FTE of dev power it just isn't worth the manpower we have to throw at it to make it work, I'd much rather invest that time into moving our core business forward. I might see ourselves moving back to it in the future, but in the meantime we really just need a Heroku / Fly.io / DO apps / AWS ELB or so.

At my previous employer (~50 FTE of devs, 2-ish FTE dedicated to infra) Kubernetes worked perfectly fine, and I think in that context it made a lot more sense.
No idea, actually (not a Rust developer myself). What I have noticed is that Rust seems to provide good tooling for building monolithic executables that contain a complete application, including assets. That's quite nice for trying stuff out or managing a few of those without a package manager, but has nothing to do with documentation generation per se.
Maybe. but i will keep it as it is for now and see how it goes

because there are double standards for certain groups.

Nowadays if you are religious or conservatives you are a bigot nazi and should be demonized always.

This isn't one sided though, conservatives demonize liberals as terrorist commies, its just that the media companies push the first narrative more often.

When we realize its all hogwash, and that news companies are owned by a few companies to promote culture wars.

At the end of the day its a side effect of media radicalization to allow the corrupt to further rob the middle and low classes of what little they have left.

I sympathize with everyone who looks at tiktok and starts to cry. That said I think this "you are allowed to show feelings" is extremely out of place and out of time. And not good general advice at all.

You should not show your feelings to just anyone. You should have self worth and share with those you trust. There is a reason why PR exists for people in the public sphere. Most people will treat you kindly and it is important to remember that, but a good lesson for the internet would be to be keenly aware of the pitfalls of sharing too much and that includes your feelings very often.
I see that Rolf Dobelli has a book on avoiding news now. But he made his point crystal clear in an article he wrote in 2010 already, and put as a freely downloadable PDF on his website. I can't find it there now, but here's a link to that PDF on some other site: https://www.gwern.net/docs/culture/2010-dobelli.pdf

It helps make them go away, over time, in the same way that refusing to use group statistics to make judgements about individuals (at a cost to your own predictive power) helps redress the inequalities that led to differences in groups in the first place.
Do you write code in python? Is it really complicated to write a script to fetch some data, extract info, upload it someplace else? It’s not.

But then, someone is trying to fetch 50GB files and now you need to play with buffers. The script misbehaves so the API rate limits you and now you need to handle credentials, back-off, etc. The script hangs in some strange state and you need to add structured logs to figure out what is happening. Now we need to upload multiple files in parallel, are we going multi-process or multi-thread? Is python the right language? Are we going to use one pod or many?

See how it quickly gets complicated? Add to all that the fact that it’s easy to spin-up rabbitMQ with some defaults with helm locally. So you do that in production as well and when it goes down you don’t know what’s happening.

As another commentator said, there is a level of knowledge that is required to things in production reliably.
