I'm convinced that the only reason Helm saves you time with 3rd party services is because 3rd party services only provide Helm chart or don't provide means of deployment to k8s at all.

I've been using kustomize to deploy some things with ArgoCD and it's so much easier. Now, I'm trying to never use helm for 3rd party.

However, for your internal things, Helm is hard to replace. It's easy to start a chart that is capable of deploying most of your internal services, but maintaining it is a nightmare.

Actually, using helm, as in `helm` the binary, directly sounds bonkers to me and I wouldn't wish this upon anyone.

I can expect anyone who has a cell phone to be able to receive SMS. When I first started using a cell phone in 2007, that's all that was available. Or at least, it's all I knew that was available. Every phone I've owned since then has had the capability to use SMS, and I've never had a need to use anything else. So I don't see why I'd bother with something like Signal or WhatsApp, when there's no guarantee that the person I want to talk to will have it, and they don't offer anything I need that SMS/MMS doesn't already provide.
It’s probably best you avoid using Kubernetes in production for a long while. At the very least until you understand why your comment is being so heavily downvoted.

If it's going to cost a billion to make tools for 450mm wafers, why not just jump to 600mm, they'd get more chips which should make it economic. We just aren't making enough chips at the moment.

Lucky you. I can't create another twitter account as my number is on a network unreachable by their SMS system. Worst of both worlds for me as when that number was on another network they could verify. So leaked number that I cannot even use to verify a second business account :-(.
unfortunately it does it even if I kill all the containers. It's a well known issue and they have been circling around with attempted fixes, regressions etc for a long time [1]

If you believe anything any CEO is saying regarding privacy or really anything short of that their intent is to aggressively violate your privacy any chance they get than you are naive as hell and I have zero sympathy for you.

No one is mapping the inside of my house or recording my speech or sending video of my living space to the police because I mop my floors and have a normal doorbell and I click a button when I want to hear music. If you are too lazy to do those things then you get what you deserve.
Good to see something like this, don't forget there is already an open source alternative (pre-existing) for Alfred and Raycast. It's called Quicksilver - https://qsapp.com

Even more abstract suggestion: rotate the board with the device accelerometer.
I noticed that some formerly mostly "chat-only" (including Discord) communities I'm in are recently adding or re-adding good old forums.

"Good old" not in the sense that they are really literally running phpBB or Proboards, but in the sense that it's modern software and UI following the paradigms that once ruled web communities: Individual websites, with topics/threads in subforums, and mostly linear reply chains[1].

And it works. Information seems much less ephemeral, and I can check in to the forum at my leisure, read through old and new answers to what I find interesting, without a sense of having to be in the moment at "real time". There is also no or much less of any algorithm that sorts out the content.

I guess people must have gotten tired of this current state of fleeting, low-information-bite chatting on Discord and Twitter on one side, and the disjointed immaterial seeming mess that Facebook Groups, which I think replaced a lot of old forums, was. Even reddit and HN feed into this ephemerality with their algorithms that age out older topics and the tree-like reply structure: It's very good for news, but not good for topics lasting beyond the freshness of any news.

That being said, the Discord approach seems wrong, unless the forums are also accessible via browser. I personally want it to be a website, being able to link to posts and making it part of my daily trawl of websites.

[1] Some link or allow to uncollapse replies to other replies while also keeping every reply linearly in the thread.
you are right. didn’t consider this when I named my library ...
Another nail in the coffin for phone numbers? Useless for security, most calls are scams now (friends/family use other tech to communicate), and now leaked enough that everyone knows everyone's number anyway.
I feel you, tbh as someone who has NextJS as my main tools, it's hard enough to choose Remix or Redwood as a starter project, when I needed backend it's either Django or Spring boot from time to time.

Not really sure when to play around with these new frameworks if it's not giving me enough reason to switch, especially since they're not adopted in big tech companies it makes it harder to justify the usage when I want to build somethjing
> I’m fine with AML. I’m not someone who is a privacy absolutist and thinks it shouldn’t exist.

Why are you fine with it if it has significant costs and doesn't even work?

> My #1 concern is privacy from other people in my banking transactions.

This is everybody's concern, some people just realize that "other people" include authoritarian governments, corrupt law enforcement and anyone who can hack your financial institution and then post everything they're required by law to collect on the internet.

> Bitcoin gives anyone that information by design.

Monero doesn't.
I have to believe the motivation is much more likely placed with the treasury having the most complete view of everyone’s finances, seeing as basically every dollar earned in the US was done so on the shoulders of tax revenue-directed infrastructure, projects, research, and defense apparatus.

Something like this going mainstream would require us to completely reform the way the country collects revenue and might even affect our access to debt, so (in their eyes) why not just stomp out the promising ones with whatever justification is easiest?
That has nothing to do with allowing RCS alongside SMS and iMessage.

My iPhone gets plenty of spam SMS messages, alongside my iMessage chats. The sanctity of iMessage communications doesn't stop that.

Swapping SMS for RCS support messages doesn't increase the spam surface.
Think C Development
Off the top of my head? Namespaces, base images, configMaps (this should be pretty obvious), monitoring.

Now all of this can be done, but Kubernetes does this thing where it talks extensively about applications and then goes "oh so anyway, um, like, I guess just put that stuff in git?"

Which you can but with what separation? The way my configuration mounts to my applications is probably somewhat application determined, but "where" stuff runs is infrastructure.

None of it matters because K8S doesn't have an answer for any of it: no standard for emitting state from clusters to allow self-configuration, no system to define axes of freedom in configuration shape, no well defined system for say, plugging your applications network requirements into perhaps a clusters policy of what networking should be. No way to expose a set of permissions for reconfiguring my infrastructure to the cluster so RBAC can define a sensible ops model.

K8S is essentially a platform-for-platforms which is why it feels complicated: the moment you have it setup, you realize just how much is actually missing if you try to use it like it bills itself as.
SMS is bigger than even iMessage, so if you can spam everyone with iMessage and more by using SMS, why would anyone bother with iMessage?
Yes, child toys have higher standards.
I really regret not heading out that way when I was 23 and just getting into tech. Definitely wouldn't move there these days though

Seems legit.
Why didn't Apple & iMessage run afoul of this same thing? Is it because Google was forcing third-party manufacturers to include things, but Apple of course just doesn't have that issue?

Wow-- that's really awesome-- a very deep generalist curriculum.

This is along the lines of what I'd like to ultimately create. It's hard, though, because I am offering this in the form of electives, and students have limited slots to fill and as they get older their willingness to take any risk in selecting a class decreases. I teach in both high school and middle school, and I've found I can be a lot "bolder" in what I teach in the middle school so far.
That's good for getting started, but you'll probably want to switch into more powerful software before getting too invested in TinkerCad or Sketch-up. Fusion360, for what I use it for(mostly 3d printing), is a good compromise between power and learnability.
Facebook has data centers in Nebraska, so it's possible that their data is in Nebraska.

But even if not, because Facebook has a physical presence in Nebraska, it is subject to Nebraska law.
Yes, that's the same link as above. Some restrictions:

> Militarized encryption equipment, TEMPEST-approved electronics, custom cryptographic software, and even cryptographic consulting services still require an export license.

However:

> the BIS must be notified before open-source cryptographic software is made publicly available on the Internet, though no review is required.

So you're free to publish open source cryptographic software on the internet, you just have to let them know you're doing it. Bernstein vs US is the reason for that.
Isn’t that the safest fallback, if you know they aren’t using iMessage? The other phone could be a phone that can’t accept RCS or iMessage.
The problem is which one?

I don't use iMessage much, but there isn't One Alternative that everyone has conglomerated on.

Some groups use Whatsapp. Some use Facebook Messenger. Some use Discord. I jump around between all of them.

But if you have someone's phone number you can at least text them.
Fair enough. I'd looked at your profile and assumed you'd have come across plenty of laser printers at large orgs like LEGO & Universal Music. I guess the swathe of energetic replies to your first question have now convinced you, in any case.

It's a bit of a trope, people calling monochrome printers black & white -- they don't print the white areas, of course. Some light-yellow paper would have been appropriate for the fanfic. : )

What a well written article! It was as much an ad, a tutorial, a dream, and a plea for the future.

The art was amazing at adding to the narrative. And it was exciting to discover and play with after. The Jobs quote really made it clear what the thesis of the article was (which I thought the author still danced around a bit).

The final section changed tone and where I think the author’s true point became clear. I really like this vision of self-hosting and I think it’s way more inspiring than “avoid SaaS and gain privacy”. It’s also a great pitch for their product, as it happens. It’s a fantastic pitch for any self hosting stuff beyond reclaiming privacy.

This line really stood out to me:
> Ah technology. Just when you get cynical, something like Midjourney turns us all into children again.

As a growing adult working in tech, I feel like I’m often chasing that childhood feelings from holding and playing with technology. I think that’s why certain technology (often more hype than reality) catch our attention and drive discourse: they’re the ones that leave us like children playing and exploring something cool.
Even leaving out the natural immaturity of the vast majority of humanity, this is also an unfortunate consequence of the bottom-heavy population pyramid. With constant population growth as we've experienced for the past 100s/1000s of years, there are literally always more young people than old people.
Exactly this. Terraform is not really code, it's configuration. Sure, you have variable substitution and some limited looping.
Progressivism is all about authority, if you hadn't noticed in the last 3 years

I agree it's weird to remember the past when the opposite was true
You are testing if they have how to convert a number to string in working memory. Is that really helpful.. in real life they would look it up refresh themselves. You just filtered people who can look up answers and learn things. Aren't those skills more inline with what most positions need?
So is electricity.
Since we can switch any time enough folks feel like moving over some of the major group threads to something else, how are we locked in? I can't really think of any time I didn't do nearly all of my communication over one or maybe two channels. In the 1990s, 95+% by landline phone. Then ICQ + Phone. Then SMS. Then WhatsApp.

I also do 95+% of my driving in a single car, and 95+% of my text editing in a single program. 95ish% of my browsing in a single browser. Not locked in to those, either—in all three cases I've switched before without difficulty, and likely will again. I have no idea where the lock-in notion's coming from.
TikTok is the opium of our time. And people are hooked. And there are lots of different opiums.
Agreed but the inflation point is well made and stands.
Currently at my “peak” at Google (senior staff), after having worked at a healthy mix of startups/mid-cap/large-cap before, so I like to think I’ve seen a bit of everything and I’m starting to age in my mid 30s, I’m consistently the oldest around the office.

My next move will either be “retiring” and trying to start a solo business in super low-pressure mode (thanks to good savings), or find a right partner and be a cofounder at a typical venture backed startup in the Bay and shoot for the stars. Likely nothing in between.

So far I’m not too motivated about the second even if more than one person told me that I have the right attitude, practicality and perseverance to get stuff done (I don’t totally believe them, I know how hard it is to start one as I was in the front seat as early employee a few times). I am more looking forward to the first, somehow I am enticed about the idea of spending my days not talking to a single soul, except customers via email (can you tell I spend 70% of my time in meetings?!).

I am waiting for a unicorn I have a good chunk of equity in to go public (or bust) before taking a decision about what’s next. At that point, my FAANG compensation will either become an irrelevant drop in the bucket, or a necessity not worth risking for several more years.
> This is a US thing, right?

This is the leading surveillance capitalism company trying to lay the groundwork to break the privacy of Apple's messaging system, demanding that Apple give up the privacy that it provides its paying customers, because it is intolerable to Google that there exists data that it doesn't have access to.

The rest is noise from morons who think that you don't deserve privacy unless you sysadmin your phone to an NSA standard, and people who work in adtech.

> Qualifying art as "good" or "bad" is a subjective measure you probably should've left in middle school.

And this notion is precisely one I reject. The author himself makes the distinction between art one likes and good art, though he doesn't offer an explicit metaphysical explanation and I wish to stay clear of any kind of relativism that may be implied. (My initial reading allows for competing interpretations of the article.)

For instance, if we take the example of the fine arts, we must distinguish between beauty and taste. Beauty is objective (and as a transcendental, is to be identified with the transcendentals of the good and the true). It concerns a thing's perfection in relation to some telos, some form. Taste, on the other hand, concerns one's subjective experience of pleasure experienced in the reception of a thing. This is why we can, in principle, speak of someone having poor taste or refined taste. Poor taste is undiscerning and lacking in sensitivity, even going so far as to prefer vulgarity to refinement. If beauty were a mere matter of taste, then we could not speak of good or bad taste, or of garishness and the sublime, except as a glorified way of saying "I like this, but not that; this pleases me, that does not". I do not accept this view, though it is the received and conventional view today. A shabby and nihilistic view rooted, no doubt, in our Cartesian inheritance.

Now, this doesn't automatically mean that there can be no debate about the beauty of an art piece. Indeed, the very possibility of debate presupposes a distinction between beauty and taste, between the objective and the subjective reception of a thing. What it does mean is that aesthetic judgement is, like moral discernment and logical reasoning, something that requires not just capacity, but something that must be refined and perfected. If we debate such things—the good, the true and the beautiful—we do so with a view of conforming ourselves to the truth, and in the case of beauty, our tastes with the beautiful, just as through ethics we seek to conform ourselves to the good.
Not sure what you mean. The originator of this thread[0] is mostly talking about being surprised at US messaging habits.

Agreed that the person you replied to did not specifically mention the US, but their comment is consistent with a US user's experience, which makes sense since the thread is about US messaging.

Cause it's not terrible. It still works ok the way it is, and people tend to use FB Messenger or something if they want a more complex group chat with Android users in it. Considering that they do this even if it's an all-Android chat, I don't think it's Apple's fault, as scummy as they act with SMS.

Also, people don't care for metric cause it's not better. Basing your system around the physical properties of water doesn't help for daily usage, just for some sciences and yes for nerds to feel better. For example, many digital thermostats have to add increments of 0.5 when you switch to Celsius since each degree is twice as coarse, and you can feel the difference. Put ˚F and ˚C weather forecasts side by side, and ask people which they prefer. It's a nice spread of 0-100˚F outdoors usually, and you basically don't go outside if it's not. Freeway speeds, 0-85MPH legally and 100 means trouble. Freeway miles, about 1 per minute. Feet/mile is weird, but that's cause nobody converts miles to feet; you don't care to compare say a trip distance to the height of a human.
Probably not 'trained' as much as 'heavily incentivized'. Nobody wants to be the messenger that gets shot for bringing bad news. Much easier to cover up and tell the big boss what they want to hear as long as you can.
Case in point, though: US is allowed nukes because they are “special”, the rest cannot.
On “state sponsor of terrorism”, perhaps it’s time for the US to realise it’s a case of the pot calling the kettle back: 70+ years of clandestine operations supporting iron-fisted right-wing regimes in Indonesia (Suharto), Chile (Pinochet), Cuba (Bay of Pigs invasion / project Mongoose), Nicaragua (Contras), Iraq (Hussein prior to the US flipping on him in the invasion of Iraq), DRC (assassination of Lumumba) etc. My point here is not to be a dick, but simply to show that the US itself has sponsored hordes of so-called “state terrorists” and they get to pick and choose who is a terrorist or not based on some list in the State Department. That is not right.
Not anymore: they say “The RCS Business Messaging Developer Preview is currently paused”.
Two systems are suboptimal for developers. It would be great if Apple and Google could get their heads together and find a way to interoperate.

I don't mind the bubble colour... I'm OK with an Apple colour, Google colour, and an interoperable colour. It would be useful to signal what features might be available with each technology.

What I would really like is for the interoperable solution to have a common API so I can programmatically sent a message to anyone (at least the two main players with an option for other phone makers — and also apps like Telegram — to join).
It's not risk aversion. Hacker News doesn't avoid intelligent discussion about politics, rather this community has proven time and time again that it isn't even capable of it, especially where Trump is concerned, and people are pre-emptively flagging what's likely to be a very high noise, low signal thread.

This is a community whose education on computer science comes from MIT and Stanford, but whose education on politics comes from 4chan and the Unabomber manifesto.

I mean, I would love to see intelligent political discussion on Hacker News, politics is one of the great intellectual pursuits. But it just isn't going to happen here.
I’ve been using Kubernetes in production for over 4 years. I think I fully understand what’s going on, it’s just I have a different opinion than those downvoting me.
With all accelerators, GPUs, FPGAs etc., the solution to me seems pretty simple. Give it away. Like literally give them away like usb sticks in a parking lot. All these companies and startups work on raising massive rounds and focus on enterprise sales and deals with national labs etc., while the average joe has nothing to tinker with. Everybody who mattered had a cheap GPU, and a cheap x86 system before that. That's what drives adoption.
I believe the Signal Foundation runs on donations. So far this appears to have been sustainable, but of course you could make the argument that we don't know if that will always be the case.

But that's the case for any business, even one for which users directly pay for the service.
Not all travel is frivolous, and demonising ordinary people as if they’re doing it for no reason is unhelpful.

There are those who move to new countries and have an entirely reasonable desire to still see their families from time to time.

For business deals and diplomacy, meeting in person remains a far more effective way of building rapport and good working relationships than anything tech can provide just yet.

And travel for tourism, while arguably unnecessary, does contribute to producing more educated & empathetic segments of the population who are more likely to see themselves as part of the world rather than identifying only with their tiny corner of it. It’s a difficult one to quantify, but something we’d notice if it ended. There are also parts of the world that would become much poorer if not for tourism.

I’m all for finding ways to reduce the need for travel, asking people to travel less where possible, and of course pouring investment into decarbonising aviation. We’re at the point where it’s one of the necessary actions society needs to accept.

But don’t pretend these are not very real and in many cases very painful sacrifices we’re asking people to make.
