Thank for kustomize, that looks interesting.

As we tried to start the migration, we found out that's it not so trivial. I initially hoped that the Kubernetes part could be easily migrated. Not really. We learned that things like Load Balancers should be configured differently, but that's fine.

The biggest problem is that we have to reconsider the build process because the Docker registry, CI, and everything related are on GCP too. Then comes the fact that we built internal db on Bigtable, which we couldn't just switch to DynamoDB. So I guess it will be a slow process of restructuring everything to be free from vendor lock-in.
Our entire suite of sites is down, both ones proxied via Cloudflare and ones not proxied.
Are you saying FreeBSD is not robust? Did you confirm that it is the operating system that is leaking memory and not your application? If that's true, that's huge and you should file a report. Better yet, write a blog post about the details and how to recreate it.

Yes, because that's how rights work. The rights being debated here are freedom of speech and freedom of assembly, be careful where you draw the line in the sand and decide those rights end, because lines in the sand can be redrawn.

Plus, Twitter isn't used by anywhere near 99% of the population. It isn't, despite what many people say, a primary means of discourse, communication, broadcast media or politics. It's popular but it isn't infrastructure. It isn't the public commons, it isn't a utility. It really isn't worth burning the Constitution over.

An average motorcycle weighs 600 pounds while an average e-bike will weigh 50 pounds. The necessary stopping power between these is very different.

An average motorcycle will have a contact patch with the ground that is many times larger than the contact patch of a bike. Even at high speeds, completely locking up a bike wheel with mechanical disk brakes is not very hard.

The biggest issue is putting a 12 year old kid on an e-bike rated for adults with zero supervision and thinking nothing bad could possibly happen.

In my opinion, these parents are suing because they can't stand the idea that their poor decision led to the death of their child.
Most would be still profitable if they paid all due taxes. The problem is that, in many of them, it wouldn’t worth the hassle.. long hours, wearing multiple hats to make ends meet, hard to disconnect, etc.

Most small businesses aren’t fed by VC nor expect an exit. Most are just mundane and boring activities where people expect to receive a premium over a regular job. Or that or they close. Tax avoiding, in many cases, seems to be the path to get there.

Cloudflare protects this website

But, something went wrong trying to reach it
If the problem isn’t resolved in the next few minutes, it’s most likely an issue with the web server you were trying to reach.

Cloudflare is a global network that secures websites, applications, remote teams, and networks. We help build a better internet through a focus on security and speed.
Yeah Caddy's developer experience is unrivaled when it comes to setting up SSL. You don't have to run Certbot or manage certificates manually. If you give it a hostname to proxy to, it just handles certificate management seamlessly in the background.

The real killer feature for me is the Cloudflare module. It allows you to use the acme DNS challenge, which means you can test your SSL setup without exposing your server to the public internet.
Science is how we sort out the magic that works from the magic that doesn't. Just because we can observe it repeatedly, and it follows a reliable pattern, doesn't mean it isn't magic - it means the magic is REAL.

The nature of our universe as we understand it today, and by understand I mean that we can show our constructs are at least partially supported by reality, is far more magical and glorious than anything our ancestors could dream up. Yes - the universe is absent of life (and gods) as far as we can see so far. But the universe is far more grand than anything we dreamed up and human accomplishments through harnessing the magic of our world has put many of our ancient gods to shame.

Humans are amazing and this universe is magic. Don't let people rob you of that.

The adoption rate in August 2021 was 35.26%, August this year is 39.71% thats a reasonable 12 month growth of 12.6%.

Between August 2020(33.24%) and August 2021(35.26%) there was a 12 month growth of 6%.

Adoption velocity is increasing year on year and for much of the past 25 years there was little reason to roll out IPv6 with gusto and so telcos didn't bother with the investment. With the exhaustion of cheap IPv4 we should see IPv6 adoption velocity only increase.

> Yeah, there's no workaround that I can find for 3.4 (duplicate effects), 3.5 (read skew), 3.6 (cyclic information flow), or 3.7 (read own future writes). I've arranged those in "increasingly worrying order"--duplicating writes doesn't feel as bad as allowing transactions to mutually observe each other's effects, for example. The fact that you can't even rely on a single transactions' operations taking place (or, more precisely, appearing to take place) in the order they're written is especially worrying. All of these behaviors occurred with read and write concerns set to snapshot/majority.

Everything other than "sit on rooftops with a camera" in the post is just technically wrong.

1. Needles do not have the aerodynamic properties necessary to be effectively fired.

2. Chemical explosives and kinetic payloads are far better in terms of energy and weight than railguns. You'd see electromagnetic launchers being used for nailguns if they were at all reasonable for the relatively low amounts of power involved, and they aren't, and it's for good engineering reasons.

3. Chemical agents often have shelf-life issues, particularly when they're stored like you're proposing.

4. Solar recharging is going to have significant weight costs and result in either low duty cycles (most of the time spent sitting waiting for more energy) or other significant performance tradeoffs.

5. Perching on a power line does not give you access to electrical energy, you need a voltage difference to recharge, plus line voltages are really unsuitable for batteries and electronics, so you'd need a large (and heavy) transformer to step things down anyways.

6. Everyone with the technical capability to develop nuclear-powered aircraft has already looked at the problems and risks involved and said "oh hell no". Furthermore, if you miniaturize these things so they can be deployed en masse, the battery size and long-term contamination risk go way down anyways.
> I'd rather not warp my whole project around a typing system if I don't need to.

This sounds to me like MongoDB advocates like "psh! who needs a schema! don't slow me down, I'll just dump JSON into the database however I like." The types exist whether you write them down or not.

I agree with you that TS might not be great for everyone and every use case. But maybe you should just use `any` some more!

Honestly, if that's what it takes to make something work with Typescript I'm surprised anyone uses it. I thought Scala/Cats was the only language/cult that indulged typism to this extent. **d save us from the static typing Spanish Inquisition and bring back dynamic languages.
For me I use and rely on types a lot. A good type system means I write code in less time and effort, otherwise I wind up with runtime type errors and sometimes comment in my types anyways.

So I have the opposite problem: as a library user, JavaScript is terrible for me, because even when I use TypeScript I get runtime type errors from bad type declarations or even just holes in the TypeScript type system.

It's not a simple proposition for someone who is aggressively deplatformed.

You depend on other companies to exist on the internet and these companies don't have to do business with you. At minimum, you need a domain, you need a place to put your servers, and you need an ISP. For a business to not fail, you also need a way to earn revenue. Each one of these is a pressure point.
Same. The heroku incident report says "increased failure of insert/delete/changes to DNS."

Haven't changed DNS in months. Site is down.

Heroku is looking increasingly like nobody is minding the store these days. I still know of no competitor which can match the DX when it's working, but what good does that do you if it breaks all the time.

We're still waiting on them fixing our ability to restore from backups without manual hack -- which is effecting many customers, but which they don't even have an active published incident on.
Sure, but how do I make it thinner?
We had, and still have, standards to deal with crossplatform messaging, like Jabber or Matrix.

What prevents that from catching on at scale is, the "big boys", like MS, FB or Google, mostly not playing ball and never implementing these in their own messaging platforms, to keep their gardens neatly walled from each other.

As intraplatform exchange is not really in-line with what most of these platforms are striving for these days; Interactions with their own platforms and the advertisers on it.

Upstream DNS provider? I would have thought Heroku would run their own DNS servers? Is it just turtles all the way down?
Your last sentence is really my underlying point: people use the ER for non-urgent issues because it's available. Ideally, we'd have far more non-ER urgent care (which costs much less to staff and run than an ER) and that would be most people's place to go when their normal doctor couldn't see them.

For the gallbladder, if it's just an infection, not fatal. If it's a gallbladder attack, it can lead to rupture. Definitely needs emergency surgery.
Actually, it's not. With the type signature I understand what arguments the function can take. With your examples I have to _infer_ that, and there could be other restrictions that I wouldn't know. Like, can you pass a function and a string? Or do all the arguments have to be functions or not? The type signature tells me right away.

Investors are not a single unified hive mind. Some people don't care about long term profitability - they are just in a relatively short-term position and want profits now in the form of dividends and increased price. Some people want the valuation and/or price to go down because they hold short positions. Some people want the company to forego dividends in favor of investment into long-term expansion while other people are hoping for those dividends as part of their retirement income. This is true for institutions too - they have all sorts of reasons to prefer short term gain as much as they want long term gain.

I've got at home "Introduction to Algorithms - Thomas H. Cormen, Charles E. Leiserson, Ronald L. Rivest, Clifford Stein"

It's chunky and very academic book. I read it mostly when I have to interview.

From my observation, I improve at algorithmic problem-solving every time I study the fundamentals:

- Time complexity / Space complexity: In order to measure the efficiency of an algorithm

- Sort and Search algorithms

- Data structures

Over time for lack of practice I get less good at it, but because I've got the resources, I can always "get in shape" so to speak.

FWIW, this isn't always a call that person makes - I've had multiple family members advised to attend by the non-emergency service (111) and ended up with a 6-8 hour wait.

You also can face lengthy waits for something that needs treatment soon but isn't immediately life-threatening (grandfather fell and hit his head on a table, requiring stitches - ~4 hour wait for a handover from the ambulance, another 2-3 before he received an MRI and stitches).

I make mine in the bowl in a microwave oven. That saves the waste from most of it sticking to the saucepan. (Unless, of course, you eat it straight from the saucepan.)

One part rolled oats, one part water, two parts full cream milk, plus a little sugar and salt to suit your palate.

Zap the mixture on high till it boils then another five minutes on half-power. Finally allow to cool a touch, then add more full cream milk to suit your palate and the required consistency.

I said 'cook for 5 minutes'. That implies using normal 'old-fashioned' rolled oats, not the fine-cut 'quick' rolled oats.

For me, the 'one part' is 1/3 of a cup. The initial zapping time is two minutes on high (1100W microwave). The bowl is an 8-inch (200mm) conical noodle bowl.

I most often have this about 10PM when I get a little peckish.

That's one thing that fascinated me about CT when I was up there.

It seemed bizarre that even "one strip mall" towns didn't have certain categories of business. Down in the south, you can't measure a mile without hitting two serviceable Tex-Mex restaurants.

Up north? The nearest Tex-Mex is often 30 minutes away, and the nearest pizza place (which often isn't great) is 20 minutes.

You use an ambient declaration to declare the missing classish part of the type.

I mean, those numbers would be significant to an American with some grasp of history. That doesn't seem like the same thing as memorizing 5 random 4 digit numbers.

I agree though that IPv6 has some human factor problems. You can actually use IPv4 addresses in it like ::10.0.0.1 - that's valid IPv6 if you wanted to use it on your own networks at least.
>It’s highly likely that a large number of sea skimming missiles would defeat a carrier group.

I agree. But the only platform able to consistently engage a carrier group with this kind of firepower is another carrier group. Land-based artillery can be kept out of range or engaged using the force projection of the carrier.

>So would a submarine intelligently positioned.

Submarine capabilities are some of the most well-kept military secrets of the world. There is no way to assert that. In modern doctrines, they are mostly used for intel and as a platform for launching ICBMs, so I would really not bet on that.

>The ability of a group to counter a strike from high altitude is also very questionable and let’s not mention the very real anti-ship ballistic missiles.

That is true. Spamming ICBMs could work, and they don't need to be nuclear to defeat a modern carrier group :)

>Carriers really are a technology of the past for symmetric conflicts.

This is absolutely and provably false. No systems allows for the force projection that a carrier group afford. France was able to deploy & support an incredible amount of power from the Charles de Gaulle against the Islamic State. No other system could have achieved that. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_aircraft_carrier_Charle...

> Since no one impartial actually knows anything for sure about the real person behind the account, no one can do any sort of investigation that's anywhere close to ethical.

Quick reminder that Kiwi Farms has entire threads dedicated to digging up hearsay and dirt on trans/autistic targets, and for people to now say, "well, have we really rigorously proven that this person is dead, and has that proof come from a fully impartial 3rd party source instead of just from friends and family members?" -- is an extremely selective call for rigor. Since when has Kiwi Farms ever cared about the neutrality of primary vs secondary sources of information?

I don't buy that Kiwi Farms is just stepping back and saying, "we don't want to jump to conclusions", because if they were really against jumping to conclusions, I'm not sure that their site would even exist in the first place.

It's not my intention to play whataboutism on this, but:

A) if you're really concerned about rigor during callouts, that alone is already reason enough for you to dislike Kiwi Farms.

B) pushing someone to the point where they would fake their own suicide and basically abandon their online identity is also a really messed up thing to do, and I'm not sure that it changes anything about the situation or makes Kiwi Farms any less culpable or awful. "We only bullied someone into virtual suicide" doesn't make the site look any more sympathetic at all.

C) A lot of people close to Near have confirmed their death, and it really quickly gets into conspiracy theory territory to claim that Near had the resources or community organization necessary to pull off a ruse like that. Really, the only reason why doubt is being thrown on this in the first place is because the outcome is inconvenient to Kiwi Farms, this is not a level of rigor that is typically demanded in other situations.

D) Incidentally, if we're going off of Wikipedia's editorial standards for recently deceased people and asking how they should be applied in this situation, Wikipedia states Near's death as a fact, so apparently the evidence is good enough for them.

----

I can't tell people how they should or shouldn't defend Kiwi Farms, but my gut instinct is that to a casual observer, pulling an Alex Jones defense and claiming that the multiple suicides that have been blamed on Kiwi Farms are all community-pushed "false flag" events, is probably not going to endear people to the site. If anything, it just makes the site's community seem even more disconnected from reality.
There's a trend in the US to have urgent care facilities. For example, in my system if I have a problem I call (24/7) and they route me either to urgent care or the ER.

During my visit to urgent care (so early in the days of COVID that there was sign saying only people who had just flew in from Wuhan could be tested), I was seen immediately, the doctor stopped while seeing me, said "the person in the next room is having a heart attack and I have to send him to the ER immediately- I'll be back".
