> With that in mind, I want to talk about the sources of complexity in Kubernetes.

I don't care about the complexities in Kubernetes, I care about the complexities it (cl)aims to be solving. I reread the article a second time to see if I missed something, but the whole article just seems to be talking about the complexities within kubernetes and justifying those.

I still don't understand why every application must be able to scale to infinity and maintain 99.999% reliability. Not everyone is Google and I feel like we'd be a lot better if if the not-Google companies just recognized that instead of layering on accidental complexity in the form of infinite scaling for your service that gets all of 5,000 requests a month.

It's funny, this article mentions Fred Brook's "No Silver Bullet" and then proceeds to tout a solution developed for Google scale problems as the silver bullet to whatever it is Kubernetes is actually solving. Like what does it even mean to be using kubernetes if you only ever have 1 or 2 instances (pods?) running and deploy infrequently (which I suspect is the norm rather than the exception)?
just for visibility -- it should be fixed, added a media query just now.
House of Dragons doesn’t give reviewers with racist motivations any rhetorical leverage. They can’t hide behind arguments that it doesn’t conform to source or canon or anything like that because the original author is leading the creative process.
No, current quantum computers cannot do any practical computations. The gate errors are astronomical compared to even the earliest digital computers. Any algorithm with more than a few gates will produce just noise.
Diesel does go boom from time to time as well, not to mention LNG

I for one think hydrogen/battery electric hybrids are the most sustainable bridge to full electric transit.
Yeah I just don't think that is really the main part of their strategy. Maybe they would sell chips or boards or servers if they are already making them, but I think it is mostly about internal use so their end products have a competitive advantage as complete robots. Robotics needs HUGE advances in compute and with their own chips Tesla won't have to be dependent on a third party for their success.

All the stuff you talked about about needing perfect support before you will touch it is something that takes a lot of work for nvidia and others, slowing them down. Tesla can ignore all that and focus on performance for their specific application, and I think this gives them the freedom to lead the pack on raw performance for their application.

I'm not sure if you've watched the presentations for how their self driving system is trained, but basically they have a million vehicles out in the real world with camera systems on them, and they have a massive server farm that is collecting new data from vehicles all the time, and they train their neural net by running millions of scenarios in simulation and against real world data collected from all those vehicles. And they have to re-train the system all the time with new data, and run it against old data to check for regressions. So they have this huge compute requirement to keep improving their system. They think that functional self driving will revolutionize their business (setting aside the valid criticism, this is what Tesla thinks) so they need to be able to handle an ever growing compute load that they have to be running constantly. So raw compute power is critical to the success of their plan. It may not be enough, but if they certainly can't succeed without it. But their needs are very specific, and it sounds like they've found an architecture which is simpler than most nvidia chips, but has loads of power. So it sounds like they are making a good decision, based on their specific needs. It is a huge risky bet, but then that's how Musk likes to do things.
> What major media production isn’t diverse?

It’s still pretty common, especially in sitcoms and romcoms.

> independent contractors are free to sub out work. this is the law.

Practically speaking, there is no way a software contractor can sub out work without violating a litany of contractual obligations in the contracting agreement. Even minimalistic contracting boilerplate agreements will have clauses that cover these situations.

For example, if you sign an NDA with a company covering the work and then turn around and send the codebase to a contractor in Romania to work on it, you've very clearly violated the terms of the NDA.

So no, the law doesn't automatically allow engineering contractors to do whatever they want with the work.
Note that California (and the rest of the world) is about to start using more electricity due to transition to electric cars and trucks.
Seattle once had a similar (though likely far less dangerous) program, I believe. They paid a bounty on rats, and, yep, kids soon started breeding rats in their back yards.

True but without a solid story and good writing no amount of special effects can make it good. At the end of the day the most important factor is a compelling good story IMO
I've cleaned change rooms at an outdoor swimming pool. Things I'm glad I can say I've done, and probably helped on the way to dealing with the parenting of babies, but would be happy to never have to face again.
I assume because projects like Umbrel started around that time, made it simple to host and use To by default.
Actually, the fascists are the ones terrorising minorities - as Hitler and Mussolini's brownshirts once did. Cloudflare not allowing them to organise those activities, which include "swatting" people and hacking their accounts, is entirely reasonable. Terror and organised crime aren't protected speech anywhere. Not even America is that crazy.
Mathematical proofs and computer programs are isomorphic, so it's not unreasonable to start from the premise that with the right guidance, many skills would transfer.
In 2 episodes…

They’ve established the backstory.
There is already a conflict within the elves.
Galadriel meets a human who seems like he will be important.
Elrond has a contest with a dwarf as a negotiation tactic.
Orcs are now tunneling under villages to steal the human inhabitants.
We meet proto-hobbits and a man who fell from the sky.

So… basically nothing happened?
It helps with general concepts of manipulating variable and solving systems of equations will introduce you to your first symbolic algorithms. That gets you more than 50% of the way to understanding quicksort from zero.
> This article is like, be nice to the people you step on.

The first step is to not step on those people. Simple things matter, like following simple requests (e.g. the placing the trash can next to the door mentioned in another thread). Attitude matters too. There is a reason why some places call janitors caretakers: they are there to maintain the physical spaces people work in, not to clean up people's messes.
Look at it this way, if you’re sincere, you’re acknowledging the person matters to you. You don’t need everyone you talk to be your friend.
> In construction, parts of projects are routinely subcontracted out. The primary contractor is on the hook for ensuring quality.

> I don't see why software projects can't be the same.

Contractors can't automatically give subcontractors access to the plans, the construction site, and so on. The contracting agreement will have provisions about who can access the site, how they get approved, on what terms, and so on. Becoming a construction contractor doesn't give someone carte blanche to invite other people to a site without regard to the terms of the contract.

Likewise, a software contractor can't just decide to share your codebase and design documents with a subcontractor because it almost certainly violates many of the contractual clauses they agreed to.
there's a whole industry that does this. they're called agencies. taking responsibility for quality and ensuring no subs or staff do anything sketchy is expensive and hard, as such they typically add a 100% cut to what gets billed out to the client.

Planned PSP outages, that's another story. I think we were dark for 4 days in fall 2019
>the more you fail, the more challenges you have to do

I think that's actually a dark pattern. I was testing the captcha myself and noticed that at the beginning, it would show a progress bar with 5 segments, but after completing the third one, it would increase to 7 segments. I had a screen recording going so I know this is happening when I'm not making any errors. However, after looking at the screen recording more carefully, I noticed that the initial 5 segment progress bar didn't actually say there were only 5 puzzles. Only after completing the third puzzle (and the progress bar got more segments added) did it say "x out of 7" puzzles. My guess is that they do this to make the captcha seem less daunting and to decrease the abandonment rate, while simultaneously not technically lying.

screenshots demonstrating the above: https://i.imgur.com/a8RM4Ot.png

FWIW I got the captcha correct on the first try, after 7 puzzles total.

Hot take: maybe the writers wanted to show their loyalty to Tolkien by making the first couple of chapters really boring
idk, that makes it seem more real. there shouldn't be a requirement of being "friends" just to have conversations with people.
> "how far into evil will you go to do good?" Given that that is diametrically opposed to the central theme of Tolkien's work

But this theme is pretty much in keeping with the darker subject matter of The Silmarillion.
Your point, even though it is US-centric whataboutism, is quite correct. A private venue that operates as a host has rights to discriminate among whom it hosts. Even more so, "unsavory" here is clearly a placeholder for "legally questionable if not outright banned" rather than "social underdog some people in society feel superior to." Trolls farms are typically anything but social underdogs.

But let's step into your oranges-compared-to-apples example set. What your reductionist, presentist whataboutism misses is that the social "unsavoriness" was eventually seen to be unethical by society writ-large. However, KiwiFarms, as a vehicle for harassment against the ideal American underdogs, hasn't a leg to stand on and will remain as socially (and legally) unsavory.

Therefore, your conclusion, that the OP and those that agree would have refused service universally to Labor, Civil Rights activists and supporters, and LGBTQ, is flawed. Perhaps ironically, the OP and those that agree with the comments are contained in the union of the latter two categories anyhow.
I assume you've seen this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3A8kawxMOcQ (starting at 7:10)?

From the video vs your write up, it sounds like you it might be helpful to find a few other people to discuss your theories with them.

As for learn about an undocumented topic without just "spotting patterns" - that's a much broader / longer discussion. I've been a part of and adjacent to a few groups in that have done this professionally and the answer is mundane - think really hard about incentives and actually do the spotting of the patterns in a way where you aren't lying to yourself. If you do it in a group you can find ways to test things faster than just doing it by yourself.

As to where to find people people interested in this, maybe check out youtube channels just under the YouTube Partner Program eligibility. Which means they'll be hungry to try to get over the hurdle. As you work with people you'll slowly see who is serious and you can try to focus on working with them more closely.
How does CA's grid compare to Texas's?
Indeed, however the AptX family has other codecs that support even better quality (AptX Lossless) and lower latency as well as adaptive bitrates, so modern AptX support is still better (hence almost as good)
FWIW The show is based on the appendices of Lord of the Rings and not the Silmarillion, which they don’t have the rights for and have to avoid infringing upon.
I think the key here is keeping it at hobby levels of funding: a few thousand dollars worth of prizes at sporting events is a motivator for amateurs, a few hundred thousand would bring out professionals.
You seem deeply confused about this entire topic.

Amazon Prime Video should actually be run by an "independent firm"? Who? Who pays for that? Who ensures they are impartial? Why?

Ludicrous.

What do you see as not respecting Tolkien’s name? The quote was "how far into evil will you go to do good?". that is a question, not an admonition. It sounds like they may explore that. If so, it would not be unreasonable to end up with the same “do no evil” answer as Tolkien.

Why should we give a bad review based on insufficient evidence?
So 90% of programming is crap? (Sturgeon's law)

Seriously though, there are plenty of developers who can cautiously evaluate performance as they go. It's just that it's not a super common skill (nor is writing low level code, etc), but it exists and is happening all the time. Game devs for example.
Yeah, people are gonna start breeding lionfish and sneaking them into their competitions /s
Linux has comparable tools. Basically, you can script out the commands you want and insert them into the clipboard with Demo Magic. It's slick, but you do need to use your brain; it's not 100% automatic.

It's a tool, not a complete solution on its own.

In Japanese schools, the kids are the ones doing the cleaning. Not just taking out the trash, but cleaning the blackboards, mopping the floor, tidying up the desks, cleaning the bathrooms, etc.

The reasoning isn't to save money, however. It is precisely to teach them there's no such thing as work that is beneath them.
> When I was a contractor, our clients usually had a number of clauses in the contract that would have allowed them to end the engagement early for pulling something like that.

At minimum, any NDA would have been violated by sharing the company's code and/or access with a third party.

Being a contractor doesn't give someone carte blanche authority to pull random people into confidential work. Any reasonable contracting agreement will make it clear that the materials are not to be shared with anyone outside of the contract.

I don’t think boobs rises to the level of cuss word worthy of censorship
Not him, but I think I can provide a blunt answer, though I'll caveat that it is likely different than what he may have provided, and one you will probably not like: I do not take people requesting me to eat less meat seriously. My family, my friends, my colleagues not only do not take you seriously, we have in fact already stopped listening to you.

The internet over represents vegans, so you and many others are naturally underestimating how much of a minority anti-meat fanatics truly are.

If a self-proclaimed environmentalist even suggests that we as individuals need to stop eating meat to save the planet, then we naturally assume you are a moralizing vegan who is trying to launder your issue under the guise of environmentalism.

Eating meat is a part of a humans natural diet, studies saying otherwise have repeatedly been proven to be wrong, we no longer trust you. The ketogenic diet has helped many people I know see real health improvements, further cementing our distrust for mainstream dietary "science" that always seem to align with the morals of vegans (and big corporations) but never show any genuine results in real life.

In fact over the course of my entire life, I have never met a preachy vegan who didn't either look like a cancer survivor or a fat ass who's diet only consists of junk food.

Studies showing the negative environmental impact of meat agriculture have the same smell as the ones saying it's bad for our health, we also do not trust them. Studies saying that adjustments to how it is farmed could help the environment, are much more palatable, something people would realistically be willing to try, since there is less likely to be moralizing vegans involved within the equation, and therefore more likely to actually work at all.

Any hint of moralizing veganism within any environmental suggestion is doomed for failure. The difference between your suggestion and his is that yours isn't even going to be acknowledged by the general public, while his solution could at least be feasibly accepted.

That is the difference, even if the effect ends up similar (higher meat prices).

aMSN had this feature because the MSN protocol would establish a connection as soon as a you opened a chat window (before you started typing!) in order to be able to retrieve the display picture from the other user. So you would be able to know that someone opened a chat window but decided against starting to type (or haven't decided quite yet they would want to type).

You're free do the research into what the Texas model is actually achieving. States with more amenable conditions for pigs don't have the problem that Texas has.

Couldn't most of the backlash (the legitimate parts) be addressed by changing the title of the show to LOTR fanfic: Rings of Power?
I, and others, are using our speech to convince others that this forum shouldn't have a platform on the internet. Should you accept my speech? Should you accept CF's form of speech (which is to not help amplify harmful speech)?

Free speech isn't just the ability to say things, but also the ability to not say something, and to not help share something. Action (and inaction) is a form of speech.
Millions of people watch shows like this but only an extremely small fraction write reviews. This is why it only takes a small but vocal # of review bombers— emotionally motivated in a way the average viewer isn’t— to have a huge impact on review scores.
If I recall correctly, this was actually default behavior of one of the multi-IM clients at one point (maybe GAIM?).
I prefer not to use free services because they're not sustainable, and they usually come with strings attached

Remember I've been using this for 13 years, and if it keeps on working the same way, I'll use it for another 13 easily. (I've hosted multiple sites on it over the years)

I thought mine was more like $8 but I honestly don't remember. It's a fair price for steady service IMO
I’m sure Boccaccio was similarly nonplussed when Shakespeare produced Romeo and Juliet.
Here's a quick review from someone who is brown skinned and has read most of Tolkien's legendarily.

# I was somewhat biased against the idea of black elves before the show started and will admit that in actuality, it felt like a non issue as the show went on.

# The visuals and production values are amazing. One of the best in any TV show I have ever seen. Music, is surprisingly not memorable at all.

# the dialogs are cringe inducing. They have tried too hard to write in prose and utterly failed. You will have characters talking to each other in similies and metaphors which make no sense.

# The plot so far feels very slow and hamfisted. And at the same time, it seems to lurch randomly here and there, hoping to find some way forward. Too many Hollywood cliche decision making, lack of logic in the characters

# Harfoots are both endearing and boring at the same time. Would have been nice to cut their screentime to half as nothing happens in their story parts at all other than setting the fact that these are simple, good natured people.

# This wasn't Tolkien. This was some generic fantasy. Thats the only way to digest this work, if you have read Tolkien. It is fine to make fill in the gaps in his writing (Or appendices in this case) with your own invention. Its another to overwrite what he wrote with unhinged ideas

# One of the things which I hated in the LOTR movies is here as well - Bollywood elf physics.

# Dwarves again are Irish and exist mainly for comedic relief. Would have loved to see at least this show to give them some gravitas. They might as well have wandered from the sets of the Hobbits movies. Elves look rather old and just human. Nothing like immortal, ethereal beings they are supposed to be. Would have preferred younger actors for the role.

# Female dwarf beards? That was such a stupid controversy anyway. Even in the original writing, I read it as a funny throwaway line from JRR. I am happy that the showrunners didn't go with beards. That would have been extremely stupid to look at.

# The main character of Slay Queen is very unlikable. She is dour, humourless, everyone is ready to heap praise on her yet we only see how terrible of a leader she is. Not a fan of Galadriel. Elrond is better but the stilted dialogs and a complete lack of screen presence from the actor kills his character as well. Nori, the Harfoot, is the only one I liked so far. She is Hobbit, through and through.

# If I has to give it a rating, it would be a solid 6/10. a mediocre rating for a mediocre show. Not a terrible show by any means but not that good either. For reference, I would give Wheels of Time 5/10 - so they both are pretty close by in quality.

# Will I continue to watch it? Likely. Though, if the quality doesn't improves, I expect I will wander off to shinier things by episode 5.
Thank you, i didnt know
From the Dry Goods Economist 1909: Selling and Store Displays
Why would it matter who is signing in as long as whoever does the work follows the same agreement standards? Sounds an awful lot like controlling what will be done and how it will be done, which is the definition of an employee.
> Not having the right to control only the result makes them an employee which in turn makes them eligible for benefits and so on. This is the specific difference between a contractor and an employee.

This isn't actually even the root issue.

The contractor almost certainly violated their contract by sharing NDA-covered materials with an unauthorized third party.

The contractor also shared access credentials to the company's systems with someone else and then facilitated fraudulent interactions wherein one person claimed to be someone else.

Being a contractor doesn't give someone carte blanche authority to do whatever they want with the company's materials (codebase, design documents) and secured systems.
