> K8s has an extensible Operator pattern that you can use to manage your own Custom Resources (CRs) by writing and deploying a controller

I have seen it fail way too many times. Inspecting a failing deployment that now has some magic Go code someone wrote running on this cluster. I can see using the basic kube building blocks: deployments, pods, config maps, etc.; there are enough guides and tools to help you out. As soon as you start writing code that runs in there, you're now dealing with two problems: your actual thing you're deploying, and now the operator.

Well, and then you need a mesh, and a way to manage certificates. and if it's a database to manage all the volumes. Everything looks good at the architect level - all the boxes and arrows line up, but when it breaks in production it's a nightmare to debug.

Why cant US have something like UPI [1], which significantly reduced reliance of credit card companies and extra payment traaction fees in India. Is there some regulation holding this back or no state or federal government has tried it yet.

> I can't think of a single company I or someone I know has worked at that has a security department/person that would allow this. Maybe very small businesses wouldn't care that much?

Well there are lots of open source companies where this isn't a concern. Even outside that lots of businesses use GitHub as a code repository just fine, and the GitHub tools can read your code to eg scan for security vulnerabilities.
Yea people keep talking about the convenience of not having to carry cash. I think the best benefit of a credit card is that you can do a chargeback if you're fraudulently charged or if the company does not deliver on the obligation of the purchase. Which I've had to do more and more lately as companies increasingly hide themselves behind powerless frontline customer support punching bags. I've done more chargebacks in the last two years than I have in the 20+ years I've had my Amex card.

Not saying the following is true of you, but the parallels brought it to mind. I (45) was speaking with a friend (50+) this week about job prospects. He's been employed in a particular creative field for his adult life and feels as though he's missed a boat in transferring into management tiers of some sort, while others around him did so. Did he not take the initiative? Did he not impress the right people? No one told him that perhaps he should consider this path. Resentful vibes. There's a very palpable feeling at these ages that you're potentially near-unemployable.

Now, he'd talk about principles and being a craftsman and doing things the right way. I'd say, sure, but I'd quietly wonder if he's procrastinating, being stubborn, being slow, prioritising the wrong things. My own foibles lead me to make similar mistakes, so I assume it's true for many others also.

If you have the means, or a market for attention to detail, then you absolutely can do things your way. Like you implied, you can get a lot of satisfaction out of simple things and meaningful things. But if, like 50+ friend, someone has bills to pay and desperately needs work, at what point are they making excuses when they should be recognising that many employers don't want stubborn employees prioritising what to them are the wrong things.
Based on previous behaviour I've got zero faith that any regulations will stop these bastards from taking the piss. Fines are just a cost of doing business and they're well versed in playing the legal system, dragging out proceedings for indefinite periods of time if necessary. The only way around it is for individuals to take privacy into their own hands. I'm talking adblockers, network level filtration, VPNs and burner credit cards. If you're not already having "the talk" with your family every year (especially with those less technically literate) you really should.

This is really the secret - once someone figures out how to tie all the different k8s concepts into a functioning system, you can just copy it and put it on your cluster and it will probably work. Trying to figure it all out the first time is the messy part. If there’s an operator or Helm chart or something that does what you want there’s no shame in using it!

While it's certainly not a negligible problem if your container goes overboard, seems nearly negligible as a whole! The linked article seems to suggest that it's a few thousand containers per year out of 226 million. Pretty darn good.

I would love to know more about the industry in general. When you ship a container, what kind of tracking information do you get? Etc. Theoretically it's relatively easy (not easy but... relatively easy) for shipping companies to provide that info (they know that container X is on ship Y and presumably know where ship Y is and when it's expected in port) but, I don't know how that industry works.

I do know that there are a lot of sensors you can attach to individual packages that let you know if your packages have exceeded g-force, temperature, or orientation thresholds during shipping. They're not necessarily wireless or satellite enabled, but when the package arrives, they make it possible to verify that the package has remained within acceptable limits during transit. I imagine at least some of that tech is used in the container shipping industry as well. Maybe.
unfortunately, this approach fails for basic algorithms:

Sounded like some of them wanted casual sex, but others were interested in lasting relationships. The common denominator seems to be that at 25-30 years old, men feel like they can take their time and go slowly, and have years to burn trying out relationships that may or may not pan out; while at the same age range, women feel like they need to move quickly.

Not as many dudes that want to move fast, or women that are ok with moving slow, so we end up with this disconnect.

> It's worth noting that even atomic clocks run on Mars faster than on Earth, due to the different gravity.

The biggest effect is the Sun's gravity, followed by orbital velocity. The relative masses of the planets is negligible by comparison, though in online discussions that's almost all anybody ever seems to talk about.

I can't find confirmation through other sources, and can't credibly validate it myself, but the best estimate I found for time dilation between two clocks on Earth and Mars is roughly 5.6 parts per billion, or ~177 milliseconds per year.

The current version of the ACA (i.e. as subsequently amended) limits your premiums to 8.2% of your household AGI were you to sign up for the 2nd most costly Silver plan in your state.

You need to look into federal subsidies. You can get them either through the relevant (federal|state) marketplace or as refunds on your federal tax bill.

The image from Tesla says "lower cost and higher efficiency drive units using zero rare earths". The "higher efficiency" to me implies that it probably won't be significantly heavier if at all.
If we eliminated step 2 and achieved equivalency with or even slightly improved upon the state of the art, we would still be at a significant disadvantage.

The problem is that the current best (publicly known) results are nowhere near good enough not to be verified by a human prior to deployment. So if we get to _that_ point having skipped step 2, the verification will have to be done on machine language.

And since there's no human-abstracted code intermediate between the spoken language and the assembly, the algorithmically-searched-out analogies of language to purpose are fairly likely to baffle everyone.
I suspect the comment you encourage others to disregard is pointing toward intentions and the implementation of design. What about the age of a city dictates that there is a point it must choose to dedicate 100% of available space to cars? Amsterdam wasn't as navigable by bicycle only 20 years ago.

I live in Phoenix, which is even more sprawled than Denver. I have a grocery store less than a mile from my house, and a bike path almost all the way there. Unfortunately, that path leads through an unlit and flooded underpass, through a flooded drainage canal, then ends with a stretch of grass and a guardrail to a 6-lane 55 mph road. They're so close, but there has to be an intention to complete the job. So far the powers that be intend only to serve cars. I hope that continues to improve in Denver (and elsewhere!) but sprawl and age aren't great excuses for clear choices.
I'm not at all the target audience for this post—I'd label myself the polar opposite of an AI doomer—so it was really striking to see such a different perspective. I mean, right off the bat, the opening line

> Some people are worried that AI will wipe out all value in the universe.

Huh? What does that even mean? Even leaving aside the hyperbolic clause "in the universe," who is saying that AI will "wipe out all value," and what are their arguments?

At least the author acknowledges the assumptions baked into the work:

> Investing in AI companies, by default, gives them more funding and more ambition, and thus accelerates AI. That’s bad, and a good reason not to invest in them. Any AI company that is a good investment and maximizing profits is not something to be encouraged. If you were purely profit maximizing and were dismissive of the risks from AI, that would be different, but these questions assume a different perspective.

It's hard to square this away with the author's other advice to continue saving for retirement, which (in the USA) pretty much means investing in the large-cap stock market, which includes the "Big Tech" companies who are already funding R&D for AI projects.
I would have a really hard time feeling guilty about firing someone after paying them a few hundred thousand dollars. It's not a day care, and it's not like I'm asking you for the money back. You can find another job.

And if I'm the one being fired, I really don't care how it's done, but if I had to choose, I'd prefer the option that wastes as little of my time as possible and doesn't require me to wake up at 8am to hear you fire me.

I have a theory that SQL Server made so much cash that Microsoft didn’t want Access to eat its lunch. It could have made a lot of progress in the last 25 years even with a reasonably small team.

Honestly something that could start as a local Access file and later be “hosted” on-premises for collaborative usage and later move to (e.g. Microsoft’s) cloud for wider usage/easy hosting would be useful to a lot of folk. The forms etc could migrate to HTML (rendered via local webviews / websites on a users browser).
I think they would spend their time better on improving processes and removing obstacles but that almost seems a taboo to point out. I have seen tons of scrum retrospectives that got ignored as soon as the problems were outside the reach of the immediate team. In the end you can do as much estimation and reporting as you want, but things still get done by doing them, not by talking about them
Why didn't it work? The problem I see with seniority based schemes is that they totally fail to take into account degree of preferences. If you have enough seniority to have top dibs when picking shifts, and you marginally prefer the afternoon shift over the morning shift then that's the shift you'll get dibs on. Meanwhile, the less senior worker who have kids and therefore must get the afternoon shift (so they can take their kids to school in the morning) gets shafted. Some sort of system that allows less flexible workers to compensate more flexible worker would solve this.

There are different senses of “have”. Practically, no. Naturally, yes.
Interviewing (especially system design) is a skill you have to learn these days. It's also a performance. You can complain about how flawed it is all day, and believe me I do (I'm a staff FAANG swe), but you gotta play the game. Knowing how to methodically break down the problem into smaller components and be able to confidently present the information in a manner that's easy to follow/collaborate is actually a real on-the-job skill of any experienced engineer. You have to be able to demonstrate this in an interview. The people at interviewing.io are legit and this guide is a great prep tool
I guess it depends on what you're looking for. You're right; if the family is the priority, and the partner is important to the degree that they're competent to fulfil their role in the family, then starting the conversation with what each side can bring to the table makes sense. But that feels too...transactional for me.
There's missing some context.

These two things are not mutually exclusive nor is there a correlation between them.
Note to all startup employees: If your company closes or sells for less than the total amount of funding the company took, you (almost always) get nothing from your equity. People should really understand this, because it drives home the point that taking a ton in funding rounds sets the bar that much higher for your equity to be worth anything.

That is, startup investors almost always have at least 1x preferences, which means they get paid back first before common stock has any value at all. Thus, if part of your compensation is common stock options, you should absolutely demand to see information from the cap table about how much investors have already put in (and remember, of course, they may always add more in later rounds).

I don't know all the details of what happened with Argo.ai, but given that Ford took a $2.7 billion impairment charge, my guess is they would have never been able to sell for more than their total funding.

Those comparisons are not apples-apples since BMW and Tinder do not publish their source code under MIT licenses and invite contributions from their users. There is no self-hosted Tinder that serves as the competing "if you don't like our pricing, then start your own MyGitLabHosting.com"

I hear you about "not the actual cost," but in software engineering -- to say nothing of SaaS offerings -- pinning down the actual cost per byte served or committed is incredibly hard

Maybe GitLab is trying to see how much they can tighten the thumb screws before LONG STANDING advocates like me jump ship, and I'm sure the switching cost of a lot of their customers makes it akin to ransom, but for others they have deep enough pockets that they'd eat the switching cost out of spite and those fish may be big enough to swing their stock price the other way

Yet another person who's never been to any part of Denver outside downtown. The bikeability of Phoenix is atrocious. The two cities are not even comparable in this regard. Denver, like most places in the U.S., discovered bikeability in the last couple of decades. Meanwhile, Phoenix has maintained or even exacerbated the status quo. Denver has invested tens of millions into becoming a denser, more bikeable locale. It also elects politicians who campaign on and further this goal. The same cannot be said for Phoenix.
