Kubernetes demands a cloud-native approach - VMs are deployed from container images, nothing has persistent storage by default, network interfaces must be declared, etc. VMWare tolerates more conservative approaches like hoisting existing physical machines into VMs while leaving everything running on them unchanged. It's less sophisticated on a technical level, but it's also an easier "sell" for companies with an established technology stack that they may not want to change right away. It's also potentially a better fit for organizations which need to run Windows infrastructure (e.g. AD servers, mail servers, etc) which can't be hosted in k8s.
As it happens, I was taught Dominion by other players, but really learned it from online play and other such resources. It's the sort of game with depth that exceeds most players' patience - extremely replayable, but only if you don't really care about the fact that the theming is paper-thin (literally, in a sense) and happen to get captivated by the core mechanics (and the variety offered by the expansions).

This was way back in the Isotropic days, before there was an official client. So you could play games very quickly without any of the physical card manipulation at all, never mind shuffling. (It was a very minimalist client that didn't try to simulate any of that card movement with animations; it just immediately updated hand and pile contents and resource counts.)

I guess it's really just not for everyone.

(A story: years ago I tried to design my own deck-building board game which borrowed several Dominion mechanics - but you would play out your cards physically like tiles; instead of an action-counting mechanic or an Action/Treasure dichotomy, there were restrictions on what cards could be adjacent to each other. The feedback I got was overwhelming in its consistency: the more it played like Dominion, the less people liked it. But without that anchor I was lost in terms of designing something that made sense and had anything like game balance, and eventually I gave up.)
Because if they could just do that and it would rival what NVidia has, they would just do it.

But obvoiusly they don't.

And for reasons: NVidia has worked on CUDA for ages, do you believe they just replace this whole thing in no time?
At that point, why aren't you just writing HTML?
I hope I will never have to write Server-Side generated application. I left PHP and Ruby a long time ago, and I don't miss this madness.

I've got far from perfect pitch, but I can relate. In high school (mid 90's) I took up guitar and figured out that I could use (the memory of) the intro to "November Rain" by Guns N' Roses as a way to mentally get an "E" in my head to tune the lowest string and go from there.

I'd heard the song so many times that I found I could recall the low, then high E at the start and that's really all you need to get the rest in tune.

I was very disappointed when I bought my kid a “vintage” Fischer Price record player. Turns out it’s made in 2023 by a company that licensed the look. [1]

Instead of winding a spring, the wind knob turns on an electric motor that takes batteries.

Instead of playing the music with an embedded set of metal tines in the play head, the disk just holds and RFID and the player loads the mp3 file of what the original 1980s toy sounded like.

The thing is an abomination.

When I lived in California years ago I had a custom 2-letter plate. I gave the car to a relative who switched its registration to another state.

Years later, I got a toll demand from an express lane around LA that had a false positive scan of my plate number—someone else’s partially obscured maybe?

I argued the car was registered elsewhere and wasn’t driven in CA, and they denied the appeal. I asked for evidence but they refused. I tried a FOIA request but it was denied because there’s an exemption for data that reveals individuals’ driving patterns—to get the photo I would have had to show up at an office in LA to show my ID and registration to prove it was my car, which it wasn’t!

CA law allows the plate scanning and dictates the toll violation letter must show the make and model of the vehicle in question. They just look up the DMV records for the scanned plate. They’re not doing any kind of verification that the vehicle matches. They have 100% faith in the infallibility of these scanners with no appeals process.
I can only guess.

1. A company the size of Amazon has enough resources and unique internal data no one else has access to that it makes sense for them to build their own models. Even if it's only for internal use

2. Amazon cannot beat Anthropic at this game. They are far a head of them in terms of performance and adoption. Building these models in-house doesn't mean it's a bad idea to also invest in Anthropic
I'd highly recommend reading some articles by Luca Palmieri[1], or even buying his book[2]. Although I didn't learn this stack by working through his book, whenever I had questions through the years, my searches usually led me to his articles which are often excerpts from the larger book.

The high level of API stability and lack of churn in the Actix ecosystem makes the book a particularly good investment for someone looking to settle on this stack in my opinion. In keeping with the topic of this submission, I doubt I'd be comfortable spending money on a similar book about building web apps with React.

Problem is when the expunged 90% creates a market that gets filled with a cheaper product that also can do what the top 10% needs.

Then VMware dies because it cannot decrease prices anymore due to lack of volume.

Isn't it still a React problem? They could have chosen to not rely on dependencies and you don't have to add more to it.
It is ok to say that you didn't like it. The line is when you imply that it was wrong to have made it.

I feel like saying "Someone thinks it's a good and funny idea..." Carries the implication of distain and that the joke shouldn't have been made.

Express yourself, but be compassionate, don't bully, shame, school, or any other emotive attack.
I don't think this is an accurate statement. Consider for instance that the Sinaloa Cartel is currently hiring college students to try and reproduce chemical precursors for the production of Fentanyl. This is something that's probably trivial for a real company with resources to do, but because it's not public knowledge it's difficult for them.

I think the same could likely be said for this kind of production of rocketry.

For another example, consider how Russia had to rely on Iran for the production of their Shahed drones (until Iran showed them how to produce them), despite Russia being a longtime producer of weaponry.
Everyone has their own preference. Here it's exactly the other way around :-)
The first example website given here is described "just text with minimal styling." It's not just text though, it's hypertext? Since when did everyone lose sight of what hypertext is.
I think this highlights one of the tenets that I try to advocate for when folks ask me how to get started on some sort of computer science journey. Find a thing that interests you, and work to make that. Whether it's working on a game (from scratch, a mod, whatever), building a hosting platform, writing a little utility to make your life easier, making a website, picking a project that has problems you are motivated to solve does wonders to help you through the initial suck of getting started. And as Jake the Dog says, "sucking at something is the first step to being kinda good at something", so anything that helps offset the suck can be essential.
Speaking of Hitchens, I highly recommend his “Letters to a Young Contrarian”. Or any writing of his, to be honest.
Maybe this is something DOGE can look into.
I'd add HTC's mobile phone unit to the list of strategically important Google acquisitions (and prehaps Dropcam, too). Without either of those -- even with all the fits & starts, they'd never have gotten to where they are today, building pretty great hardware with pretty good support and a decent supply chain, and largely with "good" software on top.

M3/M4 Max MacBooks with 128GB RAM are already way better than an A6000 for very large local LLMs. So even if the GPU is as slow as the one in M3/M4 Max (<3070), and using some basic RAM like LPDDR5x it would still be way faster than anything from NVidia.
I think it helped that I was a regular attendee at Mass before becoming a chorister so I had the advantage of years of singing in the congregation where you’re surrounded by people singing (or not) of various skill levels and it’s kind of expected that you sing around others. Most church choirs are pretty welcoming though and tend to be a bit desperate for male voices. Only the Cathedral choir had an audition process.¹ Beyond that, I think a big part of it is to just accept that you’ll be with other amateurs and you won’t be the only one who makes mistakes on occasion.

⸻

1. The cathedral choir kind of spoiled me for choral singing though. In most church choirs, the accompanist will play choral parts one at a time for the singers to hear them. At Holy Name, they just played all four parts together and you had to hear your part in the chord.
Right, piracy is a real issue here, but I think DRM and making games a SAAS hurts the industry in the long run. I'm still not convinced it's such an issue that it requires these methods of control. Indie games are constantly releasing titles that do well and become huge. If a game is good it will do well regardless because there will be enough people who pay for it, but I get that it's hard to convince large companies of this.
The problem with disarmed pacifism is that if Russia decides it wants a european conquest, there is no possibility for peace. You cannot prevent war from only one side. There MUST be attempts at peace from the other side. If they do not believe in reasonable peace terms, for example as the Nazis and Japanese did in WW2, there is no amount of pacifism or disarmament or neutrality or "war is bad" can prevent war.

In fact, if your adversary wants war, insisting we do nothing to protect ourselves and allies IS "sleepwalking into WW3"

Peace REQUIRES buy in from the other party. Without that buy in, there is NOTHING you can do to prevent it. Russia right now insists to it's people that they are fighting NATO. The people of Russia insist they are in a war with NATO. It does not matter what WE want or believe or insist, if Russia insists on a war with NATO, they will get it. You don't get to just dig your head into the sand and pretend it's not happening.

Armed neutrality is the only option.

People love to point out WW2 as the obvious example, but I think WW1 is a better example honestly. Austria-Hungary wanted to go to war with Serbia. They were committed to doing so well before the Archduke was assassinated. They drew up ten absurd demands that they expected Serbia to reject so they would have a pretense for war. Serbia surprised everyone by agreeing to 9/10 of the demands. Austria-Hungary still invaded, because they wanted conquest, not whatever made up demands they had submitted. There was nothing Serbia could have done to prevent the war other than capitulate entirely, and that would not have gone well for millions of people.

This is how I see it. You need to be a nextjs expert to produce a nextjs website. Astro you just need to understand basic concepts and can produce a website. I tried nextjs, and the complexity for a SPA was off the charts. Switched to Astro and never looked back.

To be fair, we do not know whether she actively decided not to get vaccinated for rabies after her encounter. She may have been ignorant of the need to do so.
Many recipients are very far from ideals based on which its supposedly decided. That stuff, which has nothing to do with actual Nobel prize as we know it for advancing human knowledge and rather just political decision of a different (governmental?) committee should probably cease to exist.
Unless you're on the hype train "all things AI". It's always surprising how many real life problems do not necessarily need a solution based on the buzzwords du jour. All things blockchain, all things microservices, all things as-a-service, all those came and went, washing off the bubbles and leaving behind the (fewer) worthy pieces.
If you enjoy that article I recommend reading "How Hitchens Can Save the Left" by the same author.

I just finished reading it (audiobook actually) and it was a refreshing take, amongst other things discussed in the article, on how the left is actually eating itself from the insides through identity politics.

If you are at all concerned about the way politics are going right now this might give you a foundation on which to build your arguments for change.

Still zero serious evidence of this.
> Tying back to my original point, are the brackets, annotations, semicolons, and return really needed? From my perspective, the answer is no. These are the simplest functions you can have as well. The differences get multiplied over a large codebase.

The answer is no for this trivial function. As your code goes beyond this it gets harder for humans to parse and so the syntax becomes more necessary.

My earlier analogy is pretty perfect here actually. Do you really need spaces in "thank you"? No clearly not. Does that mean you shouldn't use spaces at all?

> Are people here really making the argument that F# and MLs don't have clean syntax?

No. You are literally replying to a comment where I agreed that it is "clean".
To be clear, when I said make it cost more, I was thinking more like taxes. Similar to how we should be taxing vacant homes to raise the cost of keeping empty properties and lower the rents in turn.
VMWare is far easier solution for normal enterprises than K8s. K8s more suited for having many small VMs that can be quickly deleted and recreated i.e modern microservice architecture. vSphere & friends is more targeted for running very large database, oriented application that need high uptime and are very long lived. VMWare can live migrate a running OS between physical hosts so that you can have continuous uptime. VMWare works with any OS so it's especially used by any Microsoft based orgs which the majority of hospitals, schools, government offices are.

If you are deploying enterprise apps from the 1990-2000s you use vSphere, if you are building your own SaaS product then you use K8s.
Meta comment: "why don't they just" phrase usually indicates significant ignorance about a subject, it's better to learn a little bit before dispensing criticism about beancounters or whatnot.

In this case, the die I/O limits precludes more than a reasonable number of DDR channels.

They can use LPDDR5x, it would still massively accelerate inference of large local LLMs that need more than 48GB RAM. Any tensor swapping between CPU RAM and GPU RAM kills the performance.
Do not ever touch bats. Never ever. If you do touch a bat, go to the ER and tell them you touched a bat.
"The basic, domestic quality thermionic tubes have codes for a projected life span of either 1500 (6Н3П-Е) or only 500 hours (6Н3П). Many were used and then stored for over 50 years, quality stamps may have been accidentally altered, so life expectancy may be questionable, both for the tubes and for me!"

I love the idea of an expiration date, or at least an ever-present need for repair. It emphasizes the idea that the computer is a machine, subject to the constraints of the physical world. There's something charming about that.
Going off of how the 4090 and 7900 xtx is arranged I think you could maybe fit on or two chips more around the die over their 12, but that's still a far cry from 128. That would probably just need a shared bus like normal DDR as you're not fitting that much with 16 gbit density
I agree with this. And once that kinda tailed off a bit, it was time for the cloud firms (plus Nvidia, and for a time, Zoom, Tesla & Netflix) to create renewed demand.

The 2nd amendment was added because the founding fathers didn't want a federal military. Instead, they wanted every state to have its own militia [1]. The interpretation that it means every private citizen can own a gun is modern not historic. It wasn't until the 2008 DC V Heller case that the right to firearms was actually established.

next.js reminds me of Ruby on Rails, main pain point is they keep changing how they do things, but docs, examples etc can't keep up so I'm constantly seeing the wrong answers to my problems.

An example of this is how they implemented sitemap.xml, but half arsed doing a sitemap index properly (which really wasn't much work), so they will end up doing it properly in some version, in the mean time you have to work around the framework (it would be better if they didn't even have this feature), and when the release a proper implementation new users will struggle to find the answers on how to do it.

This all adds friction to upgrade, I'd like to move to v15 as it has a feature I really need, but they have changed the bloody confusing caching system, not sure it's worth the work. Creating web frameworks that are volatile is fine if your just building short lived projects, but not anything more complex and longer lived, this is the same pain and why I gave up on RoR.

> why should I start a new project

You should not. Simple as that. Odds are very good there already is a project that does what you want and you should join or buy that. If you start a new project you have a lot of effort to be just as good as the previous one, and those projects are not standing still.

Okay, maybe it makes sense to start a new game. However you should use an existing game engine not build your own. A few other things like that exist.
TL;DR it slowly, and mostly asymptomatically, eats its way up your nerves until it reaches your brain and starts eating that. That's when you start developing significant signs and symptoms, by which point, maybe weeks after exposure and without evident illness in the meantime, you're already dead. There's a treatment protocol—it's grueling and if you live, you'll suffer some amount of permanent disability. And, statistically, you won't live. You're dead.

The course after that is a few weeks of effectively rapid-onset severe dementia. Animals don't get violent and unpredictable because the virus is simply angry-making—they get that way because they stop recognizing once-familiar things and can't remember how they got where they are, and so are constantly fucking terrified, plus their throats are closing up so they can't eat or drink (assuming they could remember to, or how to) and are experiencing dehydration and starvation. That's your near future by the time there are signs of the disease. You're about to dehydrate to death over a period of low-tens of days while becoming increasingly confused and frightened by your situation and by your own loved ones.

It's absolutely horrifying.

A fraction of CUDA capabilities.
Don't rent a GPU for gaming, unless you're doing something like a full-on game streaming service. +10ms isn't much for some games, but would be noticeable on plenty.

IMO you want those frames getting rendered as close to the monitor as possible, and you'd probably have a better time with lower fidelity graphics rendered locally. You'd also get to keep gaming during a network outage.
