It only became fashionable to call k8s crappy because it effectively won the orchestration wars. In reality it's quite good, and it changed the game for everyone. The hype for it went overboard a good bit so some swing back is justifie

But they're not doing investments that will entirely replace Taiwan's relevance. The bulk of their top tier technology will remain in Taiwan, and I would be very surprised to see that change. Moving some production to the US to al

That's a wishfully pessimistic and cynical point of view. Multinationals are made of people and like people, some of them have more less turncoat attitudes. TSMC would probably not abandon Taiwan, it knows it's essential to its de

Once upon a time DIYed a large tube structure (solar arch for a sailboat) and quickly realized why software is so cost effective. I'm so used to creating big structures with a few keystrokes. In the real world doing metal work, I would

Can the OP explain what is being said here? I couldn't understand based on the PDF document alone.

Zig isn't that new at this point. It was talked about here when Go reached 1.0.

Tentative TLDR: It seems like DD pressured a contributor into not shipping a feature that would have made DD just another telemetry vendor. It seems like right now, data can flow IN datadog libraries/agents but not out. This PR would s

Rails or NextJS on Vercel/Fly/Netlify/wtv, with PlanetScale for the DB. That's it.

I assume you're used to fixed rate mortgages. A whole bunch of countries don't have those. Actually I only know about the US having real fixed rate mortgages. Other places either have mostly variable rates or some sort of fixed pe

I did in fact make good money from these broad predictable things. Like these big corps did. And probably a ton of people.

Can't really cite, because I consume a lot of material but don't take notes. I think if you picture yourself as a population of 1000. Y'all are someone who hasn't used technology X before because you haven't yet had

I think in a way, MSFT is only doing fine because all the alternatives are doing awful. Google, Apple, Amazon, they're all not exactly at the top of their game. Also MSFT is in a huge dev. marketing campaign phase, so we as dev probabl

I think WFH and automation gained a boost from the pandemic and while the pendulum will continue to balance back, the overall effect will be more WFH and automation than if the pandemic hadn't hit. Large scale disruptions cause governm

Yup. And I'm annoyed that they pretend it was all a mistake, and try to pass me the reader for a fool by writing this sentence. That's all.

If you look the Spanish flu in particular, it eventually fade out after 2-3y, and people resumed life by a mix of adapting to the new reality and stopped caring, and the illness mutated to a less dangerous form. People (at least those I thi

Agree with you that all in all those companies are still mostly bigger than they were pre-pandemic, and their business indeed get ahead a notch by the effect of the pandemic. And clearly now the dust settles and they're ahead, overall,

They did - the employees. The annoying part is the execs pretending like this is all unexpected. They could have skipped that line, just stay quiet. Don't pretend like you didn't know it was coming.

They're taking me for a fool in that they say BS with a straight face, pretending that either they couldn't have foreseen or that I couldn't. If they'd phrase all this as "we surged in a hiring race to the bottom, w

To be fair, the skills required to do what is written about here are basically fancy-googling, not exactly "most capable hackers" level. The author walked around town and turned the knob on all the doors they could see. Some doors

Every time I read stuff like: > "Over the past two years we’ve seen periods of dramatic growth. To match and fuel that growth, we hired for a different economic reality than the one we face today." I feel taken for a fool. Ever

Food is localized. I'm in Korea now. There's very little arable land here, and vegetables are expensive. It could easily turn into a case of there simply not being available to everyone, simply because there's just not enough

It's also not possible, by definition someone needs some access. Compromise enough of those people and there's no way around it.

Using Vault isn't going to make this impossible. The secrets still end up somewhere on a host in an env var. People still get permission at some point to read from Vault. Combine enough parts of the puzzle and you can find cracks in th

Stuff is so complex nowadays that there's a ton of vectors an employee can use to eventually access almost anything on production systems. Unless you kneecap their ability to reach anything at all. Even if say you use Vault for secrets

You haven't used the fancy induction stoves, they beat everything in terms of temp control and speed. Plus you can program them and pair them with probes. See the Breville "Control Freak": https://www.breville.com&

I think at least the China situation or lack of manufacturing capacity will resolve itself by the end of the year. Reshoring will change things but I think over the next 2-3y, making it so that overall the big turbulence we live now goes do
