That's reactive thinking and it honestly sucks. While you might encounter unexpected situations from time to time, a good ops person will be preventing problems a lot more than he firefights. If you only hire a good firefighter, he wil

Oh I don't force anything. Chrome obeys the "last window" rule while Firefox always opens things on the first profile (or last? can't recall). If you use multiple accounts on the same service (eg. Gmail for work/per

I learned vim and with me is hitting :w<cr> all the damn time. Not to mention pressing <esc> to leave insert mode. Had to use Android Studio/Eclipse for some time but it was so much harder that I kept trying to find ways to

I tried and simply couldn't do it. Although I know in my case it's a very specific issue with multiple profiles. I have a work and personal profile for Chrome and even tho I could make that work on Firefox, one very simple thing m

Probably a lot worse than the tobacco industry in the long term. With a lot more unknown effects and problems. Again, the problem is not sharing. The problem is that they knowingly manipulate the sharing. How they do that is their problem.

Not to sound pessimistic but... have they been really regulated? The most common example of this is the tobacco industry and it's pretty much still there. Smaller, sure. But do we really regulate the sugar industry killing millions eve

The problem is not that they need to police people's interactions. But they take (a big) part in deciding which interactions to display to each person and insert their interests in the middle of them. That needs to be moderated.

Last time I checked, Facebook filters your content by default to optimize their ad business. They don't show things chronologically, which would make your argument pertinent. They already filter what you see and they prefer to choose t

I also find it weird that on HN where normally people are very skeptical of any argument without data backing it, when it comes to this outage, people are assuming everything written here affects everyone. Perhaps some of the issues are loc

Then in a few months from now, people will be saying the same things after an AWS or Azure outage. Am I the only one that finds this slightly humorous?

Then people create objectives like: O - Improve team efficiency KR - Increase test coverage by X% KR - Update at least Y outdated dependencies Which are complete bullshit, easily gamed and don't actually make the company move forward o

That's the question that nobody ever answers. I'm not american but I live in a country where I believe does not employ true democracy. I actually question the ability of the majority to decide on anything, but in either case, how

Saying that "some people" do it is a big understatement. The majority of parents do that in my personal experience. Don't think I live in a bubble on that front, but perhaps there are researches on this that can prove me wron

I agree with pretty much all your points, however you are talking about exceptions. The rule is still profits first. I really wish our entire society would change to care about humans and not money but I can't see it ever happening. Pe

While I agree with you, it's not what I see day to day. It all goes out of the door as soon as profits are affected. Even more so for publicly traded companies. They will do whatever it takes to make profits. Just look at Google, Micro

The problem I see is that there are literally zero incentives for a company to do that. A company is a "being" that only has one purpose: profits. Even if your company does try to stick with a moral compass, because of how capital

The US is only one country in the world. I imagine this median goes up if we include more countries. Regardless, my point stands. with that median we'd have 50 minutes every day which would total to ~4h/week literally wasted movin

I would say: good luck setting up an email server anywhere Really not sure what Kubernetes has to do with this argument though.

Honestly I cannot refute that! Haven't had the experience myself outside of GKE so I can only imagine the complexity of it. It is a young project still. My guess is that with some more time this will improve.

by Draiken 8y ago
That's true. Stateless apps are a lot easier. I have myself had to put a stateful service in K8s even before they had StatefulSets and it wasn't a walk in the park. However doing what you described is hard... anywhere. Even if you

I call these companies not "really" remote. If you can't hire someone from Japan, your company is probably not 100% remote. It's very easy to take things normally done in an office and move them to a hangout (or w/e

Honestly, saving 1-4 hours of commute every single day equates to an absurd amount of extra time. People underestimate how long commuting takes away from your day. Just the time you take getting ready, waking up early to get breakfast fir

Yes I agree. But in the context of this article, we're talking about small projects. So I wouldn't expect the need for an on-prem setup. In fact I've used Kubespray[1] to setup a cluster with Ansible before with mild success.

by Draiken 8y ago
Key word there being "on-prem". The hard part of Kubernetes is setting up the cluster. If you are using an existing k8s master, it should be fairly easy. One day of course seems like a bit of an exaggeration to me :)

I think this is proving my point. They're basically the same, but one is completely dynamic and the other will have to be changed as soon as anything changes. We've been using Kubernetes in production for almost two years

I completely agree it's overkill to run your own cluster. That'd be good for a learning experience, but way too complex to use/maintain otherwise. However I read somewhere you had experience with Kubernetes, right? That mea

by Draiken 8y ago
Honestly, you could do that in almost the same time on Kubernetes. I understand why people might not want to invest the time onto learning a new technology, but that's not a reason to say it's a bad fit. If you know how to use Ku

by Draiken 8y ago
I have to disagree. It doesn't introduce burden and complexity. They're already there whether you use Kubernetes or not. The difference is that if you did build it all by hand as the author said, if it ever scales, you're goi

People keep saying k8s is so complex and the learning curve is steep but I honestly struggle to see it. The only hard part about k8s is setting up the cluster itself. Using it is so easy it boggles my mind how can someone say it's hard
