I suspect that, if an organization, especially one with its own hardware, tries to move to Kubernetes in a cargo cultish way and without understanding the nature of the undertaking, this could easily lead to disaster and people getting fire

What I got from mingling with the Perl community: The single most repeated advice (indeed Larry Wall himself has said it repeatedly), is that one should use whatever tool will allow one to carry out the task at hand and generally get things

Wow, the "chocolate fetish" case really kicks it out of the park. Half-serious question, did all those replies come from actual human beings? Reading the original blog post of this story and other comments here, including yours, I

Isn't it a bit harsh to say that the company that practically shaped the very form of modern computers doesn't have any significant influence?

This will come out as pure whining and probably off-topic, but how on Earth can they can have so much money (in cash no less) and at the same time can't sell some of their flagship products worldwide? We're halfway through 2019, I

The battery on my 13" MBPr, which I bought on 2015, recently begun to swell. Apple support said that a swollen battery is very dangerous, then proceeded to confirm out that its warranty was expired and there was no replacement program

That's what I mean, thank you. Phrasing it like "what we're saying doesn't line up with what we're doing" is a better way to express it.

Even as we are headed for a monoculture where the only existing browser will be for all intents and purposes controlled by one or more very big companies, one can read various complaints on HN regarding Firefox battery usage, font rendering

What conversation? Been using apache2 for like 20+ years now. It is doable to switch to something else, but would probably require effort with various details, etc. It works well for our moderate loads, so not really urgent to change it.

What about setup and maintenance of the infrastructure that hosts either VMs or containers? Given a mediocre number of physical machines (say, 40), which is easier, install, setup and maintain a VMWare cluster or a Kubernetes cluster? If so

An equally important piece of news is hidden near the end. They announced Windows Terminal, a new console application that will be able to host cmd, powershell and wsl sessions. https://devblogs.microsoft.com/commandline&#x2

I'm sure a lot of people around here won't be able to hear you over the sound of how Firefox somehow doesn't feel quite right on their macs.

Thank you. Anecdotal reports from counter-intuitive court rulings are subject to heavy survivor bias. I.e. there might be a million cases where justice (correctly) deemed absurd to prosecute a parent for letting the kids play outside. But t

Without directly disagreeing with your post, I think there is a slight OS lock-in, in the fact that the MS alternative is a horrible piece of burning wreckage. Anybody that had to put up with the autoupdate experience in Windows 10 (oh, you

May add, if you mmap(2) a memory segment (even a very large one, say 1Tb), nothing happens with regard to page mapping. It is not uncommon to see java tomcat processes allocating north of 80 Gb. But only a small percentage of these is actu

This. Thank you very much for pointing that out! We don't know which percentage of said individuals' success was due to sheer luck and which due to outright competence. For all we know, the former may very well be beyond 99%.
