Maybe. I have a hard time believing that someone smart enough to set up the whole exchange and run it couldn’t think of a better way to make a clean exit and not leave an enormous mess for his wife. She would need to help, bringing the “bod

I think that’s the conspiracy theory version. He died in India (and admittedly some details were strange), but AFAIK the body was returned to Canada before being cremated. The lost keys nonsense has all evaporated. It was just a standard Po

Dunno. I suspect the US and Canada are very different both from a policy perspective, i.e. many states are “at will” (Canada has more labor protection, including things like mandatory severance), and how they measure “temporary”. The number

Yes. But employers still generally provide dental and drug coverage.

How is it the opposite effect? I’m merely saying that such well-meaning polices can have other consequences. Perhaps it’s still beneficial to society overall but I don’t like to pretend that we can get something for nothing. In general, I’d

I’m simply pointing out the down side to the equivalently “meaningless” argument that backfill contracts are a good on-ramp. I’m not claiming that the consequences of the policy overall are positive or negative — you’re reading that in. I h

It’s worth noting that the 55% is capped at the equivalent ~29k/yr, and the 33% is capped at ~17k/yr. Many employers will top off to 80% or 100% for some period of time, but I don’t know of any companies that do 18 months. > In

This is interesting. I think the correct interpretation is that you are not “distributing” the software at that point. Distributing implies making a copy of the software itself, whereas here you’re strictly transferring your ownership inter

(I'm a co-author of the blog post) Many functions of the kernel are still effectively shared: memory management (e.g. reclaim, swap), thread scheduling, etc. The application is simply limited in its ability to interact with the shared

I'm not sure what you mean by KVM syscall trapping for the guest. The bluepill refers to the fact that the Sentry runs transparently in VMX non-root ring 0 and regular host ring 3. I'm not sure what to provide re: docs -- the code

It's just log, not log log. The chart generates from .csv hosted on the site [1] and the benchmark tools are all open. The ptrace numbers are 20x and the KVM platform is actually lower than the Docker default case (though that doesn&#x

(I am co-author of the post) System calls are important, but only one factor. The linked doc is an attempt to clarify and delineate various costs. There are number of platform options (the platform is what does syscall interception), and I

It always felt to me like Sun had great ideas and vision but was too early or idealistic. Seems like they would have missed at least $200 billion in revenue with follow through. Sun Grid is the AWS that never was. Chromebooks are the new Su

It’s more than just mortgage payments — taxes, maintenance, management fees, empty losses, etc. all make it easy to have negative carrying costs. There are _lots_ of people owning to rent that don’t cover their actual carrying costs. They j

This compares against the opportunity cost of investing the initial down payment, but does not seem to factor the opportunity cost of ongoing carry costs. For example, I was able to easily craft a model where my expected monthly income was

This was one of the key points in the episode: rent control changes this. It's not about the landlords, it's about the tenants. If you've rented a rent-controlled apartment for a long time, even if it's huge (because you

Another consequence that I observed in Canada is that employers have shifted a bit from full-time employees to perpetually renewing contracts. So exactly like that example you gave, the good temp finds another “position” which happens to be

Scotland and England are not really different countries, despite what people there might say. They’re just local political divisions, less significant than a Canadian province. I assume that the theoretical open borders policy you’re descri

I'm saying that I think the value proposition for the virtual kubelet is tenuous, not multi-tenancy as a whole. For a single cluster, "very cheap" VMs solve some of the problems, but leave others unsolved (e.g. they prevent s

Note that this is not the case for virtual kubelet-based implementations, and your point here and above are specific to how Kata works (the article is talking more generally).

by amscanne 8y ago
An important element of Kubernetes is that it standardizes the infrastructure control plane, and allows different pieces to be plugged in (for networking, storage, etc.). The "virtual kubelet" essentially throws that all that away

I'm not sure why you think process start-up is such a heavyweight operation. Of course there's lots of optimization for start-up, it's the whole basis for Unix. A context switch is O(10000) cycles and 10k is totally doable. I

A lambda cold start is not equivalent to starting a process. There's obviously a lot of things happening beyond that. Does it take 500ms every time you type 'ls' in a console? That's starting a process. > About memory

I appreciate the novel approach, but you should try to use more realistic numbers for the arguments in the post. A node process doing nothing does not consume 30MB of private memory (shared mappings are shared, just like the "shared ru
