> let's be clear about the real goals. You should watch “Wag the Dog”, a 1997 movie about a president who starts a war to distract from a sex scandal. The real goals here have nothing to do with anything Iran has ever done.

Plenty of people inside the US would agree with that comment as well. The incompetence, corruption, and stupidity is hard to overstate, and the mainstream media isn’t even trying.

Some of those states could project power in orbit if they wanted to. I'm not normally a hawk but I'll make an exception in this case.

Your version of the story is fine, but the point remains, Mesos was not a good fit for most medium to large organizations at the time they began adopting Kubernetes. As such, those organizations rationally did not "choose Mesos instead

> “Policy” here refers to a probability distribution, i.e. a function that, given some context, assigns probabilities to possible next tokens. This should say "...refers to a function that produces a probability distribution."

Gemini didn't really say that exactly, did it? Because it's oversimplified to the point of being wrong. “Policy” here refers to a probability distribution, i.e. a function that, given some context, assigns probabilities to possibl

What a ridiculous false equivalence. Even libertarians(!) can object to other people blowing smoke in their face.

I said a big reason, not the only reason. Besides, Mesos wasn't a good alternative for most companies, so saying "they could have chosen it instead" is a bit theoretical. Mesos was ambitious, but that made it less suitable fo

Well, Zen tries to build a whole religion around the idea, losing the spirit of simple easily comprehensible advice that can be expressed in a single sentence. So one answer to “what new” could be “delivering the advice without unnecessary

Even in a physical hardware, on-premise scenario, it's still easier to scale horizontally than vertically in almost all cases, for all the reasons I mentioned. That's a big reason why Kubernetes was adopted at an unprecedented pac

This isn't replacing the Zig stable build at the moment - it would make no sense if it was. It's not unusual to merge separate non-prod functionality to main once something is ready for others to work on. And realistically, essent

You're drawing an incorrect conclusion from that site. Aside from the fact that "fitting in RAM" is not the only criterion for needing a cluster, the fact that it's possible to fit data into RAM on a single machine doe

The problem is that the Trump administration interprets those laws as granting them the power to do warrantless vehicle stops and searches, as well as expedited removal, anywhere in that 100-mile zone. The ACLU has a page about it: https:&
