all of this is likely to happen in Europe/China, much less in US where corporations still rule and there are much less federal rules, and almost no chance in most of Africa/MiddleEast/India which have no infrastructure for th

How do lightweight MicroVMs which have the speed of containers but the isolation of a real vm, as implemented in FIrecracker etc, change the landscape? Or do they? I imagine launching a k8s pod or container is still faster and offers much m

how is that any different from geofencing. The goal of an AV should be a car that can drive in any country/road. Not just fancy smart roads in western countries

Model 3 is still the best electric car for most people. Its just too expensive now but so are others. No one else has a battery thats as efficient, the charging network, convenience features like key card, integrated navigation (although Ca

Tesla is so overvalued only because of their claims of self driving. Musk utters a lot of bs but he's right that without this Tesla is doomed. They have a big head start, but other car companies are now investing much more in battery

Is fish usable for a web/nodejs developer working with the usual libs in the JS ecosystem such as React/Webpack as well as usual github projects? By that I mean any scripts included in these projects. I have seen only a few script

I've gone down the rabbit hole with zshrc/bashrc customization, there are endless options and gists and pages and its a never ending rabbit hole. In the end I realized a well configured toolkit is enough for 99.99% of people, and

Ive worshiped at the altar style over substance and looks over usability at all cost. The fact that Apple basically threw out all his 'innovations' for the new Macs speaks volumes. One of the most over rated, over hyped and of cou

I moved from C# to the NodeJs/JS/React world a while ago, when React was fairly new as well. I like JS as a language and the enormous progress thats been made in the JS ecosystem from the wild west days back then. But I have to sa

they are meaningless to oem's and manufacturers as well since they cant buy an M1 and build a system around it.

are you trying to troll? Thinkpads are notoriously well made. 'shitty plastic' is ultra durable. Macs are great if you are ok being locked into the Apple ecosystem

Have you used Atom, Sublime etc? VS Code is far better than them, and its an actual IDE. I don't know how much you work in JS but VSC is the defacto choice for everyone and has a million extensions while still being fast. If you don&#x

Microsoft buying Github was the best thing that could've happened to Github/open source in general. Screw the people who still spread MS FUD. I cannot think of any other company, certainly not FB/Goog (Amzn has nothing in thi

there is ZERO benefit to users of soldering an SSD or any other part. Its done purely for profit. Stop conflating the issue with backups, the 2 have nothing to do with each other. Even if you take regular backups you can and will lose criti

this is like telling someone that if they lose their keys, or if a light bulb inside their house goes bad, they will lose their house and all their possessions, and then say 'you should insure everything you own'. Its a ridiculous

by dirkg 5y ago
the motivation for soldered everything is profit margins and the ripoff prices for upgrades. Not security. There is no additional security here

why? its the exact same cpu arch they've had since M1 was announced. Things are better but not 100% and there's no reason to assume they will magically get fixed

Am I the only one who like the TouchBar? It was fast, useful and configurable and I rarely use Fn keys anyway, nothing in MacOS uses them.

how are they 'interjecting' themselves? They run a massively popular dns service as well as many other sites, and they are simply reporting on what happened and why people who use their dns etc might have had outages. In addition

I miss BYTE. Growing up in a country where we didn't have much resources and certainly no money to actually own a computer, but the school library did have a subscription to a few mags. BYTE was amazing. Is there any mirror? I'd r

The US will never have a high speed train, or any mass transit. This country is run by corps and nothing that helps people will get approved. Whatever rail corridors exist are being cut and the big corps are trying to get rich off of the ne

Is anyone surprised? Apple is one of the most vengeful and anti-competition companies ever and their goal is to lock consumers into their ecosystem and rip them off, and god help any company that tries to get in the way. They are a bully an

I'd love to use WSL2 but the longstanding issue with slow I/O between WSL <-> NTFS host is a dealbreaker. It basically means you have to keep all your data inside ext4 in Linux and that defeats the whole point - e.g. you can

I didn't mean to imply you can learn it in a few days, but you can certainly learn the basic design principles and overall approach, and its pretty consistent across all the k8s products.

But you are posing a similar false dichotomy. k8s isn't some massive intractable beast that needs an army of consultants to run and maintain. It can run small loads just fine as well. Anyone can leann k8s basic principles in a day or
