IMO the complexity of k8s tends to be overstated. Of course its a vast and complex system, but its also incredibly well documented and based on simple design principles. The reason people have such a hard time with it is - - deploying k8s o

may be OT, but how do you subscribe to these trade feeds, is there a unified service or do you need to do it individually for each source, and how much does it cost approximately ? I'm guessing if you put all this data into Kinesis or

Police in the US are thugs. They were created to protect property of the rich, and have never been legally obligated to 'protect and serve'. They steal more money than criminals in 'asset seizure' which is legalized thef

this may work well for teams of 2-5, I simply don't see this working at all for any larger teams or any team with formal development processes. The whole idea of merges/PRs etc is to be able to formalize this stuff, track it, keep

Netflix rival ??!! Only in the wild imaginings and ramblings of its founders. A stupid concept endlessly hyped by billionaire founder and vapid celebs, anti-consumer and useless, and having the nerve to blame Covid-19 for the failure of you

Precisely. DDP is also based on WebSockets and does essentially the same thing - server side computation, client side optimistic UI updates, caching etc. As with any stateful solution it has problems scaling. I'm not sure LiveView is t

Gnome already is based on html/js. There is no need for 10 different UI toolkits if one standard can be optimized. The problem is html/js are far from well designed but due to their popularity a lot of time and money has been spen

Electron's value prop is running the same code as your website, and also being able to use latest features from Chromium, Node and JS for unified development. Neutralino uses MSHTML and WebKit so its already outdated, and it won't

You're right. Although being a Linux user I'm pretty sure you know your way around a terminal and are the equivalent of a power user. Chromebooks are targeted at people who find even Windows too complex.

Crostini is still an esoteric dev only feature. No user is going to use it, or even be aware. When they need to run any apps or work with files, they don't have any options. Why can't ChromeOS be a standard Linux distro which runs

Windows file management and UI is far superior to anything out there. Its a little ironic that NTFS isn't faster than ext3 (in fact its slower for many use cases) but Explorer is amazing - Finder is a joke and most Linux fm's are

Google has been making half hearted attempts to merge ChromeOs and Android or at least provide a proper Linux distro without resorting to chroot hacks or replacing the fw. I'm sure they have internal builds which are pure Linux with a

ChromeOS is a joke if you are offline or need to do any local work. Their 'file browser' has got to be an inside joke its so bad. Its a great device for browsing + youtube/netflix + FB + gdocs. Which is why its so popular in

Its not worse. Not anymore. And arguably better in many desktop areas. But LOTD is not any easier for your average non techie. And it was never about ease of use, its about adoption, presence and marketing.

The telemetry collection in Windows 10 has been reduced a lot. And MS are transparent about it and give you lots of control and switches in Settings/group policy to turn it off, unlike everyone else. Many other corps collect much more

Ah yes, if Chinese police did it, its barbaric. US cops do far worse on a daily basis and are worshiped as heroes and literally get away with murder without so much as a charge.

Its always the same complaints about Electron's size/runtime. Try to build a desktop app using a native language/UI framework of your choice (C#/Java/C++ with whatever fancy UI libs you want) which will even come cl

What Python needs is a better lambda syntax similar to JS and true anonymous multiline functions. Defining and using lambdas in Python feels very unpythonic, this is something JS gets perfectly. Also fix the GIL.

yes I know they are different, but the lessons learnt/dev in both products probably end up influencing each other. My point was encryption of services is built into K8s/service mesh and wondering how it fares compared to FB's

I wonder what the performance differences are with their approach vs using K8s + service mesh of your choice which includes all this. I imagine Google runs a bigger scale operation on top of Borg and their internal service mesh.

FBA is very very different from being sold by Amazon. Its a cancerous scheme that charges ridiculously high 15% fees for the privilege of being listed on Amazon.

Their definition of 'smaller' is <$10m sales/year, which is gigantic and basically excludes maybe 95% of the myriad products Amazon now sells. If I'm not buying from Amazon I have no reason to shop there. Its just ano

async/await is fantastic and pretty much the direct inspiration for the exact same feature om ES6, where its a godsend. C# i s one of the best dev experiences in any language/IDE

C also supports generics - just use void * !! no, Go doesnt' support generics.

Agreed 1000%. Java is backward compared to C# - bolted on half baked features that are the opposite of elegant, a standard library that is built on the principle of 'why use 10 lines when a 1000 will do' and the tools/IDEs ar

The US is doing what it does so well, acting as a bully and using its economic/military status to abuse its power. The whole thing is total hypocrisy - the US spies/steals from other countries as a matter of policy and we spend t

Hypocrisy and arrogance at its finest - its ok for us to engage in illegal spying but not other countries. US leads the world in illegal activities and spying/stealing from foreign nations.

Vue's 'separation' is a myth. I don't know why people keep believing that separating templates and js is a good thig. Pete Hunt addressed this in the React into videos he did - you want 'separation of concerns'
