This is one of the investments no normal person with a healthy common sense would even consider to invest in. So if you see "timeshare" and are not dropping the flyer into the trash can, that already says that you are open to gett

Interesting to see this post downvoted. In my 1.5 years hands on experience with k8s I found that most of the problems we faced (even in much bigger scenarios) would have been solved quicker with simple Linux administration. We also found t

On premise I wouldn't suggest to run your DB inside kubernetes. It's ugly. Because on prem storage is not really solved yet (and google has no interest in changing that). And in the cloud what would be a migration scenario? (serio

Kubernetes itself is not a PaaS though. It won't do all of that for you, which has the advantage of being more flexible but the disadvantage that nothing happens if you don't code it.

Just because a protocol is old, doesn't mean you need to replace it. And newer stuff often is just a reiteration of the old stuff anyways.

Just because Jacky Chan does kungfu, doesn't mean all Chinese do. The amount of Chinese who invest serious effort into kungfu is quite small. I wouldn't be surprised if hip-hop has a bigger hobby base in China. However almost all

The funny thing is that Musk is literally destroying his public image with this. I mean, who will believe his nice nerd image if he's standing with blood stained face laughing about the crippled dead body of this ex employee of his. No

Well, he could just use it himself, e.g. if he at least wants to keep a rather clean image on paper, and maybe the biggest trouble isn't even public knowledge yet.

Strange. In the end he even explains what actually happened. His old manager didn't renew his contract in the merger with another company. Also it seems that they didn't pay him the 3 weeks after? The US is a really cruel system.

Yep and there are altogether problems that come up after you got it running. E.g. you probably want to make use of PVCs, but there is no stable dynamic-storage provider yet. Google isn't even working on it as far as github is showing.

I'd argue neither side is "good". It's good that we have both opposing sides. Both can be exploited for bad, but each time it happens there is an opportunity for the other side to gain something. And a smart investor cer

I can't really put my finger on why, but this looks like a quite stupid move. Usually in such situations this person gets fired and sued and then the top management tries to put silence over that topic. An email to the whole staff is t

I either haven't gotten the point or have to assume there isn't one. Isn't that normal error handling? The incoming error path is usually even done with exception handling in normal languages, so you don't have to worry

Afaik such pressure doesn't come from shareholders, but from the manager's own desire to get success without taking the negative effects of the risks. Sometimes the shareholders even fight for more healthy practices, also knowing

What pisses me off is that this "rogue engineer" excuse must sometimes succeed, otherwise they wouldn't do it. And being an engineer myself I can tell you that few engineers get the idea to do something like that by themselve

Are you buying directly or derivates? With derivates nowadays you might run the risk that they are not backed by anything. This needs to be considered in the evaluation.

You can't have a gazillion features and be stable. I think it's quite clear which direction Gitlab is going.
