But if coinbase doesn’t want to be associated with OF, they no longer have that avenue.

A bigger question in my mind is whether this is a real problem, or ever could be with higher concentrations likely to occur in this way. Certainly not having medications in the tap water seems safer than having any, but what amount of what

You typically get a dedicated VM that can scale its compute resources on demand. Or have to program something serverless.

Is k8s really considered that complex? Yes, you need a lot of tooling to go from code to orchestration. But when you are commoditizing software to run on a desktop, on prem, in the cloud, across many customers and topologies, reproducible d

I had never thought of passing legislation against unsafe languages. It sounds like the type of thorny legislative issue that leaves you with a half broken system, like all the cookie notices that currently abound. Nice in spirit, impossibl

Nearly everyone who does real work like this for the government is a contractor anymore. The government employees manage the contracts.

No, because for better or worse “he” is the default for a plurality or unknown gender in most (all?) romance languages, including English. Times and sensitivities change but “she” still connotes more knowledge than “he” so it’s bound to cau

I find that about a 30-35 hour work week is ideal for me. I have kids, a house, a social life, juggling all of that is challenging and working straight 8-10 hour days just leaves everything else to fall out in the mix. Even though I didn’t

Interesting. I think you are talking about intra-container composition, and I’m talking about inter-container composition. I see what you are saying (I think) about dependencies within a single container.

by flatline 5y ago
They are different means of composition. Dynamically (I assume that’s what you meant?) linked libraries allow you to compose binary artifacts. Containers allow you to compose services.

The WaPo article where I first read about the theory said most of this stuff. I didn’t understand then why people were so quick to dismiss it - it is eerily plausible, and we just don’t have much other data to go on. But it’s like having an

That's a pretty cynical take. Much the same could be said of any industry that relies on manufacturing and marketing. I think there's value in society at large - we are social creatures and relating to each other, mimicking each

I often drink flavored fizzy water - they are a great alternative to soda: no caffeine, no sugar, but some flavor and carbonation. Other times I drink water, or juice because it's there for the kids. Sometimes alcohol too, it really de

I realized that may have been a poorly made point on my part. If you are on call you’re on call. But a lot of “emergencies” in non-operational contexts can wait till the next day in my experience, and often do due to societal norms - everyo

When an emergency comes up, you are right by your desk and it’s hard to not sit down to address it right away, even if it’s 11 PM. When you have a deadline it’s so easy to log back in after dinner and burn your night away working. As the wo

To the author’s point, formal education is not so much about learning the curriculum, as about socialization. That doesn’t have to happen through school but you’ve got to get a group of people together somehow, and in the US that is through

The bitcoin whitepaper puts forth some pretty clear ideological statements. Similar things had been tried before, this was the first successful, widespread attempt. I would hesitate to call it "experimental".

How certain are we of this? Why could the big bang have not happened in space, at a point in some time continuum that started before the event itself? Why could it not be a relatively local phenomenon that we simply cannot observe beyond?

C++ is one of those languages where people have deep expertise. They are on standards committees, they have a high profile in the industry. But yes if you have general programming experience you can certainly pick up modern C++ and not make

$250/hr is a reasonable ballpark figure. Working as a contractor, providing own benefits. I've worked with a lot of people in this position. He should expect to pull about $300k/yr gross, which is about how a company is going

And California gives out bus tickets to New Mexico, or so the rumor has it, we are attractive for similar reasons. It’s why the movie industry is here too. I have always wondered about the homeless in colder climes - I know that I would rat

I never add salt to ground beef patties, am I unusual in this respect? They taste fine without, especially when you add all the toppings.

I believe everyone is capable of being happy in their own company. It may take a lifetime of work for some people to achieve this. We are social creatures and human interaction is essential for our well-being, but that doesn't mean you

Not all wealth redistribution is equal. There are a number of areas of wealth disparity I would not mind seeing flattened a bit in the interest of societal well-being. Some of those would come at my own expense as an upper middle class home
