I did something like this in GKE with preemptible instances which are guaranteed to go away at least once every 24 hours. I had separate node groups for stateless and stateful work loads. My clusters were roughly a 50/50 mix of each.

DC/OS is dead, Jim. Well, kinda. Mesosphere changed their name to D2IQ and is now supporting kubernetes. You can, however install the banzaicloud kafka operator with only a few commands and very little config and yield a production-g

In my experience https://www.levels.fyi provides much better information than random tweets. Not everyone works for a FAANG, but it's useful to know what their influence is in the market.

This helps: https://www.levels.fyi/ From my experience (I manage folks in one of those companies) it seems to be pretty accurate.

I've had a fair number of terrible therapists and a couple of good ones. The only real solution that I can think of is to try several. Generally, you know early on. To me, it's a worthwhile endeavor.

This helps. The cost of living keeps a lot of people out and there's a lot of competition for the folks that are here. In smaller markets the same supply and demand exists, but there are far fewer options and possibly less willingness

Tilling consumes 2-2.5 gallons of diesel per acre, that results in ~20-25kg of CO2 emitted per acre (~10kg per gallon of diesel). > If repurposed, the land will be able to store 25 to 50 tonnes of carbon (equivalent to 10-20t of CO2). R

I'm not disagreeing that different farming practices may be more sustainable. My argument is that existing farming practices are made more efficient and produce fewer emissions when using modern equipment vs. equipment that is 30-40 y

I speculate that as corporations take over farming, their operations become more efficient providing greater yields per acre and for the amount of fuel consumed. If true, this is net positive for humanity as a whole as more people can get f
