When I was a kid I helped setting up the computers for my father's small business. The disks did fill up because of documents. I think he counts as people too You know, it really depends what you use a computer for.

No but researchers will build on this research, as researchers do and eventually some company will run a successful product based on the result of a lot of research that includes this and we'll be bitching about google falling behind.

They wouldn't necessarily have to burn their entire stake since those companies have huge infrastructures that can be repurposed or leveraged in order to make strategic investments in alternative ventures, so ultimately there may even

I'm not against having actual controllers with powerful logic. But often is possible to separate the custom logic from the bulk of the parameterized boilerplate.

Metacontroller is actually quite easy to learn. It comes with good examples too. Including a re-implementation of the Stateful Set controller, all done with iterations of an otherwise pure computation. The trick is obviously that the state

oh yeah; operators are great and sometimes they are necessary. On the other hand, most operators I've seen are just k8s manifest templates implemented in Go. I often end up preferring using Jsonnet to deal with that instead of doing th

I love the idea of keeping it simple and I do try to use kustomize or even plain yaml as installation method as much as possible. But in practice when managing large systems you inevitably end up benefiting from templating

The M1 emulation with Rosetta is actually dynamic recompilation so of you're measuring only that specific small section it's not surprising that Rosetta could have emitted optimal code for that instruction sequence

I'm always fascinated by how humans end up discussing these things. Like in this case, who has the burden of proof? I'm an outsider to this field so all I can glean is that apparently the vast majority of summaries I can find cite

A significant part of the web nowadays runs code in your browser and interacts with a thin layer in front of a database. A much part of the web uses a local in-browser db and syncs it up with a database on the server.

I'm not agreeing or disagreeing, I'm just making a meta-point about trying to better qualify one's assertions so that a reader can better judge the information content of the statement.

I'm not speaking the language I learned when I was born. I'm pretty sure that was not uncommon in the far past too.

Oh yes; I thought it was obvious but then I re-read what I wrote and it was not obvious. My point was to show how it's rather normal to have languages mixed up geographically in such a way that can explain why the same language family

The origins of Etruscans is lost to history but it's not like they spontaneously materialized in central Italy and stayed there for eons. Most of the other peoples in Europe stem from migration of people of Indo-European descent, comin

the problem with the english equivalent is that while "present" does originate ultimately from latin, it came there through a very tortuous path so it lost a lot of meanings along the way.

Yeah I agree, as a layperson with the ability to google 5 minutes and have my own priors I can reach the same conclusion. What I'm saying OTOH is that I have no way to know whether you have some more insightful things to say about this

"calling bullshit" is a reasonable act and we all should be able to wield that power. That said I often wish there was an effective way to communicate whether one calls bullshit because of gut feeling or not convinced by the readi

Some structural similarities can be explained by contact but other similarities are indications of common origin. Indeed both Germanic languages and Slavic languages share a common ancestor: proto-indo-european. "Present" also sha
