Enjoyed the article but having watched containerization and kubernetes maturing over the last 5 years (especially at an enterprise level), I'd say a huge part of the value proposition is (and this applies more to K8) it really catalyse

South African here. It's not so much the state has lost its monopoly on force, but rather through years of top down corruption which has pervaded all levels of government, police and state officials aren't incentivised to be effec

Zero speculation regarding the diets of chimpanzees, orangutans and gorillas (well studied and documented) [1]. [2] B12 sources up until it was possible to synthesize in the 60s were exclusively from animal products. Also, if you're ev

I've been feeling more conflicted about consuming meat lately, but it's blanket assertions like this that trigger my inner libertarian hard, and I come out swinging. There is considerable evidence suggesting meat consumption contr

Agree, a lot of surface arguments and very disconnected / short-sighted in terms of the future of crypto and applications of block chain in general. Bitcoin as a cryptocurrency is nascent, and certainly has userland issues, especially

Or: How IaC saved our asses when Google suspended our project under false pretenses, provided no mechanism for us to vindicate or defend ourselves (without paying extra for GCP support) and forced us to wait 3 days for an appeal to be revie

So let's aim to reduce the source that emits the least and get to transport and industry later?

Agriculture accounts for 10% of global greenhouse gas emissions, of which livestock is only a portion (soil and crops are lumped in with agriculture). Focussing on the smallest denominator in reducing emissions is nonsensical ( https:&#x2F

Actually the global poverty line has been on a steady decline over the last three decades ( https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extreme_poverty ). We have made untold advances in the medical sciences (hello MRNA vaccines), w

Hmmm this makes me think of powerlifters. Curating a 'power gut' is pretty normal for competing lifters (even hobbyists). Intuition would make me wager testosterone levels of you average powerlifter would be in the higher ranges (

As opposed to? Government controlled or moderated media would be devoid of agenda? I also don't see how capitalism is to blame, we are already seeing new social media platforms emerge pandering to the other side of the partisan spectru

Not clear if the author is referring specifically to mail services like gmail here. Full disk encryption would indeed encrypt my email at rest (assuming I'm syncing mail locally on my laptop with FDS turned on).

Don't ssh into containers. Ideally, don't make edits to code(?) on live environments..your other complaints, I dunno? Omit the container builds, push around your jars/bins/wheels/static assets by hand. Don't th

Interesting! Is that a single K8 control plane across one cluster? We've gone with fully isolated clusters across 2 data centers to protect against a network isolation incident between them causing a split brain/borking etcd.

So the tldr is we thought k8 was too complicated so hand rolled out own orchestration tool which is way better...?

Microservices aren't a panacea by any means, but like any tool, they provide certain advantages when dealing with certain use-cases. One thing the article fails to mention are the boat loads of tooling out there to address the failings

Is openSSL? How much domain knowledge should developers be expected to have across the broad array of capabilities modern apps require? Should we be implementing our own tcp stacks? Frameworks catalyse development. It's much easier for
