Nuclear safety in war time is unproven sure but I would argue that a nuclear power plant is much less dangerous than a hydro dam. Imagine a strike on Three Gorges Dam, at minimum millions would die, without needing to use a nuclear weapon.

I think you (and most people that talk about storage) drastically underestimate the scale of the storage required and just how tight supply is for the resources necessary to build it. For now EVs are going to consume the world's supply

In what ways has nuclear energy failed Germany that don't stem from small scale and lack of investment?

by jpgvm 4y ago
That is just fear mongering. We have no evidence of nuclear being built in-place of cheaper renewables. Until we do it's just FUD.

It's not the only option and it -is- better than coal or gas. Solar, wind, hydro and geothermal are going to be important parts of the mix (perhaps even the dominant parts in many places of the world) but all have unsolved challenges t

It appears to be expensive in the West for now. I'm waiting to see how China's rollout goes before declaring that it's straight up expensive. Even if you buy into crap like Chinese reactors being less safe or more poorly regu

About time. Nuclear is hardly an environmental risk even compared to the "cleaner" fossil fuels like gas. Hopefully this will allow the EU to return to competitive reactors designs instead of leaving China to pull humanities weigh

Not at all. First of all k8s isn't bloated, it's actually surprisingly compact if you think about what you are getting. Second it doesn't imply the product -needs- it. Anything you can run on k8s can be run on bare boxes. Jus

OpenStack had similar levels of contribution at its peak and had much of the same solutions. I'm just guessing the author is newer to the game so might have missed out on 2010-2013 in the infrastructure space. One of the cool things to

All of it responds to your original comment which was your statement that it contributed nothing except padded resumes. I stated several things it contributed -even if you think it's too complex-. If you don't understand why peopl

Not to mention how insanely difficult heterogeneous memory management can get if you start needing coherence and/or relaxed atomics. I have taken multiple swings at getting good at mixed computing and decided in most cases it's be

Just no. Kubernetes has it's roots in Omega which was a research project to explore improvements to Borg. It was created/released as a direct response to increasing lock-in of AWS and Azure PaaS like services that were becoming an

Last 2 seasons of GoT still hurt to think about. It's not the ending that hurts it's how it got there. The last 2 seasons probably should have been 3 full seasons instead of the barely 1.5 we got and had a lot more build up/D

Clean. I love reading nicely commented assembler, something about it just makes my coding brain happy.

99% of people aren't going to use a different CNI plugin to what their managed distribution ships with. Same goes for peeking under the covers of storage plugins, kubelet config, etc. You pay AWS/GCP for that these days and just u

I know, we have seen insane developer inflation the last 10 years. The bar is generally just a lot lower now across the board. We have people with the title "Senior Engineer" that still regularly need mentorship and peer-programmi

You don't run your own registry (except in very rare circumstances where that makes sense). You author Dockerfile (or better yet use a tool like jib that creates containers automatically without even a Docker daemon), then you push to

So what you are saying is everything worked? That sounds like k8s did its job. You aren't meant to fully understand it in a week, anymore than you are expected to fully understand all of sysadmin in a week. Just because you don't

There isn't the political will-power to make it happen and force all the browser vendors to agree and implement. Hence status-quo remains.

Have you made a good faith attempt to use k8s? Or are you just regurgitating how hard it is to use based on what you hear on the Internet? My experience is even mediocre engineers are capable of understanding k8s concepts with minimal assis

It's really not unless you are doing a half-assed job of setting up bare boxes. Lets see to get something even half-reasonable on a bare box you need the minimum: process monitor: For this you can use systemd, supervisord, etc. logging

This is a common misconception. k8s isn't about scale, multi-node or even reliability/resiliency. We had solutions for all of that before it came along. It's about having a standard API for deployment artifacts. The k8s manif

I think this has been a huge failing of our industry of late. The rise of the "fullstack developer" has mostly reduced quality across the board. When you hire a "fullstack developer with 5 years experience" you aren&#x27

I disagree. K8s signals the team values infra and sees it as an important part of delivering their product. It's an investment like any other and for some teams it makes sense to set infra on a solid path sooner rather than later. You

The argument is a ton weaker in the frontend space. Even if you got into React early and stayed there there has been numerous upheavals in "the correct way to do react" from class style to functional style and a ton of different w

Eh. I think that is pretty weak. 99.99% of that list is infra stuff, not directly related to backend developmnent. Assuming your infra already worked for you and you were wring Java + Spring at most you might have migrated to Kotlin + Sprin

For a second there I thought you were talking about EDS. Wouldn't surprise me if it was some other HP acquisition though.

Sorry to disappoint but I think Jenkins will be here far beyond 2025. However on the topic of real-time integration that is somewhat already here for no-code systems that are already divorced from traditional version control.
