Trees shouldn't be planted on this scale. The land should be left idle, and nature will take its course, sprouting species that thrive in local conditions, i.e. the soil type and microclimate. They might be planting "local, mainly

I much prefer the display on my t470s to my macbook pro retina (albeit from 2012). Same "retina" resolution, but the matte display makes reading text a pleasure.

I think they did. We talk of the 20's, 30s, right up to 90s, but not of the decades 1900-1909 and 1910-19. Having said that, up til around then, times were grouped by the reigning monarch, at least in Britain: Georgian, Victorian, then

Personally, I find the Dutch diet to be pretty unadventurous and poor. Sandwiches predominate, with not a lot of variety in cooking. This may well be irrelevant to the OP; nothing but cheese sandwiches and sour buttermilk may well be the pe

Why would cash being invested "cause high inflation"? Inflation depends on a number factors, whether it be productivity, supply, unemployment, etc, or how that cash is being spent. If it's being invested, who's to say it

I reckon it's a pithy statement the finance news is prone to making, and requires further elaboration. It's clear to us all when one says there is a bubble in housing, but this doesn't make much sense, and may well on further

The industry was pretty regional back then, which may make for a fuzzier historical record. U.S. insularity means some histories neglect this, and assume what's true for the U.S. held true elsewhere (which is a safer assumption today).

Can't counter these points other than that what else is there to automate AWS infrastructure? Terraform suffers all these problems, too.

This is effectively the 'dry-run' feature that has been sought for a long long time [1], and led me to switch to Terraform (which does do this amongst other key differences) . Why did it take so damn long to implement? I do apprec

I gave up on SDNs and fell back to doing what anyone does without an SDN: published ports to the host interface and advertised the endpoint <host_ip>:<container_port> to etcd. Note this wasn't with kubernetes but with a sim

Flannel relies on etcd. I had stability issues with v1 of etcd which meant flannel couldn't route packets. Since then, the idea of using an immature SDN atop an immature distributed key value store fills me with dread.
