At the risk of self-promotion :). https://medium.com/google-cloud/understanding-kubernetes-net... This is the first of a two-part series, the first dealing with pod networking and the second with services. I plan a thi

I bought my kids a couple of HP laptops back in the day. First step was always a reformat. But back then I had an MSDN account and the wherewithal to set the machines up the way I wanted, which many people do not. For myself I have not boug

People who haven't used it need to start somewhere, and the author specifically says why panes were not addressed. "Useless" is a pretty harsh write-off.

As a system76 gazelle owner I agree with this. Nice display, great job on the drivers and system software, horrible build quality on the case, terrible keyboard, terrible fit around the trackpad, worst trackpad buttons I've ever seen.

I agree and I _almost_ didn't buy the 4k panel, but as I noted in my comment above my first Dell panel lasted 12 years, and that's a long time.

Have the same monitor, it's my third Dell monitor since I bought my 2405fpw back in 2005. I've always gotten excellent performance from them and the 2405 lasted 12 years. The 4k resolution and scaling can cause issues with some ap

Isn't Amazon also AWS' largest customer, followed by Netflix? And I don't know much about Azure but I wouldn't doubt Microsoft is their largest customer too. I don't know, this whole piece seems more like Cringely n

Agreed that boat wasn't loaded down to that waterline, no way, and anyway the curve is all wrong. The beaching explanation seems reasonable but its also hard to credit that these two beached a 50' boat and got it off again. I&#x27

Can anyone who has done it both ways characterize the tradeoffs vs. using amqp (say, rabbit) as the bus? I've been excited about this feature in redis, and this is a very interesting use case for it, but when I read the part toward the

Came here to post this. I guess the author never read the Torvalds-Tanenbaum debate :).

So here's the basic problem with your attitude: it proceeds from comprehending only your half of a fundamental equation. You feel no responsibility toward those less fortunate than yourself, but at the same time you expect them to feel

There are not many things I am 100% confident of, but my confidence level is high in this area because it's happened plenty of times in 25 years. I like to work for small companies because I value the flexibility, autonomy, camaraderie

I think the short answer here, or the inverse of the answer :), is that you begin to become irrelevant when engineering stops being the thing you like to do. I don't think you can force yourself to remain a valuable engineer if you don

For me, growing up an avid fan of these books in the early 70's, it was the paintings of the brothers Hildebrand (that is how they signed their work) that perfectly captured what I felt was the atmosphere of the tale.

This is a nice piece of work. I don't trade stocks, so I don't screen them and can't speak to the market niche aspects other commenters have addressed but I'm impressed anyway :).

It's a nit I guess but I feel like RAII is a pattern, not a feature of the language. Haven't done C++ in years but as I recall it doesn't have anything like python's with or finally blocks, which would both serve the pur

I don't understand why it would be "embarrassing?" Python was designed to have certain characteristics and it has pretty obviously succeeded in terms of implementing design features that attracted a large number of users and

Clickbait headline? Debugging and diagnosing production errors may take more time than we want it to, but it is hardly a waste. Quite the opposite, actually. Locating and fixing errors is an essential part of what it means to be a software

We use gitlab's built-in runners and pipelines for continuous deployment to kubernetes and it works very well. We self-host our repos but the same tools are available through the hosted version.
