I hope this made the author feel better, because otherwise I don't think it did him any good.

They're not talking about that because it's not relevant here. People are reacting to the action he took. The basis for it and the underlying legal structures are a different, or at least tangential conversation. If the house is o

I wrote code on a teletype connected to an HP3000 in the mid-70's, so its always a kick to see that technology mentioned here. Especially when it's described as "really old" which obviously it, and I, are :).

I think it's much easier to get elected than to move the whole government in the directions you've promised to move it during the campaign. This has been demonstrated over and over again. Power is quite distributed in the U.S. pol

But of course none of those things are going to happen, because Congress doesn't want them and the President doesn't pass laws. Congress also doesn't want a moratorium on federal hires, tariffs to shore up American manufactur

This is a good answer. It boils down to what you're paying for. My dad was a suspension and steering engineer at General Motors years ago, and he impressed upon me the number of evolutions these designs go through. The current shape of

Agreed as well. I'd love to see a demo of it in action but I am not willing to create an account just to see if I might want to create an account. The idea of a conversation tree is intriguing, but I think the complexity and comprehens

I don't get the connection. Google's cloud doesn't suffer from more or less lock-in opportunities than AWS for example. Messaging is just a mess. The cloud platform market is quite a different thing.

I don't have any inside knowledge but it probably didn't take that much to _create_ the product. They're getting rid of 50 positions described as mostly business and sales, so they obviously have built up some costs around pu

For various reasons I didn't read as many books in 2016 as I normally do, but "Flash Boys" by Michael Lewis was a standout.

Agreed, got my current remote gig through an HN "Who's Hiring" post.

Leeerooooy Jenkins! Seriously, this has been going on forever, and the number one rule of trolls (and griefers are just trolls, as the piece points out) is don't give them attention or the reaction they're looking for, and they go

OpenVPN is pretty slick for point-to-point connections into a cloud environment. We run the server side in a docker container on kubernetes and push the cluster services network routes as dhcp options to clients, so developers can work loca

I think I'm just going to enjoy it and do my best not to count the number of hours in it. I imagine I'll probably get some stuff done though.

I agree that persistence in k8s is tricky, especially at scale, but at least in our case that doesn't drive us way from the platform. Kube is awesome for services, and if we have to keep a few things on gcloud instances bolted to relia

Well that's sort of like asking me what is good about pizza, or why I like a certain song, but anyway... I find it impressive that using only a couple of forklifts and a drop hammer they were able to forge a part of that size and shape

Ha yeah obviously the work yard of a foundry or metal shop of some kind. Still a damn impressive display of drop forging.

Thanks, that makes sense. I always thought of the pause container as "being" the pod in the networking sense, so if the pod sandbox simply replaces that I guess they could have just called it a pod.

Absolutely agree with this. Now I need to figure out for myself how this fits in with or contrasts with runc.

It's really cool to see this stuff emerging, and the CoreOS folks put out some good info at kubecon. We're currently running k8s on the docker engine like probably just about everyone, but for the same reasons as just about everyo

Yep same here, that's one of the things we need to improve on to get our deploy times down.

Yes, circle provides the build container and docker, and our scripts install gcloud and kubectl and authorize a service account that can push to the associated project image repository.

by markbnj 10y ago
We use CircleCI. The build container is provisioned with docker/gcloud/kubectl. The repo webhook fires on commit, the image is built, a test entrypoint is executed on the image to run tests. If the tests pass the image is pushed t

That's certainly true for new construction, so I should probably qualify that I live in the northeast, where totally new roads are very rare, and almost all of our roads evolved from much earlier thoroughfares. The reality in other par

Perhaps you should ask your local roads department how they decide where to put traffic control structures before talking about lying :).

I often remarked in the same vein to my daughters as they were growing up and learning to drive. Everywhere you encounter a stop sign, a light, etc., is a place where people were badly injured or killed on multiple occasions. That stuff is

I'm a cheater too. I confess to using Google, Stackoverflow, Hacker News, and tons of other online resources to look up stuff every day. This is obviously stuff I should know already, and be able to recall on-demand. I'm so ashame

The API refers to these objects as secrets. How does it improve understanding to pick some other name because you feel the current one is undeserved? I'm not disagreeing with that assessment, but it seems odd to just refuse to use it a

I've got a recently purchased System 76 Gazelle. I'd like to say nice things about it. It has good system software, and not a bad display. That's about it. The case build quality is way below what it needs to be at the price

Exactly. I make a habit of chatting up the Uber drivers I ride with, and I haven't heard many complaints. Far more typical is the guy who picked me up in Seattle yesterday after a great week at Kubecon. He's retired after 22 years
