You say this is unprecedented times. But correct me if I am wrong. The government has always given non government institutions access to government facilities and data. Some are even in charge or running infrastructure and providing softwa

If you used it you should know how last minute crappy it is. Whoever is running Apple now has really dropped the ball. Maybe the ghost of Jobs had found pease and left. They being said I think tech in general is failing. We see it at Google

Yah. It might write a better TL;DR, but it will always be a tool engineers use. AI is a bubble if you consider the end goal of AI to be a 1:1 replacement for humans. AI is not a bubble if consider the more likely end goal of AI being just a

I thought it was less about the data and more about the control China had on what Americans saw, and how that could influence Americans. If China could effectively influence the American populations opinions, how would that not be bad?

If this was true salesforce is in more trouble than any engineer. Why? Because if AI is really all that then entire companies like sales force go away. All the customers who use sales force would need to do is hire one of these laid off e

So the threat of violence against a non violent protest resulted in the non violent protestors being labeled terrorist and justified all the action that followed?

Are Japan and Korea not both high life expectancy but low birth rate. Along with a by other developed countries birth rates dropping while life expectancy is increasing?
131.
by mbrumlow 2y ago
A thought. What if we have judged the healthiest of a society on the wrong metrics. And the right one is birth rate? We might say things are bad for a society if it’s too dangerous or not enough food so the birth rate goes to near zero and

My grandfather was a radar operator in WW2, on a ship that was hit and damaged by opposing forces. He told me stories of how they would make barges that would float off the side of the ship, where sailors would go to drink torpedo juice. He

I am so glad for this post. I thought all my recent YouTube issues were maybe related to a hardware problem, and or Linux kernel update. It’s a hard problem to solve, that is to incentivize YouTube to care about Firefox even if Google had n

No. I am saying that companies should have their engineers understand why k8s works and make those reasons an engineering practice. As it is today the pattern is spend a ton of money moving to k8s (mostly costly managed solutions) in the pr

by mbrumlow 2y ago
The thing that the k8s api does is force you to do good practices, that is it.

by mbrumlow 2y ago
Most of the complaints in this fun post are just bad practice, and really nothing to do with “making a Kubernetes”. Sans bad engineering practices, if you built a system that did the same things as kubernetes I would have no problem with it

Is every file a s3 object? What if you change the middle of a large file?

by mbrumlow 2y ago
Yes. Because it lowers the chance compound risk. The longer you go without stressing the system the more likely you will have a double failure, thus increasing your outage duration. Simply put. You don’t want to delay funding out something

This. I can’t tell you the I bet of times things worked because the cache was hot. And a restart or cache invalidation would actually cause an outage. Caches must be invalidated at a regular interval. Any system that does not do this is he

by mbrumlow 2y ago
These are the very arguments I get all the time. 1) I want to invalidate caches, I want to know that these systems work. I want to know that my software properly handles this situation. 2) if I have lazy clients. I want to know. And I want

Idk. I feel like the second you need to use a debugger your code and design has become too complicated and needs to be rethought. In general anything you would want to debug should probably be exposed as a unit test and the area of concern

To even this out I got about as many but for democrats. I think calling out the party says more about you than the practice. My guess is they are all scams. I get the same 500x match to beat Trump 10 or more times a day.

It’s not the hard. Put your stupid quote away and use your brain. Warrantees are designed to instill confidence. It’s a product differentiation add on. Our cars are so good we will guarantee it with fixing anything that breaks within a spec
