And yes, the high level execs do have to shape the culture, but it’s far from the formal “we want things to happen like X” and it’s usually a live/evolving process that happens over years, and it’s usually tailored at org and team leve

Re: definitions are important Yes and no. Some of the biggest conflicts I’ve seen started because of misunderstanding ‘basic words’. So definitions matter in the sense that they help clarify intent. But they also can make things harder if y

For me ‘toxic culture’ means high stress, agressive unwarranted behaviour and dehumanizing the people to justify things.

by mirceal 8y ago
At a big corporation, like Intel, we cannot really talk about just one culture. I would say that your experience can vary quite a lot based on the team you’re in and to a certain degree the org you’re in. Various people assign the ‘toxic’ l

you can actually make it behave like this if you turn off "Search & Siri Suggestions" for each app: https://www.imore.com/how-access-and-use-siri-search-suggest...

I personally turn off all notifications on my iPhone (except for a few select apps) and do not use Siri. I can tell you that the Siri suggestions in Search really annoyed me (usually use search to find... apps, not to be fed all the crap fr

I know. It was mostly venting and pinching myself to ensure this us not a bad dream.

Sure. Not gonna chance the world overnight, but we need to know where North is. Right now I feel like people are questioning the compass and if it really works :(

Yes and no. For me that’s what social security should be about. Instead what? The privilege to take 12 weeks without pay? Fuck that. Look at Europe and the Scandinavian countries if you want to see how it’s done. The US would be in a world

Hmm. It’s breast fed children vs formula fed.

Yes. It’s a private decision that the family makes when the mom has to return to work 2 weeks after giving birth (oh hello unpaid vacation). Fuck this. You, as the government, need to help the people and need to ensure that where matters ar

Hmm. I think the government can step in and properly inform people, subsidize lactation consultants so that everyone can afford them, subsidize breast pumps (how are you gonna feed your baby when you’re at work?) and subsidize breast milk b

by mirceal 8y ago
Bullying is not okay obviously. But people do need to be informed. If breast milk is an option you should take that option. I have actually gone as far as seeing people buy breast milk (legit sources - some sort of breast milk bank) to ensu

So the US started threatening other countries until Russia stepped up? WTF is wrong with the US delegation? You have tens of years of data telling you that breast milk is the best thing for a baby and you go ahead and do shit like this? If

let's agree to disagree on this one. I am not sure that system and application container are or should be different, but it's okay if we have a different opinion.

by mirceal 8y ago
if you’re looking at the kernel features used (namespaces, cgroups, etc) containers are multiprocess (even with docker you can go attach into the container and look at things). This may be semantics, but the first process in the container i

by mirceal 8y ago
This does not make sense. There’s no such thing as a system containter. You can absolutely leverage lxc instead of docker if you want to. The major difference is that docker gives you 1 process by container and has 1) nailed down a containe

A container is not a process. The fact that you say this makes me wonder if you understand what K8s and how it works. K8s is not going to solve the issues you outline above (logs, proper monitoring, etc). Even worse, you’re gonna have a bad

Big fan of playing with new tech. In a safe environment where failure is an option. Don’t go betting the farm on shiny things.

by mirceal 8y ago
Best definition: there is no such thing as a container. When people say container they usually mean a bunch of kernel features (cgroups, namespaces, apparmor, etc) + an overlay filesystem. I played with stuff like this since the chroot jail

Have an upvote. Appreciate the pragmatism :)

by mirceal 8y ago
Not sure I agree. If you need a container to do the things you mention you’re already in a pretty bad shape. Not to mention that a lot of people don’t understand what a container is.

Ha. EKS is a joke. I have written services powered by lambda. As a matter of fact I’ve used AWS/GCP/Azure. I mentioned lambda as an example of a fully managed service - it was not to “endorse” serverless. Also if you look at a co

This may be an unpopular opinion, but I’m not a big fan of containers and K8S. If your app needs a container to run properly, it’s already a mess. While what K8s has done for containers is freaking impressive, to me it does not make a lot o

I would give Musk more credit than this. He obviously knows when the deadlines/targets are unrealistic. I don’t think that’s the point. The point is that he’s pushing really hard to make them realistic. And even if he gets 50% of the w

I look at it this way: before Tesla the electric car was a joke. Now the car industry is slowly rolling out electric cars. If today, Tesla crashes and burns we are still, overall, better than we were if they never existed. I would also argu
