OLED is quite a difference though.

Fortunately K8s is _not_ a Google owned project. It's managed by the CNCF which spans many different companies. Yes, there are a lot of Google people involved, but it really is a community project. Maybe I'm being naive but that&#

This kind of comment is on every single HN post about Kubernetes and is tiresome. I also think it's off topic (TFA is about kubectl tricks, not about the merits of K8s).

That one has annoyed people for a long time. See https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/issues/48388 . I'm pretty sure if you have the time to make a PR to fix it, it would be welcome. But I'm gues

I think this has become an HN meme at this point. Every mental health post has a reply ala “Just lift bro”.

Has hard work burned anyone else out? I spent my 20s working my ass off as an employee, and while it helped my career a lot, I am completely burned out now. All that creative work and effort which didn't end up amounting to much person

You're right, I misread and her father is indeed a multi millionaire not a billionaire. I can see how the phrase "privileged white male" can be loaded so I probably should have chosen different wording. However it is true in

Very exciting. Linux on an M1 would be my dream laptop. The best Linux laptop experience I had was when when the old MacBook Air worked well with Linux.

That only gets you in the door - it doesn't make you a competent engineer.

Spanner only uses clocks, aka “TrueTime”, for transactions. It uses an estimate of error to basically build in waits into the system so transactions can be globally ordered. The underlying system is all built on Paxos though, which uses log

Never, ever get US citizenship if you plan to live abroad at any point in your life. The US tax regime has become oppressive and punitive for expats. It's a sad state of affairs.

> The US forces you to renounce your citizenship to get out of paying taxes to a country you don't live in. Which you can't even do for the last year+, since all the embassies are closed to renunciations indefinitely.

I guess no one mentioned jsonnet yet, but it's probably the most popular thing in use (along with ksonnet). But really, it's the most awful of the lot - where you have to program using a strange bastardization of JSON (Hello XML n

It's truly an insane decision by the IoC and I'm sure the backlash will hurt the trans community. This is a privileged white male, the son of a billionaire (Dick Hubbard, founder of Hubbard foods) who didn't transition until

I thought Miranda/Haskell were much more in the vein of Lisp/Lambda Calculus than Backus's ideas, which were more radical and not widely adopted to this day [1]. I always thought of Haskell as simply what Lisp would be if it

Valve released Alyx last year, which is really a masterpiece of a game up there with Half life and Portal, and is the only real AAA VR experience that exists. No other big studio would risk building such a VR game due to it still being cons

This is sort of funny to me, since ActiveMQ had this exact problem. A single slow client could break the entire system because the broker would slow down producers to prevent exhausting the queue space. Which was exactly some "weird&qu

Yes, this plagues JDK8+ code. Every fashionable Java coder has to use an overly complex, lazy stream vs a simple loop in every case.

You don't even need a "real workstation". A desktop with a 5 year old (heck, probably even 10 year old) CPU will beat the snot out of any mobile x86 CPU. Intel stagnated mobile performance for a long time, favoring terrible p

This is great, but let's remember a bit of humbleness. It is an incredible luxury to have a full time adult at home like that. And it's no surprise that having a 2:1 child to adult ratio leads to good learning outcomes. I wish all

You're looking at a solid 10-20 hours of hacking stuff together to get a decent working system, and you still won't understand a good 80% of what you copied from various repos. I've been using NixOS for a year now, and I have

As an expat myself with a business, this is true 100%. It has been a complete nightmare for me. GILTI / transition tax was another mess - with exemptions that were lobbied for US based businesses with foreign holdings, while the expat

It's interesting considering other markets where Amazon isn't so dominant. Web novel websites are really popular in Asia for example - the content is completely free to read and anyone can upload a novel. The best novels get ranke

I think it's having to go into a log view that bugs me. I just want to press one button for cherry pick, point it to a ref and be done. It might be possible but I haven't figured out how yet.

There's definitely some aspects of it which I struggle with. Like cherry picking a commit always feels somewhat painful, and I can never remember offhand the exact menus and keys to press to do it. But for day to day development, it&#x
