Nobody owes you free labor, but it's a world of uncertainty. People don't like uncertainty. Will this labor be priced reasonably, at around the same level that I value it, or will they pull a vmware and ask for my first born?

Exactly. And I did a poor job of mentioning this in my previous message. But that perspective comes from trying to rely on Kompose to migrate my apps over to Kubernetes for me, and then falling utterly short in every aspect that makes Kuber

It's possible that those platform engineers did a poor job exposing kubernetes to the developers, in the anecdotes you've mentioned. But there is a LOT more being instrumented in an effective deployment platform than just deployin

On the subject of Kompose, frankly, I think a person looking to get into Kubernetes either knows how to convert what is essentially a docker-compose file to kubernetes manifests themselves, or they're going to struggle working with kub

Yeah, the way I read it, it boils down to "I worked on Docker. Kubernetes is great but too complex for developers to actually use." Which yes, is something that everyone who isn't fooling themselves has been saying since its

Kubernetes isn't the platform. It's an extremely complex platform that enables better (meaning "more purpose built and friendlier to use") platforms to be built on top of it. Kubernetes is a big box of tools. You can eit

I imagine there's some amount of conditioning (for lack of a better word), and some amount of how well the meme author annotated it. Mostly just postulating, with a small amount of experience having been an assistant to a blind person

Doesn't seem like it should be all that complex to me assuming the crawler is written in a common programming language. It's a pretty common coding pattern for functions that make HTTP requests to set a timeout for requests made b

Curious what efficiency improvements are enabled by standardizing on married surnames. Maybe nurses at hospitals never need to request to see your marriage license if you have the same surname? And besides that...? This is coming from a som

That's fair. I guess if you just need a VPN, it doesn't really make sense to consider a product that packs all of these VPN-adjacent features. But part of my point was how much you're able to do on Tailscale for free, so in t

I renew some of my LetsEncrypt certificates monthly, which should be plenty, in my opinion. Gets you about 2 buffer cycles to notice the certificate isn't updating and recognize an issue in your automation.

I'm really interested in what you're comparing Tailscale to internally, because it does way more than just VPN. What are the cheaper options, and do they also have an SSH feature, oauth authentication to the network for automation

Ah, well I guess it just comes down to one's ability to read between lines, I guess. More specifically, the ability to read for the writer's intent rather than what is plainly there. I was just trying to come up for a nicer explan

It seems like it's maybe obvious what they were getting across to medical layman like you and me. Seems like it's less obvious to people that are a bit more in the know on medical jargon.

Ah then I was very wrong, you are in fact a bit older than me :) Thanks for teaching me a new thing about life outside of the US. Out here, cell data plans (which is the budget that sending/receiving MMS would eat into) were relatively

That might be it then. I'm around your age from the US, and the cell phone plans I grew up with were not prohibitively expensive, even for my somewhat modest household.

Do you get the impression that anyone here is masquerading anecdotes in this conversation, or are you speaking generally? Because I disclaimed my whole parent comment with, "I can only speak anecdotally..."

I have not tried it, sorry. Unfortunately I only started trying to do something about my sleep issues recently, and so Trazadone was the first thing my doctor prescribed so far. Previously I just worked around them by getting night shift jo

I take an edible that advertises it came from an Indica strain, where I take it in a dose of 20mg of THC and 10mg CBN. It costs me around $150/month, which I suppose it depends if you consider that a large amount of money. It's no

I don't know what you were prescribed, but for me, smoking and vaping doesn't have the same effect. Edibles, and in particular I take ones that use Indica strains with some CBD, do the magic for me. And it took me a bit of experim

It is legal where I am, and I do relish the privilege. I truly hope decision makers pay attention and make it universally legal.

Agree about the moderation. The downside of the edibles is that after a month or two, I start needing more. When this happens I abstain and go back to my prescribed medicine for 2-3 weeks, and then continue back with the dosage that I allow

It sounds like what it's intending to get across is that there are market conditions that lead to a product taking off, and market conditions by nature change, which means a product taking off today doesn't necessarily mean that t

To be clear, I'm referring to your pattern displayed in this thread of aggressively taking words outside of context, and not doing a bare minimum effort to try to find reasonable context for them. In this case, it was probably not wort
