It is also questionable whether the newsroom @ NYT, WSJ give much quality to begin with. That being said, there is value depending on what topics you're interested in. The value of NYT for me is the Arts & culture section. But I&#x

Not much said on the category of bugs caught by Typescript. That would have been an interesting discussion. I dip between javascript and typescript and hesitate recommending it for large scale project for a large team as much as I would lik

Haven't test the tool yet. Neither do I know how close the behaviour of the pipeline locally will differ on the server. Saying that, pipeline test tools are very much needed. Making commits and refreshing a UI is not practical. I can t

If your assumptions of a system fail on a single box they will fail more dramatically when they are distributed. If your system is designed such that it can't be executed on a single box then you're setting yourself up for a world

The main takeaway for me is clean modularity in a system with strong decoupling, the modules can be in a single application boundary (a monolith) or across multiple (services or microservices). The design challenge becomes making sure that

I see a lot of comments mentioning scale, and dedicated SRE teams and IaaC and thought this might be helpful. I believe distinguishing the engineering from the engineer in SRE is important. The engineering side is essential but a dedicated

I'm fairly sure the SRE books by Google don't mention kubernetes once, since it's a technology agnostic set of practices [1]. I would also say that the practices are independent of scale. Google didn't necessarily invent

To second another comment. You have the domain knowledge so that is a valuable place to start. Build the applications in that domain you have experience in, on different tech stacks as side projects to demonstrate the competency. Ultimately

It's a fair comment but you have to admit that the javascript world presents a set of problems that go way beyond the language itself. The problems are different in backend development and in a way they feel a bit more contained. In th

The k8s project did this very well in the early days with their design docs. It made the codebase much more accessible than it ordinarily should have been. There are few projects that do this and I wish the JavaScript projects did this a lo

Of course not. They're probably just going to wait until this blows over and get back to business as usual. The way it's panning out now they probably won't go down the regulatory route. They already have levers that they can

This is unlikely. The regulators are on the side of the financial institutions since the unusual activity is coming from retail traders. The NASDAQ CEO, Anna Friedman has already said they will stop trading on a stock if they match chatter

This is so true. It's all connected. It's probable that Reddit, Discord, RobinHood have all received calls to disrupt retail traders from political players or financial backers. There's no evidence of this, the truth is we&#

There's is definitely chatter in the finance community to regulate this kind of behaviour to prevent it from happening again. They're all bad faith arguments which have ranged from collusive behaviour being insider trading (even t

The agency president tweeted in now-deleted tweets that Colleen was fired for using conservative platforms and that they do not condone this activity. Followed by an apology for any offence caused. If there was further evidence she did not

I admit that Nomad is a fair middle ground due to its clean DSL and also because of the homogeneity of their workloads. The team at OpenAI used the k8s api to make extensions around multi-tenancy (across teams) to saturate available allocat

A lot of people being the media in the US that pushes the narrative to the extreme. You could make the argument ( perhaps weakly for Parler now) that they are right leaning social platforms that contain extremes. The same way Twitter is lef

It maybe an HPC problem but I'm not sure the available solutions come close to k8s in terms of functionality and I'm not talking about scheduling. I used to work in HPC/Grid but it's been a while but I do remember Condor

I certainly agree that it doesn't hold up to scrutiny. To suggest that setting up a honeypot to have fringe elements actively expose their views in what they deem as a safe environment is not outside of what security agency may do is a

The problem isn't with TBL but the team of engineers and their leadership implementing the system and that they're doing this within government. I don't think there's been a successful large scale IT project in the NHS&#

I think what you're referring to is conscientiousness, the ability to stick to a task to completion regardless of how exciting it is. So you can get people with higher intelligence and low conscientiousness being overtaken by less smar

I'm not sure that american views are being imposed on US (I'm in the UK). Rather they are being adopted by us without criticism. This makes conversation about race a confused jumbled incoherent mess. The bigger problem as I see it

I'm not sure how I feel about any of this. China is a legitimate security concern. The practices of that government has always been predatory around I.P and privacy. But the US government has been very thin on details on how serious th

Season 1 was fantastic. Season 2 was meh. I would have been surprised if there was a third, not only because S2 was lacklustre but because Netflix is known to cancel after 2 seasons from a cost perspective. It turns out they don't do S

You raise a good point on the chicken and egg scenario of having the K8S cluster created in AWS creating other AWS resources. Rebuilding everything from scratch will take a lot longer since you can't build concurrently. The advantages
