And unfortunately too many news outlets are reporting whatever Pfizer says as if it were the CDC or impartial scientists when that clearly is not the case. Pfizer worked on boosters before the emergence of the Delta virus and already starte

I can't realistically imagine the FBOs (fuel providers) at many airports providing a type of fuel only approved for C172s with Lycoming engines. I fly out of Boeing Field (KBFI). Often the FBOs have issues with their fuel trucks or sim

My bad. I was tired when I skimmed the article and OP's comment wasn't quoted. Still, I find that statement very surprising.

I'm seeing a lot of responses from fellow folks in the US that seem to imply this EU (proposed?) regulation is unprecedented in the US. Is that actually so?

In Germany everyone drives above 130km/h (~80mph) on the sections of the Autobahn that do not have speed limits. When I was 18 I always floored my crappy very old Ford Fiesta going around 158 km/h (on a good day, downhill and prob

Migration from Lotus Notes is always horrible. In 2011 I worked on many migrations to Google Apps for Business (GSuite, Google for Work etc) and there was only one person in all of Google who understood Lotus Notes and could maintain the mi

You joke, but have you looked at K8s VirtualCluster? Separate control planes for each tenant within a K8s cluster. https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/cluster-api-provider-nest...

Take a look at this minimal example I just created where I did just that -- created a new function and docstring. This example is of course super simple - it works for much more complex things. https://gist.github.com/berndv

It usually suggests blocks within a function / method in my experience. Here's an example I created just now: https://gist.github.com/berndverst/1db9bae37f3c809e5c3f56262...

This is not true - and I've been using copilot for many months :) It suggests entire blocks of code - but not in every context.

It does actually suggest entire blocks of code. I haven't quite figured out yet when it suggests blocks or lines - if I create a new function / method and add a doc string it definitely suggests a block for the entire implementati

I have been using this - for example working in Go on Dapr (dapr.io) or in Python on one of its SDKs. I love it. So often the code suggestions accurately anticipate what I planned to do next. It's especially fun to write a comment or d

No, you don't have to sign in with an Apple ID, but the O/S certainly strongly encourages you to do so upon installation (or first boot of a new Mac)

I assume they are making it a federal holiday not unlike Columbus Day or Veterans Day. If you work in the private sector the chance you have those days off is fairly low. [Edit: I am not saying that Juneteeth won't get special treatmen

I agree. For anything sophisticated you have to use the Kubernetes Python client combined with the KFP DSL. The compiled Argo Workflow spec can become such a mess that you quickly run into a size limitations -- especially if you choose to d

by verst 5y ago
Out of curiosity, was Kubeflow ever considered and was there a deliberate decision against Kubeflow? Kubeflow Pipelines under the hood (and not very hidden) uses Argo Workflows.

As a German living outside of Germany for 15 years I have an interesting perspective on this: The rule-following in a work setting is all about risk mitigation and rules tend to help with that. Similarly for following established processes.

Same in Germany. I never considered magnet fishing growing up there and now I remember why: it was super common for WW2 explosives to be found that didn't explode on impact but had corroded over time.

Re Azure, what makes you say that? Can you be specific?

In the Northwest of Germany the default is either 200ml or 300ml (the latter being approximately the size of a typical bottle of beer). For Pilsener a big beer is 400ml. For Hefeweizen a big beer is usually 500ml. In the Northwest you won&#

1 standard drink. Did you know that a US standard drink for beer is 12 ounces (a pint is 16) at 5% alcohol by volume? In the PNW Pints Are the standard size and definitely stronger than 5%. Also the German standard drink size for beer is le
