Some parts of Kubernetes are perhaps unnecessary complex and we should keep our eyes open for alternatives and learn from different approaches, but deploying to Kubernetes really does not have to be that difficult unless you make it so. Pla

Docker, as the most used container tool, became a utility and hence it is expected to be free and unencumbered so it remains a helpful tool instead of a hindrance and liability to daily development for – well, perhaps the majority of develo

Finland with its cold winters doesn't exactly have a lot of sunlight and it knows better than to depend on Russia for energy, so at this point geographical reality is that nuclear power really seems the best option.

Having worked with DC, Marc21 and some of its precursors, I feel that one major problem with the approach is that cataloguers try to infinitely cut up metadata into ever smaller pieces until you end up with a impossible large collection of

Once again, we found a way to get rid of those we don't like by censoring them completely based on any utterance of a Topic or Viewpoint That Can Not Be Expressed Out Loud. Any open discussion or criticism on any sensitive topic could

Assuming Youtube video IDs are unique even in the case of removal, we could just create a URN space for Youtube, say urn:google:youtube:<video id>. Another option would be a content-bassed hash, but that would make quality variations

This is a typical old world vs new world vulnerability. Old tools have lots of hacker features that are often not a good idea anymore in this (century's) world. See also cryptographic agility and such. The Unix philosophy of combining

Good point. It is a bad idea to set up something as lasting as email addresses with a somewhat proprietary solution by two commercial entities and stray from pure standards. Temporary convenience turning into long term lock-in is a poorly u

Working out too hard, i.e. anaerobically such as running or anything that gets you out of breath, can trigger hunger if you're not adapted to that level of exercise. It puts your body in high alert mode and you will have to balance out

I've hosted my own email server for years; I coincidentally shut it down yesterday. Once you've got it set up properly, deliverability is quite good. The main problem is having to monitor blacklists, spam and account brute-force a

I think that gap has more to do with manpower/funding than a lack of genuine desire on Jollas part to make those features work. I still don't understand why it's so hard for there to be a market for alternatives to iOS and An

If I am the main developer on a three year project, I use whatever editor, command-line tools and custom scripts I need to get the job done. The whole project, from code to ops, architecture, security and documentation, is in my head. Howev

There's some pain in writing generic data structure algorithms for sure. It would have been an interesting experiment though if the Go authors would have tried to improve the tooling around code generation and making it easier to use,

That's the traditional experience vs. money trade-off. It seems people at a larger stage in life are happier about experiences they've had rather than money or status per se. Though if you really want to travel or raise a happy fa

Same story here. I think I had IPv6 around 2000 with HE and then SIXXS, and my university back then already assigned IPv6 addresses. Now in 2021, I don't think I have had an IPv6 address assigned either at home or at work for quite som

It's perfectly possible, laudable even, to read things with a healthy dose of salt and still expand your understanding. I think this document gives a good general overview, often missing in the fast-paced, crowded and noisy Kubernetes

Default LaTeX fonts give me a nasty uncomfortable feeling in the stomach by reminding me of Math and CS tests. I'm not generally sensitive, so it's somewhat amusing a font can have such emotional impact. As a typeface aficionado I

Because Debian sort of maintains their own "pinned" versions between upstream and you, you basically get Debian's version possibly with their own patches and fixes; whereas Arch just directly gives you upstream, compiled for

You're not wrong, but commercial entities also go bankrupt, stop funding projects or take care of code quality just enough to be able to sell a product and get the money. Clearly unpaid volunteers seem to be a successful alternative to

You have pushed your body to do something it wasn't designed to do, and over time, you broke it. It's very hard to get back. You could have chosen another profession, but perhaps you'd have trouble with your knees then. I had
