I understand your point -- is my complaint about kubernetes itself or just the way that people at my job set it up? But in practice perhaps my feeling is that if a tool/ecosystem has too many viable/competing ways to do things and

I feel like I was lied to about what kubernetes is and comics like this sorta partake in it. The sales pitch is basically akin to "mongo is webscale" but "kubernetes is scaling/portability/reproducability." May

Well for all the whinging about how biased-to-the-left universities are, it sure seems ironic that the only colleges that explicitly banning attendance over different opinions are colleges on the right. If somebody complains persistently ab

I've been doing it for ~20 years off-and-on. Initially I thought I'd find an audience/community that resonated, but never did. So no. My experience has been that I have to post to HN about 6 times to have a shot at making fro

I don't think you're discussing in good faith. I doubt you're truly unaware that everybody saying woke in 2025 unironically is angry and making an insult. I also don't believe you could read this comment section and thin

by zug_zug 2y ago
I think it's okay to refer to the word "woke", but if you use it more than 3 times in your writing, then it's hard to take you seriously. Why? Because it's a word that gets people emotional. Getting people emotional

Yeah, that's where he lost me too. I get the impression that in his head the firing of a college president is a bigger problem than racism.... like bro 24% of the world lives in a caste system. I don't know if human kind will ever

Spending too much time in the richest, most tolerant counties in the country can make you forget that we still have colleges that won't admit gay students, or that many people still don't believe in interracial marriage. Yes it&#x

I don't usually love this type of post, but this one is the exception - very valuable. Just the section on how to rewrite alone communicates something incredibly valuable that grumpy-engineers like myself have great trouble getting oth

I'm not sure why this isn't considered anti-competitive behavior. Once a communication company has 1-billion users perhaps we need to classify them as a more of a utility and hold them to stricter standards of openness.

I'm not asking for a philosophical proof of which terms are or aren't bad. I am proposing that rather than taking every single complaint seriously that we try to set some basic structure or benchmark. I perceive that the current s

Well I think you addressed the simplest case, which wasn't really the situation here (nor in the meme). I think if somebody directly offends you by calling you something you don't like, then from first-principles, it does seem lik

This blog piece perfectly encapsulates an interesting discussion we are having as a society - "Do we need to care if a word has a hurtful etymology (if nobody using it nowadays knows that history)?" Taking it out of the superheate

Yeah that's a problem -- Here's my law for honest leveling - If somebody of a given level is incapable of doing something of the level below them, then your leveling system is broken (and they should be in a separate track). Basic

So what if your dad died last month, and the DM decides it'll be a cool twist for his BBEG to abduct your character's dad gouge his eyes out and try to kill him? It's good to be able to explain these things, and IMO a lot of

Yeah I agree. To me the "If you know you know" mentality is a negative signal about something, suggesting that something is possibly seen as cool/trendy (which is a negative signal against being the most practical/utilit

Unclear doesn't mean safe, it just means hard to quantify. Your child could be in a car accident and their survival odds could be unclear, scientifically speaking. Doesn't mean "totally safe."
