This is an amazing read, really helped me understand k8s networking better. 10/10.

No, it would not. You are implying that 'modern' is inherently good.

For security (or anything else really), you can ask the LLMs to implement those features, but it is up to you to verify that they are implemented correctly. The OWASP Top 10 are a good place to start. Don't just trust it. I've don

This quote feels more relevant than ever: > Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish, and you feed him for a lifetime. Or in the context of AI: > Give a man code, and you help him for a day. Teach a man to co

As the son of a mechanic, I was explicitly barred from becoming a mechanic. The hours can be long, but they are more inconsistent than anything. In the summer it's hot and even hotter under engine bays, in the winter it's cold and

A Mac dev type using a 5-year-old machine, I will believe it when I see it. I know a few older Macs still kicking around, but those people use them for basic stuff, not actual work. Mac people jump to new models faster than Taco Bell leaves

I worked as an Engine Machinist for a time, and I was told that lead in the fuel aided in sealing the valves, kept valves cooler by helping seal the valve, possibly acting as an impact damper, prevented valves from sticking to the seat and

AD/Entra is pretty good in my experience working with it. Self-hosting Entra is basically running a Windows Server + Domain Controller, or one of the alternatives you mentioned. Not something I would typically recommend to a customer u

Nope! The hype train has left the station! WOOOOO WOOOO! Seriously, I completely agree with you.

To me the solution is: Ban homework. All projects, essays, tests, etc are done at school on air-gapped machines or written by hand. Work is monitored by the teacher with video surveillance in 'test halls'. Cell phones can be kept

This page is 5.0kb and only has 6 other assets. those assets, after being cached, means you get a page load in less than 1 second. Every. Single. Time. This page would load well on a dial-up connection from the 90's.

Mecrosuft locked the thread. Classic. I will say that as a Windows Administrator, the overall quality of the OS has fallen, and more attention is put into 'features' compared to performance, reliability, etc. I shouldn't have

This is a fun thought exercise. Pen and paper only? Lock them in a faraday cage to keep RF from going in or out? RF jamming? In-person testing only. No devices, period. Supply hearing aids, glasses and even clothing if you have to. AI syste

Finally, a life-sized RC car. In my opinion, fast swappable batteries were always the best way to do an electric car. Comes with its own set of problems, but the approach would make electric cars cheaper... possibly no charging circuits, b

I used to be a machinist and had tech as a hobby. Eventually I got good enough at tech and now I have machining and mechanical things as a hobby. Hobbies are just jobs you don't get paid for. Focus on acquiring skills and enjoying it.

My guess is that the bulk of the noise is the HVAC systems that either cycle air in and out of the buildings and/or AC compressors / condenser fans. Building a wall seems like good faith but it's like a cubicle wall in an ope

Low volume stuff, single digits of parts, unless I find that niche, and i might outsource then. I'll keep the send-cut-send type stuff in mind. There are variations to certain parts that I'd like to iterate on, for example, intake

I do repair and modernizing of cars/motorcycles/dirtbike/ATVs, that kind of stuff. Fuel injection conversions are something I specialize in. That is why I would like durable/resistant materials as an option. I won't

The majority of the public school system has devolved into day-care, not education. Most parents just watch TV, stare at their phones and don't want to be bothered by anything that requires effort. A major societal shift needs to happe

imo, really depends on what you're doing, what your team's skills are, growth trajectory, money, etc. if you need to scale a ton of compute up and down, k8s might be a good fit, but for most startups, it's using a sledgehamme

I want to agree with you that the "corvette absolves a lot of sins". But GM is still operating like they are "too big to fail", I hope we don't bail them out again. They make some amazing products and have a long hi
