The legit use case for companies like Google/Amazon etc is only to sell it to customers. None of these companies use K8s internally for real critical workloads.

It would be easy to create a script like that. You'd save quite a significant storage space, especially when you have tables with hundreds of millions of rows. The real problem though is with further migration of your schema down the l

Yes, SSH certificates are the way to go and pretty easy to set up. But what these articles fail to address is the user management aspect. For the SSH certificate to be accepted, the unix user must first be present on the system. As far as I

Search for "Ben Finegold" on YouTube. He has many lectures for beginners and he's one of the funniest GMs. That makes it less boring :)

I haven't met that many bridge architects :D But do they build bridges by themselves? Are bridges built by a one man show? And they don't have rules? And how do they get anything done?

Because we haven't solved the main problem yet, which is to create robust software that does exactly what's supposed to do, no more no less. We have opinions, we have some indications of what may improve software development, but

I am not analyzing the realism of the physics, I'm not qualified for that. Physicists say it's realistic enough and I believe them. But realism in the science aspects of a movie shouldn't be an excuse for a lack of a coherent

This is not related at all to what happened in the movie. We're not talking about experimenting on people (thus causing accidents/deaths/etc) but about withholding new knowledge.

The problem was not Fedora per se, but GNOME and especially Wayland. Wayland is slightly above vaporware and infested with bugs. Had you chosen Fedora with KDE you'd probably have 0 problems. I'm using it without any drama for 11

Incidentally I can't connect to HN directly from Greece, but only if I use my VPN through New York. Probably somehow related?

Kubuntu is, and always has been really bad, as a KDE distro. Just use the Fedora KDE spin. I've been using it for the past 10 years or so.
