Can't your operating system manage your CPU resources for you already? Why does Kubernetes need to be involved in process scheduling?

Why, by 2030, computers ought to be even slower!

I'm sorry, in what way are modern servers not fast enough to serve a few hundred CRUD requests per second?

Ha! Always end with a joke, I love it.

Surprised nobody went for "dug", à la DigDug.

Except package repositories have maintainers, who tend to be trustworthy parties. Compare the number of supply chain attacks Debian's apt repos have compared to, say, npm.

From where I sit, it's usually the people writing the bugs who are so averse to code reviews.

I didn't read the article, so I too thought the title was something unrelated and ridiculous.

The cheaper alternative is a regular mattress.

by sadops 2y ago
Have you considered talking to people instead of imagining their response? Because regular people seem kind of fed up, and we're still over here cramming insecure computers into everything.

What about programs that run on your computer so you don't even need the Internet for them?

by sadops 2y ago
In what way? Good luck using this thing if the network is down, or if the website is down, or if DNS is down, or if the domain expires, or if the author disappears. A program you download and run is yours forever, a website can disappear to

This only works on Google's OS, Chrome.

by sadops 2y ago
Probably the same features that computers have had since the 1960s, but nobody writes native applications anymore. Guess I'll have to pass on this one. I wish Chrome weren't the only operating system people chose to write software

I'm critiquing their functionality. I know they aren't literally Markov chains... Ask ChatGPT about humor as a tool of criticism.

Fine, I'll say it: this is what ruthless cost-cutting gets us. But it's fine, I'm sure the stock buybacks are going so well for all involved.

Devs don't know how to write software that doesn't immediately balloon to gigabytes of memory use for a "hello, world" application. Seriously, they've just never done it.

Slack was designed to get a fat return for the VCs that funded it. By that measure, it was a success.

Look on the bright side: they'll be practically giving those GPUs away.

I really wish we'd stop anthropomorphizing these things. They're not hallucinating, the program simply returned an error. Remember, y'all, this stuff is just Markov chains with extra steps. An incorrect answer from any other

Creativity and lack of a developer monoculture.

Just don't publish it, and you can kinda do whatever. Remember, just because you build or learn something doesn't mean you have to broadcast it. Edification can be its own reward.

YAML over SSH, primarily.

Pouring out for QA over here. My first gig ever, we had lovely QA people who spent all day just... using the application and trying to make it break. When it did, they'd fail tickets back to us, and we'd fix them. It worked so ama

I think you know what they're arguing. It couldn't be clearer.

Kubernetes is just a poor Linux clone with extra steps. Seriously, it has all the basic parts of an OS, just half-assed: the scheduler, the networking, the state management. We already had way better operating systems that can, you know, sc

This is the elephant in the room: all "new" technology isn't fundamentally new. Terraform is just curl with state management for lots of different websites, Andible is just a YAML to Bash converter, and so on. If you have goo
