I seriously wonder what HN thinks is a valid business model for writing open source software. Everyone here seems to insinuate that people want to create a business and use open so…

Why do tech companies keep using dystopian stories as manuals? The flirty tone, the voice being awfully similar to the lead actress of Her . Next we are getting Ex Machina ?

I am really sad that jsonnet / ksonnet never really took off. It’s a great way to template, but has a bit of a learning curve in my experience. I suspect that is why it’s niche. If…

My experience is that the Hoff transcends company, language and country boundaries.

> The A/B upgrade sounds a bit overkill, you can always just pop up a live distro or install a recovery system (on an old version) in a partition in case something goes wrong. You …

I (recently) created kubeconfig-bikeshed, a small CLI application to manage the high number of kubeconfigs (configuration/credential files to access Kubernetes clusters) that I hav…

Not everyone can look back at a 10 year long career in the industry to draw inspiration from. Especially for junior engineers, pointing out alternatives (that feel obvious to you) …

It would be helpful if the post not only told you what to _not_ do (especially when it is a frequently done thing) but offered any sort of alternative.

Joke‘s on them when the EU cracks those lockdowns wide open.

Can you elaborate on that? What kind of introspection do you think the author is missing?

The post you are responding to is making the point that even though we have QA, dedicated jobs or even departments for these things … We, as a profession, still fail in releasing b…

> Suggesting that emergency brakes are inadequate due to one passenger failing to locate one is kinda cheap. That’s not what I wanted to say at all - the op talked about the willin…

Not entirely true: > Dittmann could not find an emergency brake in the corridor and had not noticed that there was an emergency brake handle in his own compartment. The learning fr…

This seems to be a very common sentiment that is not stated that clearly often, but it makes me very sad to read it. The magic of the internet, once upon a time, was discovering co…

I assume that’s for professional workstations? There were complaints about the „low“ maximum RAM with previous Apple Silicon generations if I remember correctly.

Most autoscaling functionality is implemented on top of the upstream cluster-autoscaler component, and GKE documentation claims to remove nodes when pods fit onto other nodes as we…

This might be true for "stock" Kubernetes, but it seems likely that the grandparent post is using cluster autoscaling (since they mention "auto-scaled up"), for which this post is …

Maybe that is just corporate language, but the way this is worded („distortion of truth“, „selective presentation“) seems to suggest that the quite detailed post from Gordon is tru…

For what it’s worth, the subthread you are commenting on specifically talks about GKE. GKE is removing docker support, period. That’s not plainly wrong, it’s in their support docum…

> The question was did they remove support for docker. They have not. Have they not? Note that the GP asked for GKE specifically. The support page I linked to literally says so: > …

They have, with 1.24[1], following Kubernetes upstream. If you are an end user nothing is really going to change from this though, because docker produces container images that can…

I am very much aware of this, but that's exactly what I am arguing. Articles setting out to explain Kubernetes should not perpetuate the false equality of docker and containers.
