Re:Writing a Kubernetes Operator on Thursday March 09, 2023 @09:22AM (#35081435)
This article is mistaken from the get-go as an operator is not the same as an apiservice. Rather an operator is a wider term for something that includes a controller. See https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/extend-kubernetes/operat...

Also it's important for people reading this article - an apiservice (which this article talks about) is very rarely something that should be done. An operator is more appropriate for nearly all cases except for when you truly need your state stored outside of the internal Kubernetes etcd datastore.

Re:Win32 Is the Only Stable ABI on Linux? on Monday August 15, 2022 @07:12PM (#32476760)
I ran CentOS on the desktop for many years. It was a very nice, solid setup that I could rely on updating without sweating about an upgrade breaking something. I've recently switched to fedora in light of recent CentOS 8 shenanigans but CentOS 7 was wonderful at the time.
I didn't disagree that sometimes it makes sense to get out of your vehicle if the road is all iced up and one is worried about a trucker crushing into you due to fog. Rather I'm more refuting the following statement:

> unless you're truly in no mans land without any reachable alternatives for shelter, it's best to lock up the vehicle with a note on the dash and make your way to a shelter out of harms way

The presence of anecdotes that conflict each other is evidence that it is hard to make blanket statements like the above although I would still argue that the default should be stay in or near your vehicle during winter weather related emergencies. Also any anecdotes about AI related disasters are off topic ;)

This is still really bad advice. There was a recent instance not a year ago where folks were stuck with 3 feet of snow at night on an interstate interchange. Yes there was a hotel not a mile from where they were but getting out of your car to cross the interstate in 3 feet of snow is a great way to get hit or get lost in the blizzard and get some good hypothermia. Compare this to staying in their car where they were picked up by highway patrol in a snow cat a few hours later and taken to a shelter. And its not some stroke of luck either, highway patrol knows to go look for people in their cars with the snow cat and do it nearly every year. They do not know to look for you in a drift of snow over the side of the highway.

Okay so I was a bit eager to blame Microsoft, thanks for the correction. The early proliferation of non compatible clients was still a bad blunder that I can now attribute to Mojang.

> Roblox has a single version which works seamlessly across all platforms. In Minecraft, kids can only play together if they have the same edition, and modding can only be done via the Java Edition.

This still saddens me everytime Minecraft comes up. I bought Minecraft when it was in Alpha and it was immediately apparent how social the game was as we all sat in the dorm rooms sharing servers over the LAN. Then Microsoft came along and trashed the whole interoperability aspect and now I have to explain to others why anything other than the Java version of Minecraft is a lesser version.

> How are these questions still being asked, and more amazingly, still being upvoted? First off, there will not be a time when "all the bitcoins are mined". Mining rewards are on a geometric curve that approaches 21 million but never touches it.

These questions are still being asked because people like you still spout the wrong answers. There will be a time when "all the bitcoins are mined" - its in the source[0].

xmr.to has recently shut down[1]. It would be nice to see more services accepting monero directly.

Bitcoin is not only possible to trace, it is arguably becoming easier to trace than things like cash. In addition it has started to degrade in some of its decrentalizing aspects which opens up lots of vulnerabilities to being subverted by the government. One example is the supply chain of mining.
I personally like the model of burp[1]. The clients can be configured to not have delete or even restore access to their backups and the backup server is responsible for rotating backups.

> Lack of supply leads to a lack of velocity, which leads to a lack of liquidity

How does one define supply with a divisible unit like bitcoin? Arguably, supply does not diminish, rather people use smaller units of bitcoins.
