Funny enough i just watched a documentary (in german) about child prodigies (musical ones) and david garrett said: there are no child prodigies, every note is trained hard.
the gist was that a child prodigy is defined as a child who can play at 10 what professional can play but the kids need a few 'talents': 1. stamina and a lot of it 2. motivation/fun for playing music and 3. a ton of exercise.
And this blog article sounds definitly much more involved while trying to give of the vibe of 'look i have prodigy kids' and 'i only do a little bit of excercising with them and its just 5 minutes a day or so'.
Nonetheless, 30 minutes a day on avg is still so much more than a lot of other kids do and as others said, the bragging is annoying.
There is no real culture left after just 2 generations.
We already live in a modern world. I have seen probably more culture from a lot more countries than anyone before us all.
It really takes time and energy to get culture. Culture is not just a few family traditions or a little bit of food.
Besides, i do think culture became much more generic the last 30 years due to how we are now connected. Everyone has coca cola (which is ridiculous), everyone ewars colorful tshirts from adidas and all the other brands we know. We took culture and mangeld it in sending cheap old cloth to other countries, exporting everything and stop embracing local things.
And even if you do, sometimes you see how those local people cook (in which conditions) and than you are happy about the generic imported coca cola because they never heard of hygene.
There was a Youtube Video were someone interviewed people in germany / munich and asked them how living here changed them. And thats very interesting culture wise: They said things which were very german like 'no longer talking to anyone on the street just for fun' or being more on time etc. I bet this cultural trades took much more than just a few weeks to get ingrained.
I'm very curious about this as normally all tools i know still have a higher entry point than i realize.
My current setup is 'get a k8s cluster spup up and configured properly as fast and easy as possible' and than just use argocd. Argocd is by far the best tool i have been using in the last 15 years: It does exactly what it should do (syncing and showing me k8s insight vs my git repo), can manage itself through the same mechanism (IaC) and people of different backgrouns are very fast in using it.
This tool either might bridge the gap for people and potentially solve problems but i do have to say: argocd.
Even if you think you want to start small and just use kubectl: start with argocd.
Great that your setup work, i personally hate terraform and try to avoid it.
k8s is also KISS but it brings even more 'out of the box' like logging and monitoring, would highly recommend you to take a look perhaps you like it.
Terraforms state management is bad and a lot of people don't get that you store secrets in them. Bootstrapping this securly already needs infrastructure like remote stores.
Jenkins is fine i would say but with argocd you actually gain real insight. Argocd is also IaC and you can manage argocd through argocd.
The adoption of argocd in the platforms i have build, is great. Developer teams love it, get used to it very fast and don't need cluster access/ (in your case vm access).
With k8s you also get zero downtime deployment, blue / green basically for free.
I do believe that we will talk about the AI era in a 'changing the industry' way and not in a 'hot garbage we should have just ignored'.
And we already see the effect and have not even reached any hill.
Its for me the same as with renewable energie and EVs: We have not yet invested that much money into batteries as we could and all the problems we are facing will be gone sooner than later because there is no ceiling currently visible. Just not enough VC for it.
Battery tech started to get much more funding 2022.
AI will defintily change a lot and the progress is astonishing.
i only bought TFA Dostmann AirControl Mini CO2 Meter TFA 31.5006 Ambient Air Monitoring by accident, it does what it does and is super unflashy so i got another one a year later.
funny how we still have people even on hn dissing Windows. How old are you?
No srsly how old are you?
My arch linux works great, just takes a little bit more fines than Windows. My Windows runs very well for the last 6 years and happily entertains me with tons of games, chrome and lightroom. The MacOS i'm using at work though, also works totally fine.
I do thought about a lot and its definitly exhausting to be free but i have been a nihilist since 16. Thought through tons of ideas and concepts (what if the universe is repeating itself, no free will, after life, before life, 'the egg' story, lsd, mdma, ...)
I'm now quite happy and content and still curious with my life. Havent' felt better than this and going the next step: getting a farm and transforming my environment how i want it to be.
Having co2 made it much much more aware to me to keep window open or open them and this effect is very long lasting for me, i'm doing this now for years and it stuck.
I can highly recommend buying a $60 or so co2 device.
You just might discovered yourself what others did without thinking: Following some given path to stop worring and using it as 'this can't be wrong because its old and others are doing it and enabling me'.
Perhaps community fits even better.
I personally am free enough to design my own life without boundaris.
I will try to write / formulate a screenplay. I have started to look into it a little bit more and thanks to YouTube it acutally feels doable for getting more feedback.
And it doesn't meassure anything else. So a good point that its not the same thing and if you want both, you probably need to spend 100+
