Is there anything more "Burning Man" than taking something we've been doing for decades (A FOD walk), giving it a worse name, and bragging about it on some random blog?
I mean, hats off, the author really did nail it. This is as honest as I've ever seen BM get, and the juxtaposition of the unintentionally contrasted with the title makes it even better.
I mean that when I went to college 15 years ago, they made you hand write your essays; I have bad hand writing + I am a lazy writer + I'm in school for computers == poor marks.
If I'd typed by essays, they would have been such academic works as to immediately grant me the degree. (Hyperbole for humor)
I’d say my limited experience (in prod, with only like 50K a month bills) AWS and Azure are functionally identical.
Anything I need to do, that I haven’t done before (or recently) requires roughly the same spin up time to get familiar with how each provider functions anyway.
I had a buddy who disappeared for 6 months after our deployment, who we eventually found out was just hiking the Appalachian trail. It ended up being very helpful for him, and it’s something I’ve considered for myself on occasion.
This misses the point entirely. UBI is the democratic socialist version of The Great Leap Forward. Its an attempt to better human existence via direct government intervention, something which rarely works as intended (assuming you're counting net gains). I'm pretty pragmatic, (and libertarian) so if we're going to start down this path let's skip the faux capitalism and get straight to the bread and games part. The government already has a near limitless amount of power to effect changes in the economic structure of the country, and this is where they've gotten us. Going further down that path seems a bit daft.
I realize part of this problem is that we've moved into being a post-frontier world, where there are few, if any, places left where people can go to govern themselves, but I don't see why the lack of empty unclaimed space should lead to the government taking money from some citizens to buy the loyalty of other citizens.
There is something amusingly ironic about a python blog complaining k8's being overly popular relative to how difficult it is to actually use. To be fair, I've had nothing but mediocre experiences with Python, so I'm a bit jaded.
On the actual content of the article....well it gets worse somehow. There are good arguments against using K8's (or any tool, really) but I don't think any of them made it into this article. "Why scale with microservices when you can just get a single massive VM" was probably my fav.
There is something amusingly ironic about a python blog complaining k8's being overly popular relative to how difficult it is to actually use. K8's is extremely complex sometimes, but at least it maintains some semblance of semantic logical consistency, unlike certain other tools.
ATAK already has several hundred thousand end users, and is likely going to continue growing in popularity in the domestic environment. Extensions of the FBCB2/BFT concept have been none stop since the 90's really. The tactical cell phone has already found its place on the modern battlefield.
This directive however, likely has nothing to do with combat. Its more likely related to trying to maintain some semblance of OpSec when things which shouldn't be sent over these cell phones ends up being sent over these cell phones and to help avoid every other private from texting mom/dad/gf things which will then be immediately leaked, by reminding them of the "seriousness" of the situation.
I love a good Trump bashing moment as much as the next guy, but this is inaccurate. The DoD has stringent requirements and quality control procedures in place for their chip procurement. Not to say they couldn't be improved, but the DoD has been aware of this threat for a while, and seems to be mitigating the risk fairly well.
