Honestly, I probably would have stuck with Paramount + for quite some time if they had their own freaking show on their streaming service. I got Paramount + because I wanted to watch Yellowstone, which is a show created/published by Paramount (so I assumed that it would most certainly be on Paramount +, silly me). I found the two prequels 1883, and 1923 but no Yellowstone itself. So I watched the prequels, but now that I am done with those, I want to watch Yellowstone, which appears to be on Peacock for some ungodly reason, instead of on the Streaming service that made/produced/published the damn show.

Really? I just canceled in favor of Paramount +, which I will likely cancel soon as well.

This might not be feasible. If you are making a game for yourself and your kid, you might not be using assets (art, sound, etc.) that you could distribute/sell in your game.

I made a game for my daughters 3rd birthday, recorded some Blipi and Coco Melon songs off youtube that I put in the game. I would not have the right to sell the game without securing rights to the songs (unless I want a lawsuit on my hands).

You need to go back to school any amount of money above 0 is some impact, no matter how rich you are.

Put up, or shut up.

If you want to pay more, the fucking pay more, you are free to give the IRS more. I don’t understand why anyone, ever, would be in favor of more or higher compulsory taxes.

1998 called, they want their phone back.

In seriousness though, you could have used black electrical tape and saved yourself the nauseating smell of nail polish.

> Theres clouds built with KVM

No shit, they have huge teams and this is their bread and butter. I have 3 people. I do know my stuff, which is why I would never use KVM and try to match that to the features VMWare gives me with a team of 3 (including myself).

>KVM works great. Do you think major cloud providers are building everything on VMware?

Major cloud providers have huge teams developing their compute as a service, that is what they do, that is the bread and butter.

I don't have the resources and team size to hack our own hypervisor/on-prem cloud solution.

I have a team of 3 people, that is it. I can't put 5 people on designing and maintaining a hodgepodge solution of various tools that get us to where vmware already has us. I need a turn-key solution that a small team can manage.

Like what? There is no real open source comparable option to VMware if are running your own hypervisors.

KVM? Not even close, you need a host of other tools to get what you have with esxi and vcenter. You’ll spend months just finding and configuring a disjointed hodgepodge of tools to get what you could have setup in a day. And even then you have a fargile system that is likely to break any time you update one tool in your stack.

Pretty sure the high temp, has less to do with the carbon dioxide, and more to do with the fact that the planet rotates so slowly. It takes 243 earth days for one day on Venus.

> Astrophysicists largely agree that dark matter explains a variety of strange phenomena,

Which astrophysicists? What percentage? This is vague hyperbole trying to dismiss a theory many respected astrophysicists take seriously. This reads like a scientific hit piece, and not a honest review.

> In other words, since randomly increasing a person’s income does not reduce their crime rate, the first set of theories are falsified

This a rather false conclusion. I will concede wealth alone isn’t a predictor of weather someone is likely to commit crime. But, being able to generate wealth on your own is. The example of winning the lottery doesn’t prove much, since that person got lucky, they didn’t generate that wealth on their own. If you can’t generate your own wealth legitimately, then you will be tempted to do illegally, winning the lottery doesn’t change that, you got lucky once, but you still don’t have the skills to generate your own wealth legitimately.

I don't know why node local dns isn't installed by default on a vanilla k8s setup. Seems like it would reduce a lot of headache.

Do you have node local DNS setup? https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/administer-cluster/nodeloca...

Might have been a quicker, easier "fix".

Mostly physical at this point. I am lacking in the reading/meditation/relationships, for sure, need to step up my game.

  * Monday: Run 4 miles
  * Tuesday: 1 hour strength/weights, 20 min on stationary bike (6.2 miles)
  * Wednesday: Run 4 miles
  * Thursday: 1 hour strength/weights, 20 min on stationary bike (6.2 miles)
  * Friday: Run 4 miles

Saturday/Sunday, nothing strict, might do a short run, otherwise hanging out with my family, or doing house work.

To be fair I don't have insights into your projects. But generally speaking in my experience, anytime there is already some standard most people have adopted, rolling your own solution is usually the wrong solution, and typically over engineered.

> To keep things simple, we used Nomad, and instead of K8s CNIs, we built our own Rust-based TLS-terminating Anycast proxy (and designed a WireGuard/IPv6-based private network system based on eBPF).

That is quite the opposite of “simple”. That is in fact, overly complex and engineered.

> the wealthy have a higher tax burden because they have most of the money

Well duh. This isn't really an argument. This is one of those "facts" that is so obvious, yet people think it should be somehow shocking, like "90% percent of accidents happen 5 miles from the home", well no shit, you have to drive in the 5 mile radius to go anywhere, or to get back home.

> A family that makes $200,408 gross taxed at 18.38% is still left with $163,573. A family making $12,439 @ 9.78% only has $11,223 where every dollar counts in terms of trying to keep a roof overhead and bellies full.

And...what is your point? This is perfectly reasonable. Look generally speaking (of course there are outliers and edge cases), but the more money you make the more responsibility you have. A line cook doesn't have as much responsibly as a franchise manager, a franchisee manager doesn't have much responsibility as corporate district manager, etc. Why would anyone strive to have jobs with more responsibility, if you are just going to tax them to oblivion where a senior VP now takes home the same as line cook? Having the senior VIP take home much more money, is reasonable and fair.

Ideally taxing income is generally immoral, IMO. A much fairer system would be to ditch income tax entirely and just have a VAT. But somehow people are deluded into thinking VAT is "regressive", which its not.

You should review the tax code, instead of parroting talking points. The top 5% already pay the vast majority of the tax dollars.

I mean if they haven't really assigned you issues yet, and it seems like they are fine with you slowly getting up to speed. Then I would dissect the project and setup a fully local dev environment in docker-compose that included the database. Document/publish it so that other people in the future won't run into the situation you are currently in.

This kind of assumes some stuff that might not be true.

1. The database is some open source project like Postgres or Mysql and you can easily grab containers for it from dockerhub.

2. Somewhere in the code there is a schema file for the database (assuming it is a db that has schemas) so you could at least init a local copy of the database schema (although it wouldn't have any data in it, you would have all the tables) in your docker-compose setup.

3. Once you have the app and the db in docker-compose then come up with a way to seed the db with some dummy/test data (not a full dump of the real database, as you mentioned it is quite large, just enough data where you can see things working in the app).

You do that and show your manager, and they will quickly start throwing more stuff at you. You will also gain a reputation as some who takes initiative.

Good luck.

And this is why you terminate access, then fire, not the other way around.

>The application could do that.

How do you manage multiple instances of the application and not introduce split brain?

> Or you could do it at disk level (RAID).

That is not comparable. RAID's redundancy is not the same as the redundancy in a multi node database cluster. You have one service, not multiple services, network card gets fried, your database goes down, you can't promote a standby to master and be on your way. Also RAID is a single disk as far as the OS is concerned, so you could hit I/O limits (especially if you have a single binary) that cause your app to chug, you cannot split your writes and reads across different physical or virtual machines that have different disks.

Nope, nope and nope. Went to the github page for spacetimedb, it does everything that is terrible.

>Instead of deploying a web or game server that sits in between your clients and your database, your clients connect directly to the database and execute your application logic inside the database itself. You can write all of your permission and authorization logic right inside your module just as you would in a normal server.

Why? Databases should never, ever, ever, be used to perform logic, they are datastores, that is it. Your logic goes elsewhere. Stored procedures are the worst "feature" of any database, you are just asking for a hard time debugging, troubleshooting, and increasing the chance that you will fuck up the most valuable part of your system, your data.

> This means that you can write your entire application in a single language, Rust, and deploy it as a single binary.

It also means you have a single point of failure, no read-replicas or redundancy. Hate everything about this.

Since this article's dateline says "TOKYO" I am going to assume that this is real wasbi. Just a note to everyone out there thinking that they should eat more wasbi, unless you live in Japan, chances are slim that you have ever had real wasbi, what you have had is a dyed green horse radish paste.

People still use basecamp? I thought everyone was in Jira now.

If I had the resources I would. Not /s

What is “calling a car”? Like taxi? By the time it’s gets there you might as well just waited for your car to charge.

And yeah, God forbid you move from something with more flexibility and freedom (a combustion engine), to something with less (an EV).

I don’t wish anyone ever go from more to less freedom and flexibility.

The “derp it’s only 20 min to charge” is a bad argument. You are asking me to go from 2 min or less to 20+ min. That’s a 900% increase and is totally unacceptable.

> Plus you can do it at home, while you sleep. If you're on a long trip the range is long enough now that is a good reason to stretch your legs and hydrate.

Oh it's so easy and convenient!

You are being short sighted, yeah in ideal conditions, it's OK. But what about.

You're pulling into your home just about on empty, plug it in walk inside, then a get a phone call from your dad who lives 2 hours away "Mom just had a terrible accident, and is in the hospital, were not sure she can make it, get to the hospital as soon as your can!" Now your dumb ass has to sit and panic and stress while you wait for your stupid EV to charge. On top of that now your playing this guessing game, "What is the least amount of charge I need to get to the hospital, what if I underestimate just a bit and run out of charge 10 miles out, then I would be even later than if just let it charged a bit more".

What if you car is low on charge, you go plug in it, then a storm comes ripping through, electricity is out, it's out for days, your fucking stuck, sorry.

I think people are vastly under estimating the "I HAVE TO LEAVE RIGHT THE FUCK NOW" value you have with a combustion engine.

Emergencies happen, electricity goes out, I would happily pay more for a vehicle that didn't have these terrible drawbacks.

I don’t want an EV.

EV’s will never be a viable option until they are better in every facet than a combustion engine.

The charging is cumbersome and much longer than filling a gas tank, hard pass.

I would buy a combustion engine car, even if it was more expensive, for this reason alone.

Uncle Sam can’t but your car can, and Uncle Sam is real friendly with those car manufacturers.
