kutorio··on Kubernetes YAML Generator
kubesail has really nice UI for an hosted option. Another alternative I found is https://kalm.dev/, which is open sourced and geared towards configuring a heroku on top of a k8s cluster.
kutorio··on I just lost 1,400 BTC
I'm not an expert in BTC storage, but as far as I understand such an attack could have been prevented if the owner invested in a hardware wallet for $100-200. As the final step in a transaction would be to sign it on your ledger/trezor device, and would be much harder to phish.
kutorio··on Microsoft Fast Design
It reminds me more of https://material-ui.com/
kutorio··on Dividing front end from back end is an antipattern
Of course masters of their trade can create quality work by overseeing the process from end to end.

That doesn't mean there isn't an opportunity to divide up tasks, build assembly lines, and lower the job difficulty so it is accessible to more people.

kutorio··on The Four Quadrants of Conformism
"worked at a startup" and "founded a (non-trivial) startup" can be quite different.
kutorio··on The Four Quadrants of Conformism
Initially I wondered if pg was insinuating that startup hubs could replace universities as the new haven of independent thinking:

> "People who would have become professors 50 years ago have other options now. Now they can become quants or start startups."

> "If existing institutions are compromised, they'll create new ones."

However, after reading through the essay a second time, I'm more pessimistic about the positive conclusion of the essay. If startups succeed by "make stuff people want", and given there are "far more conventional-minded people than independent-minded ones", then perhaps independent-minded CEOs making tools for conventional-minded people is not a rare accident, but rather an inevitability.

kutorio··on How to Plan a Space Mission
Somewhat disappointed that this isn't about playing Kerbal Space Program
kutorio··on Let’s avoid talk of ‘chemical imbalance’: it’s people in distress
Given that the entire brain is arguably a collection of "chemical processes", how do you separate a condition that is "just a chemical imbalance" vs something that is... "you"?
kutorio··on You've only added two lines – why did that take two days?
A smart idea for the individual employee but terribly unfortunate for the company. Building cheap prototypes is a really good way to minimize wasted effort and gathering valuable feedback.
kutorio··on TikTok Agreed to Buy More Than $800M in Cloud Services from Google
It's not hard to imagine them planning ahead. In fact you can argue that the parent company ByteDance has planned for such existential risk by setting up TikTok as a separate entity from Douyin.
kutorio··on DevOps Newsletters
If you only had bandwidth to follow 1 devops newsletter which one would it be?
kutorio··on Stitch Labs has been acquired by Square
M&A process is pretty draining, so that could explain the 8 months of inactivity.
kutorio··on Json-Base – Database built as JSON files
Maybe similar to things like json-server (mockup a REST api by making a few json files) which is useful during the development process?
kutorio··on A Google bot scrapes pricing info by adding items to carts
A good example of "proof of work" used for price differentiation.
kutorio··on Yann LeCun quits Twitter amid acrimonious exchanges on AI bias
This is a much better articulation of the problem. From this my takeaway is that the definition of the word "bias" is overloaded here:

1) biased as in "the sample does not represent the population" 2) biased as in "the world is far from ideal"

And mixing the two definitions together is confusing: "Even if the data-set is not biased, biases still exist"

kutorio··on NovaChat: Multi-Network Chat
NovaChat lists WeChat in the "Coming Soon" section. Out of curiosity is it even possible to write a 3rd party client for WeChat? Last time I checked their APIs are extremely limited.
kutorio··on The Return of the 90s Web
how is the battery still alive?
