I didn't imply anything, I was asking for his reasoning since he didn't provide any.

And I'm not sure how to respond to anyone that buckets people into those that do and those that don't matter. Your argument doesn't seem to be made in good faith.

Such a weird attack and downvote just for asking for a clarification?

Are you implying that they are not providing liquidity to "real financial markets"? In that case do you mind making your argument?

They are both pretty household terms that you could've easily Google.

I'm not sure, I live in a rent controller apartment and it certainly is great for the many people in my apartment who work in the city but could never pay the rents.

Thankfully me and my girlfriend can afford and we're therefore planning to buy and lose our contract, but to be honest it probably going to go to someone who needs it. Because owning your own place, being able to modify it to your liking and having people that live there take care for it just makes it much better to own instead (in my opinion).

Yes? That doesn't make this discovery any less interesting/peculiar.

Sorry for this blatant self-promotion. If you're looking for managed Kubernetes I'm building https://symbiosis.host which is a service built on top of Hetzner, with support for terraform, load balancers, storage, etc.

What is the "bank alignment problem"? Binging it turned up dry.

Thanks!

The worker nodes don't need quorum, they are merely VMs that are running a daemon capable of scheduling k8s workloads onto it. The control planes can be configured for high availability (HA), resulting in 3 control planes.

Our status page/status monitoring service is running on Contabo since we want it off-site. We have an API gateway running on DigitalOcean that we're currently moving away from.

Our servers (in our one and only current region) are hosted with Hetzner.

We used that particular comparison of 24 cpus/48GB partly because it was a benchmark used by another competitor and partly because we felt it was in line with expected usage for a small/medium size business.

We're hosting with Hetzner and we have our one and only region in Germany right now, we'll be opening more regions during 2023. Access is granted to users on a per-cluster basis (we're planning to launch finer grained permissions), with clusters having RBAC.

Perhaps you're right in that most developers are looking for a better Heroku, and looking at our current users many of them have infra or devops background. I've used k8s in most of my recent (small & big) projects due to the fact that it's got such a large ecoystem of tools and packages I can readily deploy to it. It's perhaps not the same use-case as most of the users of Heroku or Render, but that's not necessarily the type of use-case that we're hoping to solve.

What answer were you expecting?

Scratching a perpetual itch by building a managed Kubernetes provider that's first and foremost cheaper, but also solve a slew of usability problems I've ran into over the years (https://symbiosis.host). Also working on plowing through the history of the decline and fall of the roman empire by Gibbon. Remains to see which project is more successful.

There's an alternative path where cloud companies actually start to compete on price. Right now you will pay gigantic premiums on your AWS infrastructure just by virtue of being in their ecosystem.

Personally, I see Kubernetes having huge potential to drive down costs. The ecosystem is still young but it's still possible to run such a wide range of services and tools on top of it, and it can easily be run on-prem or using managed providers.

I personally am part of a team building a much cheaper k8s service as I think costs have grown out of proportion and k8s offers the first real good shot at challenging AWS on cloud & costs.

On the other hand how could these guys have fucked up any more than they already did? I think it's clear that he's earnest and not trying to win points simply based on that fact... did they do anything right?

There are plenty of cloud providers that offer cheap and feature-rich services if you look away from the hyperscalers, disclaimer: I'm part of a team building one. However most users aren't swayed by only price so it's a tough market to break into.

Hold on, you don't need anything like Ale or CoC to run LSPs in neovim?

What exactly are the obstacles prohibiting multiple tenants from running rust/java/c++ on the edge?

I don't believe the general user gets much benefit from using a general purpose "everything cloud". The mere scale of building and maintaining such a cloud lead to both these bills but also makes them so much more complicated.

I believe we will see more purpose built clouds that target specific use-cases and infra paradigms.. or at least I hope so as I'm part of building such a service.

Interesting project! What is your target audience for something like this?

We used Framer Motion to animate parts of our landing page but eventually turned against it since the package increased our JS bundle size by ~25kb. We managed to completely replace it with CSS and Observer API instead, YMMV.

> But I guess most of the applications you use, we're covering already.

That seems like an unnecessarily bold statement when your landing page mentions +100 integrations

IIRC 150 students and maybe 6-10 TAs per class

To clarify, I'm not saying I would never cheat. Rather that cheating meant more complications and risks than completing my coursework in the way it was intended.

If we were given take-home multiple choice forms to be judged by I'm certain people would cheat. But I've never seen that, possibly because it feels like a pretty lousy (and lazy) way of evaluating and educating students.

I've personally never witnessed any cheating, heard any friends or students even allude to doing so, I never cheated myself and I can't even comprehend how you would cheat at most of the coursework I did in uni in Sweden.

Sure you could copy your friends code, but you still had to present it to a TA who would certainly get suspicious if you couldn't answer to what you had written. Ditto for exams and essays/reports.

Cheating, or elaborating on how to cheat, just wasn't efficient use of my time as a student, disregarding the morality of it. Frankly, it seems to me the way these students are being tested is not appropriate as it's easy to abuse and creates incentives for students to cheat.

If there's one thing I've learned from mgmt it's that happy teams make for performant teams. The employees trust that I'll support them in creating a fulfilling work environment and look out for them. If I'd take all decisions with the companies profits in mind I'd break that trust which wouldn't lead anywhere good. When an issue arises I'll sometimes be on the side with sr mgmt, sometimes with the team, sometimes it will be more complex than choosing sides. Not all decisions can (or should) be boiled down to dollars and cents.

Perhaps you should ask someone in your HR department to tell you more about their mission as I doubt they'd share these views.

What you're saying has nothing to do with the complexity of their app.

If the Nobel Foundation endorses a prize in his honor, then you can call it a prize in his honor, that doesn't mean you can call it a Nobel Prize. No Swede, nor any reputable newspaper or the Nobel Foundation would ever call it a Nobel Prize since it has never been recognized as one by the foundation, why would we call it that on HN?

You're right, but it was endorsed as a prize in his honor, not as a Nobel Prize with all that entails. Therefore it's incorrect to call it such. It's never called (or at least very seldomly) a Nobel Prize in Sweden as that isn't true.

Well they didn't for the Economics prize, the Swedish Riksbank asked the Nobel family for approval for an award in his honor, which they approved.

If I create a school called "The University in Harvards Honor" and give myself a diploma, am I a Harvard alumni?
