I'd like to hear more on troubleshooting with a managed k8s platform and how you diagnose such issues.

My organization is playing with EKS and while perhaps it is different from GKE I feel like I have minimal visibility into if the control plane is healthy. I've had several instances where all of my node groups have become unhealthy for various reasons and EKS failed to spin up new nodes to resolve the issue.

I'm not sure there's enough real data here for any sort of conclusion, but it is interesting.

For those that are considering a move strictly based on recent events what's primary driver? Are those that are unhappy with how recent events unfolded(Covid or political unrest) looking to move somewhere that more closely aligns with their views?

As someone in Pennsylvania I've come to terms with the wide political differences across the state. I couldn't imagine calling anywhere else home despite wishing to be in a more progressive environment.

As someone attempting to port a docker-compose application to a Helm chart I'd love to hear more about the resources you used. As someone working with a very simple application I've found the processes to be more difficult than I anticipated.

As someone new to k8s and EKS it blows my mind things are only supported for such a short period of time. I find it very difficult to build a product on a platform in such constant flux. I'm struggling to see the benefits of k8s when things are rapidly being replaced and EOLd.

If I just wanted to host my own instance for my family to post news and updates on would that be a suitable use case for Mastodon?

I realize it can be federated, but just a singular isolated FB/Twitter clone would be ideal.

Is regulation really that big of an issue?

I realize all the tech companies in the running and ARM are global brands. Recently T-Mobile and Sprint were allowed to merge in the US. Is it really that certain that Apple or another giant purchasing ARM wouldn’t be allowed?

Newlyweds, not a ton of savings. Trying to balance building a safety net while building a family.

It's not a terrible hardship given our current situation but given the volatility in the job market it certainly makes us uncomfortable.

In my experience access to credit besides credit cards has been extremely limited.

My wife and I looked into several different personal or short term loan options for our upcoming IVF cycle(approx 30k$). Most banks have either stopped offering them completely or made the requirements much harder. The two of us with credit scores of 750+, combined 200k annual income and little existing debt couldn't get approved for a simple 5k$ loan.

I fear for those that have a more dire need for the cash than we do.

Needing to manufacture and assemble several components in this fashion must be awful for yields. I'd imagine AMDs chiplet process is much more forgiving.

I find this fascinating, and I have a few follow-up ideas.

How many PCIe lanes are on this connector? Is this a full 16x slot? I assume since it has a very limited amount of PINs I'd assume it's just a 1x.

The next obvious step is hooking up this to a PLX chip. Duplicating the number of lanes available even if there's no additional bandwidth could really open up doors.

My main issue with USB boot is the abysmal driver support. I have three USB3 to sata adapters with three different chipsets and none work properly. You don’t get warnings or failures, you’re just left with a black screen. As often the problem with cutting edge Linux it doesn’t “just work” and this ends up driving people away.

Wonder what will happen to the products at these locations. As someone who lives very close to one (King of Prussia), I'd love to see a chance to pick up some display models on the cheap.

What's the practicality of this? Assuming you can use the PDK to create a functional design what would your next step be? Will they accept orders yet?

Can someone explain to me how Xrdp is so much simpler to use than VNC? I setup a new CentOS workstation the other day and ended up trying to follow long tutorials with config files and services. I gave up, installed the Xrdp package and seconds later I had a remote session going.

Do you have any details on this? My wife and I are currently looking into IVF and the cost of the drugs alone is staggering.

I work on the team developing VECTR at Security Risk Advisors. VECTR is a tracking and reporting tool for information security testing activities. It supports MITRE ATTACK Framework methodology plus additional industry metrics. From the heatmap to historical trending users have access to different views for analyzing the results of testing activities. The intended audience is mature organizations performing or contracting regular red team or purple team activities. However, it’s flexible enough to work for smaller teams just getting started. I believe anyone seeking to measure their organization’s defensive response over time can benefit from VECTR.

It all comes down to the software. While the Shield has CUDA and a “real” Maxwell GPU it’s much older than the Pi4. However having said that the Pi4 GPU is completely new and developed specifically for their board. Rasbian uses a new rendering engine and all, with potentially a little more compute headroom.

As of right now they are at parity in my experience, both can do Dreamcast and prior except N64. Which both struggle with, but I’d say the Pi4 has a better chance of catching up. They both do PSP poorly as well. PS2 and beyond is simply not possible on this tier of hardware.

The 8 Bit Guy(David Murray) is a fantastic YouTuber and retro computing enthusiast. If you enjoy Retro computing he’s currently trying to make a “Dream Computer” which is fully C64 compatible. He’s also made several pieces of interesting software for C64 and similar platforms. http://www.the8bitguy.com/download-davids-software/

In my opinion from the previous price fixing scandals and no real competition between the few major suppliers there's very little driving innovation in this space. Perhaps the major suppliers will get better deals or bigger drives but there's no reason for the players in the market to make a product consumers can buy more appealing. We're such a small part of the market and have such little choice.

It seems quite unfortunate we’re coming up the other side of the U shaped price graph for HDD technology. From collusion between the three manufacturers and a consistent push towards flash it’s unlikely we’ll see any further reductions in price per GB without major performance hits like SMR.

This wouldn’t be a problem if flash were cheap enough in the volumes required for archival level storage, but it isn’t. Flash storage is actually going up this year as demand continues to increase.

I suspect there’s no ready answer for those that hoard data now or in the future.

Given the direct quote

“Since my professional goal is for someone to build a quantum computer, I think my resignation is the best course of action for everyone,”

The way I interpret this is that Quantum computing is just some pipe dream that Google isn’t taking seriously. This man intends to build a real device and either he doesn’t have faith Google will allow him to make one or has any intentions of making one.

+1 for the Google Graveyard

I was planning to do a “Show HN” but this seems like an appropriate time. I work on a free product called VECTR which is built to use the MITRE framework.

If you have an interest in being able to track your purple team results I highly recommend it.

Is there a recommended defense against a SIM Swap attack at the carrier level? Do carriers offer some form of two factor? I suppose the weakest link is the in store associate who just can't be bothered to verify identities.

Surprisingly these cheapo Anker Noise Cancelling headphones do support multi-point.

I was considering several different pairs including the Bose and picked up these as I couldn't stomach the cost of the more expensive headphones. At 60$ they are great, the noise cancelling is good enough. The battery life is amazing. I can sit down at my desk and use them all day while connected to my laptop and phone. If either device reports a "Call" coming in it gets priority and I hear the ring. 10/10 Experience for the price.

I actually was planning to attend their DevOps conference this year before COVID. My employer will sponsor one conference of my choice. Any recommendations for replacements?

Costco is often cheaper than other retailers and on sale can be much cheaper. I grabbed a Casper king for 680$, way under the Casper list price even with coupons.

I didn’t like it and I returned it without issue.

I fully agree. Twitter is a platform where I can truly curate what I see and interact with in a meaningful fashion.

On Reddit you can follow a community but then you’re bound by the quality of the community and it’s moderation. If on Twitter I want to follow an author I follow them. I engage with them. No additional noise or BS.
