Kaytaro··on The container orchestrator landscape
They mentioned it indirectly-

> "seemingly every tech company of a certain size has its own distribution and/or hosted offering to cater to enterprises"

Kaytaro··on Uzi Nissan (nissan.com) died of covid July 2020 and the website is now down
Because domains pointing to where you'd expect just makes the internet a better place. It reduces dependency on search engines, makes the internet simpler to use, and ideally you could be confident that nissan.com isn't some Joe Blow but a trusted company.

What benefit does "first come first serve" provide? Nothing other than allowing individuals to hijack widespread brands.

Kaytaro··on Uzi Nissan (nissan.com) died of covid July 2020 and the website is now down
Should domains be first come first serve though? Why?

Almost 100% of people when they hear "Nissan" think of the car company, so why should that domain direct to some random guy who happened to claim it first?

Kaytaro··on LibreWolf: A privacy-focused Firefox fork
Maybe if you're concerned about Mozilla pushing out an anti-privacy update, as they've been known to do.
Kaytaro··on Fossil versus Git
It's easy nowadays because it's popularity forced everyone to build integration. Git is a absolute nightmare to integrate with CI tools though if you actually have to develop the integration yourself. Git has no native way to reliably tell you what you actually worked on in a branch. Yes it has git diff but that is not precisely the same, and git log is A. not easy to consume B. unreliable since git has so many methods to rewrite history. If you're using something like GitHub it's obviously much easier to use their API but even that is quirky sometimes.
Kaytaro··on What's new in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9
Basically, it’s a much smaller company than Red Hat so it’s uncertain if they can provide the same level of tech support for massive enterprise customers, something Red Hat’s been doing for 20+ years. It’s also privately owned and controlled by one guy so it’s hard predict the future of the company.
Kaytaro··on What's new in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9
Base images were a part of this release, and their developer subscription is free. Not sure if that applies to the various public clouds though. Red Hat's thing is hybrid cloud and being cloud agnostic. Amazon Linux locks you in to AWS (and by the way it's literally just a clone of RHEL) and Canonical is too sketchy for some enterprise customers. Also RH is focused on Podman over Docker, being the developers of it.
Kaytaro··on The road to success is paved with rejection letters
Just last month I was contact by a company I had interviewed for a whole 3 years ago. They actually made a great offer that I accepted.

But something like that has only happened one other time in the dozen or so interviews throughout my life so I would say it's pretty rare.

Kaytaro··on Podman 4.0
> Podman was developed by Red Hat

Wow they should advertise that more. I had no idea and I'm pretty deep in the Red Hat ecosystem.

Kaytaro··on The Factorio Mindset
I mean this as a compliment when I say I hope this never gets released.
Kaytaro··on Tesla to recall vehicles that may disobey stop signs
Tesla partnered with Luminar by the way and even tested their LiDAR on a model 3 last year. I guess they weren't impressed though, since they seem to still be all-in on passive optical recognition.
Kaytaro··on Moving Google Contacts and Calendar to NextCloud
Just a reminder for anyone not ready to ditch gmail...everyone should at a bare minimum be using https://takeout.google.com/ to export and backup their data if you use any google service.
Kaytaro··on Mozilla Foundation pausing cryptocurrency donations
To be fair neither Bitcoin nor Eth are aimed toward being a day-to-day currency. Regardless of the original intent Bitcoin is only really useful for hoarding like gold, and Eth in its current state is more about smart contracts than transactions.

If you're truly interested in a decentralized currency there are other projects focused on that.

Kaytaro··on Japan to implement bank-deposit-backed digital currency in 2022
Yes, the only difference is this currency will be on a blockchain. Although I'm assuming it will be completely centralized so I'm not sure what benefits this will have over a traditional database.
Kaytaro··on The Handwavy Technobabble Nothingburger of Crypto
I doubt it, that's what Venmo, PayPal, Cash app, and a thousand other services solve. Crypto isn't nearly as convenient as any of those.
Kaytaro··on Samsung plans $17B chip plant in Taylor, Texas
I was surprised the power outage affected Samsung because in DFW the outage only affected residential areas. I didn't see a single commercial/industrial space without power including fully lit empty parking lots.
Kaytaro··on Coinbase Breach Notification
Yeah, Mt. Gox used to be considered a large exchange, the largest at the time in fact.
Kaytaro··on COBOL – Still standing the test of time
My job involves a lot of projects with IBM i and Z so I meet a lot of them. It's pretty much the "greybeards" you'd expect, but also surprisingly there's a LOT of older women in these roles. Like, proportionally way more than an in open systems world in my experience. I've always wondered why that is, I have heard that programming used to be considered a "woman's job" so maybe that's it.
Kaytaro··on Apple unveils new iPad mini with breakthrough performance in new design
That was what struck me first as well. Reminds me of one of those kids edition tablets.
Kaytaro··on U.S. opens probe into Tesla’s Autopilot over emergency vehicle crashes
Autopilot is precisely the correct term - An autopilot is a system used to control the path of an aircraft, marine craft or spacecraft without requiring constant manual control by a human operator. Autopilots do not replace human operators.
Kaytaro··on Apple’s new abuse prevention system: an antritust/competition point of view
This is a great point. You don't even need to unlock an iPhone to take a picture. So in theory anyone with access to your phone for a few seconds could incriminate you with little effort.
Kaytaro··on CalyxOS – De-Googled Android Alternative
OP didn't say he doesn't like it, just pointing out the reality. But yes, the reality is depressing.
Kaytaro··on Apple's plan to “think different” about encryption opens a backdoor to your life
How so? That's literally what it is.
Kaytaro··on Woman sues L.A. after being struck by car on a street where tents block sidewalk
Homeless in the US are not really struggling for food.
Kaytaro··on Japan's cherry blossom: as indisputable as climate change evidence gets
I "believe" in climate change, but this article does a pretty poor job of examining even the most basic of questions a skeptic would ask. Such as, what determines when the blossoms are peak bloom? How accurate were the ancient Japanese at recording days? I mean, just looking at the graph you can see it narrows near modern times which suggests we simply got better at recording accurate data.
Kaytaro··on New Google Fi Cell plans – unlimited data for $30
Spectrum Mobile offers unlimited for one line for $45, so does Xfinity Mobile I believe. Better deal for us loners.
Kaytaro··on Surface Laptop 4
I see Microsoft is fully embracing their boring reputation by announcing this in a blog post.
Kaytaro··on Mathematician Solves Sensitivity Conjecture in Two Pages (2019)
Ironically your comment is guilty as well.
Kaytaro··on [dead]
If you can't make a point without mentioning morality, maybe your reasoning isn't objective.
Kaytaro··on [dead]
All I know is, if my business was locked in to AWS (or any other single provider) I would take this as a warning to diversify my infrastructure.
