Still down in The Netherlands.
raarts··on Ask HN: Those running K8s in house, can you please explain your architecture?
We run a 7 node cluster in a proxmox cluster, currently considering of two Proliants and an MSA using SAS controllers. Use NFS for permanent storage. K8s can be redeployed using Kubespray from a Gitlab pipeline. Currently experimenting with Capsule to run tenants inside the cluster.
raarts··on Amazon has a way to scrape GitHub and feed its AI model
Language in this article smells like it's written or rewritten by AI.
raarts··on HDMI Forum does not allow an open source implementation of the HDMI 2.1 spec
Youtube is littered with videos about it. Has been for over 2 years.

It’s a recently popular thing to use a tv as monitor.
raarts··on How is a binary executable organized? Let's explore it (2014)
Wow. Cool! I’m a CS teacher and definitely going to use this. Thanks for your work! (Anyone aware of a Windows or Mac equivalent?)
raarts··on Alan Sokal's Joke Is on Us as Postmoderism Comes to Science
Just because it needs to be mentioned: The Grievance Studies Affair. There's a documentary on it called The Reformers.

Part 1: https://youtu.be/iDtO6jjgfrc

raarts··on DeskHop – Fast Desktop Switching
Have been searching for a Bluetooth solution to switch my keyboard+mouse between multiple devices. Only found Logitech MX keys - pricey.

Maybe it could be implemented using Raspberry Pico? I think I found me a new side project!

raarts··on First planned small nuclear reactor plant in the US has been canceled
Interesting video from a Danish Company that claims to be able to produce seacontainer-size thorium reactors by 2028 (1 per day)

raarts··on Show HN: I spent 6 months building a C debugger as a 17-year-old
So you think employers don't look on HN?
raarts··on Show HN: I spent 6 months building a C debugger as a 17-year-old
As a (former) employer I definitely think his age is relevant.
raarts··on Adtech surveillance and government surveillance are often the same
Someone once said: "A democracy with advanced tech is less free than a dictatorship with primitive technology".
raarts··on How Equifax Was Breached in 2017
> but I take major issue with the implication that a music degree makes someone unqualified for a tech job

OP never said 'a tech job', it is implied it would make someone unqualified for a CISO job though. And as a general rule, I tend to agree.

raarts··on How South Korea’s birth rate dropped below Japan’s
There's a very interesting and relevant documentary called 'Birthgap'. First part's on YouTube. Recommended.

raarts··on Ode to the M1
Little known fact is that the M1 does not support nested virtualization. As a college professor I really miss that during Docker classes. Supposedly the M2 does. Can anyone confirm Docker works under Windows on Parallels?
raarts··on Every phone should be able to run personal websites
How about: every internet router should have 10TB of space for household member data and an API to request personal details like medical data.

May soon be commercially viable.

raarts··on We need scientific dissidents
I can tell you that in The Netherlands doctors could be (and still can be) fined up to €150.000 if they prescribed HCQ or Ivermectin.
raarts··on No Accountability 3 Years After History's Biggest Non-Nuclear Explosion
Maybe a reference to climate alarmism?
raarts··on Launch HN: Tiptap (YC S23) – Toolkit for developing collaborative editors
I used Remirror, TipTap with React. They were both great but I needed to implement custom editing behavior and that's where they both fall flat. Building your own extensions is poorly documented, and oh, by the way now you will have to learn ProseMirror anyway. Which has a learning curve you don't need.

This even led to me dropping my project, maybe I need to revisit and check if docs improved now TipTap has funding.

Please consider my plea for a keeping a free tier for unfunded startups? Thanks.

raarts··on Google raising price of YouTube Premium to $13.99 per month
Weird. According to my YouTube app I still pay $7.99/month?
raarts··on Slowing ocean current caused by melting Antarctic ice could have drastic impact
I find myself increasingly ignoring articles with 'could have' in the title.
raarts··on Simple exercise to eliminate gastroesophageal reflux (2022)
Yeah, I did and this is what he prescribed me. PPI is one of the most prescribed drugs, if not the most.

That's why this article is really interesting

raarts··on Simple exercise to eliminate gastroesophageal reflux (2022)
Stomach acid exists for a reason. I worry a lot about the long term effects of suppressing it. Gallbladder problems are often mentioned.
raarts··on Students can’t get off their phones. Schools have had enough
Completely agree.
raarts··on Students can’t get off their phones. Schools have had enough
Right now this is also subject of debate in The Netherlands.
raarts··on macOS Internals
Well, you can make almost any subject interesting if you do it right. In my experience it's mostly the teachers fault if students are bored.

That said, some students cannot be activated whatever your do. We're all people.

raarts··on macOS Internals
CS teacher here. This is my preferred way to teach stuff. Way easier to remember and understand knowledge if you know its origin story.
raarts··on Show HN: AI app that auto-creates presentations from just a topic
Just today someone told me that Microsoft has something similar like this in beta. Anybody can confirm?
raarts··on Why Video Editors Are Switching to DaVinci Resolve in Droves
I'm a programmer who picked up video-editing 2 years ago, and I used DaVinci because it was free, but damn, these video editors are powerful beasts. And there's so much to learn.

You can even remote-control DaVinci from Python (if only there was a Javascript library available), and edit videos programmatically. Mind blown.

raarts··on The early days of Linux
I first downloaded Slackware in June '93. I needed 13 diskettes. Installed it on my Compaq 386/SX 4Mb laptop, and spent the rest of the year learning myself Linux.

In November '93 I founded one of the first internet providers in The Netherlands, and I'm pretty certain my family was the first Dutch family that had always-on public internet from the home.

Also I might have been one of the first companies in the NL to run Linux in a business-critical environment.

Linux always kept me from running Windows on my desktop. Although I switched to the Mac in 2005 after big problems get multimedia And graphics to work reliably.

Without Linux my life would have been completely different. It allowed me to create a new future for myself. So I'm hugely grateful for its existence.
