As a relatively new Kubernetes user, the big thing on my wishlist is templates (for example so I can share YAML between my production and staging environments). Unfortunately the k8s team have already said "no" to that, and point to a list of alternatives. But without a simple solution that lots of people use, it's hard to know which one to pick and it doesn't look like any are particularly good. I took a quick look at a bunch of them and they seem to be either half-baked solutions that someone put up on GitHub, or tools that introduce way more complexity than I need right now (like Helm).

What if the substitute was specifically created to be as positive an addition as possible, with built in tools designed to help boost users' willpower and help them grow?

I'm not sure how viable such a thing would be given that most of facebook's negative aspects are a direct result of them monetizing the platform as much as possible. But I think it's worth thinking about!

There also doesn't seem to be any color choice.

I realize you probably meant "positive differentiator" but there you go. :)

Any of Sherwin Tija's books are humorous, well-illustrated takes on the genres that are definitely not for kids. Plus most of them feature cats! (The original is "You Are a Cat")

How do they plan on dealing with vandalism and theft? Those robots look pretty defenseless.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who cringes at the term "Customer Success".

This has been around for a while but it's a great summary of what Postgres can do: http://rachbelaid.com/postgres-full-text-search-is-good-enou...

In my experience performance is great if you're just doing text search, but if you combine that with other operators in the same SELECT it can be much slower than Elasticsearch since in many of those cases Postgres needs to fall back to a full table scan.

Note that a human doesn't "plug in" to the rest of the launch vehicle the way a satellite does.

I imagine they _would_ do these tests with the crew compartment attached and dummy human loads strapped in to the crew seats.

Wow, that's a lot of anecdata and personal feelings. The truth is that pretty much any car on the market today will protect its occupants in a crash.

More anecdata: my wife was in an accident last Friday - she hit a deer at highway speeds. The front of the vehicle crumpled significantly and the steering wheel airbag deployed, and she was totally fine. This was in a 6 year old Toyota Yaris.

I want my family back in a Yaris. Or any other vehicle with a 4 star or better NHTSA rating. It really doesn't matter which.

Yes indeed. I'll trust Docker in production when I can go 6 months without hitting any weird bugs like that, or having to wipe out `/var/lib/docker` and restart the daemon to get it out of some inexplicable state.

Any idea if they based their distro on Pear OS or if it was reskinned from scratch?

What blocker do you use that has decent blacklisting support? I tried a few some months back and went back to Ad Block Plus with whitelisting.

I'd rather blacklist though. I want to support sites that use unobtrusive advertising, but block ads on sites that use autoplaying videos, distracting animations, disgusting pictures of yellow teeth, etc.

It depends. I used to take a lot of ibuprofen (generic Advil), and I found that generic ibuprofen is often wax coated, probably because it's cheaper. Real Advil is sugar coated and much easier to swallow.

For me even that's annoying enough. On a mac it's consistently command-x command-c command-v everywhere, whereas in Linux I have to think "oh, I'm in a terminal now, use shift", and if you get it wrong things screw up (e.g. C-shift-v opens the inspector in Firefox if memory serves).

Hey, since this is HN, I should point out how nice it was to page through that article and NOT have to deal with any fancy CSS / JavaScript scrolling tricks. Very nice, Globe and Mail.

I also find the Android alarm to be not nearly persistent enough. The clock radio I have at home goes off until you turn it off or snooze it - for hours if needed. But the Android alarm stops after a few minutes, and I've slept through it many times. (Doesn't help that it's quieter too.)

A couple of suggestions if the people behing Flytenow are reading this:

* Provide a link from your blog back to the main website, so if I start by reading this (or any other) blog post, it's easy for me to learn more.

* Let me see what's available before signing up! I'm curious, but not that curious about what you're offering.

> Have I learned anything directly useful?

You probably haven't. But a less experienced programmer has learned why you should always use ===.

LVL on grade? How is that not going to rot?

You could probably get around that by pouring a slab with small stem walls and building inside that, but that's not what they're doing here...

Early Google was exactly what we'd call a minimum viable product from a lean startup today. Two smart, committed people put together a site that just did one thing well, running off minimal hardware.

The difference was that the idea (quality, uncluttered search results) was a good one. The anti-Pointcast stance is well taken.

I rent a lot of cars and I've seen some really bad touchscreens. But the Toyota Camry has a great one (as does the Prius) so it's possible for them not to suck. Hopefully all the car companies will get there soon :)

Off topic, I'm always extremely amused to see cars branded as "limited". "Ooh, this car has more limitations! Sign me up!"

If you're doing a one-off pipeline on the command line, you can even start with less!

"I want to look through this file..."

  less file

"Oh, that's long, I want to look at all the foos..."

  less file | grep foo

"How many foos are there?"

  less file | grep foo | wc -l

Try it, it works!

I'm pretty impressed that the links on the top bar still take you (via redirects, sure) to relevant places.

There's a very good reason for using HTTP basic auth: if you want to store password hashes on your server using a modern scheme like bcrypt or PBKDF2, you can't use digest authentication. The author suggests rolling your own authentication scheme based on HMAC-SHA, but then all the clients need to implement this scheme whereas HTTP basic auth is already part of most HTTP libraries. And do you really trust yourself to get the crypto right?

HTTP basic auth over SSL seems like the way to go - and you need to use SSL on your API anyway to prevent hijacking. The points about not allowing HTTP access to the API make sense, but avoiding basic auth entirely isn't a good security tradeoff.

It's to sell a $950 class in community building. The sales pitch starts about half way down.

PayPal does this too. I don't get it. (Other than PayPal are jerks anyway so this fits.)
