triodan··on Common mistakes using Kubernetes
The guaranteed QoS example in the article is wrong. Kubernetes only sets the Guaranteed QoS if the CPU count is an integer (which 0.5 is not).

Also, to take full benefit of the QoS you need to configure the Kubelet with "--cpu-manager-policy static"[0].

triodan··on Candidates for Mozilla's IRC Successor
Until Matrix/Riot resolves their problem of having a centralized identity server[0] I wouldn't recommend it.

triodan··on America’s Buses Need Our Love More Than Ever (2018)
As a Jakarta resident I can confirm that the bus transit system (TransJakarta) have massively helped mobility amongst the populace. With a flat fare of 2 cents you can get from one end of the city to the other; it's an amazing system.
triodan··on Super Mario 64 has been decompiled
Doujin works are made with the awareness that they are parodies of the original work. It does not alter the body of the original work in any way and, as the term itself means, self-published. It is made without any direct affilation in regards to the original work.
triodan··on Abe explains choice of Reiwa for next era name
It's a combination of two existing characters, the rei as in meirei/命令 (order, command) and wa as in heiwa/平和 (peace, harmony). No new characters need to be reserved.

Using GCP's pricing calculator and the specs described in the blog, it's around 170,000 USD to run it for 3 months.

triodan··on Fully Bideniable Interactive Encryption
It means both the sender and the receiver of the message, if coerced, can without coordination have a degree plausible deniability for the contents of the message.

For example, I send you the message "CIA" encrypted using this scheme. Theoretically, it should be impossible for any third party to prove that I send "CIA", because I can give up a different decryption key that decodes the ciphertext to, say, "NSA". Similarly, on the receiving end, you can give up a different decryption key that decodes the ciphertext to, say, "FBI".

This scheme also means it is impossible for a third party to discover who is giving up the 'truth' in such scenarios (for example if I told the truth and decrypted the ciphertext into "CIA", while you lied and decrypted the ciphertext into "FBI", the third party has no way to know which one is correct, or if either of them are fake).

triodan··on A Go Custom Flutter Engine Embedder for Desktop
For the same reasons as Rust, both are in the middle of their growth phase and mass adoption stages.
triodan··on I Do Not Like Go
This must've been quite an old article, because lo and behold, nearly every single complaint on that page is being addressed with gusto by the Go community! Proposals on generics and error handling is well underway, and his complaints regarding GOPATH and the go get has been solved with Go modules.

EDIT: As I expected, the linked page is written on Feb 2018[1], things indeed have changed a lot since then.

triodan··on Just tell me how to use Go Modules
Thank God, finally a proper "Getting Started" guide for Go Modules. The official docs and wiki page always felt so obtuse and unhelpful about how to actually use the feature, while dep at least offers the obvious "dep init then dep ensure and you'll be fine" solution.
triodan··on Show HN: CertMagic – Caddy's automagic HTTPS features as a Go library
So just adding that one line automagically sets up all HTTPS-related headaches for you? Amazing.
triodan··on Can Dirt Save the Earth?
Doesn't the account in the article run counter to the narrative that cows are massive greenhouse gas producers? Is there an alternative to grazing that would not require cows?
triodan··on The Rise of Microsoft Visual Studio Code
Go makes it really hard to do stupid things, and that makes it a really good language.
triodan··on Advent of Nim
Advent of Code is a really fun event in general and an excellent problem-solving exercise, I remember how /g/ won last year's global leaderboard. I'll definitely going participate this year as well.
triodan··on Electric scooters are causing injuries and accidents
Hopefully those safety concerns will force cities to accommodate electric scooters as part of their transportation infrastructure, leading to proper lanes, safety inspections and docking stations, instead of banning them nilly-willy.

The current urban infrastructure in America are build for automobiles, specifically cars, with bikes being an afterthought. The mass adoption of electric scooters will eventually cause a wake-up call for city planners, and will hopefully put the brakes on car culture.

triodan··on Goro – An implementation of PHP written in Go
> one of the most "hip to love" languages

That's not Rust.

triodan··on Participate in the 2018 Go User Survey
Filled. I made sure to suggest keeping the old branding since that blue gopher has become so iconic.
triodan··on As women have more equal opportunity, the more their preferences differ from men
I think this phenomenon was known a while back as the gender equality paradox[0]. It's always nice to see more data on the topic.

What does the new act entail? This article is severely lacking on that front.
triodan··on Stripe has democratised online payments and reshaped the digital economy
Apple has always and will still market themselves as "family-friendly", recently they announced that they will not produce any adult content for their original content lineup.[1]

triodan··on See all your purchases, subscriptions and reservations
I appreciate knowing this and I don't fault Google for collecting it; I definitely can see the value in this, both for the customer and Google themselves.

I just wish there's the option to erase the items there, or even better disable the collection entirely.

triodan··on Introducing Cloudflare Registrar
Thanks for the source. Still, I'm getting mixed signals from that article, I guess he did what he did and regretted it? Have they taken steps to prevent something like that from happening again?
triodan··on Introducing Cloudflare Registrar
Can you quote a source for that? I'd very much like the assurance for a claim like that.
triodan··on Intra, Dead Simple DNS Over HTTPS on Unrooted Android
I found this app earlier today and it's been working pretty great. It appears to be developed by Google's Jigsaw[0] organization and is surprisingly unknown.

Where I live quite a few sites are blocked by the government and while Drony[1] has been quite helpful it's incredibly outdated and, as per the latest update, become really ad-ridden.
