He did it because it gave him, as a YouTuber, a great video camera for a very good price.

It is a real problem. The questions is for whom? For the majority of canon R5 buyers? I doubt that.

Thats not the problem this would solve. As long as the node runs and the pod itself runs and there is no issue with a pod with a higher priority, k8s will not throw it from that node.

But imagine a database as a pod with 60gig of ram and a ha setup. Now you need to update your node, what does k8s? It will throw it out and creates a new one which needs to recover or read all the logs to fill up 60gig of ram again from nothing. Instead it could migrate this pod to another node and keep the downtime to a minimum.

Or a jenkins master, it has to shutdown on node 1, recreate to node 2 which takes time and then your agents need to be able to recover from it.

You have to be able to roll through your whole k8s infrastructure to update every node on a regular basis; Alone for security reasons.

Its not build as a film camera and its not a film camera. Its a picture camera.

The market segmentation is totally different for that.

I would still buy it. I have a Canon 80d and 90d and i rarely do any video recording at all. why? Because just a recording ready body doesn't give you good video. You need audio equipment etc. and 8k video is huge like wtf huge.

Thats crazy; Are you using it as your daily primarly work horse?

I can't imagine how you got used to the performance you have right now. Either you are not doing anything with your device or you would hugely benefit of upgrading at least every 3 years or so.

Working from home on a friday is probably the biggest reason for a lot of people i guess.

Meetings, is another one.

Doing presentations.

Also for me at least: On-Call.

I would prefer a workstation at home and a lightweight laptop with company network access but hey my companie prefers to buy me a Laptop for 3k over a desktop for 1k and a light laptop for 1k.

What can i do? yeah nothing :)

Its such a hard comparision though.

You are running the newest of the newest.

My Lenovo Thinkpad X390 which i'm sitting on right now for a while, still has ~8h left to go.

Chrome with 30 tabs, intellij etc. open and running.

I do assume the M1 is doing a great job, don't get me wrong, but i would like to see a more objective comparison.

Personally speaking, the most interesting thing for me to see is that Apple now put a very strong SoC on all its models. From Air to Pro, with a relative good price point (as long as you don't upgrade anything...)

Huh? Is there anything to support your assumption?

It is not an excuse for the 1% but it still means that today way more people are better of.

You have to work less today for the same things then in the 70s.

We have great shiny things like the internet; Video, Computer games, a lot more music, everyone can vote, smoking indoors is not normal etc.

We are living in a different world. Its not feasible to compare it to a time 50 years ago.

I prefer this time honestly.

It is a camera for taking pictures.

It is stated on their website.

The main market for this camera is probalby not 8k video.

Its also hard to determine if this is a real issue for canon or if its just an issue in a circle of people who are more vocal about it.

Its quite clear that canon engineeres or managers are aware how to build it like this.

I haven't even started watching this video and had the same thought of transporting the heat through the bottom.

Whatever made canon made it like this, was on purpose.

Either the concentrated on picture for the most time and realized to late and it would have required rebuilding core parts and not getting it out in time or they will bring out a camera/pro version to this with unlimited 8k recording and with a higher price.

The assumption that a hobby engineer can solve this issue while canon can't, is not realistic.

Based alone on the original firmware approach, i would argue that time or priority was the issue.

Making pods mutable would break the core benefit of what kubernetes imperial system does for you.

This GitOps 'nonsense' gives me a well defined and automatically backuped infrastructure setup with audit build in. It doesn't allow someone to snowflake around which is brilliant and forces you and your colleges to manifest stuff and not forgetting it and degrading your system over time (nix and nixos are also great examples of such systems)

This reminds me of the time i learned html and wanted to set new lines all over a text instead of using proper paragraphs and letting html take care of the proper formatting.

I would like to see a better/stronger statefulset though. As long as this pod is alive, make sure its state is not interrupted. Like allow a pod to be migrated to another node.

Nonetheless, i'm in the middle of setting up kubernetes with kubeadm and cilium network. Its already really easy to do so. It will just get more easy and more stable over time and its already great.

When you look at the storage example: yes its more difficult then just using a hard drive. But you ignore the issue with one hard drive: Backup, checksum / bit rot and recovery. With a storage layer, you can actually increase replica count, you can backup ALL storage volumnes automatically.

the same with networking: With cilium you can now have a lightweight firewall with dns support.

It is much more critical for the whole industry to start rebuilding software to be more cloud/container native. This will reduce the pain points we have right now and will make it more resilient to operate. For example Jenkins: Instead of one big master, have a ha setup for your working queue, a pod for a dashboard and schedule workers on demand.

My personal conclusion: Don't use it, if you don't need it. If you need it, embrace the advantages.

I don't think what you are doing is good. I think its contraproductive.

This narrative of 'is a doctor' doesn't make that person an expert.

In a global pandemic like this, i think, you need an expert group of people with a min and max size. Those people need to be in the right position to have access the most amount of data and they need to make suggestions and predictions as accurate as possible. This then needs to be taken by the current government to decide what to do.

Your type of 'doctors' shouldn't comment on it like they are experts; They should start doing research with proper tools and statistics to support the expert group at the top.

It is easy to say something doesn't work after a few days or weeks. Its just not helping. If experts are trying this, the chance, that your opinion was a fluke and now matches your expected outcome, doesn't make you an expert.

All those shitty people thinking wearing a mask is a absolut no go and strips them of their rights are a real problem.

In germany on the 'querdenker' people brought up and compared themselfs with anne frank and sophie scholl because of this. She was 22 when she was killed by the nazis through a guillotine in munich as a student because of distributing anti-war flyers.

Seeing this is one of my most frustrating experiences with our society so far. While there are a lot of people following those simple requests, its astounding how irrational people are in the usa.

I like that thought of yours 'dealing with terminal illness can lead to its own kind of detachment from reality and all sorts of stress.'
