Your two sibling comments are currently "Why is the comfort of the aggressor more important than the comfort of the innocent victim?" And "Yes." The assumption that some people in this thread are in favor of violence seems to be borne out.

Having spoken to a some people involved with the project, my understanding is that there's a significant schism between factions "Flakes are unfinished software, and our documentation should not focus on them" and "Flakes are what the majority of the userbase is using, and we should document them". I hope this will eventually get better if Flakes are ever stabilized.

The sheer iron of a post calling SV out for being thin-skinned manchildren immediately getting flagged on HN. Way to tell on yourself.

I don't believe anyone is arguing that advertising _doesn't work_.

> You treat the walk as the default

Is it unreasonable to treat “moving around with your body” as the default vs “moving around in a $x,000-x00,000 device”?

This counterpoint is also explicitly called out in GP's post:

> You might be thinking "Well that's just him, or people who are weird like him." but it turns out that other people often benefit from the same accommodations as disabled people, only less so. You can look up the term "curb cuts".

The waitress asked if they would ALL like dessert. If the first logician did NOT want dessert, then they could safely answer "no", because then it would not be the case that ALL of the logicians want dessert. Since they do not answer no, we can assume they do want dessert. The same follows for the second logician. The third (who also wants dessert) has heard their colleagues answer, and knows that if either of them did not want dessert they would have answered no, and can therefore now answer "yes, we would all like dessert".

I work for a startup whose product is small (half a dozen servers, if relatively beefy ones) clusters that will be run on-prem by customers, at least sometimes in a low-to-no-touch capacity. Most of our application components are micro-ish services that are run on all hosts in the cluster for either extra capacity or fault tolerance.

We currently run everything on mesos/marathon, but are looking to switch away from it. K8s is kinda the “default” option, and is potentially appealing to some potential acquirers and investors.

But I never really see k8s being talked about in that context of “physical hardware that’s on prem, but not on MY prem.” Is there a reason for that? If we go with k8s is it going to bite us? Does anyone have experience with something like that they could share?
