I think the author missed some key points:

1) It will take you longer than you think 2) It will be harder than you imagined 3) It’s harder to find people who know it and non-trivial to get good at it (this should have been closer to the top) your project can be done in six months by five k8s experts but you only found one dude who knows it and he’s more a’ight than pro.

It’s probably still worth it, just go in with your eyes open.

Be prepared for this unfortunate pattern: “this thing I want just doesn’t work and probably never will.

Deploying k8s on a small, self-contained project that you just want to set up and go forever is probably a good place to begin. If you try to move your whole production workflow in one go... You’re going to have a bad time.

I’ve worked in data centers. The constant air circulation causes dust to accumulate in visible places. I assure you, computers are not as sealed up and tidy as you’d think. We used to jokingly call the hard, thick, black dust “cancer”. It’s hard to know what’s in it without study, but when you manufacture something with dangerous materials some amount of that material makes it onto and into the finished product. I’m not advocating for alarm, but your po-pi-ing comment was designed to minimize and it demands counterpoint.

Also every American who dies of cancer or other major medical condition will have his or her lifetime savings wiped out by medical bills. So measure average net income minus expenses at time of death and I’d be surprised if we beat Bangladesh. They probably have a higher gross national happiness in life as well.

Eh?

Thanks, that’s good advice. I’m ok with an external apple Magic Trackpad. As long as I can bring my own device so to speak.

There’s an active project to make good trackpad drivers for Linux. I suspect I could get better performance from the x1 given some work. I’ll focus on that one. The dell latitude 7250 I suspect just has a crap trackpad.

I’m glad this came out. It’s easy to forget that weed causes harm. Just from my own experience, when I’m on it I can’t think straight, can’t track a sentence from beginning to end. I can’t imagine where I’d be if those effects had applied long term as my brain was developing. Actually I can imagine. I’d be incapable of doing the high-paid, satisfying work I do now. I’d be stuck doing toilsome work with nowhere to go and a feeling that there’s more but I can’t quite grasp it.

I have no love for the guy, but by all accounts he invented a lot of the core tech he stole.

No. This book ends suddenly half way through. I absolutely cannot recommend it.

It really depends on interest. What does your target audience care about? I’d recommend Sapiens to anyone, but it’s more of a thinking book than an escaping book.

Pihole on a raspberry pi ZeroW and ublock origin for desktop and Adblock plus for mobile.

I love ublock’s ability to easily block individual elements of a page such as distracting video or moving crap.

Also a self-healing saltwater friendly reaction. But keeping the rebar out is necessary as well.

It’s not if the stock is overvalued. Time will tell. I’m actually a Tesla shareholder. I bought it when I believed in their vision. Musk’s antics have caused me to rethink the wisdom of my position though. I wouldn’t be surprised by a crash in share price. Then again I’m not betting on it either.
