Readit NewsKubernetes is available as a managed service in AWS, Azure, Google etc and this is likely to be the most popular deployment model.
By any definition this is a PaaS and if you add in custom monitoring, logging, security, ingress etc. is going to be just as simple and significantly cheaper than using a managed solution.
If you're just building a basic website then sure it's an overkill but fewer people are building those these days.
I think we learned the answer to that question last winter down in Texas.
On the other side, it's interesting to note that beautiful walkable bikeable Amsterdam was a traffic and cars hellhole up until the 70s. Nothing has to be permanent.
The news has for the most part has not called out Biden’s many missteps. Not even John Oliver is making fun of it.
That little scam is used by my local hospital also. If you don't ask for a specific doctor when you make an appointment you get a PA (Physician's Assistant). Then they bill the same amount as a doctor would. The justification is that the PA has access to a doctor if needed. So presumably you are getting the same level of service, since the PA can talk to the doctor if needed, so this expands his abilities to the same level as a doctor.
This practice is legal. To avoid getting a PA specifically ask for a "MD Doctor". If you don't say "MD" they will give you a PA even if you ask for a "Doctor".
Very interesting comment. This sentence about dominance in a field made me think of Stu Ungar, who dominated Gin Rummy so completely that he had to switch to Poker (where he became a 3-time world champion) to meet interesting adversaries.
I couldn't find an exact reference for the following quote, but still: "Some day, I suppose it's possible for someone to be a better No Limit Hold'em player than me. I doubt it, but it could happen. But, I swear to you, I don't see how anyone could ever play gin better than me."
Typically, both people walk, using good Bluetooth headphones.
I was finding the combination of staring at the screen while coding, and then also during meetings, to be very straining.
Something about having to focus intently on the screen during a 1:1 was particularly tiring. Maybe because it's socially rude to look away while the other person is talking, so you end up really staring at the screen?
Now, instead, during a walking meeting, I exercise and get to look into the distance.
The most surprising thing for me was the ability to have technical conversations like this. I expected we'd really suffer without a whiteboard. Sometimes this is true, but I find we can have a lot of very technical conversations with voice only, and actually it's often easier than with video chat - because with voice only, I can focus more on the technical issues being discussed.
Finally, there are some days where I have a couple of hours walking meetings scattered throughout the day, and this is a lot of extra movement, which has to be good.
I wish there were more employers experimenting with different communication modalities like this; I feel the pandemic for all it's costs, has shown there are some great opportunities for other ways of working which have been underexplored.
