Awesome site.

What’s one thing most people get wrong about k8s that makes learning unnecessarily difficult?

Check out privacy.com, you can make your own cards. One per service if you want.

How did you solve the Minecraft issue?

At a certain point cash isn’t an incentive. Autonomy, Mastery and Purpose become much bigger rewards. Check out Drive by Daniel Pink.

Any idea where those could be located on the us side of the border in Detroit?

Ther are plenty of well documented uses for quantum computers, the hardware is just too nascent to fully accommodate them. The most powerful quantum computers today still only have just over 1,000 qbits.

Id like to contribute to a large project like Linux or python by writing docs, testing or some other non development activity. Is that possible or needed? How would I go about doing that?

A “No network required” insignia is in order.

I don't think Apple predicts the future as much as it drives the future. Just my opinion.

When the iPad came out I thought to myself "Who needs a big iPhone? also, god what a dumb name, 'iPad'. Apple really missed the mark on that one." Welp, I was wrong then. I don't personally see myself using this but that doesn't mean it is not going to be successful. I'll just wait and see.

I have found some solace in gardening that helps me accept mortality.

Life and death is around you every day in a garden.

When you start seeds, some turn to seedlings, some don't. Some seedlings die, some live. If you are as bad of a gardener as I am, you plant triple the seeds so hopefully some germinate and grow, the weak ones I just pluck out and compost. Some of those seedlings thrive and become big healthy plants, some never really amount to much and they die early. Blight killed a lot of tomato plants a few years ago. The soil is teeming with life that is thriving because of decaying (dead) plant matter. I few years ago I bought 500 worms for the garden. They eat dying plant matter and turn it into amazing compost. Some worms died before I could get them in the ground, some helped my cucumbers grow to 15' tall. Living, but, destructive pests do not live long in my garden, but helpful insects are welcome. I plant a pollinator garden just for them. Then, at the end of the season everything dies. In the spring it all stars again. You get to see the entire circle of life play out every day and then again every season. It has a training effect on me. Some people go to church for answers, I water tomato plants.

It has given some comfort to know I'm part of a bigger organism and my death will perpetuate life of another kind, if I choose to let my body feed life.

Also, if you are young and reading this, when you hit 50, and/or when you have kids, that's when mortality really hits you. But that's when you are (usually) most able to positively impact others. The point of life is to have kids and perpetuate our species. The meaning of life is to help others. I mean locally, help other people. People near you. Your mother or your neighbor or the mailman. Maybe you have little impact on the entire world but you can make a huge impact on a person very near you. Do that enough and when you are dying one day you will think of their faces and the faces of the kids you helped and accept the unknown and that you did the best you could.

Is that the point of .Net Core? No platform specific dependencies required?

Less abortions + more guns = more deadly crime (soon).

regarding caffeine, I noticed that if I drink caffeine at any time during the day it has some effect on the quality of my sleep. Removing it completely has made a profound difference in my sleep quality. YMMV.

I feel like the problem has more to do with big players owning the app stores. They have access to all of the data that allows them to know which apps are popular and profitable. It's easier for them to know which apps to knock off; the own the data that tells them that.

Having less options because one giant company ate up all the small companies is always bad for consumers. Competition is good for consumers. Monopolies are good for corporations.

This used to simply be called "It isn't polite to talk about politics". Most people are compassionate and simply don't want to upset others or ruin a pleasant visit.

How do we get programmers to use bank teller software?

LOL thank you for this. Watching it now, hilarious and as usual Carlin is spot on.

Yep I moved into a house that was over double the size of my last house and somehow I'm out of room again.

You have a concrete deck? I'd like to see a photo of that!

I have no idea what people are supposed to do with all of the empty space in a giant house

They fill it with shit they don't need. Kudos to you.

A few things that have helped me.

1. Have a one-on-one meeting with every member of your team, for 30 minutes each week. They know when that meeting is coming up, and you know, so things that they want to tell you in private can come up then.

2. A good leader anticipates what his team is going to need before the team knows they need it. Try to do that. If there's a big release coming up next month, do what you can to make that 100% successful. Make sure there are no vacations, company meetings or other things that would impede that. Give your team room to breathe and make sure they are not bogged down with distractions.

If you can make their lives easier, they will make your life easier by kicking ass for you.

3. Oh, one more thing. If you are in a meeting and you are having a group discussion on how to solve a problem, make sure you call in people who are quiet. After the conversation has quieted down a bit and you are dialing in on an answer, if Jim hasn't said much simply say "Jim what do you think?"

Are you sure about that? I had the same reaction but then I starting thinking about all the horrible life-altering things a person could do to earn something like that. The penal system isn't perfect but it's what we have.

If I were Lyft I would fairly quickly start plastering "Build in America" everywhere. If it isn't true, I would make it true.

I know it is probably not healthy but I am very much enjoying this social isolation. I suppose that makes me an introvert, but, I love spending time with my young son each day. Someone said 'hell is other people'. Although I don't think that is strictly true, boy, this has been a nice break. I feel fantastic.

Do you stare deeply at a red light OR do you stare at a light that is the color deep red? If traffic lights count, I should be able to see through walls by now!

Make sure you are tired. No caffiene that day and get up early. I did the sleep test with all the wires and video on me and it did not bother me once I got used to it and realized it was good for me. Also, they have take home sleep tests now so really there's no excuse. It could save your life, please do it!

Yes, get a CPAP. You have to go to a sleep doctor, get tested and then you can get one. I have one and it absolutely changed my life, nearly everyone says that. It effectively fixes obstructive sleep apnea.
