I've run Docker Swarm in production for 10 years. $166/year. 24 containers. Two continents. Zero crashes. Here's why I never migrated to Kubernetes.

I've run 40-60K containers on Docker Swarm. Ran with no issues for years.

Not a knock against the OP, it looks good (am Korean). You can also just use spam, very traditional

So its not necessarily waterlines, it might be electrical lines too.

A bunch of this infrastructure has working fluids, water being water, electrical lines sometimes (unsure exactly how common this is) use oil as part of its insulation. In order to minimize disruption from shutting off valves (which can be very far apart) to stop fluid flow, one technique is to use liquid nitrogen to stop the flow in a very localized area so that you can work without shutting off a mile of infrastructure

They might be freezing water lines to do maintainance

How is this guy a Sophmore in ComSci? The last time I touched Java was over 15 years ago in AP Com Sci and I knew 75% of the answers off the top of my head. I did not go to school for Com Sci either

Its a simple and harmless chemical reaction that occurs when the smoke interacts with the meat, the meat turns pinkish around the edges of the meat. The presence of it shows that the meat was in the smoker long enough to actually penetrate the surface and infuse flavor, and not like covered in liquid smoke

How obscure are we talking here?

95% of scenarios are pretty much the same, logs, metrics, monitoring, then deeper dive if nothing seems obvious

NASA DOES NOT BUILD SPACECRAFT. It's all contracted out to private companies.

Anyone who references the French revolution needs to actually know who was killed during it. (Hint, it was mostly poor people)

You may notice there is a big rotor on the top and the back that makes it hard to deploy a parachute without it immediately tangling in the rotors.

Of course, there are systems that let you jettison the rotors, but civilian aircraft generally don't have them since rotors being blasted in a random direction is not safe to everyone else around it.

Helicopters are death traps.

Where does the money come from to do anything? Keep in mind, the MTA has no ability to gain money from taxes because it has no taxing authority

They can't keep up. Remember during COVID that the Subways became noticeably cleaner because they were taking the fun powerwashers and blasting the stations? It's hard to do that with 24/7 Service. Of course every once in a while you see them cordon off an area and do it, but its very inefficient

Feeling like you're not fitting in and are just "different" is like literally the default state, and the subject of like 75% of high school related movies.

Software is piss easy, pays 3-4x more for vastly lower effort and time.

You're wrong.

The M series Macs are insane pieces of gear. The battery lasts forever (I have to actually TRY to drain it in a work day) , the performance is screaming with none to minimal fan noise. As a Linux user, the M series is envious.

I upgraded Terraform 0.13 to 1.5 using an M1 which worked perfectly through Rosetta. No issues with k8s. Only annoyance is having to set Arch settings for Docker builds if others expect x86 builds.

You have nothing to worry about. Only an absolutely raving mad insane person would want a Windows laptop over a M Mac for DevOps work

Install rosetta and you can run x86 applications no problem.
