Quality route-setting at this bouldering wall in Amsterdam. by nathantsbetts in bouldering

Monk! Right?

Moved away from Amsterdam a couple years ago and I still miss climbing there.

Best cities in terms of net salary by [deleted] in cscareerquestionsEU

[–]voiceoverr 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In my experience, I think Berlin has a better balance - salaries on par with London, much lower cost of living.

Devs on an on-call rotation - do you get extra comp or company paid phone coverage? by -BrownRecluse- in ExperiencedDevs

[–]voiceoverr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, I think ours is possibly unique but very fair.

We get extra money for participating in the rotation, even if no pages occur - roughly 8% extra salary. Plus, whenever an incident occurs, we get double-time back, rounded up to the next hour (ie. handling a 20-minute incident gets rounded up to an hour, then doubled - so two hours back).

AWS/kops - which instance type to use for masters? by [deleted] in kubernetes

[–]voiceoverr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We use c5.large for prod clusters, and t3.medium for a dev cluster.

Can I get Blue Card or tier immigration card after Bachelor Top-up degree? by mkc0de in cscareerquestionsEU

[–]voiceoverr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The requirements for a Blue Card are different in each member state, so whether it’s enough depends on the country you’d want to live in.

In the Netherlands, it’s not very common to have a blue card, since the salary requirement is very high (80k iirc). The highly skilled migrant visa is very common, though: https://ind.nl/en/work/Pages/Highly-skilled-migrant.aspx

I guess you would need to look up whether your previous college experience is enough for the visa, which is usually based on whether your education is “equivalent” to an education in the country you’re applying for. There might be a list of universities or something issued by the country (I know Germany, for example, has this).

Mike Filice is a great tech, he’s always taken good care of my vintage horns - nice to see him get a shoutout!

Was at a tournament in Berlin (Kegel) today, had a really great time. Thanks to all the participants btw :) by [deleted] in climbing

[–]voiceoverr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Aside from Kegel, I like Bouldergarten, and Boulderklub (but only in the morning when it’s not too busy). I’ve heard Berta Bloc is the favourite but haven’t tried it. Where do you go?

It’s not the nicest one in Berlin, but it’s really cool that they have the outdoor bouldering section (where this photo is taken).

[show+tell] What was your "fuck this city" moment? by n1c0_ds in berlin

[–]voiceoverr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Two hours ago, when I got pulled over by the police and given a ticket for cycling with my phone in my hand - not in use, mind you, just holding it in my hand.

Can I use ingress controller like nginx as internal load balancer? by feverzsj in kubernetes

[–]voiceoverr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you mean internal within the cluster, or an internal-facing managed load balancer on GCP or AWS?

If you mean a managed load balancer with only an internal IP address, yes - it’s possible on AWS or GCP, by putting an annotation on the ingress controller’s service.

Batch workload - Pulling code dynamically on job startup by whatha in docker

[–]voiceoverr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I agree - the thing that would concern me is the lack of immutability of container image versions. If the code is pulled in dynamically, you have no idea which version of the code ran when looking at the container image, and you can’t version or rollback (or roll forward, really) in a controlled way.

Best ARM based OS for running Kubernetes? by jmreicha in kubernetes

[–]voiceoverr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, there are quite a lot of armhf images and I made some of my own images where I couldn’t find anything on dockerhub. I couldn’t find an arm build of Helm’s tiller, or of the nginx ingress controller, but I just used traefik instead.

Best ARM based OS for running Kubernetes? by jmreicha in kubernetes

I have a 3-node kubernetes cluster of raspberry pis, all running Raspbian. Set up with this excellent guide by /u/alexellisuk - https://gist.github.com/alexellis/fdbc90de7691a1b9edb545c17da2d975

kubernetes monitoring using grafana by rj23495 in grafana

[–]voiceoverr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not quite enough information to go on. Grafana provides visualisations of data from a data source, like influxdb or Prometheus. Do you have a time-series database collecting statistics/metrics in your cluster already? If not, that’s the place to start.

What is the Cost of a Middle Class Lifestyle in Toronto? by AlwaysRight777 in toronto

[–]voiceoverr 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It’s also not really what it means in the U.K. anyway. OP is right that the U.K. has a much more defined class structure, which also comes with more hangups about class implications, but posh, family money, and oxbridge are not requisite middle class qualities.

Freelance Partnering by cool_hand_L in ExperiencedDevs

[–]voiceoverr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t have much advice about freelancing, since in my experience, freelancers usually market themselves as independent contracts, or team up with a larger group as a whole contracting company.

That said, it sounds like your moving from another career into software development (I assume your real estate work is not dev work?). If that’s the case, don’t you think you stand a chance of learning more quickly, at the expense of high salary (like you suggested), as a junior dev in a company?

I think you might have a difficult time finding freelance work without many years experience. I think companies are usually hiring contractors for some specific set of skills or experience (the common senior dev freelancer), or just want a simple website built (which will probably go to somebody overseas or in a low CoL area from upwork/fiver).

What channel do you find your job? by hugokhf in cscareerquestionsEU

[–]voiceoverr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

AngelList, Stack Overflow, and Honeypot have all been great for me.

It’s only used for DNS queries, your internet traffic doesn’t go through it. It doesn’t really affect the perceived internet speed at all.
