I’ve worked with Swarm in a startup setting. It was an absolute nightmare. We eventually gave up and moved to Kubernetes.

That said, your use case does sound simpler. As I recall, we had to set up service discovery (with Hashicorp Consul) and secret management (with Hashicorp Vault) ourselves. I believe we also used Traefik for load balancing. There were other components as well, but I don’t remember it all. This was over 5 years ago, though.

The difficulty wasn’t configuring each piece but getting them to work together. There was also the time burned learning all the different tools. Kubernetes is great because everything is meant to work together.

But if it’s just two machines with separate configuration, do you even need orchestration? Is there a lot of overhead to just manage them individually?

Unfortunately, it was too long ago to remember the details of differences between compose and swarm. I do remember it was a very trivial conversion.

From the Wikipedia article on Russia’s playbook: “Foundations of Geopolitics”

Ukraine (except Western Ukraine) should be annexed by Russia because “Ukraine as a state has no geopolitical meaning, no particular cultural import or universal significance, no geographic uniqueness, no ethnic exclusiveness, its certain territorial ambitions represents an enormous danger for all of Eurasia and, without resolving the Ukrainian problem, it is in general senseless to speak about continental politics”. Ukraine should not be allowed to remain independent, unless it is cordon sanitaire, which would be inadmissible according to Western political standards. As mentioned, Western Ukraine (comprising the regions of Volynia, Galicia, and Transcarpathia), considering its Catholic-majority population, are permitted to form an independent federation of Western Ukraine but should not be under Atlanticist control.

No. I don’t want to transpile. I don’t want a bundle. I want a simple site that works in the browser. I want to serve it as a static site. I don’t want a build step. I don’t want node_modules. I want to code using the language targeted for the platform without any other nonsense.

Javascript is cancer. Fucking left pad?! How the fuck did we let that happen? What is this insane fucking compulsion to have libraries for two lines of code? To need configuration after configuration just to run fucking hello world with types and linting?

No, fuck Typescript. Microsoft owns enough. They own where you store your code. They own your IDE. They might own your operating system. Too much in one place. They don’t need to own the language I use, too.

“Let’s use a proprietary improvement to fix the standard that should have not sucked in the first place” is why we can’t have nice things.

No.

Why?

No one said anything about pulling SEA into a war. No one said anything about Europe forcing SEA like colonizers. Shit has changed in the past few decades.

NATO is a mutual defense pact. He’s just talking about setting up a similar defense pact in SEA and East Asia.

As mentioned, SEA is relevant because those nations have the potential to be China’s Ukraine.

SEA is likely to be open to some kind of mutual defense pact, as China has been testing borders for a long time, especially in the South China Sea. I believe the only reason they haven’t is because of smaller military, trade relations with China, and the unlikely support of East Asia. East Asia looks down on SEA. If Europe engages in more trade, offers military support, and mediates improved relations between SEA and East Asia, I think a mutual defense pact is all but given. That said, the trade and military support are a tall order.

In any case, this is basically reciprocal action. See the comment about dogs shitting in yards.

Okay, but what’s your current level of web development knowledge?

And if I’m understanding your website properly, it seems like you don’t have any kind of user generated content, yes? And if there were updates to the site, you would just make them yourself? If this is the case, then it sounds like frontend-only, and you can probably just use Vercel. If you’re going super simple, maybe even Github Pages would work.

Alternatively, is there any reason you’re not using a site builder like Wix or Squarespace?

I’ll give a more detailed answer.

Docker doesn’t help you in the development of the website. Docker helps you with the deployment of the website.

The purpose of Docker is to give you a consistent environment. When you create a Docker “image,” that image includes all of the files and software required to run the website. Then on some computer accessible by the public internet, you can just download that “image” and run your website using a “container” created from the image.

You can think of the image as the blueprint of all the bits and pieces needed to run your website. The container is basically all those pieces put into action to actually run the website.

Now, depending on your website, you may not even need Docker. If it’s frontend-only, you could use some service like Vercel, where you don’t even need Docker.

Can you share more info about your current level of knowledge and the website you want to make?

Sorry for the late reply, but thanks for the definition. I wasn’t aware of the prioritizing other ethnicities bit.

1. Whataboutism.
2. Commenter said Russian state, not Russian people.
3. I know you’ll ignore this, but this will help other readers sniff out your bullshit.

Aren’t most states ethnically associated…? Like… the US and Canada are anomalous. European countries are particularly accepting of other ethnicities but still have a core ethnicity. Asian countries are usually pretty homogenous. I imagine African countries are, too. Latin America, I’m not as sure.

Or am I misunderstanding the definition of ethno-state?

Sorry for the delay, busy days.

Yeah, fake postings are total bullshit. I still don’t understand the motivation for them.

As for having jobs up for months, I can understand that when a role has very specific needs. But if the roles specific needs haven’t been made clear in the job description, then yeah, that’s total bullshit

My job postings are usually up for two to three months, and the rejection rate is maybe around 80-90% for the resume review stage at the beginning. I’d like to think the job descriptions are clear, but that’s subjective. But do those sound like reasonable numbers to you, though? What do you think is reasonable? (Like I said, I want these opinions for my improvement)

Unfortunately, I haven’t hired for a service job, so I don’t have a complete perspective here. You mention “one of the first to apply.” For an imaginary job that requires no background, what do you think would be good reasons to reject a candidate or choose one over another?

Got it. Okay, that makes much more sense. Nothing new there for me, then.

When you say companies shouldn’t be “this selective,” what are you referencing that they’re being too selective about? If I’m being more picky than I need to be, I should stop, so I’m eager to learn something here

Can you share what kinds of questions you’re asking? Or at least generic versions of them?

100% this

And the same thinking applies to interviews, but that’s very difficult. My leadership sometimes gets surprised about how much I help interviewees, and I have to clarify to them that I don’t care about how good they are at interviewing. I care how good they are at the job.

Unfortunately, this makes my interviews super long, but we have arguably the best engineering team in the company.

Our new CTO was very skeptical of our long interviews and ordered us to shorten them. Fortunately, we had one scheduled already. He sat in on it and is no longer worried about our long interviews. He understood the value once he was able to see where the candidate stumbled and excelled in our … simulations? of the work. We try to simulate certain tasks in the interview, especially collaborative ones, to see how they would actually do the work. It’s really hard for us as interviewers to prepare and run, but it’s proven highly effective so far

All of this. When I tell people I meet that we don’t do coding tests, we instead do tiny assignments, they often get quite excited. It also seems to be way, way more effective

Do you have any qualifiers for that? Like “with sufficient time to learn” or something? Is there some kind of personal development that you think could enable that?

In my understanding, asking a chef to be a doctor or a software engineer to be an artist often doesn’t work great.

How selective do you think is appropriate?

To be clear: I’m a hiring manager for some specialized stuff. I’m genuinely curious about your perspective because I hope it can help how I do that work. I’m not trying to argue with you or prove you wrong or anything.

How are you defining “normal?”

I think the main thing is that Korea’s government still has some fear of its people, which is very, very important. Enough stupid moves and millions of citizens can be on your doorstep (see Park Geunhe).

Yes, there’s a bunch of corruption. Yes, working culture blows. Yes, birth rates have been tanking for a reason (but reversed recently?!).

But there’s a reason those soldiers heading to the parliament building had no ammo except one guy in a squad with less lethal rounds. There’s a reason the martial law was ended so quickly. There’s a reason Yoon is actually getting his on a reasonable timescale.

In Korea, once you hit that tipping point of people realizing you’re a dick, you’re gonna have a real bad time.

In case you were innocently using whataboutism without meaning to, here’s a tip to avoid it.

If you’re going to compare to the US or wherever, first ask yourself if that place was mentioned in the comment you’re replying to. If not, it’s whataboutism.

MechWarrior 2: 31st Century Combat

The Remembrance speaks to us on the evil of man’s will, of the reasons for Exodus, and the Rites of the Traveler. Arcadia is our destiny and our right. Enlightenment is our gift. By the Bloodnames of the founders we must return, return and protect that which is unique among the stars. Terra awaits us as it was written. We are the last of the Wardens, the sole hope for the Earth.

Wolves still prowl

The lack of policing ideas is what allowed Hitler to come to power. This is a result of the tolerance paradox. A tolerant society cannot tolerate intolerance, or it will erode into an intolerant society.
