New comment by karangoeluw in "Apple kills the non-Touch Bar MacBook Pro"

karangoeluw — Tue, 09 Jul 2019 20:26:23 +0000

I am still using the 2013 MBP primarily because:

- It has ALL THE PORTS

- No gimmicky touch bar

- No butter-a$$ keyboard

If Apple doesn't revert these dumb changes, I will simply get a Dell or something else.

Moxie Marlinespike (Openwhisper Systems, Signal) makes a good argument for why that doesn't work https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=DoeNbZlxfUM. Recommend watching the whole talk.

At least I still blame living (human) beings for the warming.

Yeah let's just spread conspiracies because you don't want to put in the time to prove them.

I have always wondered which one is better:

1. Contribute early on little by little 2. Contribute nothing to very little for a while amassing huge fortunes (and compound interest magic), then donate big.

Pretty much the same question as lump sum vs dollar cost averaging in investing.

Have there been studies on this?

Honest q: What home-use workstation would use 32 cores? (Excluding home labs or servers).

I don't know enough about Juju K8s to really say similar it is. GKE On-Prem will be an OS image, set of containers, config, tooling and support.

> That being said, why would I not use the actual free upstream Kubernetes for my on-prem distribution ? (with the help of one of the thousands installer out there like kube-adm, kubespray, etc).

None of them actually provision your infra for you (VMs, LB rules etc). GKE On-Prem will.

What we have found out is that most on-prem customers are eager to move to the cloud. Practically it's not easy to just lift-and-shift. So think of this is a ramp to the cloud.

Now, the benefit of upstream K8s is that your dev team can build apps and containers without proprietary APIs; so when you are ready to move to the cloud you are not locked-in.

Let me know if you need a contact at Google to get started.

Not sure what you mean by "special hardware" but if your hardware is capable of running vSphere, GKE On-Prem should work for you.

Quick note though - We are exploring additional options, such as bare metal support, based on customer demand.

We are supporting vSphere in Alpha. However, we are exploring additional options, such as bare metal support, based on customer demand.

There are definitely enterprises looking to move away from virtualization. We have that in mind.

We are exploring additional options, such as bare metal support, based on customer demand.

Send me an email (karangoel [at] google) if you'd be interested in talking more about bare metal.
