Probably because if we didn't have the ability to forget and turn off often we would pretty quickly kill ourselves to end the horror of our existence?

Used kind + skaffold for 6 months and it was pretty solid. However, eventually switched to k3d and tilt and feeling like this combo is amazing. Cluster takes 2 seconds to create now.

I would recommend multistage build but with distroless as final.

dr01d | 6 years ago | on: Ask HN: Software teams, would you use this GitHub/Slack integration?
1. No sorry. Slack is already too chatty with bots and I end up leaving channels with git related output. I like to do git things in GitHub,gitlab, or terminal where I have full access to the toolsets. Email serves fine for notifications on PRs or things I have marked as watch.
2. No.
3. I don't think so. People seem to be quick to add these types of integrations but after 500 messages from git activity everyone ignores them or turns them off.
All my opinions of course. Maybe other people will love this.

I'm using opencv with facial detection running in the browser as JavaScript. The technology is here and isn't going away.
Realistically, smartphones are tracking everyone all the time and provide rich datasets. Camera, microphone, and GPS. If you turn off location services your phone still connects to cell towers, WiFi access points, and Bluetooth beacons, as you drive or walk around throughout your day.

You can turn off your phone. You can't turn off the 1000s of phones around you that you don't control. With cameras, microphones, and GPS.

> If I liked Alexa... I could see myself being into this product.
Whether you like it or not you will be in their product if people are walking around in public or at work while wearing these. Isn't the future great?

The value prop isn't for the consumer, it's for Amazon. Stuffing Alexa into anything and everything means more usage overall and a more attractive platform for companies looking to sell their wares.

The upside is the satisfaction of solving sometimes interesting problems. Some people do crossword puzzles, some play video games. A rare few write operating systems used by perhaps billions of people.

The media are the same ones who brought us the Kardashians. Find and read some books.

I would agree, but then I found this: https://vim-bootstrap.com/ and it is sooooo nice. I no longer have to think about configuring vim or managing plugins because it is done. Esp for golang.

I don't think it is taking an advantage away. New inventions mean new opportunities and doors opening not closing.

Nope. Video games IMO. Cheap awesome entertainment for basically everyone. Everyone can afford consoles and escape reality. Why act out aggression in real life and risk prison when video games let you do all that and more?
