I count 13 steps, so it just means you're gonna trip up on 3 of them...

[–] db2@sopuli.xyz 41 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

15 steps. You're not counting the top, and the bottom is step 0 and we all know counting starts there.

We are on a programming sub of a federated and open source reddit clone. We are all nerds.

[–] ripcord@kbin.social 14 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I assume it was meant as a compliment.

[–] jerome@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

(i said it with love)

[–] UnRelatedBurner@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 year ago (2 children)

sometimes i start my iterator with = -1. As I only +=1 it with a condition and I know that it will return true on the first cycle. I'll chuck array[iterator] and need it to be 0 to start with ofc.

I just have no idea how to not do this, but it looks so bad, i need a i8 instead of a u8 at least because of this

[–] Kache@lemm.ee 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

What? My intuition is there's always gotta be some equivalent nicer refactor that could do away with such an awkward construct.

In what kind of situation would that be totally unavoidable?

I could tell you my recent cenario, but it wouldn't get us anywhere. because I know that it's avoidable, but it'd take for me to run a different logic for only first element of my array. which is doable, but it'd make the code like 5 extra lines longer, harder to read/follow. But I just simply choose to put -1 and boom it's fixed, just works.

another solution would be (without context) is to add one more variable and one more check to my foreach, but that takes more memory and cpu, I usually choose the i = -1, it's ugly but not as ugly as other solutions would be

[–] darcy@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

thats great unless you want i to be an unsigned integer

edit: oops u already mentioned that

[–] pec@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 year ago

That's accurate. There's always a few steps not included in the tutorial

[–] sj_zero@lotide.fbxl.net 36 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Unrelated, I love those stairs. They seem like a disaster waiting to happen but I love them.

[–] KIM_JONG@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

My grandma is so hip, she uses kubernetes.

[–] milkjug@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yo she alright but does she even know how to exit vim

“Seem?”

As an architect this is honestly insane. First rule is to do no harm, but someone obviously is a psychopath, and thats the designer.

There is no way that thin metal can even structurally support a person.

[–] GbyBE@discuss.tchncs.de 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Of course the metal can support a person. It's not like one side is floating in thin air. The way this is constructed, both sides of each step are supported and the metal seems thick enough to support quite a bit of weight.

The only thing that bothers me is that forward/backward motion of the steps would put a lot of strain on the connection to the wall or floor. With normal use, that motion is quite limited though.

I'm quite confident the designer of those stairs used the right thickness for the material used, which you can't judge from a picture.

[–] discostjohn@programming.dev 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

My concern would be if someone slipped and got their leg wedged between two of the steps

Yeah, I am, without sarcasm, super agile and coordinated. I would love to have these steps. It would be fun for me every time. And I'd feel so safe at the top of my tricky stairs. Unfortunately my wife would never. She'd just be trapped downstairs.

[–] ChickenLadyLovesLife@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I run 6 miles every other day. A local rails-to-trails path near me is exactly 2.5 miles long, so I have to find some way of getting in an extra mile on my runs. The trail ends at a real railroad track, so for a while I tried running a half mile on the track and back, between the rails landing on every other tie as I ran since the distance perfectly matched my stride. This went on for a couple of years until one day I was doing it and actually started thinking "wow, this is pretty amazing that I can do this and not fall". Not five seconds later I tripped and fell, landing both elbows and both knees on tie.

Somehow I was only bruised and didn't break anything, and after ten minutes of groaning I was able to drag myself up and even complete my run. That was my last time running on railroad ties though.

[–] PersnickityPenguin@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

You should try the Oahu Diamond Head hike then. Its like a half mile of hiking up a funicular track.

[–] LegionEris@feddit.nl 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah, never take it for granted. You gotta do it on purpose with your feet every time. Learning to purposely activate intuitive motion is the goal. In a way, they're extraordinarily zen stairs. You have to be right there on the stairs every time.

[–] sj_zero@lotide.fbxl.net 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

"My wife" aka the lady you brought down before the drugs wore off who can never leave your basement.

:P

[–] LegionEris@feddit.nl 3 points 1 year ago

Psh. The drugs never wear off. She smokes weed all day every day.

[–] GbyBE@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Perfect stairs to your man cave 🙂

[–] LegionEris@feddit.nl 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Except I'm not a man, and I don't have a cave. I'm a woman, and I have a cage. But it has to be accessible to my wife so she can let me out eventually o_o So again, no agility stairs allowed.

[–] GbyBE@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Sorry, I somehow failed to notice the [she/her]. Didn't mean to offend.

OK, but who can I sue if I suffer grave bodily injury while installing kubernetes?

[–] NegativeLookBehind@kbin.social 24 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Ok so just learn Kubernetes. And then realize that for it to be useful in a production environment, it needs like 10 other third party things, which you’ll also have to learn, and you’re done!

[–] u_tamtam@programming.dev 14 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Rule of thumb for kubernetes, if you are learning it "for fun" or on your own, you are not gonna need it :)

Thanks for saying that.....I thought I was the only one who thought like that.

[–] CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I just want to understand in detail what it is and how it works. Advice?

[–] u_tamtam@programming.dev 5 points 1 year ago

I've found it best explained in some stackoverflow answer mentioning the pet vs cattle analogy. In short, if you know how many servers you have from the tip of your tongue, and what they do more or less, then they are akin to pets: you treat them well and keep an eye on each of them.
Kubernetes is meant for when you have so many of them, that come and go without you even noticing or caring, bearing a number for the sake of production/cost control, this is cattle. Needless to say that this is not your typical app/company running at such a scale, and that there is a 24/7 team of "ranchers" keeping an eye on the herd.

[–] ramius345@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[–] CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Thanks. So TL;DR it allows you to set up a little cloud computing service on your own physical machines, minus load balancing which you have to add on?

[–] ramius345@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

It can be used to scale cloud computing services as much as you want. It's a scalable container runtime at its core. It provides a means for scaling an overlay network with service discovery and uniform ingress configuration.

[–] smik@discuss.tchncs.de 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

10 is a bit exaggerating. What do you really need?

ExternalDNS is nice so you don't have to config your DNS manually. You might need to install your own Ingress controller. If you want to automatically add and renew certificates cert-manager is great. Security is important! Speaking of, you should add some kind of secret management (something like sealed-secrets, vault or Secrets Store CSI Driver).

A really important thing is monitoring so you know your pods and the cluster itself is healthy. Prometheus is still king in that regard in my opinion. PromQL isn't that hard. Of course some kind of alerting like AlertManager is a must for prod environments. Be aware that the front ends of those tools are not behind a login so something like oauth2-proxy and dex is vital! You might want to have some visualisation too so Grafana is a nice addition. If you add Loki too you got your OPs covered.

Keeping track of all of your stuff is the hard part so some GitOps is highly recommended. ArgoCD or FluxCD are popular for a reason!

I think that should cover the basic setup so you may scale your CRUD app without worries!

[–] KIM_JONG@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

I think you covered at least 10 things.

[–] r1veRRR@feddit.de 21 points 1 year ago

Kubernetes is so easy! Unless you're insane enough to have any state at all in your app. But who does that?

[–] bacondragonoverlord@feddit.de 16 points 1 year ago

Aka Thighslitting nutcracker.

[–] FarceMultiplier@lemmy.ca 15 points 1 year ago

FWIW, I suspect these stairs have been photographed before adding wood steps that are deeper/wider. I base that on the low visible height of the bottom step. A 1.5-2 inch wooden slab would normalize the height of each step.

[–] Obi@sopuli.xyz 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm usually one to think folks exaggerate the dangerousness of strange staircases in posts like these, but yeah these are definitely gonna cause a few accidents.

K8s basics isn't that hard, but it builds on quite a bit of knowledge. And running anything of complexity to multiple nodes is going to take at least some intermediate tuning to get your app stable.

This is fantastic though.
