iOS 14.2 has finally killed the long-dying StackOverflow app. Sad :(

Are there any Kubernetes UIs actually being maintained anymore? Octant seems to been have stripped of resources, Infra is dead, K9s is in community-split-limbo, Kubenav never got beyond a one-person project. Kubernetic is still going but new features not in the desktop app. Sigh.
Lens - The Kubernetes Platform@k8slens

📣 New Release! One important change: We now require Lens Desktop users to have a Lens ID. This will not impact your current Lens Desktop functionality, however it establishes a foundation for Lens to enable teamwork, collaboration, and other exciting new features. (Thread)

Did you know that there is no definitive rule set for the Royal Game of Ur? At RoyalUr.net we chose Bell's path with the simple rules due to its popularity. However, we have plans to add all pictured paths, and eventually even the complex rules proposed by Finkel!

@glyph @gotyaoi It's kind of like the "use a coin flip to probe your internal biases" thing maybe? Use deployment fear to find the problem spots in your pipeline.

@gotyaoi also though as I just said to @kantrn : the point I'm trying to make is focused very much on having the conversation about where the real dangers are for future deploys, *not* on pushing for the current deploy-under-discussion to go ahead

Okay I guess it's a holiday week time for some Deployment Discourse

@glyph That’s fair, I think the more holistic view is to see these systems as built to a spec and if you don’t know your spec for yours, for the love of $deity you should figure that out and document it.

@kantrn I've watched real people slide down this slope into the spike pit at the bottom :). I don't think it's that unusual; recoiling from the risk of deploys and mitigating it by delaying for longer and longer is such a common antipattern that it's in every continuous delivery talk

@glyph So I’ve you’ve hardened your system for “Friday deploy” as an acceptable risk level, I don’t think it follows that holidays should also be included. I would need to substantially lower my risk thresholds for much less benefit. I appreciate the parallels though.

@glyph Sure but that sounds like a slippery slope argument :) for any given deploy that’s a reasonable assertion but big holidays have a vastly magnified downside and usually a reduced upside (or at best, baseline).

@glyph How safe is safe enough and what’s the cost-benefit? I could deploy today and it would probably be fine but almost nothing would be lost by waiting a few days and quite a bit is lost by being wrong.

Don't just joke and assume it's bad and that everybody who deploys on friday is an idiot. Don't deploy friday if it's not safe for you, but accept *that is a problem* and you should be writing down the things you expect will go wrong, and how to create pre-deploy tests for them.

This is all a reach, the far more likely answer is there is no plan, his ego is the size of a small moon, and everyone involved is just this incompetent. But I guess it's still good to game out how this could end up as a Problem™ rather than just a hilarious broken website.

Like his whole "Twitter should be a bank" nonsense, who would even consider doing that? Well there is a whole segment of the market already primed to think that real actual banks are evil and putting your money in TwitBank will own the libs.

Going to shoot my shot and guess that Twitter isn't going to actually die, but will be taken down "for maintenance" for a week or two and come back as an explicitly right-leaning platform.
