This is basically just a post which links to John D. Cook's post What happens when you add another teller?, because I always have to search for the link.
Anyway, just in case this very nice post ever vanishes, this is one of the most important possibly counterintuitive facts one …
moreOne of the main reasons micromanagers and decision delayers claim for wanting people come to offices, is the so called creative exchange. Brainstorming and putting funny colored pieces of paper with ideas on cardboards is not only a favorite exercise of middle school teachers trying to have an easy day …
moreMaybe not best practices. But some practices. Some mentions of the worst practices.
This is a small collection of things that worked for me, my colleagues and most people I talked to, as well as some things that do not work, at least not beyond a single-dev-play-around-installation or your typical …
moreWhen it comes to increasing fitness for everyday tasks, the first things that come to mind are usually classical endurance activities, like low intensity steady state (LISS) cardio or sometimes even high intensity training (HIIT). A dreaded proposition for any lifter that is looking to improve fitness for every day …
moreWhen setting up a HA control plane with kubeadm one would expect that the
controlPlaneEndpoint is being used in all places.
However, this is not true (I suspect at one point it will be fixed, but I have
not tracked down the corresponding change in the code).
Thanks to my …
moreProblem: Conferences are often a waste of time and you do not want to be the dude that only asks questions to ask questions. A big problem here is the misconception that conferences are to bring people together and make them network, but this is not true.
The purpose of …
moreApparently books are something people are interested in and usually when you go online and search for recommendations, you always get the same shit. So here is a list of books remarkable enough for me to make a recommendation against them, for them or how to use them.
I will …
moreThis is the fourth and final part of this little series of introducing kubernetes to system operators. In the first post I gave an overview about the general structure of a kubernetes cluster. The second post deals with managing ingress networking, as exposing services to the outside world is something …
moreThis is part three of my small high level Kubernetes introduction. In the first post I gave an overview about the control plane and in the previous post I explained how we can get traffic into our cluster.
In this post we will answer the basic question: When pods can …
moreIn the previous post I gave a rough overview about the control plane of a kubernetes cluster, as well as some explanation on how to think about it.
Why a post about this? Can't I just create a loadbalancer Service and everything works? Or just create an ingress with the …
moreIn this series of posts I want to give a small introduction into Kubernetes. I am fairly new to Kubernetes and the first platform I designed just went into production and I found most of the introductory literature not so helpful in this process. My memory is still fresh on …
moreWhen it comes to software I usually hate pretty much everything and I was born the proverbial grumpy old man yelling "get off my lawn". Especially in times where people have succumbed to atrocities like the initsystem that is everything, but a functioning initsystem, the sound management software that breaks …
moreThis is a topic which somehow still confuses people and there is a lot of seemingly contradicting advice. The main problem is that bodyweight fluctuates daily, but the best solution people came up with is doing weekly averages or, worse, only to step on the scale once a week. I …
moreMost people somewhat involved in strength sports are familiar with the term periodiziation [1]. To cite the first sentence of Wikipedia on it, it is the systematic planning of athletic and physical training, but for the rest of the article, I assume that the reader is somewhat familiar with the …
moreAs most trainees know there are different ways on how to prescribe or measure the weight on a bar. This is a small glossary of terms one encounters frequently, as it probably be also can be found elsewhere on the web, but well, now I have a link handy.
