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
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.
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.
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.
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!
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!
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.
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.
