A World Without Work
Type : epub |
Size : 4.61 MB |
English |
Descirption: From an Oxford economist, a visionary account of how technology will transform the world of work
From mechanical looms to the combustion engine to the first computers, new technologies have always provoked panic about workers being replaced by machines. For centuries, such fears have been misplaced. But as acclaimed economist Daniel Susskind demonstrates in A World Without Work, this time really is different: today's breakthroughs in artificial intelligence mean that all kinds of jobs are increasingly at risk. The threat of technological unemployment is now real.
This is not necessarily a bad thing, Susskind emphasizes. Technological progress could bring about unprecedented prosperity, solving one of mankind's oldest problems: how to make sure that everyone has enough to live on. But enjoying that prosperity will require planning for the economic disruption to com-and finding meaning in a world where work is no longer the center of our lives.

Kubernetes Operators - Red Hat version
Type : epub |
Size : 1.24 MB |
English |
Descirption: Operators are a way of packaging, deploying, and managing Kubernetes applications. A Kubernetes application doesn't just run on Kubernetes; it's composed and managed in Kubernetes terms. Operators add application-specific operational knowledge to a Kubernetes cluster, making it easier to automate complex, stateful applications and to augment the platform. Operators can coordinate application upgrades seamlessly, react to failures automatically, and streamline repetitive maintenance like backups.
Think of Operators as site reliability engineers in software. They work by extending the Kubernetes control plane and API, helping systems integrators, cluster administrators, and application developers reliably deploy and manage key services and components. Using real-world examples, authors Jason Dobies and Joshua Wood demonstrate how to use Operators today and how to create Operators for your applications with the Operator Framework and SDK.
Learn how to establish a Kubernetes cluster and deploy an Operator Examine a range of Operators from usage to implementation Explore the three pillars of the Operator Framework: the Operator SDK, the Operator Lifecycle Manager, and Operator Metering Build Operators from the ground up using the Operator SDK Build, package, and run an Operator in development, testing, and production phases Learn how to distribute your Operator for installation on Kubernetes clusters </ul>

Sharing the Beauty of China Chinese Calligraphy
Type : epub |
Size : 37.32 MB |
English |
Descirption: 书法是中国的国粹之一。中国书法何以风行于中华大地数千年,历百代而不衰,甚至超越了记事传言的基本功用,在用于日常书写之外,上升为一个世界上罕见的独立的艺术种类?它在发展过程中与中国人的审美情趣、价值取向乃至文化精神形成了怎样的水乳交融的关系?我们又应当怎样步入这纯由黑白两色构成而又奥妙无穷的艺术世界?本书从汉字的起源开始,深入浅出地介绍中国书法的源流、形成和发展,论述了书法的艺术范式和鉴赏法则。作者在本书中着重推介中国书法晋、唐、宋、清四个重要历史时期的代表书法家王羲之、王献之、褚遂良、颜真卿、苏轼、黄庭坚、米芾、康有为等,认为他们所倡导和实践的变革对中国书法不断攀上艺术高峰居功至伟。Calligraphy is the quintessence of Chinese culture. When the ancient Orientals carved the earliest abstract symbols on the walls of their cave houses, and on animal bones and tortoise shells, their symbolic action marked the beginning of the Chinese written language and civilization. At the same time, it indicated the beginning of the splendor of Chinese calligraphy. Why has Chinese calligraphy been able to survive several thousand years? How could it become a rare art independent of its functions for writing and recording events? What kind of close relations has it developed with the aesthetic standards, value concepts and cultural spirit of the Chinese people? How can we enter into this...
