What everyone is getting wrong about the Mac mini’s hidden power button

Apple's redesign of the Mac mini has been met with criticism about the moved power button.
The design decision to place the power button on the underside of the Mac mini instead of the back wasn't just about aesthetics.
Apple's approach to design is “form and function,” believing they go hand-in-hand to create a better experience for the user.
In creating devices that are beautiful, Apple aims to hide behind-the-scenes elements of the user experience.
Hiding the power button allows the user to focus on the actual task they are undertaking, rather than being interrupted by the start-up process.
Apple has put the user experience first, even if it means adding a minor inconvenience that most people won't even notice.
The company is confident that the benefits of its design choices will be felt every time a user interacts with its products.
Apple's experience-focused approach is also why the Magic Mouse has an upside-down charging port.
Apple is betting that the benefits these designs bring will overshadow any minor inconvenience they might cause.
In short, Apple prioritises the overall experience of a product and aims to make its devices feel amazing from start to finish.

Introduction to Kubernetes and AWS EKS - Part 1

This article provides an overview of Kubernetes and its key concepts, including pods and nodes, as well as a brief introduction to Docker and containerization.
Kubernetes is an open-source platform used to automate the deployment and scaling of containerized applications, while Docker is an open-source tool that automates application deployments and management.
A Docker image is a package of an application with all its dependencies, which can be run in any system, while a container is an isolated environment in which the image runs.
To create a Docker image, you need a Dockerfile that includes commands to specify the base image, set environment variables, install dependencies, and more.
You can use Kubernetes to manage the lifecycles of containers across multiple machines and automate deployment and scaling of containerized applications.
Key Kubernetes concepts include pods, which represent a single instance of a running process, and nodes, which are working machines in Kubernetes where pods are deployed.
You can interact with a Kubernetes cluster using kubectl, which is a tool to interact with the control plane.
AWS EKS is a managed Kubernetes service that allows users to easily create Kubernetes clusters and deploy containerized applications.
To deploy an application in an EKS cluster, you can create a deployment file and a service file, both defined using YAML, to manage the deployment of the container.
After applying the YAML files to the cluster using kubectl apply, you can verify the deployment of the container and access it via an external IP.
