Kubernetes / Rancher much better way to copy data to PVCs

apiVersion: v1
kind: Pod
metadata:
  name: temp-pod
  namespace: CHANGEME-ns
spec:
  restartPolicy: Never
  containers:
    - name: temp-pod
      image: alpine:latest # Use a lightweight image
      command: ["sleep", "3600"] # Keep the pod running for 1 hour
      volumeMounts: # Mount the persistent volume
        - name: data
          mountPath: /data
  volumes: # Specify the persistent volume claim
    - name: data
      persistentVolumeClaim:
        claimName: CHANGEME-pvc

So basically trivial temporary pod done specifically to copy stuff to a PVC that auto-kills itself in 1h w/ no need to do anything for this — ty KM for this!¹

Then one can happily copy stuff from there using the usual:

❯ kubectl cp CHANGEME-ns/temp-pod:/data/project/train7/ .
# as well as 
kubectl exec -it temp-pod -n CHANGEME-ns -- sh

ADDITIONALLY, I had issues cp ing things larger than 6gb. Reminder to myself that one can tar things or just transfer in separate parts.

See also 240131-1535 Setup for Dockerfiles where you can look around before running for an overkill option for this that I wouldn’t use anymore ever. ↩︎

Naming conference rooms in your company after the illnesses you cure

TIL about a company naming conference rooms after the illnesses their product(s) cure — so e.g. a conference room “Depression” exists.

Damn I want to use this in some novel or short story I’ll write 20 years from now

A quick historical primer on the Ukrainian language
Copypasting this (still draft version) here in full, before radically shortening it for my master thesis.

Historical context and bilingualism in the modern Ukrainian language

L’Ukraine a toujours aspiré à être libre
“Ukraine has always aspired to be free.” Voltaire, 1731 ¹

This section describes the bilingual nature of Ukraine’s society and the impact of historical state policies on the modern development of the language.

The ongoing Russian invasion is viewed by many as a continuation of a long-standing historical pattern, rather than an isolated incident.

This section doesn’t attempt to justify or challenge any particular position regarding the events described, nor is meant to be a definitive account of the history of the language.

But I believe this perspective is important to understanding the current linguistic landscape in Ukraine, as well as the linguistic challenges and phenomena that had a direct relevance on this thesis. (TODO mention how and which tasks are impacted by this)

A historical overview
- todo: more synonyms for ‘policy’
- todo: better title
- todo: sources for everything-everything-everything
- sources
  
  1987 book about the entire topic [^@krawchenko1987social]
  
  Article The Executed Renaissance: The Book that Saved Ukrainian Literature from Soviet Oblivion | Article | Culture.pl
  
  Keeping a record is the best book on this [^@1130282272476965120]
In Ukraine itself, the status of Ukrainian (its only official language) varies widely, but for a large part of Ukrainians the question was never too much on the foreground (until recently, that is).

A significant number of people in Ukraine are bilingual (Ukrainian and Russian languages), and almost everyone can understand both Russian and Ukrainian.²
The reasons for this include Ukraine’s geographical and cultural proximity to Russia, and was to a large extent a result of consistent policy first of the Russian empire and the Soviet Union.

The suppression of Ukrainian in the Russian Empire

In the Russian Empire, the broader imperial ideology sought to assimilate various ethnicities into a single Russian identity (with Russian as dominant language), and policies aimed at diminshing Ukrainian national self-consciousness were a facet of that³. TODO source

Ukrainian (then officially called little Russian language/малорусский язык) was stigmatized as a (uncultured town folks’) dialect of Russian, unsuited for ‘serious’ literature or poetry — as opposed to the great Russian language (not editorializing, it was literally called that; these phrasing applied to the names of ethnicities as well, Russia as great Russia and Ukraine as little Russia; the extent to which this referred broader cultural attitudes is a discussion out of scope of this Thesis). (TODO footnote to ‘War and Punishment’ for more on this)

The history of Ukrainian language bans is long enough to merit a Wikipedia page itemizing all the attempts, ⁴ with the more notable ones in the Russian Empire being the 1863 Valuev Circular (forbidding the use of Ukrainian in religious and educational printed literature) and the Ems Ukaz, a decree by Emperor Alexander II banning the use of the Ukrainian language in print (except for reprinting old documents), forbidding the import of Ukrainian publications and the staging of plays or lectures in Ukrainian (1876). (TODO sources for both)

The redefinition of Ukrainian in the Soviet Union
- TODO [^@marshall2002post] has many sources for this! The first decade of Soviet Union brought Ukrainisation as part of a new Soviet nationalities policy, and the use of Ukrainian in different areas was promoted. The reason for this was chiefly ideological — the ghosts of the old empire were considered a danger and encouraging formerly-suppressed cultures was one way to fight them — but nevertheless, this period led to a short-lived period of flourishing for Ukrainian literature and culture in general.
The 1928 grammar reform (sometimes called Skrypnykivka after the minister of education Skrypnyk) passed during this period, drafted by a commitee of prominent Ukrainian linguists, writers, and teachers synthetized the different dialects into a single orthography to be used across the entire territory.

The Ukrainian writers and intellectuals of that period became known as “the executed Renaissance”: most of them were purged in the years to follow, after the Soviet Union took a sharp turn towards Russification in the late 1920s and in the multiple waves of purges that followed. (Most prominent members of committee behind Skrypnykivka were repressed as well; Skrypnyk himself committed suicide in 1933.)

A new ‘orthographic’ reform was drafted in 1933. It had the stated goal of removing alleged burgeoise influences of the previous one. Andriy Khvylia⁵, the chairman of the new Orthography Commission described in his 1933 book “Eradicate, Destroy the Roots of Ukrainian Nationalism on the Linguistic Front” (TODO source) how the new reform eliminates all “deadly conservative norms established by nationalists” that “focused the Ukrainian language on the Polish and Czech borgeois cultures (…) and set a barrier between the Ukrainian and Russian language”.

In practice the reform brought the Ukrainian language much closer to Russian in many ways:
- Grammatically, by introducing relatively major changes in declension paradigms, plurals, especially targeting grammatical structures absent in Russian. The letter ґ (absent in the Russian alphabet) was dropped.
- Changes in the vocabulary were also massive: the spelling of foreign-derived words and proper names were changed to fit Russian patterns. For example, the German diphthong ei (IPA: [aɪ], approx. English “eye”), in Ukrainian ай with the same sound, became the Russian ей (IPA: [ɛj], approx. in English “they”), changing surnames like Einstein / Айнштайн (IPA: [ˈajnʃtajn])[^44] to Ейнштейн (IPA: [ˈɛjnʃtɛjn]). Genders of words were changed.
- Terminology: there was an effort to eliminate Ukrainian-specific vocabulary, much of which was just replaced with the (sometimes completely different) Russian equivalents. This was quite explicit, to the point that publishing houses regularly received lists of words to avoid. This increased the dependence of Ukrainian on Russian science.
Many Ukrainian writers, poets and dissidents kept using the ‘old’ orthography, as well as the Ukrainian community outside the Soviet Union.

After the fall of the Soviet Union, there were many proposals for restoring the original orthography, but only the letter ґ was restored. In 2019 a new version of the Ukrainian orthography was approved, which restored some of the original rules as ’legal’ variants but without mandating any of them.

While the two languages are mutually intelligible to a large extent, knowing one doesn’t automatically make understand the other - most Russians can’t understand Ukrainian nearly as well as Ukrainians undestand the Russian language, for example. ↩︎

(by no means the only one — but the stories of other victims of Russia’s imperialism are best told elsewhere, and for many ethnicities, especially ones deeper inside Russia’s borders, there’s no one left to tell the story) ↩︎

LaTeX best practices and compression
Use 260330-1938 LaTeX paper final checklist at the end!

  Natbib reference sheet

  “The great, big list of LaTeX symbols”(PDF)

EDIT: this is becoming a more generic thingy for everything I’d ever need to refer to when writing a paper, TODO clean this at some point.

Resources – DREAM Lab links to https://dream.cs.umass.edu/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/Tips-and-Best-Practices.pdf. Until I set up a system to save PDF info, I’ll paste it as screenshots here:

ChatGPT summarized the relevant pages of the PDF file thus, but didn’t do it well, mostly rewriting myself:

General Formatting
- \emph{} is better than \textit{} always, and supports nesting.
- Smart Quotes: Use `x’ and ``x’’ for single and double quotes respectively.
- Large Numbers: Write large numbers as 54{,}000.
- Word Breaking: Use - to suggest hyphenation points in long words, including ones that already have hyphens inside them. Such words are likely to go over margins etc.: multi-discipli\-nary
  
  EDIT: If I don’t want a word to get broken, use mbox: \caption{Worldwide distribution of \mbox{plantNaturalist-}500k}¹
  
  EDIT2: the extdash package is even better, same link
  
  EDIT3: If you want to allow linebreaks somewhere but without a dash and only if needed, it’s long\allowbreak word²
- Overflow Lines: \begin{sloppypar}... for paragraphs where latex goes over the margin.
- Float Positioning: Place figures and tables at the top of the page for readability: \begin{figure}[t]
- Center Align Floats: Use \centering for aligning tables and figures.
Specific Elements
- Non-Breaking Space: Use the tilde (~) to keep words together, including always
  
  before citations: sth~\cite{whatever}
  
  after numbers in text
  
  before figure/section references
- Emphasize vs. Bold: Prefer \emph over bold or \textit.
Macros
- Macros: Create macros for things that will be changed later, such as DATASET NAMES, or things tedious to type like MODEL NAMES .
- \newcommand{\system}{SQuID\xspace} for auto-space
  
  \xspace guesses whether to add a space or not, \usepackage{xspace}. May fail in unexpected places.
  
  Explicit is always better: \system{} or \system\ manually adds a space.
\newcommand{\llama}{Llama-3.3-70B-Instruct} \newcommand{\mistral}{Mistral-Small-3.1-24B-Instruct-2503} Two models, \llama{} and \mistral. % note spacing!
Spacing and Sizing
- Paragraph Spacing: Use \smallskip, \medskip, and \bigskip, instead of \vspace
- Line and Text Width: Use fractions of \linewidth or \textwidth.
- Resizing Tables/Figures: Use \resizebox with appropriate dimensions.
Compression hacks
- (see pictures)
- Make spaces smaller around lists:
\begin{itemize} \setlength{\itemsep}{0pt} \setlength{\parskip}{0pt}
- huggingface.co can become hf.co in footnotes!
Paper writing hacks

Non-breaking spaces

best practices - When should I use non-breaking space? - TeX - LaTeX Stack Exchange lists ALL the places where Knuth wanted people to put nonbreaking spaces, incl:
- 1)~one 2)~two
- Donald~E. Knuth
- 1,~2
- Chapter~12
Less obvious and not from him:
- I~am
Also:
- before all cites, refs
- … and inlined equations
Citations
- ChatGPT says that citations should come before footnotes to prioritize the scholarly source over unimportant info.
  
  So this [32] ³ and not this³ [32].
  
  Also: avoid footnotes after integers, they look like powers.
- Citations go before the last period of the sentence, but within parentheses.
- Natbib reference sheet:
  
  \citep{} aka \cite{} for inside Parentheses thing *(Bob, 2043)*
  
  \citealp{} : sentence (as *Bob, 2032*, said)
  
  \citet{} for citations inside Text: *Bob (2032)* says that ...
  
  \citealt{} for removes parentheses: *Bob 2032* (no comma!)
References (cleveref)
- \cref > \autoref > vanilla\ref
- \usepackage[capitalise, nameinlink, noabbrev]{cleveref} is usually what I want
  
  nameinlink makes Figure ... linked as well, not just the number
  
  noabbrev for Figure instead of Fig.
  
  capitalise for uppercase by default, without it \Cref does it manually.
  
  \Cref for beginning of sentence \cref otherwise is good karma regardless of capitalise
- Appendixes will be called Appendix if you add \crefalias{section}{appendix} before they start⁴
- Documentation:
  
  https://ctan.project-creative.net/macros/latex/contrib/cleveref/cleveref.pdf
Other bits
- I sometimes write and around ~50% forgetting that ~ is a nbsp — hard to catch when reading the text.
- As when writing code I like to add some assert False (or a failing test) so that I know where I stopped the last time, \latexstopcompiling here is a neat way to make sure I REALLY finis ha certain line I started but not finished.
- \clearpage (maybe a couple) for a new page
- Use the xurl package, it’s it’s basically url but adds neat line breaks. \url{my-long-url-thingy.com}
Useful snippets

My favourite TODO command
% \newcommand{\TODO}[1]{{\color{magenta}\textbf{#1}}} \newcommand{\TODO}[1]{{\color{magenta}#1}}
EDIT: the todonotes package is a thing! https://tug.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/todonotes/todonotes.pdf TODO use its much better options

Quick environment for informal lists etc.

When starting a paper I usually add a first section with references/checklists, that gets deleted before submission. This makes it easy to write
% disables parindent, makes latex follow newlines \newenvironment{META}{% \setlength{\parindent}{0pt} \obeylines \footnotesize % or not }{% % group closes automatically }
Sample usage:
\section*{Meta/TODO} \begin{META} Things I need to remember: - do x - do y --- and y1 --- and y1 - delete this section \end{META} \section{Introduction}
Same through groups
\def\TODO{\begingroup \color{magenta} \bfseries } \def\noTODO{\endgroup} % then \TODO here's my text, supports enumerations etc. inside as well! \noTODO Back to normal
Obeylines for simple newlines

(From https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/153540)
\bgroup\obeylines Here line breaks are respected. \egroup Here they are not.
Auto titlecaps

(Don’t remember where from)
\usepackage{titlecaps} \Addlcwords{the and but or nor for a an at by to in on with of} \let\oldsubsection\subsection \renewcommand{\subsection}[1]{\oldsubsection{\titlecap{#1}}} % also section etc.
Saving space

TODO
% remove spacing before itemize \usepackage{enumitem} % https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/23313/how-can-i-reduce-padding-after-figure % \setlength{\belowcaptionskip}{-2ex} % default is 0 \setlength{\abovecaptionskip}{0pt} % default is 10 % don't change indent \usepackage[skip=0pt, indent]{parskip}
Circled numbers
\usepackage{circledsteps} % then for circled 3 do eg. \Circled{3}
Make wide tables fit in the page
\begin{table*}[t] \centering \small \begin{adjustbox}{max width=\textwidth} \begin{tabular}{l c c c c }
Make minted listings use the same font for “Listing” in the caption
\usepackage{caption} % This ensures lstlisting uses the standard caption style \captionsetup[lstlisting]{ format=plain, % Adjust labelfont and textfont to match your document class % Common options: bf (bold), sc (small caps), it (italic) labelfont=bf, textfont=normalfont, singlelinecheck=false }
Colored boxes
\usepackage[many]{tcolorbox} % ... \begin{tcolorbox}[title=Box title,colframe=darkgray,colback=blue!5!white,arc=0pt,fonttitle=\bfseries] \end{tcolorbox}
Footnotes in tables

Just use \dag, \ddag and manually add to caption. DON’T FORGET ABOUT THEM!

Hyphens vs dashes vs en-dash em-dash minus etc
Hyphens vs dashes (em-dash, en-dash)

Previously: 220201-1625 German Bindestrich VS Minus, 231205-1311 Notes from paper review

Theory

Hyphen vs. Dash–What’s the Difference? | Grammarly is the source for what follows.
- Hyphen for book-loving student: connecting two one-word entities
  
  ‘dog-friendly hotel’, but ’this hotel is dog friendly’: hyphen only if the compound modifier comes before a noun (231201-1401 How to read and write a paper according to hackernews’s writing guide calls this “used as an adjective”)
  
  take a five- or ten-minute break
- en-dash –, width of a letter N, is a super-hyphen with extra glue for connecting entities that may be more than one word:
  
  pre–World War II buildings
  
  formally - for time/page-number/score ranges
- an em-dash (width of an uppercase M) is more artistic than technical. It’s a pause in a sentence, more than comma but less than semicolon or period. No rules about spacing around it as long as it’s consistent
  
  for surprising information instead of
  
  parentheses
  
  explanatory or amplifying information
  
  sudden interruption, especially in dialogue
  
  two hyphens -- may get replaced by an em-dash in most programs (including TG)
- Fazit: the hard part in typography in en-vs-hyphen, creating an am-dash is trivial but it’s the less useful of all of them
- Maybe it’s my Ukrainian grammar interference, but I use it a lot in my sentence structure, especially in what maps to “explanatory or amplifying information”

Three consecutive dots (“...”) into an ellipsis entity
This means you can write, edit, and save your posts using plain old ASCII straight quotes, plain dashes, and plain dots, but your published posts (and final HTML output) will appear with smart quotes, em-dashes, and proper ellipses.
```

Em-dash: --- / \textemdash
```
Remaining questions
- Terminology;
- minus from my keyboard (-) vs − (−) vs hyphen (?) vs dash (?)
- The UniSearcher: Character Block 02000 - 020FF has 6 different dashes but oh well
Commitment (lol)

I’ll try to use all these correctly in all my written speech from now on because why not.
