13. Numeronyms Kubernetes
14. Numeronyms Kubernetes
15. Numeronyms Kubernetes -12345678-
16. Numeronyms K 8 s
17. I wrote a numeronym decrypter in Python $ python numeronyms.py -d i18n intercrystallization interdifferentiation internationalization institutionalization
18. Are you feeling lucky? $ python numeronyms.py -d a11y --lucky aboriginality
19. Want to turn a long word into a numeronym? $ python numeronyms.py -e numeronym n7m
20. Want to turn a short word into a numeronym? $ python numeronyms.py -e test t2t
21. Want to turn a shorter word into a numeronym? $ python numeronyms.py -e bin b1n
22. Want to turn an even shorter word into a numeronym? $ python numeronyms.py -e ha h0a
23. Want to turn an even shorter word into a numeronym? $ python numeronyms.py -e x x-1x
24. What are numeronymns? Even Wikipedia doesn't know • 143 – I love you • 187 – slang for "murder" • 520 – I love you • E15 – The Eyjaallajökull volcano in Iceland • s5n – shorten • h7k – hyperlink • a16z – Andreessen Horowitz • 64 – Tiananmen Square protests of 1989 • K8s – Kubernetes • sk8r – Skater • K9 – Canine
25. K3s? WTF? We wanted an installation of Kubernetes that was half the size in terms of memory footprint. Kubernetes is a 10-letter word stylized as K8s. So something half as big as Kubernetes would be a 5-letter word stylized as K3s.
