1. Learn about X.

1.1 See that awareness of X is distributed through the team.

2. Document that X is not documented. Have X dev / support team document X. Configuration, monitoring, troubleshooting, recovery, escallation.

3. Scale expectations. If X is not documented and awareness is limited, then issues involving X are not expected to be resolved by on-call staff and will be addressed when X dev team are available.

4. Scale opportunity/risk of X based on the actual experience and downtime it affords.

SRE is fundamentally a risk-management exercise. Manage the risks. Assess them, mitigate them, reduce them. And measure the damned costs of them.
I've often thought that New Zealand is the least bad post-nuclear life.
It's simply so far from anything. Even Australia is a big distance away.
Naming and shaming on a techie forum does nothing. People spent over a decade grousing about Micro$$$$oft on Slashdot to no effect.

Regulators and legislators are the only people who can do something about this. If you want to make a difference, politick, vote, or lobby.
> If you're on-call, you have the power to adjust alerts!

Amen.

Sounds like the author went even further: rather than just tweaking an alert, she deleted one, then deleted the whole service. That won't page again!

> Change it to a sev 2 so it does not alert future on-calls unnecessarily.

Or restructure the alert. I prefer SLO-oriented pages like "we've burned 1% of our quarterly error budget in the last hour" rather than cause-based pages like "CPU usage has exceeded 90% for 10 minutes". If you are getting paged based on something that doesn't affect customers, it might be a sign that you have the wrong alerts so you can't tell if they represent something important or not. Manually toggling the severity each time it's wrong might not be good enough.

In terms of overall operational load though this week doesn't look bad at all: four surprise pages in seven days. After her fixes the next week should be lighter (knock on wood).
Have you gone through both the React and Angular tutorials on each of their respective sites?

The angular one is far and away a much more detailed and useful tutorial than the React one. During the React tutorial on their site, I felt like I was being led by the nose towards competency and if I wasn't competent by the end it's my fault. Meanwhile the Angular one appears to give you some understanding of the angular concepts by the end.

At the end of the react tutorial, I feel confused and I'm still wondering what "hooks" are, as I haven't seen them mentioned once in the React tutorial. I tried your commands to setup a react site locally, and all I got was a web page showing React logo with a link to.. Reactjs... Meanwhile, the angular demo at least gives a little helping hand in building an app.

Your premise about poor decision-making is pretty spot on. I just wouldn't call React very accessible; As I'm definitely the target market for React and the process of starting the tutorial for React resulted in some NPM errors and a pretty useless demo site.

I've not gotten the job offer from some interviews in which I aced the tech but in which I did not 'fit' (how do I know, well recruiters and people from company told me but also I knew, I often either breeze through interviews or I fail miserably and these I breezed)

In one interview where I would have gotten it but didn't the reason was basically I wasn't submissive, the tech lead was in my opinion rude and so when he made some technical mistakes I pointed them out. Why did I do that? Because I did not need the job. If I had needed the job I would have been submissive.

Perhaps a lot of interviews fail to hire Dan because the interview process is geared towards hiring someone who needs the job. Why is this? No idea, especially as lots of interviews take place with someone who already has a job and the new place wants to attract. But for some reason companies want to attract flies with vinegar and not honey, contra the old adage.

on edit: regarding on why I did that, well I also did it because the lead was rude. Otherwise I wouldn't have pointed out when they were wrong.
Unfortunately the party in charge right now is trumpeting the idea that inflation must be because companies are price gouging customers rather than trying to slow down domestic spending. The other party doesn't like to balance budgets either and if the Fed even touches interest rates the market (and everyone's 401k) tanks.
If only we actually listened to that model or discipline that keeps pointing out the pitfalls of inequality.

Mozilla is just another corporation and they continuously work on things other than their primary product. It's not an impossible standard -- it's just what Hacker News wants from Mozilla and what Mozilla wants from Mozilla are two different things.

Mutations accumulate at a slow enough rate so that we know that they are very, very similar to modern humans as 24000 years is a very short time for that; and the reasonable proxies for intelligence that can be measured archeologically i.e. brain volume are the same or even in their favor.

The plumbing is just more expensive than works often be worth it, and the nice low-temperature systems run on what's essentially an ammonia destiller.
One of the challenges is that there probably is no way to undo the sanctions/Russian reactions to the sanctions. Sanctions started rewriting supply chains from the moment they went into effect. This could mostly be undone now, but the longer they are in place, the more permanent the rewrites become.

The Russian reaction also prevents a lot of capital from returning. They are talking about seizing assets, openly defaulting on bonds (rouble payments at the official exchange rate), have indefinitely closed the stock market, and seem set to start printing roubles. They will remain "uninvestable" to Westerners, as their risk profile has permanently changed.
My GP has already prescribed me a chest CT scan as my fever basically didn’t budge for 3.5 days with paracetamol and NISE as well. My CRP was elevated as well.

Now fever is down. My 5th day of symptoms today. I’m going to repeat CRP and then additionally do a chest CT scan today. She will see whether all is well or almost well with me or do I need specific care as of now or later as part of recovery. I think I technically I am still a covid patient.

And god, why is it difficult for every doctor out there to understand and accept that my “normal body temperature is below 98.6 F”!!
No WebUSB either (Or ever I guess), I know some HN people might not be a fan of it but personally I think it has huge potential to cut down on engineering waste. No need to build custom apps for every platform to just interface with a hardware device and also because it's a shared spec makes hardware devices hackable and alternative clients easy to create so devices can live on if their creators companies go under.

Appeasement. The very word conjures up images of brave resistance. Maybe I'm older but I imagine that Europeans have strong cultural memory of just how bad a strategy appeasing dictators is.

Putting up with pain at the gas pump is different to having your children conscripted and sent to die in a far off frozen land.
Such quotes ('oceans were 200-250 meters higher') are going to mislead people. It's currently estimated that if all ice melted, sea levels would rise somewhere around 70 meters [1]. National Geographic had an interesting interactive some time back that showed what the world would look like if this happened. [2]

And it's likely these estimates have not yet accounted for an important recent discovery which could bring that 70 meters down substantially. In 2016 it was discovered that sea levels were rising more slowly than expected [3]. The reason, discovered through satellite imagery, is that the lands were absorbing much more water than expected - effectively acting like giant sponges.

Trump warned them, and the German delegation laughed in his face. He claims he gave a gift of a white flag to Merkel to waive in surrender to the Russians after negotiations to block the Nord pipeline fell through.

But, Trump wasn't alone in thinking this way. In the 2012 election, Romney called Russia the USA's number 1 geopolitical foe, and Obama laughed it off.

Meanwhile, several high profile poisonings, siding with Assad in Syria, behind the scenes antagonising in Iran, etc. all made one thing abundantly clear: Putin is no friend of "Western liberal economic order", and the uneasy truce was not in any way guaranteed to last. If nothing else, putting all of your eggs in one basket and hoping he played nicely with your natural gas supply was the sort of foolishness that shouldn't be given positions of power.
Sounds like a bug that should be reported.
Because they "hook" into the component lifecycle. Which is why I'm not sure I understand your complaint... hooks are meaningless outside of a component because there's no lifecycle to hook in to. If you have plain-old-javascript with a hook in it something is not making sense.
The guy was a master promoter. He was also something of a cultural leech. The punk era was made possible because some basic technology was suddenly cheap enough for anyone. I'm talking about small run vinyl pressings (music) and xerox machines (print media). But the media image of punk from the late 70:ies was largely manufactured by the likes of McLaren and Westwood who was fashion store owners at the time. When the DIY strain of punk culture took over they declared punk dead and moved on.
I wish they'd add an option to disable webp, it's really annoying to save a photo and get it in a format that's supported almost nowhere.

I do wonder if this will help adoption. Now the low end iphone, high end iphone, ipads (air or pro), mac mini, and everything faster has great single thread perf. The serious desktops (not including mac mini or 13" mbp) and laptops have 2x (200GB/sec), 4x (400GB/sec), or 8x (800GB/sec) memory systems that should help with CPU, AI/ML, and GPU tasks. Seems like a pretty awesome minimum level of performance to encourage developers to make the most of it.

Seems just the opposite of what Intel's doing where you might get a fast core, slow core, AVX2, AVX512, etc on a new product. Doubly so when AVX512 worked on Alder lake chips... till it was disabled by Intel.

I did hear that the m1 pro/max didn't do some GPU benchmarks particularly well, although I'm anxious waiting to hear how the M1 ultra does.

I read an interview with a paleontologist and he pointed out two things. First, climate 9000 years ago was about 1- 1.5 degree warmer than today. Even 1000 years ago it was much milder in Arctic or Northern Atlantic/Pacific. Second, the next ice age should start within the next 1000-2000 years. And for humans an ice age is much worse than global warming even by 2 degrees. So it could be that we should continue to increase CO2 as a protection against the ice age…
You need both.

I used to work in a place where (1) was called as "Customer Engineering" and (2) as "Product/Standard Engineering" (i was part of this group). The former allows you to hook in the customer and keep him engaged with quick feature deliverables in separate code branches some of which are then rolled into the "master" branch (with due diligence like refactoring, making it robust and more general etc.) after due consultations with Marketing/Sales.

I was a skeptic initially, thinking (1) would be producing crap code which would need extensive rewrite but that didn't happen in reality. They were experienced developers themselves (this is the key for (1) ) and so the code was mostly okay and needed little tweaking. Everything worked surprisingly well.

I believe every Company needs to have these two groups in Engineering.

> The problem you describe is why presidents will only sit down for interviews with anchors/journalists/networks who they have some guarantee will treat them favorably

That's not true. Only the last president outright refused to engage in unfriendly press. Obama may have called on Fox reporters less often and only got interviewed once or twice on the network, but he still engaged them.
A few things I would try in that situation:

- recover the files on the phone, esp. files that have google authenticator cache/dbs/secret keys and transfer that to new device

- see if any token using google account is still able to perform activities and work from there

to avoid this next time, use Authy (it works the same as google authenticator and works anywhere they tell you to use 2fa with Google Auth, but it allows you to install it on multiple phones and desktop/web login too)

> There’s a lot of stuff that works remarkably well even though it’s cheap.

Even light switches are pretty cheap. You can get a basic single light switch for around $2. Sure there's decora switches, dimmer switches, and all kinds of other great things for $50+ but the basic $2 ones will still last decades.
Living in Seattle, having lights that turn on in the morning really help wake me up in the winter months. I use an Alexa routine which turns on NPR and turns the nightstand lights to ~50% so they’re providing light but not harshly so.

Unfortunately, Apple have a policy that the inbuilt webkit is the only browser engine that is allowed to be used on an iOS device. The iOS Chrome, Firefox, & Edge apps are just thin wrappers around the same Safari engine included in iOS.

1. Read the official manual instead of tutorials

2. Read example configurations from public repos

If they manage to get it back under control now, then we'll know if they could have gotten it under control post-pandemic. If not, we're all fucked anyway and not many people may care to research the answer to the question.

This is why the timing of the invasion is, for want of a better word, "perfect" if you're someone who wants to watch the world burn (assuming that "the world" was primarily the Western World with its heaviest dependence upon "stuff").

As the pandemic appears to be easing, the interest rate hike (first step as a reaction to the inflation problem) a month away. The timing of the invasion was both exquisite and horrendous.

> Compare programming in the 1970s and 1980s to now. We're way more sophisticated now than we were then.

I think this is revisionist history at best. Your comments about baud rates and CPUs getting faster is true of course, but look at something like programming languages: I'd put ML from 1973 (later Standard ML, 1983) against Go or Rust, and I'd put something like Icon from 1977 against JavaScript or Python. If anything, I think we've regressed because ML and Icon could actually run on 70s era hardware, but Rust can barely compile its own compiler on 2020s era hardware, and Python wastes CPU and memory as though it was a design goal.

Seriously, look at Standard ML, Icon, or even Scheme and SmallTalk from the 70s, and ask how Python and Go improved on those.

The US has 11 nuclear aircraft carriers, not hundreds.
That's because of 1GB of RAM(and VRAM). No one want to support it.
Inflation has been rampant for years, it's been hidden as inflation measures inexplicably don't include cost of housing, it also doesn't include the massive subsidies provided to industries that are poorly managed like US agriculture. Finally, the claims that massive price increases were due to inflation would be much more believable if the businesses selling the "inflation impacted goods" we're making the highest profits ever, far in excess of the highest estimates of inflation.

Your claim also doesn't explain how inflation didn't balloon in countries that provided actual financial support to people - the US had two payments of next to nothing, most other countries provided continuous support, even those with far less per-capita income.
