This is amazing! Thank you!

I wanted to point out that using `image-rendering: pixelated` ends up with extremely ugly diagrams if, like me, you're on a machine with a non-integer devicePixelRatio.

https://i.imgur.com/X3Xy4CE.png

Note: There's no way display an image in a browser 1x1 pixels, nor 1xN where N is an integer, without JavaScript. Say like your page, you set the canvas 768px, and you set its resolution to 384x256, Well on my machine with a devicePixelRatio of 1.3333333730697632 that means the requested display size 768px becomes 1024 devicePixels. 384 doesn't divide 1024 evenly and with `image-rendering: pixelated` that means every few src pixels is 3 pixels wide instead of 2.

Anyway, solutions:

1. Don't pixelate, instead go the other way, increase the resolution of the canvas and use scale or whatever other techniques to get smooth lines

2. Use JS to adjust the display size of the canvas so that it's some multiple of device pixels

Here's library for that: https://greggman.github.io/pixel-perfect.js/

Still not fully perfect because MacOS hides the true resolution of the display from apps but generally still ok as MacOS goes out of it's way to look good even with scaling.
NIRCam’s range starts at 0.6 microns (600 nm) so picks up a little bit of the red end of our visible range. But it definitely can’t differentiate a range of human visible colors.

I only write code in an FP language and it never looks like that. Usually I’m passing function results into another function or into a match to break out success and failure states. It doesn’t have to be Haskell wizardry, or even clever.
Out of curiosity, why would a Googler elect to use a Linux based workstation as opposed to a macOS workstation? Are they testing Linux binaries? Developing kernel extensions? Linux build tools? macOS offers such a superior desktop experience I can't imagine why else you'd ask an employer offering you a macOS machine to substitute it with a Linux one.
Please do post an addendum to the page with the time it takes:)
ARMs are vulnerable to several spectre-style exploits, and have mitigations that can be turned on at some cost to performance just like x86.

I knew the 5D4 would be the end of the line, and I ditched my 1DX which was just too heavy, the 4 is better in every way. I had the original 5D and the mk2, and very impressed at how refined the 4 is.

I did try the R5 and I also used the original eye-tracking Canon EOS 5 back in the 90s so I can see things have come a long way :) The deal-breakers on the R5 were:

1) Huge cost
2) Lack of GPS
3) New lenses required

And the extra value of quality and video and speed weren’t enough to compensate. On those points, I also think there’s a bunch of trade-offs.

Firstly, the file sizes. My first digital camera, the Nikon D1X, had file sizes of 5-6 Meg, and my Q2 is coming in at 85 Meg. That’s 17 times as much drive space needed to deal with this, not to mention network bandwidth to move everything around. Do I need this many pixels? Well obviously I want them, but I just sent out a 49 x 30 inch print to a client that was upsized in Topaz and was taken on the 21MP 5D2. Was it stunning? Definitely.

Secondly, the lenses. They are ridiculously good these days, as they need to be to resolve for 60+MP sensors coming up. But they are also getting pricy and heavy. Do I really want to replace an entire bag of primes? I save 100 grams on the camera to lose it all tenfold on the lenses. This was always the biggest cost involved with a system. The R5 is hardly cheap but I’d honestly rather switch to Leica S at this point.

Thirdly, at these pricing levels, we really are in Leica territory and the Q2 absolutely trounces Canon in terms of value and workflow. I’ve been running the Q2 for three years and it’s got 51 real MP to play with, a lens that makes you laugh with its ability, plus speed and control. It’s completely outgunned if we’re talking wildlife photography and long lenses, but on everything else it is camera number 1.

DSLRs aren’t being truly killed by their mirrorless replacements, not yet maybe, but by anyone who can shoehorn smartphone tech into a real camera.

Maybe interchangeable lenses are the things getting in our way?

Not really 6 times - 3.3 to 12.6 billion is about 4 times. Regardless, Finland started a similar project with the same design around the same time, and they're operational. China, too, started building reactors of the same design around the same time, and they're operational. The UK started a project with the same reactor design, and they're billions over budget and half a decade late (with still years left for those to continue to cascade). While all had delays and overruns, the cause is likely inaccurate estimating at the outset. The same article describes the EPR2 design, which is being done exactly to solve these issues.

Regardless, the big problem here isn't specific to the nuclear plant design, but rather public project management (a field I have pretty deep insight into). The same can be seen in most multi-billion dollar projects with high political input and public visibility, whether it be a highway or a bridge or a transit line or an airport.

Not an expert. But we are inside a galaxy ourselves, and it's not easy to leave this place. The scenery around us gets dated really quickly once we saw it for the first time, and it will probably stay boring until we visit another part of the universe to change the view.

Based on my understanding of astronomy, the real research starts when scientists zoomed way in, thus the "enterprise upgrade" (increased resolution I assume?) is exactly what they're looking for.

Those published pictures are probably just for show (/to proof that the taxes you paid is have been used on a real project).
You're right, my bad. Was super-fresh though, and I can't imagine everyone just magically got along by 1886.
FEMA’s job is to prepare for such disasters, this is simply 3rd edition of one such document.

The hypothetical cause could be accidental US detonation of a nuclear warhead but assigning blame isn’t their job disaster recovery is. It’s much better to have a plan than try to make stuff up on the spot so horrific but unlikely threats should be planed for.
Absolutely. I've had my Model Y for about 1.5 years (14,500 miles). Recently, I've had to replace the rear tires due to slow pressure loss. Supporting 5,000 pounds certainly increases wear and tear; alas, they don't come cheap [0].

At least the "run-flat" design is worth it for long road trips, the ability to re-inflate, and increased storage space.

The average Googler doesn't get to pick the OS that their workstation runs. It's going to be Linux. The typical work setup is a browser, some kind of editor and terminals - which is something that works well in Linux.
This is actually bad for online privacy in the long term.

The reason is because this is tying online privacy to mainly one side of the abortion debate, and to one political party.

There is a greater than 50% chance that Republicans win control of Congress in 2022.

I would say that there is likewise a 50% chance they win the Presidency in 2024 (especially if they run someone other than Trump).

If online privacy is nothing but just yet another point of contention in the culture wars, what chance do you think this will have of standing?
Because almost all of our production fleet is Linux derived, it makes sense to use a platform that is nearly identical.

Additionally, cost is a huge factor as well. Think about the cost of purchasing 100,000 macOS machines. Compare that to purchasing 100,000 generic x86_64 machines from several manufacturers, which are generally more friendly to customization for Google's needs.

You still haven't given a way to decide what is or isn't a faux pas. I'll give the answer since you won't: it's whoever complains the loudest.

Interesting comparison, though I assume the Rpi zero elapsed times include a lot more onboard peripherals for the kernel to figure out. I think I'm only counting five devices in the boot output for this ESP32. And nothing time consuming to configure, like a network device.

It depends on the team, and the individual.

Generally, a Googler does actually get to pick their OS, it's part of the onboarding process that every Noogler goes through, and you're given 30 days from your start to swap around and test the other platforms (gLinux, macOS, gWindows, or Chrome OS).

My favorite story of squirrel shenanigans: Back home in Ontario, late one night, driving back from a friend's place I saw an SUV dropping sparks and flaming debris on the otherwise completely empty stretch of highway.

I flashed lights, waved, & honked enough for the driver to pull over. I tell him what I saw coming out from under his car and there was a distinct burning smell we could both smell even just being parked next to him. He pops the hood to see if there's a fire and sees a bit of smoke and I would guess about three hundred or more pine cones, chestnuts, and acorns rammed into every available space under his hood.

We both had a good laugh, and I wished him luck and went on my way.
haha, i literally have been playing a song on loop all day today. I've probably heard it 30 or 40 times. I wasn't aware other people also do this. It's like the music is stuck in my head unless I listen to it. Then after listening enough I can let it go.

So first this comment is clearly influenced by your own preferences for MacOS. Stackoverflow Developer Survey shows irl about 40% of development is done on Windows, 30% Mac and 30% Linux. So the platforms are at least equally appealing in real world circumstances.

Secondly Goobuntu was insanely well integrated with Google’s custom source control and internal ecosystem. No one actually did real engineering work on Macs because it was disallowed for security reasons by policy, but I also never met anyone who wanted to. The tooling and customization on Goobuntu was very good and although I’m sure people asked for a better experience on Mac, the ability to customize and control the Linux dev experience just beat Googles ability to modify MacOS hands down.

Also I think there’s very little MacOS offers from a developer perspective that isn’t matched or easily trumped by Linux, but now that’s my personal bias showing ;)
Hey as long as we all agree Electron sucks, amirite
If you want to get really technical, there's not much difference between Google's gLinux and Debian testing.

Notably, our security, provisioning, and tooling is installed, and that's about it. Nothing that's particularly useful outside of the corp bubble.

The data brokers have both and more for most people. It is easier (not easy) to keep browsing history private. It is much more difficult to make mobile phones not leak your location. You need to run a custom OS, stay in airplane mode or use no SIM, and install only certain apps to accomplish this. Since few people know how to do this, regulatory enforcement on location data is more important.

My favorite movie of all time is "War Games"
and it comes to mind whenever I read about related
stories.

There is a great speech by a character called Falken.
and he gives the best advice for how to prepare for nuclear war:

"""
Oh, it's all right. I've planned ahead.
We're just three miles from a primary target.
A millisecond of brilliant light
and we're vaporized
Much more fortunate than the million |who'll wander sightless
through the shouldering aftermath.
We'll be spared the horror of survival..
"""

There entire dialog is my favorite part of the movie.

An SRE-SE requires a different skill set compared to SRE-SWE or SWE and the interview questions are different. If you have both skill sets, you effectively have two opportunities here :-)
Semi professional musician here. Repetition goes way beyond what the author mentions:

- Most music is highly repetitive, often recycling 2 or 3 short segments (chorus, verse) with minor variations to fill out a whole song. Coltrane is known for his avant-garde composition, and even he repeats (often on a much smaller scale than a pop tune).

- The work of being a musician is repetitive. Learning (memorizing) songs takes reps! Then you've got to keep them fresh, teach them to new band members, etc. You probably have a limited book, and you know what the crowd pleasers are. Unless you're big enough to have a following cutting a song you're sick of isn't a problem, but filling out a set might be. Between rehearsal, gigs and practicing at home I probably play through most of my band's book at least twice a week.

- Being a musician is very physical, which means you're drilling exercises in your daily routine. As a brass player, I run more or less the same set of warmups, range builders and flexibility exercises every day. Drummers do rudiments. String players have their own shtick.

As far as listening to music, I don't typically put something on repeat unless I'm trying to transcribe it. But I'll listen to a song, and there's a chance it'll play on repeat in my head all day (or all week!). Steely Dan and LCD Soundsystem are particular earworms for me. It wasn't until college I realized this isn't true for many people.
