Korolev was born in the Ukrainian SSR and let me quote wiki [0]:

"His father, Pavel Yakovlevich Korolev, was born in Mogilev to a Russian soldier and a Belarusian mother. His mother, Maria Nikolaevna Koroleva (Moskalenko/Bulanina), was a daughter of a wealthy merchant from the city of Nezhin (now Nizhyn, Ukraine), with Ukrainian, Greek and Polish heritage."

There is something very indecent in talking about nationality or ethnicity of great people as if it really matters. Please stop it, okay?

Hey kube-system, thanks- I'm open to being wrong.

Did it take 15 years for Toyota to acknowledge the defects? Looks like this is limited to 2017 Sequoia and 2018 Highlander, and it's got to be less than 5 years. They also flash a warning light when the problem is detected.

I don't see anyone demanding a planned economy.

I see people recognizing reality - JIT is efficient but fragile in the face of disruption.

Seems to me the sensible thing to do would be to recognize that for what it is and try to strike the right balance in an uncertain world. Even if your concerns are strictly commercial, a couple points margin in good times is unlikely to balance a year of massively screwed up supply chains.
I don’t know why but:

“Ferrari issues recall notice to replace brake fluid cap in nearly all cars sold since 2005”

Sounds way different than:

“Almost every Ferrari sold since 2005 is being recalled”

The first one sounds like a common occurrence in the car industry. The second one sounds like a salmonella outbreak in frozen peas that you need to throw away the bag or return it to the store.
Taking this analogy further. Jury nullification is like manually manipulating the database after the program keeps crashing out to make sure the customer gets what they need right now.
A snake charmer isn't afraid of snakes because he'll typically mutilate the animal by breaking the fangs or cutting out the venom sacks before going anywhere near it. A snake charmer will be afraid of every other snake.
What's the rationale behind that? That's really a penalty for early repayment - is it set by law, or is it just something that is part of a standard Canadian mortgage contract?

No, I'm getting it from wikipedia. It has nothing (directly) to do with Cloudflare or any other commercial interests - bittorrent is a content delivery network. You could run a private CDN. The whole purpose is moving the data to be consumed away from some centralized primary host, to nodes which are more proximal to the data consumer (either spatially, or solely in terms of bandwidth, torrent bandwidth is decoupled from the primary server). Bittorrent sort of automatically works out "proximity" by pulling from the highest bandwidth seeders. Also it's geographically distributed, providing redundancy and availability, which is arguably the more important part than proximity.

I think the criteria are that it a) delivers/distributes content b) is a network, implying multiple nodes c) lowers the latency and/or bandwidth cost of data consumption, by d) leveraging geographically distributed redundancy and/or proximity. I think the key feature is geographically distributed redundancy which differentiates it from a regular cache.

> The development team didn’t want to – or couldn’t – do the Ops work

But this is just because companies wanted to put the "ops" work into the shoulders of developers. What should be done is to hire one (or more) specific "ops/platform" engineers per team. Such engineers are the gateway for the team for all platform-related stuff. I'm not talking about SREs here. I think SREs are more about making the products as performant and efficient as possible (while platform engineers per team are more about setting up infrastructure). Sure both roles (in addition to the SWE role) do their job best if they are working together in the same team.

What I see nowadays in small and mid-size companies is either:

1. There is a "platform" team. They own infrastructure repositories, but they let product teams to make PRs to such repos (e.g., the platform team usually creates some kind of guidelines for managing infrastructure, like "How to create a staging mongo db"). The "platform" team is on charge of reviewing such PRs and merge them. Now, there are certain aspects of the infrastructure that only the "platform" team can actually work on (because the product teams either don't care about it or don't know about it). This doesn't work because the "platform" team becomes a bottleneck when the number of product teams starts to grow (the #platorm Slack channel becomes a nightmare with dozens of requests per day. Many platform engineers end up burned out because they see themselves as "customer service" for developers)

2. Developers pushing "product features" and at the same time they do "infrastructure" stuff. Companies usually call this "you build, you run it". In reality it's just cheap management (companies don't want to hire infrastructure engineers and they think the developers are excited to learn "docker/k8s/aws/gcp/terraform", so let them have fun). This is ultimately a nightmare for many developers because they end up burned out ("I want to work on product features! I don't want to fix GitLab pipelines").

I think the original idea of DevOps is totally valid. Just don't force your SWEs to work on infrastructure stuff. Instead, hire one or more infrastructure engineers for every product team you have. This way SWEs (dev) and infrastructure engineers (ops) can work close together and push stuff faster. Obviously almost no company is doing this because it is more expensive than the alternatives stated above.

Would you let your SWEs to design your frontpage? No. They obviously have a voice in the process of designing the frontpage, but ultimately the ones that should design it are your Product Designers (obviously for this to work, both your SWEs and your PDs should work in the same team).

Though depending on the application(s) in question, if JS and things that traspile to it are attractive to the developer then they could also consider an offline-first/-only web app. Not practical for everything and adds its own family of potential complications, but worth considering.

India's rocket fails to put satellites in right orbit in debut launch
Installing heavy networking/battery equipment in a rack by yourself without extra help. Cheap furniture that leads to repetitive stress injuries. Being woken up repeatedly at night which isn't good for your heart or health. Exposed wiring or poor grounding. Sharp edges on equipment coupled with trip hazards from poor wiring practices without the maintenance windows to fix it because "everything has to stay up." Replacing components on live hardware with extremely fast spinning fans. "Server rooms" that double as toxic (cleaning) chemical storage. Prolonged working around equipment with cooling systems that exceed the noise level for hearing damage. Stress-induced issues from on-call. Crawling around potential asbestos when running wiring for things such as wireless access points.
I agree that those have different tones, absolutely, and the one is much more extreme. I don't put that difference down to the word "recall" though, and I don't think "recall" is an alarmist word, as the parent does.

We have a dense line of palm trees protecting our shoreline on our property (South Caribbean), and ours is the only house on a long coast which hasn't lost metres of land to oceans over the past decade. (Our neighbours have prioritised private beaches, I like my farmland.) It's easily visible on Google Maps satellite view, but I'm not sure I want to post a link to my house...

Because they're all that's holding the property together their root systems are exposed on the seaward side, and they are _massive_. I couldn't build a stronger retaining wall. I wish this article shared some pictures of a palm root system, it's really the most impressive part. Together with seagrape shrubs I think I'm actually reclaiming a few inches a year. I also have some great footage of palm trees bent over nearly 90° in a cat-3 from a few years back.

One thing not mentioned here is the risk under storms of coconuts. In a tropical storm, palm trees become coconut catapults when the trunks whip around at high speed and under tension. We've lost multiple 1"-thick concrete roof tiles to coconut strikes, as well smashing (but not breaching) a cat-3 hurricane door.

Here for the Caribbean content!

Formally yes, but it isn't listed e.g. in the ThinkPad T14 Gen3 (AMD) specs as supported, they are all USB 3.2 only. No TB, no USB 4. TB 3 seems to be optional in the USB 4 spec, as it would need to support 40 Gbps speeds and not "only" 20 Gbps.

Not to mention they also cause accidents. People who see a red-light camera flash often hit the brakes, causing people behind them to rear-end them. There were a number of red-light cameras removed in the U.S. once it became clear they were snarling traffic on a weekly basis because of that.
Visually? Really? Didn't know that. I only own and work on old vehicles, and those all have a float with a magnet that triggers a reed switch.
You should consider giving travel a try, though. When done right, it has so many benefits that I cannot recommend it enough.

Among them: it gives you a better perspective on life, it gives you a better understanding of what is there to improve in your own community that you didn't notice before because "we have always done it this way", and it tends to make people less judgemental and/or racist.

Gratitude, the definition of the word, means "a feeling of appreciation (or similar positive response) by a recipient of another's kindness, gifts, help, favours, or other form of generosity to the giver of such gifts". It is a feeling you get when you appreciate something about some one / some thing other than yourself. Expressing gratitude is communicating that feeling, typically out of a desire to share the feeling, because you want others to feel good feelings too. It has nothing to do with narcissism.

Unity is currently valued around 15B. 17.5B is an embarrassingly small premium, especially considering how down the tech broader tech market is. You have to think Unity will shortly be worth more than 17.5B.
The judge can effectively overturn a "guilty" verdict but cannot overturn a "not guilty" because of double-jeopardy (though I suppose a judge could force/rule a mistrial).
I can confirm I've encountered this as well. In our case it was with shopify. There are some product_* tables that cannot be turned off without turning off product entirely and they can be incredibly expensive to sync. It's a very poor experience compared to something like airbyte where you pretty much get full control and can even edit the connectors if you have the dev manpower. The fact that adding new tables to your schema is on by default also really rubs me the wrong way. If you don't disable this or very closely monitor what new tables get added a reasonable connector can suddenly balloon in costs.
True, but generally (generally) speaking, the market changes affect both ways; if the value of the home to be sold dropped, it will also drop the price of the home to be purchased.
>You'll be there anyway for servicing every now and again.

I've worked at a car dealership before. Find a mechanic you trust, the car dealership will rip you off time and time again. I had to bring my car in for a recall previously, and they said right away that the brakes also needed replacing immediately. I brought it in to my mechanic instead to do it, they said I had at least another year on the back brakes, and 2 years on the front depending on how I actually drive. Ended up replacing the back after a year and a half, and am on year 3 for the front (will probably be replacing them shortly).
> I don't even understand what even is the point of this head in sand strategy.

It varies.

A lot of the time when you see it happen, the other side isn't exactly being polite either. Its a battle of "snowflake" vs "moron". In those cases, theres much more at stake admitting your wrong, with much more permenance. You're essentially admitting that not only were your theories on climate change wrong, but that the oppositions view on you is correct, you are a moron. Neither side means this, of course, but thats how it ends up being.

In more polite arguments, denial could down to fear of change, fear of being wrong (essentially the same as the less polite argument, but with the loser thinking that of themselves), or perhaps even just simply not being convinced for whatever reason
> it is known that if you switch from gcc to g++ your code often will run faster if it compiles)

I've never heard such a claim, can you back it up? And what does it say about the language?

> and it is a lot more maintainable

If you equate "maintainable" = readable, I've never once seen maintainable enterprise code. Everything is a convoluted mess that never gets anything done. Probably I haven't worked at the best shops, but then again, where are those? And why doesn't the language help mediocre programmers to write maintainable code?

I suspect that maintainability is almost exclusively a function of experience, not the programming language used. Experienced programmers do seem to agree that C-style C++ or even plain C is the way to go.

The existence of nullification is the prerequisite (because if it doesn't exist, it means there is a mechanism for overriding/punishing the jury if they "get it wrong" which would undermine the purpose of the jury).
I guess I'm questioning where the connotation comes from.

I've never considered "recall" to be alarmist. It's just a process. I look at the recall notice, see what I have to do, and go from there. 95% of recalls I've been involved in are similar to this one: go to the shop, replace a $50 part, go on with my day.

I just find it weird that the name of a mundane process is "alarmist". Different exposure, I guess.

Sure you are, in two ways:

1. You are using and supporting the same protocol that they are also using. As the application grows and improves because more people are using and supporting it, the criminals are also being helped.

2. You are creating cover. The more people that use Tor and Matrix, the more secure it becomes for all users within the network.

If you and a criminal are both using the same Matrix server, neither you nor the host would know. Your plain text messages are going into the protocol, getting mixed and encrypted, and then spit out the other end.

Software Engineer at Spacelift[0] here - a CI/CD specialized for Infra as Code (including Terraform).

A pattern we're seeing increasingly commonly are Platform Engineering teams doing the bulk of the work, including all the fundamentals, guidelines, safety railing, and conventions, while Software Engineers only use those, or write their own simple service-specific Terraform Stacks which however extensively use modules developed by the former.

This does also seem like the sweet spot to me, where most of the Terraform code (and especially the advanced Terraform bits) is handled by a team that's specialized for it. If you don't have a Platform Engineering team, or one that is playing its role (even if its called DevOps or Ops or SRE) in even a medium company, you'll probably start having as many approaches to your infrastructure as there are teams, complexity will explode, and implementation/verification of compliance requirements will be a chore. Just a few people responsible for handling this will yield huge benefits.

And yes, I can wholeheartedly recommend Spacelift if you're trying to scale Terraform usage across people and teams - and not just because I work there.

So, a couple of companies did actually stockpile chips (Toyota was one IIRC), because it was a component whose manufacturing flexability is pretty minimal. It was financially lucrative for them, since they could sell vehicles at a time where no other manufacturers could.
I think it shouldn't be a law partly for that reason, but it's definitely an example of needing to go further than just repealing the laws nobody can be bothered to enforce.

I am not opposed to updates, just auto-updates that can't be turned off by the user. Also there need to be a way to revert to an older version if a new one you manually approve messes things up.
