It's common to conflate the effects of a solar storm with an EMP; when in reality they're opposite extremes of the same mechanism (i.e. voltage varying over distance).

An EMP is a short-duration high voltage spike; i.e. short-wavelength/high-frequency.

A solar storm acts on a large scale and causes a long-duration high voltage spike; i.e. long wavelength/low-frequency.

So an EMP (i.e. a high altitude nuke) will tend to induce high voltage in small "antennas"; i.e. circuits in an SSD or other transistor electronics like your concern.

Whereas a solar storm will induce high voltage in large antennas; think power lines or long cables. However these days there's enough warning and contingencies to mitigate the worst of these effects; i.e. preemptively shut down vulnerable power systems. The grid "crashing" and needing to do a cold start is still very bad, but far better than also getting damaged.

Edit: I also want to point out that the above is specific to "on the ground" effects as we're shielded by earth's magnetic field. Satellites still get bombarded directly with heavy radiation/particles, which is much closer to an EMP in terms of acute impact.

For people who are unaware Nokia is working on Mobile Networks (5G Base stations etc), Network Infrastructure, Cloud Networking etc.

As for this move, from what I have heard from my friends working there it has been strange ongoings in Nokia. Earlier in the year people were being let go. There were hiring and travel freeze. All the while there was a costly rebranding exercise with new logo goodies being distributed to the employees. It made absolutely no sense to celebrate a rebrand while firing people.

As the article notes, words like cloud computing and AI are being thrown around. But many feel that the management has proven itself to be rather short sighted because there has been constant shifts in strategy - changing the business structure nearly every year to the rebranding just 2 Quarters ago.

I would like to see an estimate of how much Google earns from the Apple search traffic. The article talks about the payment as if it were pure cost to Google, which obviously isn't the case.

Nothing is wrong with deploying with docker-compose. Many people will push you toward k8s but if compose does the job there is absolutely no reason to introduce the complexity of k8s. Compose will get you far. (farther than many people think).
It works pretty well, it’s like how continuous integration seemed absurd to people who spent months integrating changes and now is the standard practice.

Anyways, in my experience, if you routinely use the latest and greatest versions of dependencies, over time you find that you stop using dependencies that make this painful.

Anyways, I’m fine with accidental breakage. Deliberately choosing instability in the form of a major version release seems irresponsible for packages at the base of an entire ecosystem. (Absent some critical security issue that your users would have to address anyways as happened with log4j)

Despite being trained not to mimic a specific artist, it’s incredible how the last image of anxiety with impressionism style (bottom-left) is close to the Wanderer above the Sea of Fog [0] (which is not even an impressionist painting!).

> I loved the painting before I ever knew it was stolen.

But is that because the painting was already famous and well known because of the theft (despite your not knowing about the theft)? That is, if you were a few hundreds years old and showed in your journals how you loved the painting in the decades before it was stolen, that would be significant. But saying you loved the painting before you know it had ever been stolen, but falling in love with it in the decades after it became famous because of the theft doesn't mean as much, does it?

It's not hypothetical that some people get an ADHD script and sell most of the pills, I've known more than one. For somebody poor the $600 or month they can make this way is life changing.

Also, diagnosis is often made on the basis of self-reported symptoms instead of a neuropsychiatric evaluation. I've seen people get an ADHD diagnosis who probably really had schizoaffective disorder or some other serious psychosis which could possibly be exacerbated by dopamine-boosting drugs.

To be honest, the entire state of mobile browsers could (and probably should) be an antitrust case in and of itself. It's just that the technical specifics are too complex for your average customer, let alone an aging judge, to understand.

On iOS customers are always locked in on the Safari ecosystem (well, for now, the DMA will probably change that) - all browsers on the app store are just skins of Safari, not meaningfully unique browsers. I hope I really don't need to explain why Apple gatekeeping non-WebKit browser implementations is bad.

Android is slightly better in that on the surface you can switch out the browser for say, Firefox (although Firefox on Android is a disaster), but... then Google does a sneaky thing and make it so that any in-app browsers will still be Chrome thanks to the System WebView. So nobody gets to escape the Google ecosystem. And in recent updates to AOSP, the vendor gets to force the System WebView to be set to the Chromium System WebView (or the Chromium Canary WebView, but that's... just the beta version).

Not that that one matters a whole lot directly considering there are no competing implementations for the System Webview besides Vanadium (which is just a Chrome fork - you also had Bromite in the past but a spat between Vanadium and Bromite means that Bromite System WebView is dead) and a single "just pass through to your regular browser" implementation; Mozilla has a Firefox WebView implementation for Android but largely leaves the choice up to app developers to switch out Chromium WebView instead of making it compatible with the system WebView (so nobody uses it afaict).
I am a manager and I certainly don't share this view and I know my manager doesn't either.

> Well, now I want a new keyboard.

Good luck. I've kinda wished there was some company that would sell custom keyboard where you could have switches in new places. But unfortunately, "custom keyboard" almost always means custom keycaps, and keyboard fads seem to mainly be about having fewer and fewer keys.

Pretty soon, I'm sure we'll see minimalist keyboards with only one key where you have to type in scan-codes manually in binary, Morse-code style.

I've dreamed about having a custom keyboard with two leap keys (but spaces on the outer ends of the spacebar instead of the middle) and a couple custom shift keys.

Ehhhhhhhh. It hasn't really made a super convincing argument not to use SQL. A lot of what is described isn't intinsicly a SQL problem, but instead an ETL problem. Eg, the use of complex types can be done by loading a csv into a TEXT table and then test typecasting on a sample set, followed by the full set.

And geo indexes are no joke. Using them has made 8hr long SQL queries take seconds.

Cheese and milk products in general are popular because it keeps well in winter, and large swathes of the country would get flooded on occasion; only grass would survive, which cows eat, and cows produce milk.

> Is it crazy to think that working from an office is just more productive?

For much work, yes, even moreso per hour the employee must dedicate to work (which, in working from office is substantially more than WFH for the same on-the-clock hours.)

> Especially if you’re a big company and have a lot of new grads/inexperienced hires that are harder to train up remotely?

Why would it be harder to train people up remotely, in general? Sure, there's cases whwre this is likely true, but they probably largely correspond to the same types of work that weren't remotable in the first place.
Linens and Things was a pretty similar chain that went out of business quite a while before. My sense is that, while there are some more cooking-centric retailers that are still doing OK, broader (often optional) midrange home accessories and decor has been a tougher category.

Another way of framing this without the fiefdom comparisons is that a lot of managers simply don't trust their employees. Weekly check-ins leave them with 4-5 days of fretting, not knowing if progress is happening.

Looking over at an employee and seeing them working is the worlds most common self-soothing mechanism. It really is as simple as that.

On the fringes, I'm sure there are a lot of creative collaborative environments with employees that have actual autonomy to act on such collaborations where RTO would move the needle, but I would speculate that very few of these environments actually exist even though everyone thinks they definitely have that environment (this is more at the executive level)

If the point they're making is clear, the prose is informative, entertaining and never boring, being smug is a writing style like any other, people will like it. If the writing is annoying, people will criticize the smugness, when in reality that just means they didn't like it.

It's also possible that the success of sarcastic, satirical styles drew a lot of people to these styles, and not all of them are successful in using these styles.

> Is it crazy to think that working from an office is just more productive?

Not per se but this is an assertion that's being made by the people in powerful positions[0] without really being backed up. I hear at least as much "it just feels better" talk from pro-RTO managers as I do from pro-WFH contributors. Rather than think that working from an office is more productive, pro-RTO arguers want others to assume that it is. It's not an entirely unreasonable thought but the actual "thinking" is sidestepped in order to skip to the desired conclusion.

In my 40 year work experience, ass-kissing is good for the short-term, it fails for the long-term. Ever hear of the Peter Principle? That's what happens to ass-kissers. They're not liked and as such can't lead. Because they can't lead they will get promoted beyond their capability. I've seen this happen so many times over the course of my career I've lost count.

The people who tell people what they need to hear? They may not do as well in the short-term, in fact they often don't, but over the long haul they have the most success and make the best leaders.
