> Some industries would not allow software to be released more than every few months. SQA needs to sign off. Users need to UAT. 2-week notice, 15-minute notice to log off. Downtime needs to be communicated to multiple time zones. Software versions need to be auditable for regulatory.

As a person who works in a heavily regulated field ($$$), all the audit / traceability requirements apply. We still move fast (multiple releases a day) because we have demonstrated that it reduces risk and promotes stability — something regulators are very interested in. In concrete terms, faster release rates are correlated with lower sevs (or incidents). But the underlying cause is really that faster release rates cause teams to adopt more reliable delivery practices, such as automated testing, gradual deployments, and so on.
26% is a massive number and more than sufficient for the stereotype to fit. If 26% of x demographic had murdered somebody, a stereotype that x are murderers would be well deserved.
It's most likely a driver issue. It depends on the nature of the issue. It can be as easy as turning some optional/3rd part repos on or as hard as debugging and fix in source code. I've done enough the later, and thus would simply steer away from that route. Intel cards seems to be supported pretty well. But it depends on the distribution. Last week I actually bounced between 3 distributions: Open Suse Leap, Debian and Fedora. OpenSuse failed to boot after installation, Debian lost all network config after finished installation and rebooted.

The Haunted Forest of Butterflies
We spent several years in a francophone ski station that attracted a fair number of Haredi tourists. My wife and I had several brief convos with them, and I'm sure from their side they were in yiddish, while from ours they were in german.

My favourite anecdote from this period was when my wife crossed a family on the trail at the lake, and one of the kids asked a question of the father about "the lady", as if she couldn't understand, and they were all surprised when she answered "sure, sure". ("doch, doch", written left-to-right, from her point of view; "dokh, dokh", written right-to-left in a different script, from theirs)
Yes, all changes (CLs) are atomic operations. The CL number reflects a specific moment in time for the entire repo.
I recently started thinking that even if we master fusion and know how to keep it safe, we as a society have become way too science averse that we will not let it happen. See the reaction to nuclear fission based power plants now. Everyone is scared of it and the byproducts. Germany, one of the most progressive nations on the earth,went and shut down all of its nuclear plants as a knee jerk reaction. I don’t have hope that fusion will be allowed.

Exactly. The 8th amendment restricts the punishment and not the underlying crime.
The deep deep irony of hiring someone specifically to do "devops".

That's not devops.

Devops is when you have developers who are empowered.

When you hire someone specifically to do devops you are hiring an ops team and calling it devops.

So, yeah. That still happens, sure. However, I do think it's changing these days:

linkedin > connections -> control-F -> 'devops' => 0 hits

"Site Reliability Engineer" -> 10 hits

I think hiring SRE makes sense. I think hiring 'platform engineers' makes sense. People still do that, and will, as far as I know, far into to the future.

...but I think hiring devops means you never understood, even vaguely, what devops was; you're just using a buzz word in your job ad.
That's correct. We've got a blog that talks a bit about it: https://vectara.com/blog/do-smaller-models-hallucinate-more/

Some people are surprised by smaller models having the ability to outperform bigger models, but it's something we've been able to exploit: if you fine tune a small model for a specific task (e.g. reduced hallucinations on a summarization task) as Intel has done, you can achieve great performance economically.
I think all of your problems are root caused by the phrase "multiple monorepos". This sounds more like "polyrepos" or something, multiple siloed repos that themselves might contained disparate projects, languages and tooling.

Google3 is a true monorepo. 99% of code in the company is one repo, with minor exceptions for certain open source projects and locked down code.

Edit: for example, you can change YouTube code, Google Assistant code, a Maps API, some config for how URLs are routed at top level load balancers, etc all in one CL if you really wanted to/needed to.

Force them to approve or deny. Drag your feet on documentation. Ask for outlandish things. Threaten to bring a lawyer into it. If it’s a big conservative company it’ll take months or longer to figure out how to put you on a PIP let alone fire you once you start talking about your ADA protections. But claiming disability as soon as you get a PIP is worth a lot less — very common tactic.

I'm really happy with the quality of WiFi in my house with the eero (works much better than the smattering of hard-wired access points I used to use ... not sure if that's better steering or what?).

The fact that it's constantly trying to sell me a monthly subscription leaves a real bad taste in my mouth though. Hard to recommend.

We have environments with thousands of services and it scales fine. Why would dev (or your lowest integration environment) be broken most of the time?

> except that means the Kafka team

That (a Kafka team, or a DB2 team) is a bit of a red flag for me. Many (but not all) “tech” teams like that are part of the problem. Cross functional delivery teams work much better, because running tech X in isolation is often not valuable.

The one exception to this is “x as a service” teams. Eg DBaaS teams, Or even a team that offers a pub/sub service. But in those cases such teams are literally measured by uptime SLOs, so if a pub/sub team can’t deliver uptime, they’d need to improve.

> to change the separation of powers they need a constitutional amendment because that's a change to the Constitution

The Constitution literally says the Congress has the power to establish inferior courts. Congress setting what is justifiable is highly precedented.

Oh, really? I didn't know that. I lived in a small town in northern Washington state and there were no unhoused people. I assumed it was due to the cold weather making it not very practical. I then moved to California to a similarly sized city (both 30-40k people) and suddenly there were people on the streets. Just anecdotal evidence though

https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S10511....

This suggests similarly?

"Indeed, 48% of the unsheltered homeless population is found in California and Florida alone, while just 15% of the United States population lives in these two states. Conventional wisdom among local officials and experts in cities with warm climates is that warm temperatures are major draws for homeless individuals.1

Similarly, research has generally affirmed that homelessness, and particularly the unsheltered type, is more common in warmer areas."

Reminds of some of the essays on theplayerstribune.com - would highly recommend taking a look at the website for real stories of professional athletes.
They have a new (since 1990s) classical model of atomic structure that is superior to the electron probability cloud model. It models the electron as a thin fluid shell that spins around the nucleus along all great circle paths. It allows calculations of molecular structure in closed form equations.

You misunderstand the suncell - the source of UV light is a hydrogen reaction when it bumps into a catalyst able to accept the right amount of energy that pushes the "ground state" electron into a lower energy orbit nearer to the nucleus releasing said energy. Solar concentrator photovoltaic cells are used to convert the intense UV light into electricity because they are cheaper per kW and much smaller.

The plant is physically quite large; the sunlight might be free but capital and deprecation will influence that ratio.

> Supposedly these agencies already know what they're tasked with, no?

I don't even see why such a law would have to name any agency. It could be a generic, "yes Supreme Court we do intend to let the executive fill in the blank in the law through regulations - that's why we call them regulations".

Even if that failed (perhaps on constitutional grounds), they could periodically accept agency regulation revisions and pass them into law.
Right. Primary power sources will be solar, wind, and batteries. What we need now are peaking plants with low capital cost and high output. High operating cost when running is acceptable because they won't be running much. They're backup generators. Currently, gas turbines can do that, but not much else does.

Nuclear, fission or fusion, is the opposite. It's all fixed cost. A higher fixed cost than solar or wind.

This is true.

Flight plans are now algorithmically generated to shave fuel usage.

Because weather forecasts are more accurate, the algorithms write flight plans that take the aircraft closer to storms. This saves fuel while slightly increasing the risk of severe turbulence.

Couple that with the lightweight materials used in modern aircraft, and passengers are likely to experience more frequent moderate to severe turbulence.

I'm pretty sure it's a window manager issue. gksudo (?) requests focus, and then while you're typing something happens and your keyboard loses focus on the password field and keystrokes go to an app behind that window.

there were also other fun things like running an app in a debugger, then setting a breakpoint in that app triggered by a UI event, would then immediately cause the entire desktop environment to lockup to mouse events. you'd have to use the keyboard to trigger the "application unresponsive" window and then tab to "close".

Can tell you from personal experience.. I’ve had zero issues with Hyundai 5 software. Well, it’s a bit slow sometimes. But no serious issues. And we bought it within a year of being launched.

Our Kia Soul EV 2015 has been nearly perfect, except one small issue in the first year where it could drain the 12V battery. But it was fixed fairly quickly.

They’re not up to the level of Tesla when it comes to making improvements to the software. There are several things they could do that would make huge improvements to the UX. But the over-the-air updates have just added some minor features that I really don’t care about.

No one looks in the bag, they just roll back, the bag is opaque, the bag breeds more bags, less trnasparency and higher costs.

Hi, I’m Jay, the founder of PrepPro. In the fast-paced world of job interviews, it's easy to overlook the hidden challenges that candidates face. Today, I want to shed light on some of the unseen obstacles preventing many from landing their dream jobs.

At 20 years old, I haven't yet experienced job interviews myself. However, I've seen friends struggle despite being qualified. They returned from interviews frustrated, not because they lacked skills, but because they weren't prepared for the specific pressures.

Traditional preparation methods focus on rote memorization and generic advice, leaving candidates unprepared and anxious. There's also a lack of personalized feedback, which keeps candidates guessing about their performance.

The psychological toll of constant rejection and uncertainty erodes confidence and motivation, slowly undermining our industry's talent pool. If left unaddressed, this could lead to a cycle of talented individuals giving up on their dreams.

If these problems persist, we risk losing a generation of talented professionals. This impacts individuals, industries, and economies. Imagine the best candidates missing out on jobs they deserve because they couldn't navigate the interview process.

> Germany, one of the most progressive nations on the earth, went and shut down all of its nuclear plants as a knee jerk reaction.

Anti nuclear sentiment had been building in Germany since at least the 70s. Then Chernobyl happened in 1986 and it got even stronger. It was part of what propelled the Greens into the administration 1998.

That administration reached an agreement for the nuclear exit in 2000 and the first plant went offline in 2003.

Merkels cabinet tried to extend the planned runtimes for the remaining plants, and it was that extension that was rolled backed after Fukushima.

Now, you can think that it was a big mistake, but it certainly was not a knee jerk reaction. It was a decision that was 50 years in the making.
Why do EVs need a lot of it?

Our Kia Soul EV 2015 model doesn’t have any more software than its gasoline counterpart, maybe a couple extra menus related to showing EV info, that’s all. I doubt that the software for the inverter is any more complex than the ECU controlling an ICE.

Our Ioniq 5 has a lot of software. Some of it enables huge benefits with EVs: like I can pre-heat or cool the car from the app. Love it.

But it’s not necessary. While I love the Ioniq 5 I think the older Kia Soul EV strikes a nearly perfect balance between features and simplicity, and I think the market needs more EVs like that.

threejs/babylon are awesome projects! For me, the main drawback is that they are JS/web frameworks, whereas Thermion (and Flutter/Dart more generally) gives you a cross-platform rendering + UI framework out of the box (and statically-typed, if that's important to you).

I've heard that react-three-fiber lets you build ThreeJS into React Native apps, though? So that may be changing. I'll need to check it out first-hand and see if that's the case.
