> Many phone cameras are already quite good. Of course, you and I know that. But most people just listen to the marketing material. My mother's most used feature on her phone is the camera. She asked me about getting a…
Yup, I had an issue filed against an open source project I work on. Was a crazy weird crash. The reporter actually spent the effort to track it down, turns out it _was_ a Go compiler bug.…
Also, it's not always about vulnerabilities directly, but how well / fast things are patched.
Cheap pans. Thin-walled that doesn't distribute heat evenly. So hot spots burn the pasta to the walls. Secondly, not stirring at all. Boiling will do some circulation, but you have to keep some amount of stirring to…
> "none, loyalty goes only one way and trust me when I tell you that no-one is safe" Yup, I know someone who had been there since 2006 that was laid off. Not even high scores on Perf will save you. I have no idea what…
Many "blind" people are not 100% blind. Visual impairment is a sliding scale. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cdPymLgfXSY
Most of the water use is in evaporative cooling. Not really a way to re-use water that's now in the air. This, in part, is how Google gets an average PUE of 1.1. Which is _really_ good compared to typical.
Yea, it was great. But it was more lack of maintenance than anything. The original chat devs were passionate about open federation. The new devs were not. Add to that it was a big source of spam that nobody wanted to…
Ugh, speedbumps are so dangerous. Sure, they make you slow down for them. But drivers now want to "make up" for that slow down. So they drive even faster between them.
> garden leave It's called the same thing in Germany. The term also applies to when you quit, but the employer wants to cut your access to the company ahead of your contract termination date. It's typical to have 1-3…
This is functionally how it works in Germany. Usually reserved for C-level types. It's also done because it not allowed to have anti-poaching clauses IIRC.
Bonus points for the menu PDF file being hundreds of megabytes because it's their high res file for the printing company. Double bonus if their restaurant is a mobile service dead zone.
Not 100% silent, but lots of new projectors are based on LED/laser lamps, which produce a lot less waste heat. Plus there's now ultra-short-throw projectors that sit in the front of the room, rather than above / behind…
Yea, people are nuts with some of that stuff. My "Computer speakers" are a bit crazy, but all together cost me sub $3k for a Neumann nearfield monitor + sub + DAC combo.
Dynamic Range Compression. Pretty much every HT system has had it for 15+ years.
Kids these days and their electricity. They'll never learn to be a good barrel cooper.
Hundreds of petabytes and billions of files in a single filesystem are now "easy mode". That was 10+ years ago. (Former GFS/Colossus/Borg SRE)
Atomic clocks are not required. That's a misunderstanding of what they're used for. The atomic clock thing helps improve performance of Spanner, by tightening the SLO of node-to-node and continent-to-continent clock…
And that's part of what others are saying. Some class of developers want POSIX, but POSIX is _terrible_ to horizontally scale. I've tried a couple times at different companies to get developers to stop assuming POSIX…
Ahh yea, I was an SRE back when Colossus was still bootstrapping on GFS. Bigtables all the way down. Ceph is still largely based on the original GFS last I looked at the architecture.
No, it really is pretty easy. I learned on a '85 VW Jetta manual. Took a couple tries to figure out, then it wasn't an issue. There are some cars that have very touchy clutches, but most are just fine.
There's also a latency component. Since CPUs are fast enough to deflate in real-time now, your bottleneck for a read is your storage/network. Reducing the bytes read from storage improves the IO latency.
Not to mention all the various in-house systems in the 2010-era. I worked at a small place back in 2013 that had built their own container platform about a year before Docker was released. It was more like workqueue…
Pretty much this. Although it does take some good physical senses to really pull out the spices/herbs in some things.
I work for a large online service. We barely need your IP to track you. There are _so_ many other variables sites can use to track you. Even when you switch networks completely. You're fear of IP tracking is outdated.
