I think "nightmare" is a bit sensational. The LHC's purpose is not to "find X" it is to take measurements over a novel range of conditions. The new data is what we're after.

We use an "embedded model" with separate teams. I run an SRE organization with 10 individuals. At any given moment 3-4 are embedded on teams pursuing some objective. The rest are doing incident response and SRE specific projects f

It's not a charity. Spoilers your company is making money hand over fist. Many company's boast a $600,000 or more revenue per employee figure. In many cases you are there just for insurance. I employ more people than I need on pur

Strive to know as much as possible but delivery is different from achieving understanding. If your goal is to deliver knowledge is just another tool; it is not some magic answer to everything. You have to find a balance where you know enoug

Yes this is what "tacit" means. Just like you tacitly agree you won't murder people or we'll put you in jail. You don't get an option to opt out. Its called society. On the upside you get protection from others murd

This may surprise you but there is a whole industry setup around exchanging airplane seats for dollars. We call them airlines.

The agreement is "tacit" you agree simply by participating. You never signed a contract to drive on a specific side of the road, but I doubt I'd see you careening into oncoming traffic because of its absence. > did you see

Welcome friend, it's been too long we've been waiting for you. Through the process of acquisition I currently manage a physical data center that someone else setup to have "control" and an Azure data center that only use

>Do not isolate code when you test it. If you do so, the tests become fragile and do not help you in case you refactor the software. I don't agree with this bit. This is how you make a fragile test suites that are difficult to refac

Always seems odd that the cranky dinosaur doesn't use his/her unix super powers to gather likeminded talent to build the world's greatest, simplest, cheapest app and retire a billionaire. It's almost like there is more t

What are you on about? When I say "service" I mean people doing things for you. In order to have good economics you have to make money buy selling physical or digital goods. Its because physical and digital goods are intrinsically

I love the products but that S1 didn't exactly blow my socks off. They are hemorrhaging cash and their growth strategy is pretty WeWork-ish. Seems to boil down to "Get more customers", "HCP is probably going to make mone

In the end it's about fairness. I think we all agree that the perpetrator shouldn't find respite before the victims. Unfortunately for the victims and the perpetrator that respite doesn't exist. He may regret what he did and

Whether or not the author is "redeemable" is irrelevant. At its core sexual misconduct is prioritizing one's own needs/desires and using someone else as an object to achieve them. It's one of the highest acts of sel

Yeah to some degree. I am in that 25 years of experience range. The software I write today looks much more like year 1 than year 12. The questions I ask in meetings I would have considered "silly questions" 10 years ago. Turns out
