Wow... you left me wondering why signal processing teachers in college don't teach Kalman Filters with this simplicity. I know mathematical concepts are best taught mathematically, but that does led to information loss for those who do

alas... this is very true. I still think a well maintained CI system which actively prunes flaky tests can be a great productivity booster for the team. Doing so does require serious and continued investment though, which most teams aren&#x

Teams not respecting their CI systems will end up shipping slow, low quality code. That being said, the article referenced seemed to be talking about very basic and straightforward things. A far more nuanced and pragmatic perspective is req

I feel this trend taking root in academia is still a new-ish thing. The boundaries of academia and research, especially for computer science, really started blending 15-20 years ago as Big Tech took over Oil for the best paying job / g

Breaking the rat race of academic publications is long overdue. In some domains, the call to break this vicious cycle is already happening. E.g. ACM Sigcomm is one of the most prestigious and exclusive conference in Networking and Distribut

I hear the calls for blood here, but will offer a contrarian point of view. The pressures academic researchers have to face today are unparalleled, even in 95% of industry jobs. The pressure to publish continuously, pressure to win grants,

Tldr: you can bring your open source project to CNCF and if there are enough infra/platform developers vouching for it then you can become an incubated project. After that, there is a bunch of boxes (traction, integration, stability) t
