I really like Mathmatica and how fluid it is at handling abstract logic. However I don’t like it when you end up with giant dense blocks of code with little visual outline to indicate the structure of how it’s put together.

You’re forgetting the network needs to be replaced too, there’s lead times on getting hardware, there the whole racking and cabling, and even at that if the this is due to a more complex networking issue then I can’t swap out the network si

We did actually have a team who handles hardware and a networking department, and they couldn’t figure it out. So lots of people had to get involved to do a binary search for the problem. I should mention this is a company with considerable

I’ve had performance issues with GCP, however I can switch cloud providers in that case without too much effort. With physical hardware that’s much harder.

I see, so it was constantly broadcasting and then he’d encode some message in the signal to indicate if someone was up stairs, instead of only broadcasting when there was a message to send. That certainly would explain it.

Would be interesting to get a better understanding of how it worked. I’m assuming there was a motion sensor upstairs, though I don’t understand why it would send a constant signal.

Certificate expirations show up on causes of outage lists so frequently, yet little has been done to address the underlying issues of how PKI works to address it. The core issue of time limits on trust and no specs and requirements on how t

It looks like the majority of their outages are listed as configuration changes as being the cause. You’d think they’d have an “RCA” at some point to address making configuration changes safer.

I wonder how a testing supervisor could be motivated to falsify the tests?

When will American cities prioritize good public transportation? It would be interesting to see what the differences are compared to cities that do, such as Singapore, Vienna and London.

Those numbers look high to me, an inexpensive meal you can do for $0.50, and the average salary is definitely less than $350, that’s an entry level software engineer in many cities outside of Jakarta. Plenty of people get by on $200 or less

It’s not the same as say selling Microsoft Office, where the sales are stable. It’s not stable and will taper off if they don’t act on it, they also only have one game. So they got lucky and it’s fragile success, it can change at anytime, t

I don’t think you’ve worked at a struggling studio before, but yes that’s just how it is, right up to the CEO. Once someone figures out a better way they’d do it in a heartbeat. Executives are no different than anyone else and they shoulder

I think they interviewed mostly people new to the gaming industry who don’t know how to manage their time under pressure, Epic isn’t an easy place if you’re not pretty senior, they expect you to know what to do with little guidance. That sa

I’m surprised that we still have precious buildings that don’t have sprinkler systems in them as that fires have been so common throughout history. The national history museum in Brazil too just recently. It seems like we should be able to

I actually see it less as a configs language issue and more that you want a program that encapsulates the patterns and logic for your app to run. So the language itself is a bit less of an issue other than it needs to support the model you’

These inheritance constructs are either missing or too ridged in the current tooling to be able to use those patterns unfortunately. Java in a lot of ways seems like an ideal language, especially with AOP, where for example you could use ex

The problem is that the declarative model doesn’t fit, so in Terraform for example they’ve added branching and for loops even, so you’re making a language at that point. But rather than keeping the logic and the data structure separate, the

I’ve seen both at sizable scales, the logic patterns are the same, the complexity almost always comes from incorrect modeling of the problem (which devops tools perpetuate). Once a problem is solved correctly, take K8s for example, then the

I think this points more to that it’s a normal project that’s developed and you need competent developers like on any software project. The DSL route was likely to dumb things down for operations people with little software experience, but

Agreed completely, the current state is like using a language with no debugger, no modern knowledge of code reuse, no real IDE integration, Terraform is especially poor on a large project since it’s parser doesn’t report line numbers on err

I believe the 3D rotation of objects differences between men and women has been known for quite a long time now, so I’m not sure what this is adding really. Also men are physically stronger than women, but women can lift weights and become

Birthdays are a bit tricky too, say you want to show if it’s someone’s birthday today. In UTC you can be off by a day, so you just have to store the date without the TZ and treat it local in every TZ.

This lacks the most critical part of ops in designing systems that are repeatable and debugable, discrete build steps on a time line. You can’t reason about any complex system without some core logic and this is most absent in operations.
