Isn’t tech lead in that weird place where your success is starting to get more dependent on your team’s success, while still possibly having to be a subject area expert?

Bold to make a prediction like that. But I think perhaps the author doesn't understand Kubernetes as much -- you can run Webassembly as the runtime for Kubernetes, and get the other things Kubernetes provide, such as self-healing. It&#

I love toe socks! I will say though, just wearing them or going barefoot does not naturally encourage the toes to spread out. There's a specific way of training that comes from the martial art world, where the connective tissues among

I have no idea. But this article goes into some of the other signals. The more signals you have, the more you can uniquely identify a device. It also goes into how GDPR covers this (but you would then depend on the government enforcing comp

The current techniques pushes as many signals as possible to get a device fingerprint, which is then correlated with activity. It uses the pre-LLM machine learning methods to get such a picture. Sources of these signals are often abuses of

No, I am not referring to grass-fed premium meat. The kind of ranching practice I am thinking of goes beyond just raising cows in a pasture. I also don't live on the coast. I'm not sure where you got that idea from. I don't k

The "high density" animal farms are the feed lots I was talking about, the very ones I'm calling a blight. I also address this in my fourth point -- price of meat would need to reflect not using feed lots. It's only not

I can only speculate that there are still just enough startup techies in San Francisco to keep the echo chamber going. Maybe it helps with getting VC funding?

First, feed lots are a blight. Feed lots are not the only way to raise livestock. Second, there is very much a way to manage water while ranching — the main thing is to have the herds help you maintain healthy soil (which retains and regula

There are a lot of patterns similar to this idea of recycling water that is usable for agriculture. The main thing with agriculture is managing ground water onsite with rainwater harvesting. By that, I specifically do not mean holding it in

I don’t know why this author frames it this way. Recycling greywater is an old technology. People in Tuscon pioneered municipal laws to allow this, which then spread across Arizona. Blackwater treatment comes in many forms — your septic tan

That’s interesting. I don’t hear some of the other issues, such as updating and propagating changes to servers and clients. (Although, I wonder to what extent AI can help with that).

To be fair and a counterpoint to that, there was a recent paper that was posted here about training AI using dataset that included generated data from AI. They simulated what would happen and found that, the outliers became smaller and the

You know who else feeds their output back into their own input? People who develop delusions that eventually lead to a psychotic break. I literally watched a friend do this over the course a few days before his family got him into a mental

Especially now that user generated content is AI training gold. User data has always been the core of freemium apps and “aggregators”: land-grab as many users as you can with a free, great product, so you can own a lot user data. We just di

Yup, being someone who has done both dev and ops, that is what I see too. In my current current company, the operations group’s name changed from “techops” to “platform”, … but there is no “platform” or roadmap towards that, and it is refle

Neat term. I might steal that for my resume. Intuition does play a good part of it for me, though I have worked with good troubleshooters who are more methodical and rely less on intuition for these situations. But then again, having these

My understanding is that the roots with the bacterial nodules gets released back to the soil upon death of the plant. So for example, sea buckthorn will spread out roots and propogate. You’d add the nitrogen back by either severing the root

I’m not an Indian, though I don’t find that paradoxical, since I know how influential the story of Rama and Sita is to the Indian culture. That story is held as the ideal of relations between a husband and wife. And then there is the story

One thing I like about phind.com is that it ties the specific assertions to the specific web page it made it from. That allows me to check into the sources. However, like all generative AI, it’s good at forming narratives, and not many peop

Continuing from above — in “Indian Matchmaking”, what pops up over and over again is that you will never have “100%” of what you are looking for in a partner. Every young person she helps with always start a list of qualities of their ideal

Letting shit go is more or less what I hear from those 25+ year Indian couples with arranged marriages (from Netflix show, “Indian Matchmaking”), though they call it “tolerance”. The thing is, how many people truly and honestly let shit go?
