That would be for the USA or Canada. Everywhere else, macOS is perhaps a rounding error. ChromeOS gains some traction and is probably more popular than macOS in the education market at least. Windows is still king at least in the world we c

I have been in the corporate environment for more than 6 year more on the administrator/ engineering side of things. Currently, I am about a year at OrgPad - a very small and quite alternative startup. Two extremes so to say. ;-) In my

The problem with enterprise software is that the design, especially the user experience design is almost non-existent. The thing becomes clunky, it looks like it was carved into clay and makes your work perceptibly harder rather than easier

I want to write some points, why nuclear probably will not play any significant role going forward: - In 1000 tonnes of uranium ore, there is 1 tonne of uranium. This contains about 0,7% U-235 used as fuel in most civilian applications. U-2

In Germany, this would probably end badly for the owner of the car doing the filming in a public space and the vandal would probably walk free with his/ her legal fees getting paid by the owner of the car, if the vandal would caught at

Thank you for the reply. You are totally right about the dev experience and the death by thousand cuts. I really was talking about serious/ complicated systems, where you want some consistency in the components it is made of even if a

Not really. You should develop better tooling to visualize debugging information. Today's serious systems (this in my opinion includes e.g. collaborative rich text editors) are just too complicated to just eyeball. Pavel, a colleague o

I find it very annoying if appliances (or anything) emit high pitched noises. Mostly, this is just ignorant engineering (e.g. whining coils) and it often slips under the radar, because older people cannot hear those. This makes it also rath

Good networking devices, such as Wi-Fi Access Points and Switches can filter out rogue ICMPv6 Router Advertisements (usually called RA guard). Professional networks should filter these. This is very comparable to e.g. rogue DHCPv4 or DHCPv6

You can also say "Verzeihung" (as in pardon) or "Ich bitte um Verzeihung/ Entschuldigung". You wouldn't say "sorry" apologising for coming late to school/ work in Germany that would be too casual

It really depends where you are in Germany. There are places, especially in smaller communities, where casually starting a conversation waiting in line at the bakery is rather natural. I have had great conversations on trains, airplanes and

In America, you criticise by not mentioning the bad stuff in my experience. To know, what is bad is basically an exercise left to the reader. If there isn't enough praise beyond a certain threshold, you better think hard, where you mes

Now the compiler people at Google and other contributors to Chromium could be much smarter about when CSS needs to be recalculated. The behaviour really seems very arbitrary at times and there is no high-level overview we have found, how to

Yes, but only if I can use a single 2FA app or token or whatever for most things together with a password manager. My bank e.g. only allows their app as the 2nd factor and the setup is rather lengthy, you get physical post with a code etc.

Illumos is the project that multiple distributions build on from what I understand. In a way, it could be likened to GNU/ Linux as Illumos probably contains not only the kernel but other tools and libraries as well. There is e.g. omnio

Good observation, it looks like it. It probably makes upgrading/ maintenance easier since the unit of failure is smaller. Of course, you can also only tackle stuff, that demands no more than 64 cores before you have to rearchitecture y

Smaller teams will always win the communication overhead comparison even without thinking about organizational trees and therefore indirections too much. Communication is one of the biggest problems in organizations and the society, so more

It does look like it. Perhaps it is easier for maintenance, if you don't want to start with a full rack. The upgrade granularity is higher.

They use a bus bar design. That is what @bcantrill also said in an interview.

Yes, well it isn't that dense either. As I have written, it's 32 CPUs (16x 2 CPUs). 1 TB of RAM per CPU is not that huge a deal, it's perhaps 16x 64 GB (Milan uses 8 channels, 2 DIMMs per channel is reasonable), if you consid

They will use Illumos with Bhyve, @bcantrill said it in a podcast just a few months ago. I have linked it somewhere in my comments (look at my profile).

As for the website, some of the animations could use a spring like movement profile to feel more physical. The website also isn't reachable over IPv6, so I would be very careful with the promised IPv6 capabilities of the server too ;-)

Leaving that RAM for ZFS L2 ARC perhaps? I don't think they would use Illumos as the hypervisor OS without also using OpenZFS with it. They also need some for management, the control UI, a DB for metrics and more. Btw. if I count corre

Actually, standard Azure rack is on the order of $1.1 mm of hardware depending on SKU if I am not mistaken. So I would guess, it could be more like $2 mm. There is the aspect of management and other vendors Dell/EMC + VMware like you t

"Only" 2048 CPU cores per rack is actually not that much by nowadays standards - its 16 U of 2x 64 core CPUs. Perhaps is could be more U if they used the lower core counts but e.g. higher frequency per core SKUs but I don't t

But we don't know, how the situation would unfold, if he was at school after the incident, do we? I hope, this kid will like science after this whole thing is over still. It really seems, he was wrongly accused (as in the movie The Fug

Well, 12 years worth of _authorized_ absence (so maybe like 3,5 months in total) _on average_. I know of people, who maybe had a few days of absence in total over the 12 years of schooling. I know of people, who missed more than a year in t

You are completely right of course. Even if the victim was ok and doing quite alright, the injustice doesn't disappear. I tried to suggest, the punishment of 3 months of no school might be perceived as pseudo-punishment (or maybe even

I was replaying to a different anecdote. The kid is another casualty of us engineers and managers not doing our job in migrating to IPv6 in the last ~20 years or so. The world IPv6 launch was actually 10 years ago, there was plenty time to

I think you are grossly underestimating the psychological impact of for whatever reason being labeled such and such and being at school. There are schools that are mostly a happy place, I know a few. The general case however is you spend ~1
