2 things: we’re going to see pay cuts (because convenience and it’s easier for the drones) and your life quality is also going to be impacted (work/personal life separation? bye bye and good luck)

iteration is my middle name :) the point I was trying to make is you should be prepared - if only for the 95% of the cases that the runbook can solve. you also don't start with a complete runbook - you build it as you operate the servi

i’m not saying a runbook will catch everything. but it will give you a chance to solve the problem quicker.

you most definitely can and you should. there are steps that you can do to gather the info and the linked example shows basic things to try. when you exhaust the run-book is when you start digging

that’s a pretty good and detailed explanation. 2 things: 1) i hope they have a runbook for situations like this (ie the support engineer does not have to figure all this on the fly) 2) the customer should have provides more details and mayb

uber never seemed like a rational company that thinks of the good of its employees (i know it’s a business, but still). the cut deep, cut once method for layoffs is doing business 101, but still there are 2 rounds of layoffs at uber

for a definition of conscious yes. the problem is that we don’t really understand what consciousness is and we tend to anthropomorphize everything. what if consciousness is the synchronicity of the observations of the outside world with the

i don’t believe this is doable. you would have to observe the state and after that rebuild the state precisely. that’s a pipe dream. we like to believe we are in state A and transition to state B, but the brain (and our body) is one massive

just because those constants are incompatible with our current understanding does not mean it's not possible, even if only on a theoretical level.

right. it's more like copy-on-write than a completely different replica. also, the probability of the outcomes is not the same (ie some worlds may be more equal/present than others). it's questionable if it's one world o

this is really cool. i think that all developers at some point end up writing a CHIP8 emulator. I've done mine in C back in the day. It's as easy as it gets and you get some basic knowledge on what goes into an emulator. again: re

in theory, it’s a secure as the kernel if your code does the right thing. that being said, the attack surface is wider than say if you would run it in a VM or its own physical machine

here is a secret: there is no such thing as a container. it’s an abstraction we made up and containers rely on kernel features. if you use those features correctly it’s as secure as it gets - chances are that if you’re going to roll your ow
