For me, The Princess Bride and the animated Disney Sword in the Stone (and a bit later, The Hobbit) shaped my early understanding of Europe and gave me a life-long love of Europe and European history. I even migrated here from the US in my

Are they different than Audi? I bought a new S5 last year and a big part of the choice was that, while there is a touchscreen, all the basic important controls have duplicates on the steering wheel or center console. I never have to touch i

This always encourages a human strategy where the optimal behavior is to sandbag in whatever way the AI is measuring your progress, and then slingshot past them once the opportunity arises. Not to say that can't be fun for some people,

But surely even not "smart" people get to experience the awful reality of things, and realize that there isn't much you can do about it?

Very much the same here. I grew up without security of those things either, and never quite managed to lose the appreciation or happiness in finding a career in tech that pulled me out of that. Buddha-like dispassionate observation of my si

The thought leadership seems to be to get Dev and Ops to work directly together and avoid handoffs by creating a totally separate department called DevOps and having them do all their handoffs with dev and ops. You can call them platform en
