I'm kinda climbing out of one as well. One thing sounds strangely esoteric, but I've found it very useful for my creativity to just take breaks from the constant input barrage the internet can offer. It feels like those beat down

Hm. I'm not sure if you'd end up with a geyser. Assume a chimney fire first. It's like a square pipe with 20cm - 30cm side length and - depending on how active it is - 200 - 400 degrees in there. That's already a conditi

It's interesting though. The container orchestration at work has kind of moved past the initial scary phase, and kinda past the first honeymoon phase. In the beginning, it was like "Oh we can use all kinds of technology in there,

It also strongly depends on the branching factor. Like, if you're in a chess midgame, there might still 6 major pieces and 4 or 6 minor pieces and tons of pawns on the board. It's tricky to calculate far into the future. At each n

This is for example why we, as a company, rather took 2 hours to escalate Log4Shell internally. Which was like 2-3 hours before it went globally holy shit. We took the time to analyze the vulnerability, and multiple competent people conclud

Ew, we've had similar issues in the past. These are really messy and confusing to recognize. In our case, 1 out of 5 LB instances lost its connection to the service discovery and later on ended up not knowing about a failover of one of

Hm, for me, fighting climate change is something I'm starting to look vaguely optimistic about. Some people are very defeatist there - china is just going to pollute more for every reduction so nothing matters and similar arguments. An

Hmm, after tinkering around a bit, I think according to https://github.com/yWorks/svg2pdf.js/issues/82 , the mask element in the giraffe SVGs is not supported in the PDF converter. It is just dropped, leafing

A good way to package possibly negative feedback is to formulate it as an I-message, or an observation and go from there: "I find this method to be overwhelmingly long and it's hard to keep track through all of it. However, it loo

It's not strictly from the technical writing corner, but I've learned a lot from the book "The Craft of Scientific Writing" by Micheal Allay. It's more geared towards scientific papers, but I've found the style

Hm. Stuxnet feels less like a normal software project, and more like a NASA mission. Something like a botnet can run updates and patches, and you have a much easier time to iterate, optimize and also to fail in less than catastrophic ways.

About 10 or 15 years ago, OracleDB was years and years ahead of other databases. They had better replication, they had a better query optimizer, they had better storage management. OracleDB was the big thing you wanted in a business for a r

These specific customers were not reasonable though. They wanted to specifically know when and how the software breaks, because they had been burned by previous vendors. Eventually sales reacted with a rather frustrated "then pay us 10

Interesting. As a SaaS vendor, we do not allow performance testing of the production system. Because, you know, just casually saturating production resources can become very iffy for strange and unexpected reasons. And you will always be ab

I also learned a bunch of weird things about python from this, like the really gritty details of assignments and such. It's surprisingly messy once you leave the beaten good path. I also learned that there is python code which causes a

Yes. However, with more and more teams, and more and more languages, this communication, and especially planning and executing these upgrades and changes while providing rollbacks for all languages becomes harder and harder. It's very

It would be a rather dangerous precedent if they don't care about the save games. On some games, the world / game save file can have hundreds of hours invested into it. If they were just like "well sucks, we might lose it, eh

5 - 10 years back, Oracle was very far ahead of the database game and there was no practical competitor regarding performance, query optimization, storage management and enterprisey management features. For quite some time, if you needed a

We're running Nomad, but that's just a detail. The great thing for both development teams and the ops team is that the container orchestration starts working as a contract between the teams. This allows building more of a framewor

If I recall right this depends on the original message length and 1 bit is a bit of an edge case. If you transfer just 1 bit, you're very space constrained and it's hard to do much. 1 bit to 1 bit has nothing, 1 bit to 2 bits has

Additionally, as far as I know, after 1.12, the development of minecraft paced up and a lot of internals of minecraft changed. This turns the update of mods past 1.12 into a complete rewrite most of the times, which has burned out quite a f
