The entire incentive structure and cycle at FAANG and FAANG-like companies requires relentless self-promotion and buck-passing not just to move up but to _not get fired_. Many of these companies have levels with a clock attached, where if t

Organizations with savvy legal and security teams are going to either not do this in jurisdictions where it's not legal, not do it at all, or be very quiet about it. I'm not a security professional so take this with a grain of sal

Sure! I use TP-Link Omada access points and a mix of managed L2 switches (TP-Link, Unifi, Brocade, Mikrotik). My router is VyOS running on a used commodity SFF box. I know you can accomplish the same thing with Unifi access points and secur

I don't think that's really the use case I'm describing. Maybe I'm doing a bad job, I dunno. The use case is essentially user logic for event stream processing, where the events are things like "received an email&qu

I'm not sure if it's mainstream but my thoughts on server-side WASM always run to user-provided logic. WASM provides a helpful building block for a generic user-provided logic sandboxed runtime. Think about a workflow engine embed

While you're doing insulation and vapor barrier might as well replace all the windows too. Think of the efficiency gains!

A little bit but not much. They're a contactor, a GFCI, some current sensors and limiters, a small section to determine if the EVSE is operating at L1 or L2, and a small microcontroller to control it all. They're very simple devic
