I still don't understand, this is a list of accidents so what? How many people are injured/died? How does that compare to other sources of energy, other sectors? How many of these were due to human incompetence and how many where

Why are they unmanageable? They are only expensive because externalities of other solutions are not captures or are subsidised. Wind and solar are expensive if battery storage is included in most of the world. Waste is mostly a solved probl

Serious question, when has there been a serious nuclear accident? Fukushima was caused by a natural disaster that killed far more people than the nuclear failure did. Chernobyl was pure communist stupidity. This level of incompetence would

What do you mean? 2021-22 was peak of the employment market. At least here in Europe. To get a job all you had to do was be breathing. It was insanity. SQL was and still is highly relevant. Especially in data related fields.

Yes, exactly. It works great. But it is not cookie cutter enough for most orgs to adopt which is what led to Scrum, SAFE and what else. And then organisations take those frameworks (often change them to get even more agility out) and adopt

I am unfamiliar with Wero. Can you explain why it is an engineering fiasco? Side note: Looking at their job listings I don't see any engineering positions (with the exception of a security engineer which is a grey area in a bank IMO),

I can recommend doing this! It really is not hard to learn the basics of electronics and you will have a better understanding of how the things around you work.

I read the “The Art of Multiprocessor Programming” and I don’t recommend it. It is very theoretical. There is no mention of practical performance considerations on real hardware. Large parts of the theory focus on lock-free and wait-free da

This is 100% fake. Why would they describe the whole interview process before rejecting them? Makes no sense.

Were you ever connected to the same Wifi network? You can probably use that for tracking too.

OTEL always seems way too complicated to use to me. Especially if you want to understand what it is doing. The code has a lot of abstractions and indirection (at least in Go). And reading this it seems a lot of people agree. Hope that can b

And it has to be cloud agnostic because we can’t get locked in! I like the cloud but it is overused and misused a lot imo.

I had a team of about 8 junior people. We would do a daily morning sync where we went over open tickets. The main purpose of the meeting was to see who was struggling with something and needed help. In my experience junior people often wait

Does not have a SQL API (or something similar). The record layer is interesting but requires your application to be build in Java.

Data modelling (in databases but I guess that also translates to the application layer to some extent). A good data model will allow you to get much further with a standard database without requiring horizontal scaling and complex caching s

> It implements row-level WAL (Write-Ahead Log) and a non-persistent undo log. This significantly reduces IO operations for write transactions. What is the downside of doing this? I assume there is a tradeoff?
