Sodium-ion batteries are only starting, their price floor in a few years will make solar energy unmatched in price for energy production. This is the first proof point that the technology is viable - a customer is stumping up big cash.

Yes, coding agents have reduced the skills/knowledge required to operate workloads on virtualized hardware. K8S and its ecosystem has changed so that it now provides 90% of what you need from the public cloud providers. Big changes tha

It certainly feels like Netflix is now a k8s shop. And it probably only a matter of time until they start repatriating workloads to optimize for costs. Then the world will sit up and notice.

How could they release something that doesn't support atomic rename and has no prospect of supporting atomic rename? Lots of workloads will crash and burn on this layer.

Files can be immutable if you have mutable metadata - but S3 does not have mutable metadata, so you can't rename a directory without a full copy of all its contents. Immutable files can be solved by chunking them, allowing files to be
