Except XSLT dates back to the late 90s. WASM was not even a glint in the eyes of its creators. Mozilla even used XSLT internally to drive the GUI for their browser iirc. I think based on that there is a good reason it was incorporated into browsers.

My daughter says that Northeastern is also affected. Is it more widespread? Did they infect all SaaS Canvas universities?

OCI registries.

Harbor + Notary + admission controllers - AKA private image repository with image signing.

Sigstore. Another method for signing & verifying artifacts.

This sounds kind of like Tilt and DevSpace, but for just general purpose containers. From a quick look through the website, I didn't see these features, but these would be great additions:

- File sync with the local filesystem and the container (2-way)

- Port-forwarding to localhost for debugging (I guess the DevPod way is to run the entire IDE in the container, but I love Tilt/DevSpace for allowing me to work in my local fat IDE)

This doesn't surprise me much. From what I've seen consulting/contracting, SaaS-based observability tends to cost 30-50% of cloud spend--EC2, storage, S3, RDS, maybe k8s, and other cloud services, or whatever the equivalent is on GCP/Azure. I wouldn't be surprised to see Coinbase with a >$150M quarterly cloud spend, so $65M on observability would make sense.

That said, managing observability yourself should result in <5% of cloud spend. So I'm figuring someone at Coinbase said "WTF" to this bill and migrated to Grafana/Loki or Kibana/OpenSearch or Kibana/Elastic. Well, that, and Coinbase's business also dropped off a cliff. Combined, I could easily see a one-time influx of $65M from one customer, gone the next quarter.

The beauty of EVs with respect to the grid is they present an opportunity to make our grid much more resilient and reliable, all while enabling renewables much greater percentages of our overall power generation. Renewables (well, specifically solar and wind) are very peak-y, with peaks that can overwhelm a grid and blow out transformers, and troughs that require additional power generation from other sources. This limits the base load power that can be generated from wind/solar to around 40% of total demand. Unless you have a way to store and retrieve power on demand. You’d need enough storage to handle roughly 2 days of power usage needs in order to smooth power usage to cover peaks and troughs. And, lo and behold, the typical EV car has enough power to cover a typical home for about 3 days!

If we incorporate inverters into home building standards today, we can guarantee that our EV fleet can be used to provide storage and auxiliary power for our grid and allow renewables to approach 100% of power generation. But we will need to deploy wind and solar in a distributed fashion so that power generation and storage is local to where the power is consumed. And a grid like this will be much more resilient to power outages and weather.

Watching the mission, I noticed that engines kept shutting down. There are 33 of them. When they had turned off 7 of them, with 26 engines remaining lit, it started to lose control. The engineers all seemed ecstatic about the mission. I have to wonder if they weren't intentionally shutting off engines to see how many could fail while still retaining control. If that was indeed tested, the answer appears to be 6--they can operate nominally with 27 engines lit.

Does it also emulate the wickedly slow I/O times of the CD/RW drive (er, Canon Magento Optical drive, apparently)? I seem to recall waiting really long for anything to read or write to that thing, despite the wonder of having a CD that I could erase, with 660MB of storage.

How about "The Return of the System76 AMD Laptop"?

I have one about ChatGPT. ChatGPT ends up not being useful as a replacement for junior software developers. But ChatGPT does end up taking over middle management. It is more reliable, with better results than humans, at getting software updates from developers and communicating them with coherence to upper managers. Someone will use it to develop an Agile ChatGPT, then another with a Scrum ChatGPT, and then a third, initially a joke, but later accepted as the preferred one, the Waterfall ChatGPT.

Yep. I've passed on this generation of fully electric vehicles because none of them offer physical buttons to operate the climate control.

Automatic climate controls don't cut it--change directions such that the sun starts beating down on me and I'm going to need to turn up the fans beyond what automated systems would choose. Test driving the Tesla Model S, on two separate occasions while attempting to set the climate controls I almost got into a wreck--it not only is only on the touchscreen, but also buried under something like 5 menus. WTF? Volvo XC-40 and Mustang also have no climate control buttons. In my area, all the other electric cars have a waiting list longer than a year. I want to buy electric, but safety is paramount--driving a car is far and away the most dangerous thing I do on a daily basis and I'd like it to be as safe as possible. I ended up with a Subaru this time.

Hopefully someone will make an electric car with physical buttons for the climate controls.

"table" is an antonym depending upon your location. For Americans, in the context of a discussion, the verb "table" means to set it aside and stop discussing it. For Brits, it means to bring up a topic and discuss it.

V8, at its core, is single-threaded. I think that's the reason for separate processes for each isolate.
