One of my former colleagues wrote this on how Uber approached the same CPU-quota throttling problem, but with dedicated CPUs as the solution: https://www.uber.com/dk/en/blog/avoiding-cpu-throttling-in-a...
Essentially, they avoided CFS quota throttling by assigning exclusive CPU cores via cpusets. That sacrifices some burstability and packing efficiency in exchange for stronger, more predictable CPU isolation.

The contract details are outlined in the blog post. Depending on the number of hours worked to fix some issues, it is likely fair.
> Contract terms were roughly as follows:
> * Uber reports issues to github.com/ziglang/zig and pings Loris.
> * Loris assigns it to someone in ZSF.
> * Hack hack hack hack hack.
> * When done, Loris enters the number of hours worked on the issue.
>
> Uber has a right to ZSF members’ time. We have no decision or voting power whatsoever with regards to Zig. We have right to offer suggestions, but they have been and will be treated just like from any other third-party bystander. We did not ask for special rights, it’s explicit in the contract, and we don’t want that.Comment · 4 years ago

Part 2 of the videos mentions that Notch replied, saying that he doesn’t remember where the image is from, and that it’s likely coming from a world generated with a random seed.

robots.txt is really only supposed to be used for blocking the Internet Archives first snapshot, and not to remove existing snapshots – and even this might not be the case in the future as they try to preserve most snapshots. They made a few policy changes last year[1] to how they handle robots.txt files, to handle cases where a domain is sold and a new robots.txt file would result in deleting old data among other things.

Really? It’s been discussed a lot on various podcasts, on Twitter and I’ve heard multiple people IRL talk about that use case and the slightly annoyance it is with the iPhone X.
It is pretty common for spouses to have a finger added on their spouse’s phone for unlocking it with Touch ID, e.g., when you’re driving and get a message, you can give it to your spouse who can reply.
Many parents also have a finger added on their young children’s phones.
None if these scenarios are really possible with Face ID, because you’ll end up training Face ID with two faces. And while phones are usually used by only a single person, it is not an uncommon scenario to have a secondary user.
