*One of the systems that we are aware of

"DigitalOcean Caused an Outage for Our Company" seems like a more accurate title.

Oh... But I wasn't talking about salary, and Junior DevOps is most definitely a thing.

This seems all too often the case with development work in general. I see the same type of unreasonable expectations in devops.

Maybe it's compounded by the software industry liking to hire young people with less experience but more free time. They may not yet have the soft skills to navigate unreasonable demands and give hard answers, and logistically a single person can more easily pull extra hours.

I've found that as I get older it has become easier to push back on unpaid overtime type work (or simply not do it). Because it would be damaging to my family and relationships if I didn't, and that's a powerful motivator for me.

But at the same time it's hard to compete with the output of people who somehow can grind all day every day, and through the weekend. I don't know if there's a way to level the playing field as long as employers are allowing and even encouraging this kind of unpaid self sacrifice.

Layman question -- Does the MCAS system take current height from terrain into account when forcing the nose down?

you're hired!

What is the infosec analogue to swatting? To me it seems part denial of service attack (distracting resources with false event), and part amplification attack (a small action triggers intense potentially violent response)

The fact that it's possible for a child to trigger a "swat" where people can and have died highlights a significant vulnerability in the procedures currently used by police.

Why isn't more effort being put into making these processes safer for civilians?

Drives used to be really freaking small

I honestly can't say I understand the draw to drop significant money on a new set of headphones that need to be charged at least as often as a my phone, and can't be charged while being used.

I've had the same set of high quality in-ear wired headphones for the last 5 years or longer and have zero issues with them (I just replace the foam every so often for about $5). What is the improvement I am missing here?

Software is versioned in numerical order which is pretty intuitive. At a glance it's clear which versions are minor updates, and which are major.

Cars are versioned by year/model, which again makes it pretty clear to understand minor/major updates. Sometimes significant updates are introduced in a model year, but generally the core features remain the same and it could still be considered an upgrade to that model.

Without a clear and intuitive versioning scheme it can be confusing and time consuming to make sense of a product line. And that gets frustrating if it keeps changing.

I deleted my facebook account maybe a year ago. It was like ripping off a band-aid.

It felt bad for a short period of time due fear of missing out on family/friends and whatnot. But shortly after I realized that I'm feeling less distracted and not falling into the scroll-hole as often.

And as a small bonus, on my last birthday I received actual texts and calls from actual friends instead of "me too" comments on a fb post.

> Uninterrupted Voice The same krispNet DNN, trained on hundreds of hours of customized data, is able to perform Packet Loss Concealment (predicting lost network packets) for audio and fill out missing voice chunks by eliminating "chopping" in voice calls.

This is both fascinating and horrifying at the same time! I wonder if/when it would be possible to rewrite whole words in real time using a voice that sounds just like you.

As someone who works remotely I'll go out to the coffee shop for some brief human interaction. Sometimes it's the only time in the day I interact with people outside my home.

Personally I don't see the draw to a goofy robotic arm that slings espresso. Vending machines are already a thing, coffee included. This just seems like an excessively expensive way to implement one.

Meanwhile those who control companies with virtually limitless resources successfully lobby against changes wanted by individuals. It's unethical, and unfair. Sickening articles like this are necessary to raise awareness about how imbalanced the system is.

Note to self: revoke ssh keys of users found to be using this.

Except the high healthcare prices are paid by the working class...

To the people complaining about the format, does it make more sense if you look at it in the context of a social media story? It looks weird as images presented vertically on the New York times website. But this would be right at home in an instagram feed.

I personally appreciate the hand drawn look and artwork, but supplementing that with a text version would be an improvement for many reasons.

This makes me wonder, what are other viable revenue sources for content creators besides ads?

Personally I don't mind listening to a few ads on a podcast because I assume it is helping the creator cover their living expenses so that they may continue creating content that I enjoy. And spoken ads (hopefully) are not tracking me, although I suppose there are ways to overlay inaudible tones that other devices can pick up, etc.
