You get to get rid of service level managers, one of the biggest threats to service availability in my industry experience, and you begin to hate downtime, not tolerate it, and the same for performance degradation, response jitter etc.
Bonus points: you could potentially rip out the bus and replace it with something that involves peer to peer connectivity without changing client data structures.
Jake makes creating a local-first multiplayer app seem so simple.
Good news on the judge throwing out most of the “basically everything is securities fraud” charges, though.
I’m not sure how much of this was connected to what seemed to be a multi-generational familial problem recalling proper nouns.
As someone who didn’t grow up there it was a bit different to what I was used to - named roads or road numbers, named settlements or geographic identifiers.
The Union competency in question had been established by treaty - the establishment and protection of the Single Market, and as I understand it, specifically the provisions restricting state aid - where by being members of the Union, countries have delegated regulatory and judicial primacy to organs of the Union.
The general research program seems very interesting, things like Embark have that special kind of simplicity that comes from long and deep thinking about a problem.
Consider changing the front page of your site to the README.
Apparently it's not done frequently enough. Or you know, upgradable software defined radio receivers embedded in the facility or ship that turn on at random times to sample the local RF environment for unpleasant surprises.
I mean, even payments service providers must scan for rogue access points in datacenters and office locations, surely, surely this is SOP for the US Navy?
Who is actually running anything of any use in the US Navy? Things like cointel? Nuclear safety? Goodness knows how bad things are.
The situation has gotten quite out of control in terms of the shortage of availability of housing given the abject failure of government to permit and encourage building where people actually want or need to live as well as current demographic trends (much smaller households is a much bigger driver over the last generation than even net immigration IMO).
It's not just making it so, so hard to build (very slow processes for planning approval, incorrect balancing act on nitrogen dioxide emissions between home building and intensive - and gross - animal factories who have captured the political narrative recently and are using more trad farmers to push their narrative) but also the almost terminal failure of the semi-state woningcorporaties who are chartered to build and manage affordable housing stocks in exchange for insanely cheap capital and other benefits - instead not building, selling off their stock to private landlords and providing luxe BMWs with chauffeurs to their directors and VPs.
What building seems to happen is aimed at the top 5% in (sale price) value of the market in the big cities. It's interesting to rich Syrians and Chinese and Americans, but doesn't solve the urgent housing availability problem.
Private landlords have then behaved rationally, but badly, with very hefty increases of rental amounts, in a society that expects that renters should be able to establish themselves for long durations - possibly even generations - even in rental accomodation.
The shortage of affordable housing has resulted in politically-unsustainable situation due to the terrible impacts on low and middle income earners, especially young people expecting to be able to have a job and live away from their parents.
Thus, a very correct tightening up of the rules about landlord behaviours and especially pricing to decrease the political pain. But it's a band-aid, and only takes part of the sting of the problem away.
Without a huge campaign of home building infill, brown-field construction and mandating - yes, regulation - income-segment representation on what is built occurs (ie if there are five rough income bands, then the type, size, finish, and price of what is built in a region in a year should match the percentage of folks in those bands), the problem is going to get worse and not better.
Fire the woningcorporatie CEOs every year if they don't hit provincial house-building and tenant growth targets. They and their gravy-train pals won't like it and will lean heavily on local government for permitting improvements.
And really, let's shaft the intensive animal factory owners and build houses instead.
Perhaps the eagle-eyed Rijkswaterstaat employee should receive an honorarium from the insurance companies and Gemeente Amsterdam.
Also “Operating staff also received extra training.” - just like a standard SaaS major incident wrap up…
It’s destroyed the mystique.
I especially like the colour palettes.
I wish that the Vue storybook showed the demo component first. I wish ALL storybooks did that actually!
I’m off to read the literature on paıdeía and how it might relate to the idea of Bildung.
I think that last sentence means I’ve been mentally colonised by the Valley-men…
But I do think his analysis of the mechanisms and processes of management failure is on the money, at least what I’ve observed from close up.
I've just stumbled on keila.io - open source, bring your own email provider, nice enough block editor, they can host or self-hosted (still don't understand the business model, but hey ho)
Any other open source newsletter platforms not on 4ar0n's list?
Edit: forgot hosted or self-host
