panzagl··on Decisions that eroded trust in Azure – by a former Azure Core engineer
This article is like a cockroach in a restaurant dining room. Azure has one, GCP/AWS does not.
panzagl··on The 'paperwork flood': How I drowned a bureaucrat before dinner
Unplug fax, no one gets benefits that day, simple fix and the office's day just got a little easier. What was already printed goes in the shred bin.
panzagl··on The Los Angeles Aqueduct Is Wild
0.5% is like the literal definition of a rounding error.
panzagl··on Full Disclosure: A Third (and Fourth) Azure Sign-In Log Bypass Found
Ah, so you're worried about the review team being misrepresented, not that Azure is shit.
panzagl··on Full Disclosure: A Third (and Fourth) Azure Sign-In Log Bypass Found
It's only libelous if it's not true. This vulnerability says otherwise.
panzagl··on Full Disclosure: A Third (and Fourth) Azure Sign-In Log Bypass Found
In those types of reviews/audits, documentation is the first indicator of whether a security organization has their act together. It's about building a trust relationship between the accreditor and contractor that will have to endure for years, as nation-state level actors throw their resources at finding vulnerabilities. MS couldn't do this or couldn't be bothered to do this. So shit documentation -> shit security processes and operations -> shit security -> shit cloud product in a government context. So the title wasn't that much of a stretch.
panzagl··on Honda is killing its EVs
Quick google math says you get 6 tires from a barrel of oil vs roughly 20 gallons of gas. Unless EVs mean you change tires every 300 miles or so I think we're good.
panzagl··on The bureaucracy blocking the chance at a cure
Rockets with unrestricted flow are called bombs.
panzagl··on The bureaucracy blocking the chance at a cure
> More and more promising treatments are accumulating in the pipeline, fueled by an explosion of new therapeutic modalities, ranging from mRNA to better peptides and more recently, by AI.

If the pipeline is backed up you put a bigger pipe in place, not get rid of it and hope some of the resulting flood goes where you want.

panzagl··on US Job Market Visualizer
There are a lot of education and curriculum companies pitching basically this- replace those 'expensive' teachers with aides making minimum wage as all they need to do is recite curriculum and help them log in to be evaluated.
panzagl··on Lost Doctor Who Episodes Found
Risk or benefit?
panzagl··on Lego's 0.002mm specification and its implications for manufacturing (2025)
> My kids have a photographic memory of each of those special pieces and which set they came from.

Read the whole sentence- this is clearly an informal use of 'photographic memory' to indicate that his kids are really into Lego and keep track of details in the way only kids can.

panzagl··on To understand our fascination with crystals, researchers gave some to chimps
The study was in Spain- do European countries have the same sort of backlash to this stuff? Is there a province in Spain that has the equivalent to 'the senator from Indiana' that is the stereotypical anti-NSF figure in US politics? Genuinely curious about this.
panzagl··on MacBook Neo
Well, exactly. A lot of comments in this thread are 'these will take back the education market' when in reality it will just slightly extend it to a slightly lower income demographic than the upper middle class districts that use Apple now.
panzagl··on MacBook Neo
There are schools where close to 100% of the kids are qualified low income.
panzagl··on Overall, the colorectal cancer story is encouraging
I hate to break it to you, but Millennials aren't a younger generation anymore...

though I'm not sure they drank any more than the 2-3 generations that proceeded them.

panzagl··on How did Windows 95 get permission to put Weezer video 'Buddy Holly' on the CD?
Probably a US high school, where off-campus lunch is usually reserved for older students.
panzagl··on AI needs to augment rather than replace humans or the workplace is doomed
> I expected more/better from folks who digest mathematical proofs and Arxiv papers for funsies

Hate to break it to you, but the real hard problems are in the humanities.

panzagl··on 2 in 5 Americans did not read a single book in 2025
Well, some of the words are duplicates.
panzagl··on Stargaze: SpaceX's Space Situational Awareness System
I think this is more that the offending satellite was at that point the responsibility of the satellite operator, not the launch operator.
panzagl··on Douglas Adams on the English–American cultural divide over "heroes"
Charlie Brown is actually pretty big right now- my gen z daughter has her entire classroom decked out in him and he's over Target, etc. He fits in with the cozy subculture part of gen z.
panzagl··on Linux Runs on Raspberry Pi RP2350's Hazard3 RISC-V Cores (2024)
Thanks for linking this, I would not have expected this usage (more from the iPad side being locked down) and it has inspired some thought.
panzagl··on Gundam is just the same as Jane Austen but happens to include giant mech suits
That must have been in the BBC version of Pride...
panzagl··on Are the Three Musketeers allergic to muskets? (2014)
Lawrence Ellsworth's translations are good (he's a sword and sorcery writer), but good luck trying to disambiguate them on Amazon. Look for red cursive titles.
panzagl··on The RAM shortage comes for us all
Hear me out- artisanal DRAM.
panzagl··on Advent of Sysadmin 2025
I guess no one ever audits your servers.
panzagl··on The last-ever penny will be minted today in Philadelphia
Bring back the Eisenhower dollar!

I read Steven Levy too- the original hackers were model railroaders. And there are no true Scotsmen
panzagl··on The Hacker’s Manifesto (1986)
I believe Adam Savage has relayed the Plumber's Manifesto at some point: 1 Shit flows downhill 2 Payday's on Friday
