Space-junkie me is back, this time reading about the innumerable opportunities that SpaceX’s Starship will offer once it becomes operational, hopefully no later than this year or the next. In his Science Upside for Starship , the exceptionally knowledgeable Casey Handmer makes a case for Starship relevance in the future of space exploration by listing an astounding number of reasonable use-cases for the vessel. I think it is relatively..

In any organization, the role of a manager is crucial to ensure that the team performs to its full potential. As teams grow larger and more complex, managing them effectively becomes increasingly challenging. At a certain point, you need to subdivide the team into several teams and make the decision to either promote or hire additional managers. This is where a director takes on the role of a “manager of managers.

Over the years, although a tremendously valuable tool, IntelliJ IDEA started to feel slowed down, even on these latest M1 Pro machines. It’s become frustrating. I disabled as many plugins as not needed. However, it’s still not sufficient. I have discovered that you can improve the performance by switching IDEA to the latest JDK. JetBrains has its runtime with its patches for HiDPI supports, performance improvements, and bugfixes for running..

Let’s say we have two distributions $X$ and $Y$, and we want to express the “absolute difference” between them. This abstract term could be expressed in various ways. My favorite approach is to build the Doksum’s shift function . In order to do this, for each quantile $p$, we should calculate $Q_Y(p)-Q_X(p)$ where $Q$ is the quantile function. However, some people prefer using the shift distribution $Y-X$. While both approaches may provide..

The following is from a essay from a class on German literature and film. Fritz Lang’s movie Metropolis is primarily about the struggle between the oppressed working class and the ruling elite. What drives this tension, however, is a particular view of technology and technological progress that exacerbates the problems the film focuses on. This mentality is called high modernist ideology by Scott in his book Seeing Like a State : ....

Comments Problems Isn’t it great when a problem fixes itself? I’ve seen this happen more often with people systems than with technology. Ignore that email a couple of days and it’s likely not to be a problem anymore. With technology we usually have to take some action. Reboot a server, add a sleep, or add more resources. It’s not a “fix” but the problem isn’t visible for a little while so we can go back to doing other things.

Always be closing. Always be closing. Alec Baldwin’s character in Glengarry Glen Ross Welcome to part 7 of the series on “How to be a game changer”. You can find the previous posts here 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 . As an engineer, I’ve had an aversion to sales for a long time. It seemed like something which doesn’t add value in the grand scheme of things, but instead it just shuffles it around. I had this view of sales bein....

So we recently stumbled over this project over here , and while the idea seemed pretty based, somea the answers, uh, might need some… adjustments. We're talking , in the meantime, I made a fork which's available here , license stayed the same as original, source code's at our website's source code. Oh, just a small heads up: Our Mumble server's apparently broken rn. Might be we'll take't down forever. More information soon™ ^^ So, th..

First: Avoid Being Chased Down # I live in Italy and, when I was a child, I didn’t really believe in Santa – I was already asking too many questions. I didn’t mind too much being a good child to receive nice gifts, but a few hundreds of kilometers from me, things were (are!) quite different. In the Eastern Alps, in Austria, Slovenia and other Slavic countries, naughty children are not gifted with black coal by the Befana , as in Italy.....

Flashing SAS Cards feels like a trip to the 90s, with all the peculiarities included. This particular LSI SAS9201-16e card left me puzzled, until I realized it is the Supermicro variant that needs special handling. Let's see if I can pull together the important pieces, so that those who come after me don't need to give up on their cards.

I have been editing the next science fiction book. The plan is to hire an editor to go through it as well, since the previous books made enough income to pay for that. Editing will be the first service I pay for in my self-publishing journey. If things continue to go well, I might start buying proper on-market covers as the next step (but I also really like designing my own covers, so we’ll see…it’s just that I know nothing I come up with w..

At a previous job, we had a new and fancy office. The light switches were state of the art. There was an on button, and a separate off button. When you pressed the on button, the lights would fade on. When you pressed the off button, they would fade off. In the cloud somewhere was two functions that presumably looked a bit like this: fun turnOnLamp() { while (!bright()) increaseBrightness(); } fun turnOffLamp() { while (!dark()) decreaseBr..

How to Solve It , but for operational incidents. Engineers with site reliability responsibilities are often faced with operational issues (incidents) that have an unknown cause and uncertain solution. How to Solve It is a classic work describing heuristics for solving mathematical problems. There have been adaptations of this book for different domains, but none yet for software-intensive operations. Within this study, we aim to build ....
