I don't want to get too deep into caffeine addiction so I drink mostly decaffeinated coffee. Am I just cheating myself?

No, there’s benefits from drinking coffee whether it’s caffeinated or not.

Ah, it’s good to know that. Unfortunately my stomach feels a bit weird after too much coffee. Wish I could drink more.

Congratulations. A fulfilling life.

TBF they are still hiring a lot of eng people from US/UK/EU:

TBF, it depends on the number of outages locally. In my area it is one outage every thunderstorm/snow storm, so unfortunately the up time of my laptop, even with the help of a large, portable battery charging station (which can charge multiple laptops at the same time), is not optimistic.

I sometimes fancy that I could just take cash, go into the wood, build a small solar array, collect & cleanse river water, and buy a starlink console.


Costco had a deal on solid-state UPS & solar panels a while back that I was happy to partake of

Yeah, I'd guess I average a power drop once a month or so at home. Never calculated the nines of uptime average, but it's not that infrequent.

I know when I need to reset the clock on my microwave oven.


99.9 is like 9 hours of downtime a year.

Far more achievable pricing and logistics than even ten years ago.

I wonder anyone from internal could share the culture a bit. I'm mostly interested in the following part:

If someone messes up royally, is there someone who says "if you break the build/whatever super critical, then your ass is the grass and I'm the lawn mower"?


My guess is that CF has so many external customers that they need to move fast and try not to break things. My hunch is that their culture always favors moving fast. As long as they are not breaking too many things, customers won't leave them.

There is nothing wrong with moving fast and deploying fast.

I'm more talking about how slow it was to detect the issue caused by the config change, and perform the rollback of the config change. It took 20 minutes.


I think everyone favors moving fast. We humans want to see results of our action early.

I always fondly recall certain scenes in YM/YPM.

Edited the title a bit to fit it here. I'm just wondering, is it legit? Could be a big breakthrough if it's legit I think.

Link to MGL v4 programmer guide seems to be broken. I’m super curious about this technique — can we do the same nowadays for modern Windows and video cards?

Fixed it. Sorry about that.

Thanks! Great write-up as always.

Thanks addaon, looks like exactly the same as the teams (neither is low level) I worked for.
