Wait—have you seen the cables in our data center? 🤌

[Richard Stephenson @nascom1]

For those @NASAVoyager aficionados. Periodically Voyager 1 will transmit 1.4kb/s PWS Digital Tape Recorder playback data, up from its normal 160b/s. To be received the DSN has to array every available antenna. Madrid's DSS63/53/54/55/56 have been booked for next week

SQLite, used in every phone and browser in the world, has 3 developers, millions of tests, and no manual testers. So don't tell me you need a 1:1 tester:engineer ratio for your "mission critical" system.

Some Alder Lake dies anyone?

You've heard that July 2023 was the warmest July on record globally, both in anomaly and absolute temperature. How did it stack up by land vs. ocean, and by hemisphere? Here are those plots. Data is from GISTEMP and the annual cycle (black line on each plot) derived from ERA5. 🧵

A frosty Monday morning in Canberra with DSS43 tracking @NASAVoyager 2. Note the mist rising from the top of the antenna dish as its warmed by the sun.

Want to work for #Intel #Labs on the future of #orchestration of #cloud/edge native apps? Maybe this is sth for you? It is a remote; you would work on stuff like #kubernetes etc.; and yes - it is cool!

This year I am seeing new ways people leverage #SLOs to improve the quality of life for developers.

Check out @befreax of Intel Labs chat on SLOs to reduce cognitive load - resulting in less required knowledge and fewer mistakes.

I am happy to confirm that Aurora looks and sounds complete (still noisy despite the water cooling). Last time I saw it at @argonne a year ago, photos were not ok yet ;-).

With Moore's death, all traitorous eight have passed away. The sum of these men's legacy is the most important industry in the world today.
