@AChillGhost If the DMV can answer how many people have real id and how many don’t in a few seconds online, we would all have real ID by now already.

@norootcause The way I read it, I think time and pressure is the key, if you are dealing with a lower impact incident, then you have a lot more time to evaluate multiple strategies and pick least risky choice for mitigation. Talking with others also help, Which wasn’t captured in SRE blog?

@norootcause We go to library to read, which is also true for the modules in the library as they tend to have well written headers to read and adopt.

@GergelyOrosz People who have really long names can relate to this. there are different systems that limit or truncate the names and encounter weird booking errors that requires extra effort for resolving.

Great thread on roles software engineers do! Infra teams sometimes have to perform many these at the same time and that’s where scoping and prioritization helps!

As a software developer, you may be called upon to perform some of these tasks in your career.

How well a CS degree prepares you for these tasks (and whether it even should prepare you for these) is left as an exercise to the reader.

If one tweet rattles your unity, one joke rattles your faith or one show rattles your religious belief then it’s you who has to work on strengthening your value system not become ‘propaganda teacher’ for others.

1/25 Part 1 - Why does soap work so well on the SARS-CoV-2, the coronavirus and indeed most viruses? Because it is a self-assembled nanoparticle in which the weakest link is the lipid (fatty) bilayer. A two part thread about soap, viruses and supramolecular chemistry #COVID19

It is with great sadness that I share news of Joe Armstrong's passing away earlier today. Whilst he may no longer be with us, his work has laid the foundation which will be used by generations to come. RIP @joeerl, thank you for inspiring us all.

Every Patriotic Indian is disgusted by the video of a family in #Gurugram being mercilessly beaten by hooligans. The RSS/ BJP channelises bigotry & hatred for political power. This incident serves as a warning of the dangerous consequences & the dark side of that strategy.
