  • Also, any non-trivial system has failure modes that are not binary. Like, if your convertible car has the roof stuck down you can drive it, but you will be sad if it rains. So, is the car "up" or not? Similarly, if your site has writes offline for a database upgrade, but reads work fine, is it "up"?

    The concept is just advertising and something that makes sense to senior management, but provides no actual useful metrics.

  • New EU law requires devices to be repairable - Every phone, television or washing machine you buy in Europe must be easier to repair starting tomorrow. That’s when the European Right to Repair Act tak

  • When the EU mandated USB-C, Apple included a bullshit adapter so they could keep their proprietary charger. But of course if someone with an iPhone was visiting my house they wouldn't have an adapter with them. Eventually the EU bitch-slapped Apple over that nonsense and now iPhones have USB-C for charging.

    So, companies will definitely try to weasel out of serving consumers, and the EU will eventually sort them out.

  • University degrees serve at least two functions.

    One function is a sort of guarantee that you have the knowledge and skills of the particular degrees you obtain.

    The other function is to show that you are the kind of person who gets university degrees... whether that is because you are competent or just that you come from a socio-economic background that values university degrees nad can afford them.

    For that second function cheating matters very little if you don't get caught.

    For the first function, it might also not be super relevant. I had to take a humanities class for my computer science degree. If I had cheated on the theater exam it would not have made me a worse programmer. 😄
