Inside you there are two wolves. One is active, the other one is on hot standby and becomes active if the first one fails or is taken down for maintenance. Add more wolves as necessary for increased redundancy load balancing. A quorum badger can be added for environments with multiple active wolves.

It is really hard to watch people willfully tear down an infrastructure that allowed us to double lifespans, drastically reduce poverty, and become one of the richest countries in the world.

Sorry, but I really hope people who love THE WILD ROBOT movie know it was inspired by my book. It's mentioned in the credits but most people don't read that stuff. If you love the movie you should check out the book! There's more to the story and it's a quick read.

It's been a while (decades) since I did a bitslice architecture, but I managed to make it work. Also my most manual answer in a long time.

I'm doing a lot of technical analysis these days and nothing raises red flags higher than the overuse of buzzwords to explain commodity technologies.
Boring technologies that just work are exciting. It means your customers can buy your product and move on to something else. Focus on that.

Top 1000 for the first time this year. Part 2 was running slow, so I got up to get a drink and think about how to make it faster, and when I got back it was done. Still, I should improve it.

To be fair I don’t think I could handle working in the Trump White House unless I was completely fucked up on benzos
@NBCNews: The White House Medical Unit had “severe and systemic problems” with their pharmacy operations and provided health care to ineligible staffers before the Biden administration, according to a scathing inspector general report. https://t.co/AcDXSz0rpe

Some lawyers would argue that you should get started BEFORE the $83.3 million verdict and possibly even before trial.

I had resolved last New Year's Day to build my bunker for riding out the Apocalypse, but after shopping around in 2023 for a bunker plan that fit my budget, I've decided that in 2024 I will generously cast my lot with the rest of humanity.
