Modern LWR reactors ramp at around 5% per minute.

France & Germany use them for Load following https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Load-following_power_plant#Nuc...

Conventional nuclear is vastly more dispatchable than other fuel types

However many organisations have limited technical leadership enforcing quality, and management layers not willing to invest in these assets.

Unfortunately some 'modern' practices are being interpreted to make the processes like Agile the most important thing, and reducing the importance of things like code/system quality and knowledge management.

Having a good technical writer pays dividends

This sentence "With that, Wayfair decided to split the monorepo into smaller microservices" makes little sense.

The main reason most people have monorepos in the first place is because they have smaller microservices, and to facilitate working on them as a unit.

Google has a monorepo and what could describe as 'submit patch for code review'. Only certain engineers can approve reviews and trigger the patch being applied to the trunk.

Many of the others also have variations, but unlikely that any organisation with 1000+ engineers has a monorepo with all of those engineers directly committing to it.

Probably ranks pretty highly up there in terms of damage to company financials, due to a lack of care.

I believe Google's Security team usually gives vendors 90 days before they go public.

The core disagreement was that Amazon (and many other contributors) wanted to add that to the base distribution, and Elasticsearch fought them for years on it, deliberately breaking any community plugins that got a solution working.

Enough blame for the current situation on all sides.

The fact that the Editor-in-chief did not ensure their own processes were followed for an NSA leak is a failure.

When your job is delivering high quality UX and there are always more apps to build in the pipeline, having someone give you a library of useful components works.

I have licenses for probably 4-5 of these, and they've all saved many hours of time, and resulted in avoiding the cost of a dedicated designer.

Out of the box its quite good, depending on what you are doing, once you have cert-manager issuing you free certs, linkerd managing a service mesh, and stackdriver giving you an entire ops stack, its a bit hard to go back

Having the earnings of the higher tier directly funded by financial contributions from the lower tiers is.

I lot of MLMs have a particular 'hiding in plain site deception'. The retail margins on the consumer goods aren't where the bulk of the top tier earnings are coming from. The conferences, training materials, tapes, courses and a raft of support systems for the distributors... all produced at very little cost are the true source. This is where the generous subsidies come from.
