  • It was $5k worth of training, and well worth it, since you still remember the lesson.

    Reminds me of an issue while carrier-testing a to-be-released smartphone. The third party hired to do this testing would sideload an app to run the tests, but it would try to do something hinky in the background with logging, leading to an infinite retry loop for opening a nonexistent file, effectively doubling the device’s power consumption.





  • It draws unfortunate parallels.

    I do agree that the proposals to abolish “black” feel a bit misguided though surely well-intentioned; the etymology of “blacklist,” for example, has no relation to race whatsoever. However, there are unfortunate parallels with how “black” and “white” people were and indeed are still treated differently.
