‘I never really enjoyed Bordeaux En Primeur. I felt like we were some sort of performing monkeys. We were just there to help them sell, which is not my favourite function. I’ve been quite vocal that I think it’s a slightly flawed process – as is now being shown.’
Today, I’ll cover 5 practices that are considered ‘common wisdom’, and why I think worth reconsidering them.
- Don’t reinvent the wheel – find a package
- Every PR must be reviewed
- 2-4 week sprints are how modern teams work
- Every code change should be behind a feature flag/gate
- If a comment is needed, the code is too complex
There is one takeaway this article provides that definitely holds true:
- Local models are far more capable than they’re given credit for, even for coding.
It also explains the process of setting up a local coding model and technical information about doing so which is helpful for anyone wanting to set up a local coding model. I would still recommend doing so.
This paper also examines a number of what initially appears to be unexplained anomalies, such as a patchwork of masonry styles and seemingly ‘melted’ surfaces. These have fueled a number of “alternative-history” theories surrounding the origin of this stonework. These are, however, resolved with a better understanding of the region’s history and geology. In sum, what follows is one of the most comprehensive and evidence-based accounts of Inca construction techniques ever compiled.
I read a report on DCLife, which highlighted an interview in the Nikkei newspaper with Canon’s Canon’s Chief Financial Officer (CFO) Toshizo Tanak. Canon’s CFO said Canon is thinking about outsourcing camera and printer for more production for some lower?end cameras and printers. The main goal of the outsource is to boost the Return on Equity (ROE). As DCLilfe explains;
The APP petition, submitted by Mitch Sylvester, would read: “Do you agree that the Province of Alberta should cease to be a part of Canada to become an independent state?
Kansas will own the stadium, with the Chiefs paying $7 million in rent annually. But that money doesn’t go back to the state; it goes into an account the Chiefs can use for renovations, repairs, and operational expenses. That means the Chiefs can use their own rent money to hire stadium security, parking staff, and concession vendors throughout the season. I know Kansas had to offer a great deal to get the Chiefs to leave Arrowhead, but this is worse than I expected.
Sushila’s eldest sister, Surya, rejected an arranged marriage and instead went to medical school, thereby carving a path for Sushila and her youngest sister, Sadu to become physicians as well. Their brother, Bakul, the second eldest, worked as a textile engineer and supported his sisters’ pursuits.

In other words, they reflected in images a core mission of Texas Monthly: to represent the identity of our state in all its wonderful variety. On behalf of Texas Monthly‘s photo department, here’s a collection of our favorite photos from this year.
PT: The bad doors for Europe, the three doors of the future. For the future to have power as a cultural or political idea, you want it to be different. You can’t stay in this Groundhog Day, this Tory/Labour thing where we’re never doing anything new. The problem is the three actual pictures of the future. Behind door number one is Islamic sharia law. Behind door number two is the totalitarian CCP surveillance state, a hi-tech dystopia. Behind door number three is Greta with a bicycle, and then there’s no fourth door. This is why Greta’s been winning.

Whole-body MRI provider Prenuvo has lost its bid to limit damages in a high-profile malpractice case over one of its pricey elective scans.
Groq’s LPU is a complete departure from the other two. It doesn’t use HBM (External Memory) at all. Instead, it uses SRAM (Static Random Access Memory), which is built directly into the silicon of the chip. The biggest differentiation from that is the Speed. SRAM is up to 100x faster than the HBM found in GPUs. Because the data is right there on the chip, there is zero “fetch time.”
In the weeks following the burglary, the raiders would discover, in Medsger’s words, “that there were two FBIs—the public, and the secret,” and that the latter “used deceptions, disinformation, and violence as tools to harass, damage, and…silence people whose political opinions the director [Hoover] opposed.” The FBI, it became clear to the burglars, had been and was engaged in “blackmail, burglary…. Agents and informers were ordered to spy on…the private lives, including sexual activities, of the nation’s highest officials.” Hundreds of thousands of Americans were targeted—or enlisted as informers—even members of various Ku Klux Klan groups. The FBI’s files included massive amounts of data, much of it supplied by untrained informers. There was an agreement with 16,700 American Legion Posts, utilizing 100,880 members, to spy on their own communities.
I think this is a very telling tale for software engineering. If your job is to translate requirements into code manually – and that’s it – you’re the generalist travel agent.
Two engineers walked into the government six months ago to drag federal retirements from an underground mine onto the Internet. They built retire.opm.gov and are poised to turn six-month waits into near-instant processing for hundreds of thousands of employees.
