It will take Nvidia 10 years to release the firmware for PMU and then they will cancel it because it's "too old". Just like the they did with pascal, P520 and other perfectly working hardware that are barely usable to this day.

Isn't OVH a budget hoster, especially compared to AWS? Are you compensating that somewhat on the engineering and high-availability side?
I work for a consultancy company that helps other companies set up cloud infrastructure and secure it. We have a lot of customers on a lot of different platforms, from all-in on AWS, Azure and GCP to smaller local cloud providers, and it's interesting to see the market evolve.
It's true that using some of the smaller cloud providers can save you about half, but you might need an experienced engineer to come up with solutions and an extra machine here and there to ensure availability, so the one-on-one cost is not that clear-cut. Lots of smaller companies go all in on e.g. AWS, but then their eggs are locked into one expensive basket, especially if you build your product on AWS-specific services that can't be moved easily elsewhere.
Wasn't the initial selling point of AWS to provide reliable and easy to use services using commodity hardware?

> For example, my very existence as a moderately young, moderately successful computer scientist threatens some men’s sense of identity, thus making them uncomfortable and/or lash out.
I'm not a woman, but I faced this soooo many times in my career that now I believe that it's just insecure men feeling threatened by other people's knowledge or capabilities. Usually these people are hiding something and they are not as smart as perceived. Having someone in the room that can potentially unmask that makes them insecure.
You have to address the behavior the first time it occurs by establishing boundaries otherwise it keeps happening more and more.
And that is a leadership/management failure to address these behaviors. In all occasions the insecure men were so loud and obnoxious that management prefers not to deal with it and take the easy route by firing the target of the abuse, reinforcing the behavior more and more.

> And if these binaries were for the user, then the ‘bin’ folder got put in a super-folder called ‘usr’. Hence, we get ‘/usr/bin’ — the folder housing the user’s binaries.
/usr was the mountpoint for the second drive, where the home directories were. Dennis and Ken started putting binaries into /usr/bin because /bin on the first drive got too full.
See the famous /usr rant by Rob Landley.
It's common for people to think 'usr' stands for 'user' instead of 'unix system resources'.

Very timely and helpful, thank you!
A suggestion: the pulse animation would look much better with ease-in / ease-out animation curves instead of the harsh linear curve it's currently using. EaseInOutSine from this cheat sheet would do fine: https://easings.net/
Or some Newtonian like in https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n-txrCMvdms (9m47s)
