Readit NewsMy position is that early SRE solved the hard parts, before I was involved. Services and platforms became reliable. The field is mature. SREs still point to risks, but execs have called their bluff.
The takeaway is to make sure you are actually creating value. Maybe Twitter's SREs were not actually improving reliability much.
SREs predicated Twitter would crumble when Twitter's SRE team was laid off. It had some hiccups, but seems stable now.
I suppose the next line of defence is that it takes a while for architecture to crumble.
Time will tell whether that's accurate, or a No True Scotsman.
Read the book. It goes into some detail.
I’ve worked with thousands of people personally over the years to help them with supposedly difficult to treat addictions for instance. Willpower is fine to start, but completely fails in the long term. Identity change is the only thing I’ve found that works long term.
I'd like other traits too.
People who are mountain bikers don't ride to keep in shape, they look forward to getting on their bike.
Instead, carefully curate your identity . This is described well in Atomic Habits. Train yourself to think “I am just not the kind of person who does x.”
Is this just basically willpower?
Or perhaps I should read the book to find out.
Except this bit is true.
Post-Brexit, the incumbent Tory government has been desperate to frame everything in a "UK first" or "Great British" light, even if it is patently not true or some massaging of the data is required to make it appear so.
Therefore, whilst I am not necessarily disputing the headline statement, the point I am making is that it would have been nice to see a link to an impartial, independent website (preferably with raw data attached) rather than a known Tory-leaning rag.
And in relation to emissions in particular, just look at the way the present government fought the Uxbridge by-election on the basis of a complete pack of scaremongering lies about ULEZ (Ultra Low Emission Zone). That was in August 2023, and a leopard doesn't change its spots.
The article and topic aren't overtly political, no need to make it.

Sounds like this bug: "Unable to reliably distinguish IPv4-mapped-IPv6 addresses from regular IPv4 addresses" https://github.com/golang/go/issues/37921 .
Use https://pkg.go.dev/net/netip instead.
