Few weeks ago archeologists found similar, older settlement bit west from that one, that belongs to Vinca culture, that spanned in current Serbia, South Hungary and western Romania
Here is HN story about it
Agreed. Munich is crazy expensive
Serbia or Romania get a much better bang for a buck.
Maybe this is part of long-term term strategy to move "commodity" roles to cheaper markets amid recent FTC decision on forbiden non-compete ...
It is a very sad thing to remove TLD for any country, no matter if it does not exist anymore. As the author underlined, tons of valuable and interesting historical resources are lost for good.
ICANN should change this rule, IMHO.
I hope some of open solutions for policy management will prevail soon,like OPA, and all public cloud providers give support for it.
I did not expect from AWS to simply support OPA in this phase of problem/market fit for the complex system Auth. Still, not happy with yet another siloed solution which is proprietary to one cloud.
Reminded me of my childhood in Serbia, western neighbour of Romania, where we used to have same hay stacks [1], but now those are very hard to see, since modern methods prevailed for hay collection and transportation.
Not sure tbh, why this thing is called Romanian in first place.
Andrew of Mixergy podcast recently had great guest and episode related to better schooling with Chrisman Frank, the founder of Synthesis.
Intro: If youve been a long-time listener you might have heard me complain about my education. So much so that a guest at one time told me to stop. But I still think there should be a better way. Another person who feels that way is Elon Musk. He hired someone to create a whole new curriculum for his kids. Well, todays guest got to see inside that program and he was so blown away by it that he created a company that kids outside of SpaceX can get access to.
This. I also wished we learned more about this in my CS degree college classes. Luckily, there is pretty good podcast series that helped me structure team leadership, management and other non technical skills. It is called: Manager tools.
Here is the list of all topics on politics [1] with intro to 101 series saying this:
"Your organization is MUCH more political than most of us realize. For those who know it's political, some say, I'm not going to play that game. Either state of being - not seeing the politics, or ignoring them, is unfortunate. Professional Life is HUMAN life, and that means it's emotional, and therefore political. Engineers, software designers, technical people take note: hate those marketing and sales people all you want, but they're gonna end up being your boss unless you recognize the value of political, or put differently, non-rational, decision making."
This is pretty opposite of the truth.
In the recent NPR podcast they talked about the fact that inventor of rapamycin practically cured himself of late stage cancer (given up to 6m of life, lived 5 years)
His cancer was nowhere to be found.
Then he decided to prove rapsmycin was the cause, stopped taking it, and died very shortly of cancer.

Yes, he talked extensively about rapamycin on the recent Tim Ferriss show podcast, in terms of its potential to extend lifetime. [1]
Also, scientist who has found this compound and saved it in his freezer to be used for transplants rejection problems, applied rapamycin on himself when he was given 6m to live prognosis based on late stage cancer he had. He lived 5 more years, and died short after he stopped taking rapamycin, to prove it was responsible for the cure. Amazing story.
There is pretty illustrative TV series for the management consulting, House of Lies [1]
Of course there is some comedy and all, but surprisingly solid and realistic picture of that business.
Good start for this vast and complex topic. One thing that pops out here as missing is Data Mesh [1]
It is emerging pattern for complex data management and data exchange between multiple products and product components/services.
Agreed for most what was said there.
Still, I find that people mostly use SLA as only thing important to track for alerting and incidents arousal. There is a lot of said about importance of defining solid SLI - Service Level Indicators which are aligned to SLO - Service Level Objectives
SLAs are usually given to external user of SaaS, not very useful for SRE team.
This brings back many memories.. I owe my early amazement of being able to "tell machine what you want and it will obey" to guys like that. Here is another nice piece that puts more context on that era and creation of Galaxija [1]
BTW, Voja Antonic left Belgrade few years ago, now living in US.[2]
