Guinness book of world records lists a 7+ hour unassisted spin of a wooden top, and a mechanical-assist (like this one) of 41+ hours

How long would a better battery go here?

I'm curious what the jump from 2-> 40+ hours requires


Also assumes no income based repayment on debt

MFS vs MFJ is a whole different thing from MFJ vs 2x Single.

While there's numerous places where MFJ < 2x Single due to various marriage penalties, and even more numerous places where 2x Single < MFJ due to the shared tax bracket space below the 37% bracket....

there are very very few places where MFS > MFJ. They exist, but you have to be in particular situations like one person having disproportionately more debt and on an income based repayment plan, or similar.

There are of course many situations where 2x Single = MFJ = MFS if it's just two similar income W2 employees with no edge cases going on.

(Once you're married, filing 2x Single is obviously not an option)


NRL et al do a lot more than just weapons research too.

> And no, as an SRE I won't read DEV code, but I can help my team test it.

I mean to each their own. Sometimes if I catch a page and the rabbit hole leads to the devs code, I look under the covers.

And sometimes it's a bug I can identify and fix pretty quickly. Sometimes faster than the dev team because I just saw another dev team make the same mistake a month prior.

You gotta know when to cut your losses and stop searching the rabbit hole though, that's true.


I agree with your nuance, but that's not my default mode, unless I know the language and the domain well I am not going to write an MR. I'm going to read the stack trace to see it it's a conf issue though.

> for everything there's an in-house version.

Reasonable summary. There's some massive NIH syndrome going on.

Another piece is that a lot of stuff that makes sense in the open source world does not make sense in the context of the giant google3 monorepo with however many billions of lines of code all in one pile.


> AFAIK they have a bunch of production infra on protobuff/gRPC

Stubby, not gRPC. Stubby is used for almost everything internally. gRPC is a similar-ish looking thing that is open sourced, but not used nearly as much as stubby internally.

Stubby predates gRPC by like 15 years or something.

> not so sure about flatbufferrs which came out of the game dev side

I wouldn't know. I'll be honest, I always forget that Google made flatbuffers. I guess if you're doing a lot of IPC?


> Could someone explain what's SAS and what's the difference between SAS and HDD?

This is like asking what's the difference between JavaScript and React. ish (some hand waving on the analogy)

The question you've asked can't really be answered? Idk what you're asking exactly.

SAS is comparable to SATA. Both can be used for HDDs. For individuals it doesn't really matter. For building huge-ass disk arrays, you might want to use SAS.


I was wondering if I would notice any difference in compatibility if cloning from a regular HDD. Thank you.

Plumber makes $800/hr, or bills you are $800/hr?

That's still quite good either way, but OP should understand that even in most expensive US cities a journeyman plumber is typically pulling at most like $150k-$200k without doing significant overtime. And you won't get there until 5++ years on the job.

So think more like $100/hr of actual compensation on the higher end.

Not a bad gig at all. But that $800 number comes with a lot of caveats.


I dunno if that would move the needle. Maybe?

But I don't think that one performative step would help, it would require like decades of change on the platform of the Democratic party.
