- Falcon Heavy and the era of post-scarcity heavy lift launch
- Changing the economics of getting payload into orbit changes program
design in two dimensions: modular design of orbiting platforms, and
risk profile.
- Some thoughts on Spectre and Meltdown
- Colin Percival’s taken on the most recent speculative execution
flaws including a good explanation of the problems. I like how the
BSD team thinks.
- What really happened with Vista: an insider’s perspective
- An engineer’s response to an engineer’s
response
to popular press articles on Microsoft’s "lost decade." Great
perspective on operating system design, large system design, and the
consequences of poor execution in large development programs.
