Confession: I am lazy. A while ago I showed a Prescient Designer/Node-RED subflow with multiple "virtual" inputs. Not too hard, but not simple enough for me. So I made a couple of nodes to make this super fast and dead simple. Watch how in my latest video! https://lnkd.in/e7WxhxpH #designer #nodered #lazy

Yes, our engineering team really did run CockroachDB on spot instances. I can explain. Our customers are running mission-critical workloads across clusters with hundreds of nodes, and it is paramount that our engineering team can test at a similar scale. But testing at this scale can get expensive. We need to be able to meet our customers where they are, but we also need to be able to control our costs as an organization. Spot instances can create significant savings over VMs, with savings of up to 90% a year. What if we could run long-running clusters on them? Besides saving money we would be able to leverage the unpredictable nature of Spot Instances for some exciting chaos testing! The effort to keep CockroachDB available and workloads predictable while nodes are rapidly disappearing would help us harden CockroachDB. Adam Storm's blog captures our entire journey, diving into the methodologies we chose, lessons learned, and yes—even the impact of preemptions. At Cockroach Labs, our engineering culture doesn't just push the boundaries of what's possible with a mission-critical database; it fuels technical innovation across the board. The results are fascinating, so give it a read if you're curious about running a distributed database on spot instances!

The Legendary Zilog Z80 CPU Is Being Discontinued After Nearly 50 Years: Long-time Slashdot reader AmiMoJo shares an article from TechSpot: Zilog is retiring the Z80 after 48 years on the market. Originally developed as a project stemming from the Intel 8080, it eventually rose to become one of the most popular and widely used 8-bit CPUs in both gaming and general computing devices. The iconic IC device, developed by Federico Faggin, will soon be phased out, and interested parties only have a few months left to place their orders before Zilog's manufacturing partner ends support for the technology... Federico Faggin, an Intel engineer, founded Zilog in 1974 after his work on the Intel 4004, the first 4-bit CPU. The Zilog Z80 was then released in July 1976, conceived as a software-compatible 'extension' and enhancement of the Intel 8080 processor. Back in 1999 Slashdot was calling Zilog's updated eZ80 "one of the fastest 8-bit CPUs available today, executing code 4 times faster than a standard Z80 operating at the same clock speed." Another headline, from 2001: Zilog To File For Chapter 11... Read more of this story at Slashdot.

From IC engineer to C-Level exec, the most effective people I've worked with have one thing in common: they break down and decouple decisions. Optionality, trade-offs, last responsible moment, one-way and two-way door decisions, slicing, MVPs, proof of concepts etc. are all techniques they use for breaking decisions down and getting them made. The best engineers did this when working on code. Rather than trying to decide on all the functionality at once they'd be able to say "I can break this story down into smaller pieces of value that we can get released to users fast" or "we don't need to deliver this piece of functionality now, we can wait until we see how user's respond". The best architects, product managers and business leaders do the same thing. It's a real skill to decouple decisions. It's a real skill to be able to defer parts of a decision to next or later (or even never) to enable faster movement and lower risk. I have always been impressed when I witness it. Often it's obvious with hindsight and sometimes its completely out-of-the-box and you would have never have realised.
