Modern LWR reactors ramp at around 5% per minute.
France & Germany use them for Load following https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Load-following_power_plant#Nuc...
Conventional nuclear is vastly more dispatchable than other fuel types
However many organisations have limited technical leadership enforcing quality, and management layers not willing to invest in these assets.
Unfortunately some 'modern' practices are being interpreted to make the processes like Agile the most important thing, and reducing the importance of things like code/system quality and knowledge management.
Having a good technical writer pays dividends
This sentence "With that, Wayfair decided to split the monorepo into smaller microservices" makes little sense.
The main reason most people have monorepos in the first place is because they have smaller microservices, and to facilitate working on them as a unit.
Google has a monorepo and what could describe as 'submit patch for code review'. Only certain engineers can approve reviews and trigger the patch being applied to the trunk.

Many of the others also have variations, but unlikely that any organisation with 1000+ engineers has a monorepo with all of those engineers directly committing to it.
Probably ranks pretty highly up there in terms of damage to company financials, due to a lack of care.
I believe Google's Security team usually gives vendors 90 days before they go public.
The core disagreement was that Amazon (and many other contributors) wanted to add that to the base distribution, and Elasticsearch fought them for years on it, deliberately breaking any community plugins that got a solution working.
Enough blame for the current situation on all sides.
The fact that the Editor-in-chief did not ensure their own processes were followed for an NSA leak is a failure.
When your job is delivering high quality UX and there are always more apps to build in the pipeline, having someone give you a library of useful components works.
I have licenses for probably 4-5 of these, and they've all saved many hours of time, and resulted in avoiding the cost of a dedicated designer.
Out of the box its quite good, depending on what you are doing, once you have cert-manager issuing you free certs, linkerd managing a service mesh, and stackdriver giving you an entire ops stack, its a bit hard to go back
Having the earnings of the higher tier directly funded by financial contributions from the lower tiers is.
I lot of MLMs have a particular 'hiding in plain site deception'. The retail margins on the consumer goods aren't where the bulk of the top tier earnings are coming from. The conferences, training materials, tapes, courses and a raft of support systems for the distributors... all produced at very little cost are the true source. This is where the generous subsidies come from.
We've done similar experiments and proven it to be again based on your own user-agent detection, since normally they will take 30-60 seconds to load, causing the UI to essentially lock up and fail, when faking the agent-user to something else will work around it.
Multiple attempts at contacting Microsoft support come back with its not supported.
Its the Web... pretty sure you can build things without breaking them for Linux.
Walmart labs has contributed some great out-of-the-box, with hapi.js and now http://www.electrode.io/
It's still all medical grade parts isn't it?
Umbrellas's can't lobby or pay politicians for more rain.
