A fair criticism can be lodged in support of pure, unencumbered innovation. It can be argued that it’s wise to design like its day one and not worry about all these real world constraints. That kind of thinking has not worked with programming because the total value of the entire programming ecosystem is stored mostly in the useful abstractions that have been built and not the tools themselves. The same is true for purely conceptual fields like philosophy and mathematics. You can change the notation or the written language, but at the end of the day the ideas are what hold the real value. The legacy is the value, it can’t be thrown out

I think DevOps, as we understand it today, is coming to an end. At least the Ops part of it.
Exercise NEPTUNE is a OSINT exercise where we conduct live OSINT operations (as friendly forces) on maritime units, in order to inform and improve cyber and information security in the industry, and to notice trends and possible attack vectors.

When Evolution Is Infectious
How “probiotic epidemics” help wildlife—and us—survive.
Eugene Rosenberg, a coral microbiologist, ran into a rather large problem in the early 2000s. While working at the University of Tel Aviv in Israel, he discovered that he couldn’t replicate his own breakthrough findings from a decade earlier. What seemed like a potentially devastating failure at the time would lead Rosenberg to a new way of thinking about evolution.
In the 1990s, he’d discovered a driver of coral disease. Rising ocean temperatures had begun to cause coral bleaching in the Eastern Mediterranean. No one really understood why bleaching occurred, only that if a coral polyp remained without its algae for too long, it could starve and die. Some argued that polyps expelled algae because, at higher temperatures, the stressed algae stopped contributing to the symbiosis. They became, in a sense, unproductive employees, and were summarily fired. ...
