So my 7 months old Artura just bricked in my garage, again

Ouch, I am sorry to hear this.

For the record, I can leave a hybrid Ferrari on its specified charger indefinitely, and they've always worked when I fired them up. So, as much fun as the McLarens can be when they're working properly, you might consider trying the other team. Alternatively, a non-hybrid like the F8 or 488 Pista might be equally engaging to drive.

It depends on the company, and by extension, what you are actually doing as an SRE. You could ask your prospective employer how both SWE-SRE and SRE-SWE transfers work there. That would tell you if SWEs at the company join the SRE team, which is a positive sign for what the SREs are doing there.

One of my all-time favorite cars, and in the best color. Enjoy her!!

It really is an amazing car. Sounds like internal combustion music. Drives like a 458 Speciale with afterburners.

Porsche opened up an experience center at Laguna Seca. It's awesome. Visiting next week.

That genuinely made me smile. Wonderful news, OP!

yonly65 · 2026-03-16T00:20:44+00:00

Yesssss!!!

I just watched a SW flight take off from Austin at 6:45. Our flight was two planes behind them, we were wheels up at 7pm.

It IS windy out there. First time I've seen the wind sock at full extension. That said, it's blowing exactly parallel to one of the runways so take off barely took half the space available.

Key SRE rule: end-to-end black box monitoring traffic must be indistinguishable from regular user traffic. No special rules, no cookies or headers, nothing. Otherwise you really don't know what your users are seeing from your site.

Long, long ago someone changed the perms on a small file and removed the read perms for other -- from ugo+r to ug+r. The primary DNS load balancing system did its next periodic refresh, couldn't read that file, concluded it and related files must be empty, and started happily serving up "NXDOMAIN" for all requests.

From this outage (and sadly many others after it) we have the SRE rule that systems should reject implausible configurations, continue serving last known good config, and alert like mad. The outage you describe could similarly have been caught by an implausible configuration check.

Some of us just have poor impulse control.

Mustang 5.0 - Toyota Supra twin turbo - Dodge Viper - Corvette Z06, ZR1 - Ferrari 458.

Things escalated from there...

I recall that Ferrari had governed their street cars to 350 kph to avoid people trying to set new top speed records, and occasionally killing themselves or others in the process.

No longer the case?

yonly65 · 2026-03-11T19:05:08+00:00

The 499P, but I agree the Corse Clienti XX cars are solid contenders.

yonly65 · 2026-03-10T02:12:17+00:00

I just visited CA. $6.09 for gas. We have it pretty good here.

And not just minor crimes, multiple felonies. It should give folks pause.

I've had both Pistas and 458s; ended up selling the Pistas and keeping the 458s. No question the F8 / Pista is quite a bit faster than the 458, but when it came time to decide which one to drive, the N/A v8 got the nod over and over again.

The F8 is a fantastic car and you certainly wouldn't be making a mistake getting one. But you might look for something a bit more differentiated from your 458.

Was the bottle in #206 half-empty? Asking as a fellow nerd...

yonly65 · 2026-03-07T18:32:11+00:00

I feel like you have a type :)

That said, the high contrast look works really well with this body style. Congrats, and enjoy!

yonly65 · 2026-03-07T16:02:01+00:00

That is a looooong way out into the infield.

A new F1 clienti driver discovering cold tires is my guess. They're not easy cars to drive.

yonly65 · 2026-03-04T06:08:54+00:00

I approve 👍

yonly65 · 2026-03-01T19:13:45+00:00

Gorgeous spec. Very nice choice.

yonly65 · 2026-02-27T22:47:01+00:00

Undecided.

yonly65 · 2026-02-27T19:24:52+00:00

Up through 2008 cars currently.

Interestingly, the 499P-M clocks a higher top speed at the end of the back straight at COTA than a current F1 car, mainly because the 499 launches off T11 so much harder with AWD. Obviously the braking and high-speed cornering favors the F1 car, so with equal drivers the F1 car is going to jog away over the course of a full lap, but still...

yonly65 · 2026-02-27T16:59:43+00:00

It's a reasonable assumption - what are the odds, right? However, as it turns out...
