I don’t remember the details, but the Meltdown and Spectre vulnerabilities from a few years ago also felt like they were cutting corners. Those were enabled by some fundamental architectural decisions, which really just didn’t sound like a good idea to me, when I read up on them.













We currently have some larger road construction sites in the city and therefore also traffic jams. Yesterday, my bus got stuck in one and I decided to get out at the next stop and walk to the following bus stop. When I arrived there, I looked back and saw that the bus had made it about halfway, which is just wild to me.
