This ruling in itself raises many questions: how much creativity is needed, and is that the same kind of creativity that an artist exercises with a paintbrush? But reading texts has been part of the human learning process as long as reading has existed; and, while we pay to buy books, we don’t pay to learn from them.

Most Linux users cannot afford the amount of resource large enterprises like Google put into custom Linux performance tuning… For Google of course, there’s an economy of scale that makes all that effort worth it.

ITIL defines consistent, repeatable processes rooted in “best practices”. As long as IT staff follow ITIL consistent processes, IT can’t be blamed for any outcome that resulted from its activity: they were, after all, following established “best practices.” That, in turn, renders any “maturity model” an academic exercise at best.

Working with never-ending streams of data necessitates continuous processing of it, ensuring the system keeps up with the load patterns it is exposed to, and always provides real-time, up-to-date information. Sadly, it is very common to write logic that deeply couples the notion of IO with the processing of that IO.
