Ok, when did “cool man” take the place of “goodbye” in tech? I say it and I don’t know how long I’ve been doing it.

In the storage world, swizzling is when data from a bunch of different entities get swizzled together. Comes up in virtual machines as the “IO blender” . You then have “deswizzling”.

I was at NetApp when Data ONTAP 6.2R5 came out, that was the release that caught like wildfire. Now at Nutanix AOS 6.5 feels like that kind of release again. Beyond a replacement solution, this is way better than what you’re doing today. nutanix.com/blog/introduci…

The useful thing about Fahrenheit is that it is built on a human scale, not water. Below 0 is too cold to live and above 100 is as well. Everything else about using it sucks.

I worked in a university doctor’s office in the early 90s and I would take a Zip drive with a PowerPoint presentation to photographic services, who would then create slides from the file. And the doctor would call them “foils”.
