       @simon I don’t think you’re overthinking this at all. Even within the same run, the degree of sharedness and oversubscribedness can fluctuate. A couple of alternative techniques to consider:You could teach your CI to launch and terminate an EC2 instance which has at least a better chance of giving you repeatable results, especially on larger instance sizes.Or you could count CPU cycles or instructions using perf-record(1) and perf-report(1) to decouple from wall-clock time.

       @anildash This reminded me of an observation my Mom made recently. She said people of her generation (those also prone to bumper stickers, say) prefer old houses with “character” while my generation (those who, let’s be honest, lease grey cars) prefer newer houses where everything works. I lost her at that last part. Like does she NOT want everything to work? So maybe all of this aligns to say that the bumper stickerers are more tolerant of broken cars?

       @simon I wonder if any academic institutions give alumni a ~/public_html like many give alumni a permanent email address. It’d be fun to still have cec.wustl.edu/~rcrowley/, if nothing else.

       One time we put a U-lock around a friend's neck while he was sleeping and didn't unlock it until TSA was about to not let him board our flight.

       GitOps as explained: You merge your change and the thing’s changed!GitOps as in reality: You merge your change and about a million lines of code in six or seven distinct distributed systems each take a swing at it and if they all work properly the thing’s changed.
