Five high-ranking Google engineers propose new rules for developers working on “critical” open source projects, including no unilateral code changes — If your open-source software project is considered “critical”, you could be facing a lot more work and responsibility in the future.

Open source: Google wants new rules for developers working on ‘critical’ projects

If your open-source software project is considered “critical”, you could be facing a lot more work and responsibility in the future. But for now, it’s just some ideas from a few of Google’s top engineers.

Samsung Is Promising ‘Never-Die’ SSDs
https://uk.pcmag.com/ssds/122643/samsung-is-promising-never-die-ssds

If a NAND chip fails, these new SSDs detect it, move the data somewhere else on the drive, and keep on functioning.

Whether you choose a hard drive or an SSD for your PC, every drive will eventually come to the end of its life. Hard drives can develop bad sectors, but do manage to keep on working for a while. SSDs on the other hand tend to just die unexpectedly, but Samsung aims to fix that in its new PCIe Gen4 solid state drives.

These SSDs are set to include new technology Samsung is calling fail-in-place (FIP). What FIP technology does is allow a drive to cope if something goes wrong with one or more of the NAND chips it contains. So rather than dying, what’s left of the functioning storage chips will continue to work, albeit in a drive that has less storage space available.
