Yeah for me the understanding really came when working in a federated GraphQL API. Each team had us own little slice of overall object graph, and overlap / duplication / confusing objects across the whole domain were a lot easier to see in that environment.
I was at a tech conference recently, and the local city tech department was showing off the cameras all around the city. They were all tracking individual vehicles with computer vision, across town as the traffic moved from one camera to another.
I didn’t get a chance to ask them whether law enforcement used the data, but I’m pretty sure that’s a given.
Check out 404 media! I’m a big supporter of independent media, but there’s been a real lack of high quality, competent tech journalism for the last few years.
They launched in the last few months and I’ve been pretty impressed with their coverage so far.
Even their coverage though could be called at the intersection of current events <> technology. When I want pure tech news, I usually watch YouTube channels that specialize in related topics ( like Asionometry for silicon design or Dave2d for device reviews).
Do it! I just made the switch (using PopOS as my distro, AMD CPU, 1080ti GPU) and haven’t had much trouble with my extensive Steam collection. The biggest issue so far was Bioshock Infinite which actually runs native and I had to edit some configs for texture pools. SteamVR / Index has been a little unstable but seems to generally work (I don’t use it enough to be sure if it’s Linux or my hardware getting old).
SteamDB has been a excellent resource for checking compatibility and game specific tweaks.

Legendary artist / filmmaker. His movies are not for everyone and can be tough watches at points but also hilarious and with some great characters.
