    The pedantic nerd in me wants to compare half of the building with the woman, or just the bit right next to the heart to the bit right next to the cabinet.

    These are beautiful until you have to replace a cable. And in addition you feel like a heel having to undo this art.

      That’s why we have to lock the routers in a rack, they’d fall down the stairs and die immediately otherwise

    But God has the challenge of starting with a minuscule room, expand the cabling as it goes without being able to unplug or replace any cables or move servers during the lifetime of the system, and can’t afford any downtime or shutdown for maintenance.

      Oh! Oh! Here’s where I get to bring out one of my favorite terms, which I rarely get to do: Foramen ovale.

      Short version: It’s a hole in the fetal heart that allows blood to bypass the (non-functioning) lungs. It usually closes up at birth. God found a way to re-route cables upon deploying the system into production.

      depending on how you count sleep humans have a close to 70% uptime. pretty abysmal, GOD!

        Even when you’re sleeping the system is still operating. So since it’s not 100% active nor completely off it’s a weird area that someone with amazing math skills could come up with a higher percentage.

          Systems that are ‘down for maintenance’ are also still being used.

          30% downtime is 30% downtime.

          I guess that’s true, the system is even up when under attack (viruses, psychedelic drugs) and for up to a century with mostly self-maintainence.

    As long as you are not running cables in front cameras, you are better than god in cable management… pretty low bar to clear

      TV broadcast headends used to be these monstrously wonderful collisions of AV and networking cables and devices.

      Wish I’d taken more pictures, but you know, wanted to keep my job.

    They’d show the pcb layout if they wanted a true representation.

    Considering what the device on the left is capable of compared to the device on the right, the cable management on the left suddenly looks very elegant and efficient.
