Intel's Clear Linux Distribution Switches Over To GCC 6.1 By Default
Intel's Clear Linux operating system is now one of the first to be re-built under GCC 6 with using GCC 6.1 as its default compiler.
Most distributions won't be migrating from GCC 5 to GCC 6 until later in the year, but this daily-updating Linux distribution out of Intel's Open-Source Technology Center that continues to be focused on delivering optimized performance has already re-based from GCC 5.3 to GCC 6.1.0.

We can repair email -- but it’s going to hurt
Messaging and email are the most ubiquitous methods of personal communication that humans use today. We send more text messages, instant messages, and emails than we make phone calls. Many of us use these systems more often than we speak face-to-face with our friends and family. And we do so despite the fact that each is fairly broken in its own way, though SMS is probably the most robust of all the methods.

Software is Eating the Ops World
One thing I've thought a lot about is how the role of the system administrator is changing. This reflection was prompted by a couple of things: one, I'm a co-chair for talks at one of the longest running system administration conferences, so I should probably think about this kind of thing seriously when planning what talks we'll accept, etc. The other thing, though, is that I've read what some peers have had to say about the tone of the Google Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) book. My own interpretation is that the book thinks of traditional system administrators as "button pushers" who solely operate something that someone else gave them; similar to what you see in many large organization IT departments. There's a heavy emphasis on Engineering™, which isn't present in large organization IT departments. I haven't really dug in to the book -- so I'm going to leave those thoughts here and circle back in a few.
