Getting the urge to collect the spare computers around the house and run my own k8s cluster send help

hbd! Hope it's a good one!

holy fuck

Congrats dude!

it's called absolute pitch or perfect pitch!

mfs be pushin over the first domino and then be like "it's not MY fault the 6th domino fell over"

I have a friend who works there, he's got some interesting stories

as a result stuff like observability & monitoring, as in your post, didn't get done because the person writing the check would cut or argue that stuff out of the estimate before approving it because "it doesn't directly impact functionality"

happens in manufacturing, utility, and medical industries too, in my exp. basically any non-software industry buckets the in house dev team as a cost center. at one place we literally billed other departments for our time spent on their systems, estimates were always negotiations, etc.

serverless for your main APIs never made sense to me from the jump. maybe the alternatives for autoscaling just weren't that good a decade ago

I see what you mean, not the same network in a practical sense even if it is in a protocol sense.

My prediction is per-community or per-app relays will become more common and individual appviews/apis will have to listen to more than one to get the full network, if they want it

Ye the above info is out of date, blacksky has been running its own relay for a while. I remember seeing the celebratory posts a few months ago. bsky.app/profile/rude...

A lot of video-game publishers spend hundreds of millions of dollars chasing after "realistic graphics" and "massive open-worlds" when what players really want is just a shitload of weird little guys

yes to both imo

no

A partial screenshot of a pull request discussion. The first person says "needs fixed to create column", the 2nd person replies to say "updated", then the first person replies to say "thumbies", indicating the fix looks good.

More than once I've sent a .txt file attachment, then try to open it from the sent email, and get a "this file does not exist or is corrupted" type of error for an hour or three.

Swap back to old outlook, open the attachment with no issue.

Blue sky cannot decide things like geoblocking for all of ATproto, so I don't understand how you can say the original statement is true.

omw I just need to set up this bicep language server

I actually had way too much fun using Neovim for stuff at work this week.

So many little tweaks & improvements to make. I'm getting sucked in

Reading through the section on serializability/locking and I am reminded of the time at my first job I had to rewrite a multithreaded search service on top of Lucene. Apparently I implemented 2-phase locking without knowing what it was! I just independently arrived at that design. Damn hes good

A part of my fridge broke while under warranty. Mechanic turns up and replaces the full back panel.

Asked him if debugging and fixing the fault would be an option. His response:

"That would take longer because that is engineering work. They don't pay us enough to do it."

Why ‘Silksong’ Took Seven Years to Make The highly anticipated indie game has been in production for so long that it’s become an internet meme

BREAKING: Silksong will be out on September 4. Two weeks from today. Really.

Often, games that take 7+ years to make are plagued by mismanagement and painful burnout. But for Silksong? Team Cherry was having a blast. They still are.

I didn't know windows terminal did multiple panes, this changes everything

Considering just doing that instead of running tmux in my WSL Ubuntu setup. The prefix input is really bugging me

I explained this thread to my non-technical textile-nerd partner and she's very proud of everyone involved

loom, weave, quilt

One of the things I've been doing on parental leave is configuring Neovim. It's fun!

Running it in WSL on my laptop, through the new windows terminal.

Just need to find a decent file browser plugin and make a script that'll setup a fresh WSL distro and then I'll call it good for now
