(from a complete outsiders perspective) man give AOC a crack at the presidency.
She's been there long enough now to figure out how it works, and is young enough and seems sharp enough not to make a complete b0rk of policy
Instead of the doomsday clock in this chunk of the 21st we have the Taylor Swift good vibes thread.
We are at 5 Taylor's to midnight.
Tell them I said hey
computer scientists: we have invented a virtual dumbass who is constantly wrong
tech CEOs: let's add it to every product
What fascinates me is how Google was apparently sitting on this. Either they pulled out a miracle, or they're essentially like "huh? What do the kids want now? Oh yes we have one of those here you are stick it in everything"
That looks *dope*
Nah I'm not thinking domain just something like sumdb but "yeah the dude also signed this release you're good bro"
It doesn't have to be colocated with the package
Can we sign them or? I've never looked
I will just leave this here: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Busines....
If you start seeing sounds you went too deep
This was me with sport. Do the computer things for money 😄
I enjoy reading experts but don't know enough to find them organically
"Lounge pass with a questionnaire" is such an amazing diss. 12/10 I appreciate your prayer to the god of snark mountain
I had this experience coming from Melbourne to Frankfurt. We had to buy all new clothes 😄
As long as the tattooist isn't moving counties within the same week feels like that's probably okay
Quote tweet to monopolize replies from a sympathetic audience
Congratulations bro
Oooh, that sounds interesting! I will add it to my reading list. That notion — 'spin up compute where you keep your data' — is sufficiently compelling to dig further!
Ahh the good old days¹

If that's cheap, and you can figure out how to always transfer within a zone (e.g. up ranges allocated to zones) you could manage your own infra *and* save your clients a buttload of cash.

What you'd need is like "yo please colocate this node physically near this other node so we do not have to transit far".
Hell if that's a capability that exists that I know about though. I also cannot see the price for "same zone, different AWS account" traffic transfer.

(idle thinking) there's no way in which the existing model of "send me all your telemetry!!" from vendors works *unless* you're not paying the egress costs.
*Hoooowever*. There's also no way I'd support my software in someone's account or compute infrastructure.

So the next time you're being sardonic about the state of the world, or glib about the challenges within it — remember, it's on you (and me!) to fix it.
With ♥,
Me thinking out loud.
6/6.
This collapse will not allow us to rebuild communities or create new power structures where the "right" people are now running things. We can do that more effectively now with the tools we have on hand. All that will bring is hardship.

So, I am concerned with the people who are delighting in those partial failures. Fundamentally, they're abdicating responsibility for contributing to maintaining and improving the world.
Enough people do that, and the world stops working (at least, as well).

As I get older, though, I'm thinking more and more about _why_ the world, complex as it is, works. As far as I can tell, it's a consequence of the billions of humans who do creative things to _keep_ it working.
It is not a stable system but an ever-evolving one.

Personally, I live in constant bemusement that it works at all. It's such a complex system, and while those systems have the emergent property of resilience, it's pretty remarkable that it doesn't collapse more regularly.

Idly, I've noticed recently that a segment of the population who seems to delight in the world is seemingly "falling apart". Making comparisons to the "total collapse of" or ... blah blah.
