Book cover of "Designing Data-Intensive Applications, 2nd edition". It has a similar wild boar on the cover as the first edition, but it uses O'Reilly's new cover design, and the boar is now slightly colourised.

The second edition of Designing Data-Intensive Applications, by myself and @chris.blue, is finished and sent off to the printers! Ebooks should be available in the next week, and print books in 3–4 weeks. Sigh of relief. 😅

(BTW, this is a good opportunity to support your favourite local bookshop!)

Bottom line? Forecast is on track. Prepare for power outages especially south of I40 where ice will likely form for a longer period of time. Impacts to roads will be significant as well. More details in the blog later.

If you read 1 forecast paragraph today, read this from NWS Nashville: "Bottom line... we have high confidence in winter weather with impacts this weekend. Go ahead and make preparations and don't plan on traveling if you don`t need to. It is not a simple setup that gives us high confidence in (1/3)

A code-signing certificate issued to Logitech. The expiration date is Tuesday, January 6 at 21:39:41 Central European Standard Time.

Whoops, seems like someone forgot to renew the code-signing certificate. I’m guessing that macOS won’t let Logi Options+ services run with an expired cert.

In case any other Mac users have a broken Logitech Options+ app right now, it's not just you. Seems to be happening to everyone. This breaks acceleration and other custom settings.

A flame point ragdoll cat lies on a yellow mid century modern arm chair, propped up against one of the arms. He’s staring back at the camera as if posing for the photo. A toy bee rests on the arm that he’s leaning against. Some sun rays streak in through an off camera window, leaving small sun puddles on the chair and cat.

The AWS outage exposes again that “the cloud” isn’t magic, it’s infrastructure. The issue isn’t a cyberattack, it’s architectural over-reliance on a handful of cloud giants. We centralized the internet and then made our entire lives dependent on it.
