This whole statement is wild. Instead of highlighting this change as something with editorial backing. Bezos leans into "This was my decision and I am the best one to make it." He really makes it sound like his voice now. #WaPo

"Only my own principles can tip the balance from one to the other." For 10 years of working at the Post all anyone would ask me is "Does Bezos interfere?" As he says, up to now he had a great track record. Gone in an instant. Just wild. washingtonpost.com/opinions/2024/…

Guy who thought CloudProtect was a better name for the company is just waiting for things to die down just enough to say I told you so.

And StepFunctions trounce almost anyone on startup times with the possible exception of #AWSLambda under ideal conditions.

I figured it out. The super power of #AWS #StepFunctions is they are the cheapest way to wait for something.

Thinking of the millions of dollars, thousands of man hours spent by engineers, designers, and product people at Google to solve this problem and the effective solution was a single law that makes it trivial in almost any email client.

@RiverTamYDN I set up a filter to move any e-mail that contains the word “unsubscribe” into a folder marked “Bulk E-mail.” My actual inbox gets like 2-4 e-mails a day, and I scan through the bulk once a day and mostly just delete. This has done wonders for me.

I am not sure why, but the inactive account that had the @robpc handle is no longer on here so I changed it finally. No idea idea why it didn't occur to me to use my domain name as my handle initially.

@wolfpackwx I only was able to find a solar filter for my 35mm. Focusing was a challenge.

Few people will remember that Eclipse made Java bearable.

@wagslane A big use case I've seen for running parts of the backend in WASM is running them at edge. Things like user info, cookie validation, etc that normally has to go to origin could now be served or rendered at edge against a cached origin.

Assembly definitely taught me a lot about how computers work but if you just want to understand the concepts I would recommend playing #TIS100 by @zachtronics. It is a wildly close approximation and it is much easier to visualize how assembly works with its puzzles.

This is depressing. At this point Lightroom is the only reason I am not using Linux.

R.I.P. to those users that have unofficially installed Windows 11 (bypassing system requirement check) on their pre-2010 system such as an Intel Core 2 Duo PC. Windows 11 Version 24H2 will no longer boot on those older PCs due to the codebase changes introduced in ge_release. 🪦

@premystic The way Lando talks about leaving McLaren makes me wonder if the time he spent watching Danny Ric struggle has him scared of the reverse.

@dan_abramov2 @nomadtechie @nulladdict @ryanflorence @deriegle Every barebones example I've looked at uses a custom endpoint to serve them rather than using something like the express static middleware, which makes it seem like it needs the server. Am I misunderstanding what's happening in renderToPipeableStream, etc?

Starting your day with PRs means you give it your fresh cup of coffee energy rather than your i need to do this one thing and then start dinner energy.

I think it does a lot to emphasize that the whole team succeeds but working together and supporting each others work. If your review is your most important task then you give yourself permission to focus on it.

I try to squash and rearrange my commits in a PR into logical groupings which has the same effect without the pain points of stacking. But both require a culture of devs looking at PRs for any amount of time, which is the ultimate issue IMO.

Problem: Code reviews delay feedback. Solution: Stack pull requests. (Open a few small PRs, each based off the previous) ✅ Get feedback early and often ✅ Easier reviews since the PRs are small ✅ Unlike pairing, no need for synchronization
