“Of all evil I deem you capable: Therefore I want good from you. Verily, I have often laughed at the weaklings who thought themselves good because they had no claws.”

Friedrich Nietzsche

Anyone comes up with any shit these days, say apples will replace oranges.

“ChatGPT make me sound confident”

Not surprised. I've had a few interactions with Subaru connected services dev team as an external contractor from another car company, everyone was everyone else's cousin, friend, homeboy from India. Nepotism was rampant, no one wanted to listen to advice, a strong culture of corporate antibodies had formed. I'm surprised they even got it to work at this level.

Hi everyone,

We've gone through a lot of pain to get this blueprint working since our AWS costs were getting out of hand but we didn't want to part ways with CDK.

We've now got the same stack structure going with Pulumi and Digital ocean, having the same ease of development with at least 60% cost reduction.

I don’t care much about Assange but that’s a fair statement.

Who watches the watchmen?

Fascinating read.

I suspected life could be thought as a self replicating and self improving algorithm like physical process. Very encouraging to see the information theory and biology are being used in this context.

You’re being downvoted, but as a father I wholeheartedly agree with you.

My daughter is the most precious being in my life, but I can’t shake the feeling that I brought her to this world on purely selfish reasons and now she’ll be faced to suffer in this ever convoluted planet and I won’t be there to help her for most of her life.

I might be wrong, but please consider this before you bring a life to this world.

I get enraged when articles like this get upvotes. The evidence given doesn't at all negate the reasoning behind using async, which as you said, is about not having to be blocked by IO, not freaking throughput test for an unrealistic scenario. Just goes to show the complete lack of understanding of the topic. I wouldn't dare write something up if I didn't 100% grasp it, but the bar is way lower for some others it seems.

AWS secrets manager or SSM or KMS for any kind of secrets, keys etc. Works well because our entire stack is on AWS. Otherwise hashicorps Vault would do I guess but that’s yet another service on life support.

Phew, I'm on the right method then.

This is hilarious. Thanks.

Thanks for the write up. We are moving away from Kafka to Kinesis, and will consider these points mentioned.

Not questioning your judgement but interested to know about the factors moving you away from Kinesis.

I’d say not voting in climate change deniers would be good first step.

I’m old enough to remember the last “first fully homemade Turkish car”. It was named Imza (Turkish for signature). I don’t remember the specifics but it was total flop with some financial fraud in the mix. Hoping for a better result this time.

Hella mental gymnastics there. Instead of reducing greenhouse gases, apparently, we should be learning to turn every coastal city to Venice.

Failed twice consecutively. Aren’t the side glasses meant to be breakable by regulation for escaping situations when the door is jammed?

I had to stop watching with that cringe shattered glass test fail. I felt for them.

But that wouldn’t potentially kick off a circle jerk though...

Again another article of “It applies to me, therefore must apply to everybody”

If remote work isn’t working for you, don’t do it. I’ve done everything this dudes done but it has been the happiest time of my life. One would perhaps dare to think, different people react differently to the same things.

Now turn that thousands to millions and you’ll see where the problem lies.

State is the root of all evil.

Agree with all that, but when it comes to synbio, the article is 100% right to raise alarms.

I think that's a very positive step. We don't need everyone to turn vegan to flight climate change. We only need everyone to consume significantly less meat.

Personally, I miss the taste of meat sometimes, although that's happening less often these days. And meat tasting vegan dishes satisfy that need without the guilt that comes with killing an animal or destroying the planet.

Cringy mental gymnastics of turning "Why Software is Eating the World" into "pay Confluent for something you get for free".

ITT: I have no idea how & when to use serverless, hence it sucks.
