Annoyingly you have to use an experimental flag. That just adds too much friction.

Latest Node version added Node options as config feature. I wish that was ported to every version of Node.

Otherwise you have to set NODE_OPTIONS which can often be overwritten by some scripts in the execution chain.

That’s exactly why, as a Canadian, I don’t travel to US, or even transit through US. Border was always a terrible and hostile experience. I’ll fly longer and pay more to avoid this.

Would this work in Canada?

Does it work with US corporations?

Look at AWS presentation/talk about Aurora DSQL [1]

It’s a Postgres facade. But everything beyond that is a complete reimagining and a rewrite to scale independently.

I personally think it’s going to eat a lot of market share when it solves some remaining limitations.

I don’t eat all night, which is more than 8 hours. Doesn’t seem to work.

Thank you!! Will try it tomorrow.

I wasn’t able to figure how to make a uv installed python version a global when “python” is called, at least in the current shell, as I need it in CI.

And here we are in Montreal can’t even figure out how to pave a road in 2020.

I came from traditional engineering into data engineering by accident and had a similar view. But every time I tried to make a pipeline from first principles it always eventually turned out something like this for a reason. This is especially true when trying to bridge many teams and skillsets - everyone wants their favourite tool.

AWS has DMS with a serverless option which is great for CDC

But only in Python.

Hm, I’m a CDK pro (4y of full time experience). I used all LLMs, except latest Claude model. All were bad in my estimation and just got in the way. I don’t use them for CDK code anymore.

Maybe the garbage will be like in Sweden? In some city or neighborhood they have this modern setup where each garbage disposal chute is connected by pneumatic tubes to a central garbage dump in the area. So when garbage needs collected the truck doesn’t need to drive around the neighborhood stopping every 5 meters making a ton of noise and spreading garbage around accidentally. It enters this underground area and collects it in bulk out of the huge bins.

Edit: I think it’s this https://www.envacgroup.com/how-it-works/the-envac-system/

They are just killing the client software part. But the infrastructure part remains. I think it’s not a bad move. Chime app was rather clunky and had no updates.

Same here. My first job was “take this spaghetti mess and make it better”. It was an old crusty Perl CGI codebase without any framework and a ton of bad decisions.

Hm, that’s interesting. Are you saying just specifying the FROM in the Dockerfile is enough? I’ve seen a trick floating around specifying from in the bake config in addition to Dockerfile.

Have you figured it out?

I thought and had read the symptoms but I had no whooping sound. Just the cough.

I resonate with you very much. I recently bought a 1991 Honda Civic for fun and I love it. So simple. So reliable.

I’ve had one of the nastiest flus of all time. The coughs were so strong it was like electric shock thru my body and my muscles spasmed. A few days after my back muscles were sore like after a solid bench press session. They lasted a couple of days and then turned to normal coughs and lasted for another 4 weeks.

People? It was just all AI slop all the way down.

Hey thank you for the thoughtful response.

I didn’t mean to say that serverless is the way. I was just talking about AWS in general.

Although serverless is a broad category that includes Aurora Serverless, which does has trade offs but it’s a good choice in some cases.

I also like Step Functions a lot.

EventBridge for an event bus.

I’d even put ECS into sort of serverless category. I don’t manage the underlying servers and only care about the abstraction at the container level.

Just a counterpoint. But my experience has been the opposite.

Taking a legacy application that runs on a single server and is struggling to scale with spaghetti of config files all over the box and security issues that have gone unpatched because no one wants to touch the box as it’s too dangerous to change anything, as everything is intertwined. No backups or unverified backups. No redundancy. No reproducible environments so things work on local but not on remote. Takes devs days to pin the issues.

Then break it down and replace with individual fully managed AWS services that can scale independently and I don’t need to worry about upgrades.

Yeah, the total bill for services is usually higher. But that’s because now there’s actually someone (AWS) maintaining each service, rather than completely neglecting it.

They key to all this is to use IaC such as AWS CDK to have code be the single source of truth. No ClickOps!

Expensive?? Really? One of the cheapest services around.

$0.0000002 per configuration request

> but the whole thing is a bit lower security than you're thinking

An understatement :)

AWS has a native service for this called AppConfig and has agents that can pull and cache flag values so your services only need to make localhost requests.

Well, I don’t use iPad and usually either desktop or iPhone on the go.

Does anyone have any good tools for migrating off of spotify?

And where to go?

I’d like Apple but their apps are horrendous and they completely bastardized the classic Music app pre streaming.
