what you are actually paying S3 for is not “24TB of block storage”, it’s “not having to debug the UEFI iPXE boot failures on 1/3rd of your otherwise identical servers at 4AM”

Wanted: for GitHub to never, ever make me expand “hidden conversations” again. I get that they do not optimize for Very Large Pull Requests™ but, spoilers: when you’re the home of much (most?) open source, you *do* actually need to solve for that! «sigh»

It's kinda boring how the only thing on any product roadmap in 2024 is "some AI thing"

In search of case stories / blog posts / replies about how people have done translatable database content (as opposed to static strings), ideally those that've integrated with a translation management system. Looking for something beyond the naive "clone the column per lang"

I find it funny that gamers on shoestring budgets can get crystal clear voice communications, yet engineers making $400k TC regularly show up to meetings as a garbled echoey mess of unintelligible distant feedback

reading the docs front-to-back is not about memorizing or even remembering what’s in the docs. it’s about setting up a bunch of neural tripwires to make you think, “wait, I feel like I’ve seen a way to deal with this before” when you hit a problem

This is my semi-regular encouragement to read the docs straight through. No one does it and it'll give you a massive advantage. You don't even have to remember everything! Having a broad understanding will help you dive deep on specifics as needed.

On this day in 1985, Japanese baseball fans celebrated a win by throwing a Colonel Sanders statue in the river. Then, the team had an 18-year-long losing streak.

Awful lot of people think the things they read are definitely true as long as they read it on a tweet with a big number next to the little heart.

When I go to familymart to buy icecream, I normally buy two ice creams and the store clerk, bless her heart, always gives me two spoons. Both ice creams are for me.

This is a really great read about... all this theverge.com/2023/7/3/237826…
So where are we all supposed to go now?

So where are we all supposed to go now?

Twitter’s dying, Reddit’s changing, everything else is entertainment – and there’s nowhere left to hang out.

It’s an unverified account, Michael, how many posts could it possibly need to read. 600?

Look. If Elon Musk says we should spend less time on Twitter then we should take him seriously and literally.
