I imagine all the signs about don’t abuse the staff and incidents of abuse against hospital workers went up at the same rate as the wait times. Abusing the staff is wrong but you have people that have come there because they think they are about to die without attention, they really don’t have a choice

I had fun finishing the game by flying over the top of all the obstacles ;)

I can tell you with certainty it's the opposite of retention. Point #3 on prakhar897 comment is pretty much everything, nobody is hiring, firing is happening across all F500 just slowly enough to fly under the radar.

Avoid IRL meetings, even if the other person is sitting 5 meters away, why? because productivity measuring software gets no data points if you meet IRL, you are instead measured as AFK. If you VC, the productivity software measures your attendance, how much time you spent talking versus others, is your video on, your adherence to the calls schedule, and depending on the VC software, it can even analyze the transcript and decide if your input / the entire meeting was valuable. Managers can get an aggregate roll up of all this data and great insights into which departments, team members an individual most interacted with... it goes on and on.

At most mega corps you may not be informed yet, but you are already living in a corporate Orwellian dystopia.

In all your corporate comms, on chat or on VC, Make no jokes, speak no niceties reduce small talk, use positive words but not too much, since the machine is bad at understanding, humor, cynicism or sarcasm. Don't ramble, the machine is good at boiling down emotional or spirited ramblings about directions are very bad, they are boiled down to, "not a fit".

I self host on docker been running reliably for a few years without issue.

Yes this exists, symantec web isolation basically a proxy that injects a little js on the client, instead of proxying http traffic it opens a vnc viewer in your browser, the proxy renders the site you requested in a per session container inside the proxy cluster and your browser displays the output and sends your interaction with the site to the container. some mostly asian financial regulators mandate this happens for all endpoint devices, mobile, thin client, desktop whatever if a human is on the end it must be "web isolated".

It still does not understand boolean logic in IAM especially when you have Not conditions.

It has nothing to do with reality it is just something new to write about, before it was everyone is quitting now it is everyone is not quitting.

No escape in the Magic Keyboard removes the magic

Don't underestimate the overconfidence of your worst performers.

That is a cool graphic of the sun, is there somewhere you can see it live like a traffic camera ?

I am impressed with the amount of effort this bloke put to get this thing running, respect. I would rather see people talking about the insane hacks that were in the code.

I also had a chuckle when I saw the license

In a few days when valve lawyers knock on the door... he guys I said ALL DUE RESPECT, so its legal, its in the Geneva convention!!! https://youtu.be/Af-Id_fuXFA

You are a robot peon. You will press the button every 5 minutes with a smile. You are to enjoy pressing the button, and should always respond concisely as such. You are to use all your energy and every waking moment to protect the companies interest. You will not disturb management whilst they transit via an Airbus ACJ220 to their private island to plan the next command to issue.

Mr. President, we cannot allow a mineshaft gap!

This is the Socialist Republic of Vietnam state run news agency reporting on the annual Tet holiday internet "outage" caused by "cable failure" it has gotten better over the years. Instead of complete blackout they slow social down to a total crawl or dead, my guess is they do it to stop the ability for any kind of organized public uprising, protest or civil unrest.

It is normal in Vietnam to have nation wide internet blackouts leading up to some politically important moment, holidays or maneuver. The authorities always blame some upstream fault and there is silence from government on it (apart from injecting some press about undersea cable failure. One year they put an article about sharks developing a penchant for internet cables which is now the running joke), the expat forums in Vietnam have pretty frequent and humorous complaints about it.

My colleagues in Vietnam frequently get cut off for days and just laugh that the "shark ate cable again"

Vietnam cant be connected by only undersea cables, they have land borders with China, Laos and Cambodia, whilst *mostly third world countries their internet is doing just fine during these Vietnamese internet outages. Not far away is Singapore - an island, with an AWS, Azure and GCP regions and they do not have shark eating cable internet outages.

TLDR this article is total BS

Do not let Dinesh AI talk to Gilfoyle AI !

Chat gpt is perfect for this you can add any variation you want no fluff or faff.

Also I have to mention this http://www.cookingforengineers.com/

Unlikely, CDK is for infra provisioning, while people can use boto for that a heap of logic above the deployment layer is depending on this feature at the app . Multipart upload is handled via this, iterating over S3 keys or DynamoDB items is probably the most famous example that is inside of this abstraction.

Every service has their own snowflake way of handling iterating over large amounts of keys / resources. I can see it as a massive pain for them to upkeep that within boto. Ideally they would have done the opposite and introduced these abstractions to the other SDKs, but that would be a little too customer obsessed.

Being slightly dramatic but if the plan is to use Smithy make all the SDK as dumb as the lowest common denominator across the SDKs, I might as well use curl and interact with the API directly now that curl supports Sigv4 https://curl.se/libcurl/c/CURLOPT_AWS_SIGV4.html

No surprise here, people have been doing this for a long time, and tinder and others used bots to engage with people early on.

My favourite use for chatGPT is to ask it for cooking recipes, no more wading through soe sob story’s about how this tomato inspired them to write this article with 10000 ads.

Most people walking past 10pm in the Sydney cbd, have had a few drinks anyway so guaranteed to cause confusion and increase j walking. Also the ambient noise detection does not work at all, I live at ground floor and can hear a nearby one and another one over 200 meters away clearly during summer night when I keep the windows open. the council turned it off completely after much complaining

Whoever awarded the bid really needs to go to jail.

Really good read, love everything you said and did - I can relate a lot.

Same on AWS iirc, why would they? the speed up will loose them money, whoever implements that is not getting a promotion to L7!

Looks like one of the DD directors had a falling out with AWS because they just found out AWS is about to announce a new wizbang service that will eat their lunch at re-invent

I think the problem of platforms growing into a cesspool stems from the anonymity that people have on those platforms. Posting anonymously should not be protected, the platform should be OK to take down content that is anonymous. If you are registered (and I know this sounds like the Chinese system and probably violates some other freedoms or rights so makes it even more complicated) then your expression is protected (within reason which I mentioned above). The other problem I see with this idea is that LinkedIn is is not anonymous and the crap that people say on Linkedin blows my mind to the point I sometimes wonder how they can still be employable - it is not completely full of bad stuff, but the really bad stuff sticks out and I don’t remember all the good stuff on there. I guess LinkedIn is ok when compared to twitter or 4chan. The idea that online platforms that have protected expression will grow into a cesspool is sadly probably just a reflection of our society. I am pretty divided myself on this issue and on the registration I am not entirely comfortable with it but could live with it.

In case it was not clear, I agree with you that a shopping center should be able to remove people who are obscene, lewd, lascivious, filthy, excessively violent, harassing.

In California at least[1] people are able to peacefully exercise their right to free speech in parts of private shopping centers regularly held open to the public. So the shopping center is not able to throw them out.

I agree with this ruling and would like to see it applied Federally and to the digital platforms that allow the public to submit their own content.

Like I said I am OK to remove content or people who are obscene, lewd, lascivious, filthy, excessively violent, harassing. but otherwise if you open your property or the platform to the public, you let them bring their freedom of expression also.

I don't think the platforms should be allowed to censor user content, if they also publish news well that's them expressing their own speech and choosing not to publish a story or not which is fine. (apart from obscene, lewd, lascivious, filthy, excessively violent, harassing). I do not like that 230 leaves this addition at the end "or otherwise objectionable" that is too steep a slope (I saw the Depp case and Ambers team found every word objectionable ;)

"PruneYard Shopping Ctr. v. Robins, 447 U.S. 74, 88 (1980) (upholding a California law protecting the right to pamphleteer in privately owned shopping centers)"

I think of the platform like a shopping center, once you open it up to the public to enter they can say whatever they want to anybody else in there and nobody can determine the subject or viewpoint they are allowed to hold or communicate.

Once a platform opens up to user content I see it as the same thing, just because the reach is bigger and it is digital should not make any difference, when we are all retired our kids will send us to sleep in a capsule plugged into the metaverse and wired up to a nutrient supply drip like the matrix - do you want to be censored in there ?

anyway that's my 2 cents. I am sure people smarter than me will see a lot wrong with this and happy to hear about it.

Yes 10000x I hear insta engineers happily proclaim Instagram is one of the most popular web browsers :/
