Sounds amazing. Until the ants start crawling on me, my elbows itch from the grass, I hear planes flying overhead, an ambulance nearby, a souped out honda civic or some loud car in the distance, a freight train passing…that’s my backyard experience. It was a nice five minutes though :)
For months now I've had scheduled GH Actions workflows that don't run on time, sometimes not at all. Like we're talking 4-8 hours later than the cron statement. Yesterday I finally gave up and just moved the trigger to AWS EventBridge Scheduler/Lambda. Maddening, but also we're talking code repos that are $0 for me. Not production level. I can't imagine people running Production pipelines on github.com.
Presumably Fable 5 won't be made available on GovCloud Bedrock, right now it's not [1].
However what I'm not seeing discussed anywhere are government agencies that are on commercial AWS, have ATOs in place to use Bedrock, and are now being surprised with this new sharing of data with Anthropic and will have to scramble to disable(?) or institute policies banning Fable 5 usage in Bedrock. Throw in there all your sensitive industries, healthcare, insurance, etc.
I have multiple login.gov accounts. They don’t let you change your primary email, so if you’re using corporate account and switch jobs the normal thing is to create new accounts. I’m sure this is padding their numbers.
Giving it the first full listen now. Loving it so far. Such an evolution of sound, but still clearly BoC. It will take its place amongst all the other BoC greats. Pretty emotional listening to this..
Big issue that also seems to unfortunately be more and more common is variations in sizing within the same brand and article of clothing! Different batches with minor variations of the same exact size, or sizes changing over time.
Appears to have recovered, as has bleep.com. Their bandcamp page never failed though. Just wait if they post audio previews! Although I think I'd rather wait until May 29 to hear it. 13 years!
Because if you’re a vscode user up until a couple days ago you could hammer Opus 4.6 all day every day and pay nowhere close to the Claude Max plan. Many people exploited this and the subsidy is closing.
Similarly, laptop purist for the past 25 years. I so much prefer the focus of one thing on my screen at a time, and toggling between apps without having to shift eyes on a large monitor. I also like to pick up and work from starbucks or wherever. I feel like we are in the minority overall but I do know some like us.
I only use YouTube with my watch history set to off. So there is no feed, and I only see updates from channels I actually subscribed to. If I want to see some random crap I go search for it but it’s a clean slate next time I open the app. I have found this method of using YouTube to be extremely useful.
This generation will never experience the joy of flipping on network tv on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon, seeing Shawshank on, sitting down and just watching it, even though you’ve seen it countless times and it’s the tv-edited commercial filled version.
I feel like a lot of the pro-spider replies have never accidentally disturbed or stepped on a momma wolf spider carrying her babies on back and witnessed the pure terror that ensues as hundreds of babies swarm out across your floor.
I view this largely as a symptom of the widescale “success” of the bloated J2EE app servers in the early 2000s to mid 2010s. Your Java version and dependencies were locked in and upgrading was a massive effort. A large group of developers stagnated on Java 1.4.2 and 5 and seemingly never updated their use of the language, even when moving to Java 8 and beyond. The legacy stuff keeps ticking along.
I'm going to guess the person suffers from vertigo, as have I to a small degree - particularly on the metro escalator in Rosslyn, VA (across the river from DC). The sensation occurs going down or up very tall escalators in a tunnel. When it hits, you feel like you are traveling horizontally with some weird tunnel vision. This is terrifying and can cause you to feel like you're falling - even when you know you are going down or up, your eyes are telling you you're traveling horizontally.
I've also gotten this driving a car through long tunnels as well, going down or up (Baltimore 895 harbor tunnel can do this).
As a pool owner (3 feet in the shallow end and eight feet in the deep end) and parent of a three year old plus older kids that grew up with the pool — I can not fathom allowing a four year old to explore the yard on their own when this was there. Even if just two feet deep. A body of water that goes down into the ground (which this fountain appears to be) is dangerous to young children, period. I respect other peoples’ parenting styles but I personally don’t understand.
Most of US government runs significant workloads on AWS now and that’s only increasing. They’ve cornered govt cloud infrastructure (with Azure, GCP, etc. very far behind) so not sure this matters in grand scheme of things.
Anecdotal based on industry experience, no citations.
In high school physics I procrastinated until the night before our egg drop competition to finally address what I was going to do. I got a medium/large size plastic tupperware container (rigid plastic body with a rigid lid). I took a bag of cotton balls, stuffed them in there as tight as I could, put an empty cardboard toilet paper roll vertically in the center, with more cotton balls designed to go in said cardboard below and above the egg. Taped the lid shut. People laughed at my concoction, especially those that went to great efforts to design theirs. I even tossed mine in the air beforehand to test it, which gave me extreme confidence going into the 30 ft drop that I'd be fine. I was. I do not recall what side it landed on but obviously it bounced several hard times after hitting the ground.
Proud to say that in the early-mid 2000s I was a consultant dev at NSF and worked on the research proposal submission and eval website called Fastlane. They’ve since moved the functionality to research.gov, but my code ran in production for 20ish? years? It was old school Java Struts, JSPs, EJB’s..typical J2EE of the time. Lots of people I worked with decided to leave consulting and became NSF employees. They were good and smart people.
The contract expired today, but had an option period through March of 2026. DHS just needed to exercise the option.
Edit: Note the contract ended today April 16 - so performance would stop midnight tonight if the option wasn't exercised. Government contracts routinely go down to the wire like this, and often are late getting exercised. Why the uproar over this one? Did CISA signal to MITRE that they weren't going to exercise the option?
