It’s mostly a skill issue for services that go down when USE-1 has issues in AWS - if you actually know your shit, then you don’t get these kinds of issues.

Case in point: Netflix runs on AWS and experienced no issues during this thing.

And yes, it’s scary that so many high-profile companies are this bad at the thing they spend all day doing

Well, you might be inclined to not roll the feature out at all, depending on the results you see from the rollout/an A/B-test. Also, having it written out with a date in the changelog binds you to that date, unless you want the embarrassment of not shipping on a promised time. Maintaining a changelog for very large app development organizations is also a pretty damn hard task, trying to coordinate whatever all teams are releasing in a particular build.

I agree that getting cute with the changelog messages is a bit stale. Might as well not add anything at that point.

Modern mobile app development almost always releases features gradually behind feature flags, so changelogging things is not necessarily practical to do.

I can recommend switching to reading books. An e-reader with mild backlight is ideal for this use-case as you can keep the room pitch black and still be able to read. My time to fall asleep and rate of early wakeups has plummeted since I made the switch

Dudes trying to assassinate them with cringe

To clarify - Sweden has a lesser variant of the U.S credit score system, but it differs in some important ways. For example, you don’t have to get a credit card to ‘build credit’ - you are assumed to be in good standing unless you have unusual ratios of debt and so on.

Sweden does not have a social credit score system.

I have zero desire to live like that to be completely honest with you

You know macOS ships with a terminal ootb, right? There’s a reason it’s a massively popular option for devs.

This happens because LLMs operate on tokenized data, and they don’t really “see” the text in the form of individual characters.

You can quite reasonably get an LLM to generate a script that does the character counting and then run the script, to arrive at the correct answer.

May she have used it as toilet paper

I use Rectangle whenever I need to do some tiling go decent effect.

This was the method people used to get Balatro running on mobile before. Extract the Lua code and then package it using LÖVE for Android/iOS

ffmpeg is wild as far as tools go

This seems like it could be a fun project. Mind making a post about the build sometime?

Jellyfin is better anyway

I wish this were true, but as a multi-year Plex-to-Jellyfin migrant, I have to point out that Plex was the better software.

I still choose to run Jellyfin for other reasons (don’t like the commercial path Plex is taking, among others), but I still do miss the better reliability and larger feature set in the Plex software stack.

-9 means it’s serious

Downplaying the importance of UX is one of the reasons the year of the Linux desktop still has not arrived.

Ed is the standard text editor.

On the system I administrate, vi is symlinked to ed
