There’s a special place in hell for people who leave stickers on their baseball caps.

@ryanmcbeth.bsky.social Please do a video on the Trump magnet thing 🙏

Tamaki Kouji is a once in a lifetime talent. The only artist that comes close is Freddie Mercury. He’s not some “the Japanese Freddie”. No. He’s just right up there.

Living on the edge. Having a milk sour.

We can learn that people love to ignore opportunity costs

The lack of mainstream coverage of regular huge protests reminds me of a talk from a Twitter employees who explained that they had to drop BLM off the Trending Tags section because otherwise it would have been there permanently. The modern media environment has no appetite for sustained movements.

Remember when record labels bankrupted teenagers for downloading Metallica?

"Alexa, show me the most bullshit AWS IAM permission in the world."

I love this. At least they’re doing something useful.

National Guard is now tasked with picking up garbage in DC

⚡️Pentagon has quietly barred Ukrainian long-range strikes in Russia with US missiles, WSJ reports.

For some reason, YouTube subs generate the word “heat” a whole lot. Not sure yet why.

⚡️'Alaska opposes tyranny!' — Pro-Ukraine rally planned ahead of Trump-Putin summit in US. The rally, scheduled for Aug. 14 in Anchorage, is being held to protest the "presence of an international war criminal" and as a show of solidarity with Ukraine, Stand Up Alaska said.

Jesus H. Christ. @awscloud.bsky.social just can't leave well enough alone with their news feed. What's with this mega font and the 2 columns? This is *not* easier to read, so why do it?

AWS dropped so many balls here, they now have negative balls.

Zoom will do a trillion video calls a day without breaking a sweat. But don't try and load their release notes. Slowest webpage on the internet: support.zoom.com/hc/en/articl...

Anyone going to the #aws summit in Japan this month?

So I'm going to be at No Kings Day in NYC. My friend and family member Ben Norris is gonna be in LA. @indivisible.org made sure to organize them all over the country in case *you* are not close to NYC or LA. Please join us! Find your peaceful protest below! #nokingsday

What just happened to the AWS news feed? Are lists considered bad now? aws.amazon.com/new/

I'm a diehard remote person, but... The second half of this ^ is very true. I'm convinced teamwork needs micro-communication. Like, imagine trying to cook a stew in the same kitchen as everyone and not being able to ask the other people how small they're cutting their vegetables.

Amazing. Right out in the open: "universities are free to do research as long as they're sympathetic to the administration." I want to personally play this clip in the face of every fucking clown who spent the last several years pretending that the left is the "real" threat to free speech.

Extraordinary on debut 😮‍💨 We'll never tire of watching this back ⏮️ #F1 || #SpanishGP 🇪🇸

If you think this is purely fiction, you probably work at Google. Hope your Google IO is going well!

OK, this is wild. In September 2023, geophysicists across the world started monitoring a very odd signal coming from the ground under them. It was picked up in the Arctic. And Antarctica. It was detected everywhere, every 90 seconds, as regular as a metronome, for *nine days*. What the HELL? 1/

Increasingly it seems likely that access to AWS customer data won’t need a warrant, just an angry phone call from the administration. Plan accordingly.

Trump to Bukele: "Home-growns are next. The home-growns. You gotta build about five more places. It's not big enough."

What the hell did @f1tv.bsky.social do with their IT systems this year? New vendor? Timing tower broken, Russell’s transponder borked, persistent “Replay” and broken pit lights.

Japan now has its own “cerveza” crystal 🎉 @starwarsexplained.bsky.social

Come on down to the White House Tesla Auto Mall!

yeah! what is it about them? 🤔

And people say AI is useless. Nonsense!

Trump-Ishiba summit 🧵 It was important that this summit went well—esp for PM Ishiba who needs a diplomatic success given his domestic political headwinds. Overall, Japan sld be pleased with the Joint Leaders’ Statement & 石破is 2nd foreign leader to see Pres Trump… www.whitehouse.gov/briefings-st...

AWS just launched CloudFormation "Stack refactoring", which is as amazing as it sounds. It seems only a matter of time before I end up using this. aws.amazon.com/blogs/devops...

Yes, I advocate testing in production, but ffs not like this. What @mipsytipsy.bsky.social and I say is that you should not over-invest in making a perfect staging, not to have no staging! and that whether you like it or not, you are testing & debugging in production. Fast, but NOT careless ffs.

⚡️ Netherlands to send more F-16s in 2025, Ukrainian defense minister says. The Netherlands will deliver another batch of F-16 fighter jets to Ukraine in 2025, Defense Minister Rustem Umerov announced on Jan. 31.

i'm tired of being told to stop doomscrolling. i'm just scrolling, it's not my fault there's doom on there

AWS announces S3 metadata is "generally available". Literally in 3 US regions only. How is this "generally available"?

If I want to see if I should get a new iPhone, I can read 600 articles and watch as many YouTube videos. If I want to see if an AWS service like Aurora Limitless is any good, I have a hard time finding even a single helpful customer review.

bad news for israel.. the last time a Palestinian came back from the dead they made a whole ass religion out of it

i'm losing it

Looks like S3 Tables storage pricing is higher than a normal S3 bucket. I wonder why. Sure, AWS claims better performance, but that seems to be "better than an Iceberg table that doesn't undergo regular compaction" (who wouldn't be doing that?)

Looking into PostgreSQL ALTER TABLE to change a column type in a production system has given me an increased appreciation for Apache Iceberg (where I've spent most of time recently).

Jan 2. Time flies.

I forgot how much I hate 駅伝. Surely this is the most boring thing ever to be shown on TV.
