As we head off to the weekend, trying to answer one of life's most fundamental questions: should I update the version of my chime?

[Mats Lannér @MatsLanner]

We shipped a thing for Fargate today - you can now check for clock drift information for your task. Not all customers will need this, but those who do really need it and we listen to our customers: https://t.co/wB43TnxcLb

heard in one of the meetings today: "by the time you get a response back from the ntp server, you're already in the past" my daily reminder that i don't understand how computers work.

[Anirudh Aithal @aaithal]

is it really a real enough project if you don't have a sync meeting to sync and about the things that you need to talk about in the sync meeting?

w00t! side note: if you like Gibibytes more than Gigabytes (why won't you?), Fargate's storage unit has now switched to GiB instead of GB. So, yay for that. And by default, you get ~18MiB more storage :)

1/ Announcement for #AWS #Fargate on #Amazon #ECS customers! You can now configure ephemeral storage up to 200GiB for your Fargate tasks.

Love containers & container registries? I'm looking for talented product managers to come help build the next generation of container technology with Amazon ECR & ECR Public. https://t.co/pTBSfHMtb6

We introduced balloons to the little one today. His reactions(excitement) is the best thing ever. 🎈

@QuinnyPig @awscloud hold on, i'll call you on chime using slack.

@jamesurquhart lightbulbs are an old technology. We switched to bulbless :)

[Anirudh Aithal @aaithal]

Dear god no! I hope folks are not running things like this on their machines: https://t.co/G9oFX0ECBQ

It's not secure and could potentially break your applications. This is a good read for why that's a bad idea: https://t.co/E8A7yXWmMz

wanna muck around with mount namespaces in golang? protip: don't do it unless you absolutely have to.

You need to care about threads and use cgo and hardcode the namespace(TIL).
