Working on contours using a modified version of the vectorvector application by @dgreen
Hacked to code to use @Mapterhorn as input and being able to separate ordinary contours from glacier, so that the output matches what @ArmyGeospatial uses in RBT.

Today I’m launching Epic Ride Weather Events: a new platform where endurance event organizers can create public event pages with route-aware race-day weather forecasts.

Better prep for participants. Better promotion for organizers.

@ekharvey @LifeLabs A room full of people that take time out of their lives, time off work. 👎 @LifeLabs

[David Green @dgreen]

Appointment at @LifeLabs apparently is meaningless. Wait time of 45 minutes with appointment should not be acceptable business practice!

We’ve started deploying changes to Amazon S3 to make unauthorized requests with certain error codes which were not initiated by you to be free of charge. This change covers a range of HTTP 3xx/4xx status codes. It will take a few weeks for the roll out to complete in all #AWS Regions.

You: want to work on a tier-0 distributed system

Scale is big, work is important, challenges and learning are real

Two weeks ago I deployed a thing into production. Since then it has processed over 40T (trillion!) customer requests. I’m so proud.

Very favorable winds for #RAAM2023 leaders. 🚴🏻💨💨🚀Could this be one of the fastest RAAM races ever? #raam #dotwatchers #rideacrossamerica @NoLimitsLeah

Just gave my boy a pep talk that ended with something like "You are the one that gets to decide. You choose what to do next." Isn't that what we all need?

If the system running your health checks fails, your LB won't know the status of your #Kubernetes services. 🔥🔥🔥 Health of health checks is critical for uptime. #http502

@samgoodwin89 Hey Sam, still having troubles? I'm able to create SQS queues in under 100ms using SQS APIs. I'd love to hear more about your experience, what you're trying to do and how we can improve it for you.
