Cloud Run can do all of them! It’s a container based Serverless platform, so you can just deploy your container!

[Steren @steren]

♻️ Automatic base image updates are now available for container images deployed to Cloud Run that are using Google's base images.
No new build or deployment required, no downtime, the language runtime, OS packages and OS are automatically patched for you. This is enabled by default when deploying a function but you can also DIY.

You know what? I'm going to set aside all my liberal arguments (we need affordable housing, segregation is bad) and libertarian arguments (zoning infringes on property rights) for why zoning reform is good, and I'm going to make a *conservative* argument for it.

IAM and security best practices make building developer products 10x harder.

[Scott Hanselman 🌮 @shanselman]

Here’s the thing folks. I’ve been coding 32 years. When something like this happens it’s an organizational failure. Yes, some human wrote a bad line. Someone can “git blame” and point to a human and it’s awful. But it’s the testing, the Cl/CD, the A/B testing, the metered rollouts, an oh shit button to roll it back, the code coverage, the static analysis tools, the code reviews, the organizational health, and on and on. It’s always one line of code but it’s NEVER one person. Implying inclusion policies caused a bug is simplistic, reductive, and racist. Engineering is a team sport. Inclusion makes for good teams. Good engineering practices makes for good software. Engineering practices failed to find a bug multiple times, regardless of the seniority of the human who checked that code in. Solving the larger system thinking SDLC matters more than the null pointer check. This isn’t a “git gud C++ is hard” issue and it damn well isn’t an DEI one.

I hate it when my influence operations run out of credits. 😉

[Charlotte Clymer 🇺🇦 @cmclymer]

Can we please cut the shit here?

NPR is being held to a ludicrously higher standard than an outlet like Fox News, who do just about whatever they want with comparatively little pushback from industry colleagues, because American political media continues to revolve around catering to the unyielding fragility of conservative news outlets.

I refuse to play this ridiculous game. NPR is an outstanding news operation, even in their imperfections, even when I disagree with their framing.

This entire discussion is being propelled by a cowardly refusal of many pundits and reporters to call out the obscene double standard that allows conservative outlets damn near unlimited freedom to push propaganda.

The reason propagandists are upset with NPR is because it’s an outlet that has the audacity to thoughtfully consider the merit of their arguments and ask necessary and inconvenient questions.

NPR is being attacked for doing what journalists should be doing: centering facts and questioning dubiousness.

[Cory Doctorow NO LONGER ON TWIT TER @doctorow]

This turns AI-"assisted" coders into *reverse* centaurs. The AI churns out code at superhuman speed, and you, human in the loop, must maintain perfect vigilance to review its code, spotting cleverly disguised malware hooks the AI can't stop inserting into its code.
