You’ll probably find me now on Mastodon: @[email protected]

I find it’s time to note that I no longer intend to be active on this site, for reasons that you all are doubtless familiar with.

Not that it’s much, but if you want to find me, it’ll be on #mastodon @[email protected].

@WillColeFrench @beccakbecca thinks it’s just a cat. Its coloration is too cat like.

Happy 20th Anniversary to @BioTeam!! I'm grateful and honored to work for such an outstanding company that is sincerely dedicated to making the world a better place.

There is no better or more universally useful AWS CLI command than "aws sts get-caller-identity"

Fight me.

This is a great point about software in biotech — where is the open source???

I think a lot of this is a combination of biotechs:
- Not caring about software
- Having a few engineers
- Believing their entire problem space is unique

Much of this is changing

A while back, @martin_casado asked me: "do you really think there are *no* circumstances under which it makes sense for a company to go on-prem / bare metal?" In all seriousness, I do think there are several cases where doing so might be necessary. (1/n)

Your team is a system. Your org is a system. 90% of "performance" factors are systemic.

I'm currently propagating for my garden, and I could write harsh reviews of the seedlings that didn't sprout. But I'd really be reviewing my propagation environment.

@duolingo are you able to help my wife with her account? She hasn’t been able to practice for days. What information do you need? Please help!!

[Karl Gutwin @kgutwin]

@duolingo My wife needs help with her account! She forgot her password, but when she went to reset it, it created a new empty account for her. She can’t get in and she’s going to lose her streak. Help!

This bit me bad on one project. A client handed us Dockerfiles which we couldn’t build because of outdated or unavailable dependencies. The client got so frustrated because it took so long to chase down all the loose ends.

But also, the whole concept of a container definition (as opposed to an opaque binary image) relies on the internet still being able to supply repos, packages, cert files, etc. that were GET-able in the past.

@TubeTimeUS What are the buttons for?

@toddlerada How many cats are in a T-Rex brain, Ada?

@Lucidchart_Help Is Lucidchart having another outage today? The status page says you've been down for over an hour but haven't acknowledged it yet.

[Karl Gutwin @kgutwin]

@TubeTimeUS @ThePiloseOne Also every seventh and eighth row is all zeros. Maybe it’s true that every eighth row is supposed to be all zeroes and A0 is stuck high?

I’ve been a professional sysadmin for over a decade and I can say with great confidence that these people saying “running your own infrastructure is easy” are either idiots or liars.

@chris_dag Most likely the host has a firewall that is sending ICMP replies. Try checking if the firewall is on and blocking ports.
