We now have a formal proposal to add let expression to JMESPath. Feedback welcome! https://t.co/DwVqatjfdN

@jsaryer I started using Helix and really took to it. I’m super jealous of Lua scripting in neovim though. I hope Helix uses Lua for their plugin model.

The number one missing feature in JMESPath, and usually the answer to "what's the JMESPath expression to select ...", is scoped variables. Here's a refreshed proposal, let me know what you all think: https://t.co/lBXFwXNAjS

@jeremeamia @seaofstarsgame While I’m waiting for this one to come out, I’ve been playing Chained Echoes. It’s pretty good, retro JRPG fun

@samgoodwin89 Yeah good question. Sometimes if clients know a more direct way to access a resource, changing the endpoint to be resource specific can improve performance. It shouldn’t come at the expense of client performance though. We’re looking into it.

[Michael Dowling @mtdowling]

@samgoodwin89 It’s a set of rules used at runtime to change endpoints for requests. S3 has the largest set of rules because there’s a lot of features that affect the endpoint of a request in various ways. We’ll work on reducing the size of it.

@joshbarrnz Service teams that have this kind of docs split don't write docs in their models (placeholder or otherwise). The docs team runs a simple script that creates a placeholder for missing docs for every shape that they fill in.

Do browsers typically parse then evaluate CSS selectors with a kind of tree-based interpreter, or do any of them do more advanced things like emitting and interpreting bytecode?

@elfidomx These docs cover creating traits, though they don’t cover how it works in Java though: https://t.co/6R5HeDpvI9. This page lists implementations which shows how others have built generators: https://t.co/K9qUNS1oBt

@cameronc I won’t be there this year. I don’t think there’s a talk solely about smithy. I’d guess talks about AWS SDKs would touch on it though.

@kubukoz The yolo of Smithy’s type system

[Michael Dowling @mtdowling]

@eigenseries Yes. They haven’t updated to use this new version yet.

[Michael Dowling @mtdowling]

The Smithy team released Smithy IDL 2.0 (a tool for generating SDKs and services from models). Code generators can now generate fewer nullable types thanks to the addition of default values. Also has DX improvements like mixins to reduce copy/paste: https://t.co/KsBxkq8gOx

@GaneshNJ Well deserved!

@russellrcohen This makes me glad that UUID isn’t a built-in data type in Smithy

"Delete and don't notify" in Apple Calendar sure did just notify a big ol' list of people that I'm not attending a meeting... I guess I've been aggressively declining optional meetings on accident for a while now 😬 Back to Outlook.
