Building tools for the trades. Prev: AWS, Google, tracking nation state hackers

@Ascii211 @dex_eve General Dynamics had an amazing designer in the 50s/60s named Erik Nitsche. Insanely great catalog of stuff like this. These are even cooler though

@wwornwwell Buddy found one of those shiny baseball coach jackets from our local 8th grade DC trip at a Japanese vintage spot. Alo won’t make it, but plenty of kitsch still will!

@mattrickard Actually super curious what you’re seeing! I spend extra time on the architecture when using LLMs, and most always it ends up recommending pretty solid queues, event buses and async processing, DB first as needed. Wondering if I have a blind spot

@FDavidsonT Tokyo in the fall for a honeymoon, was just about to build my own tool! This looks great

One of the first lessons you learn running a critical service is that GCP will screw you and that everything important needs to be on AWS.

[Railway @Railway]

Google Cloud has blocked our account, making some Railway services unavailable. We have escalated this directly with Google. The Railway Platform team has since confirmed access to Google Cloud and is working on restoring access to all workloads.

We have access to some of our Google Cloud–hosted infrastructure and are working to restore the rest of the service. We apologize for the disruption.

@LatexSalesman80 @3YearLetterman @EchoesofWarYT Arm, I believe

@bob_burrough Can’t wait for data driven governance. We have the means!!!

[Marcus Guttenplan @phantasmicool]

@ryxcommar @GergelyOrosz Just a theory: wouldn’t be surprised if there were calls to redshift on the critical path. Wouldn’t be a great practice, but from what I’ve seen is more plausible than single AZ EC2 deps. I’ve seen stuff go down because rando calls to kinesis weren’t wrapped and handled correctly

Google is simply not a good place for builders. It’s good for box checkers, data lovers, weird tech stack people. But not people that want to build.

@c_valenzuelab $0.50 is the cost for a domain in r53, first place I’d look

[Marcus Guttenplan @phantasmicool]

@hryz3 @BenjDicken It’s one thing I actually kind of miss compared to other big tech companies. code reviews were very pleasant!

[Christopher Ahlberg @cahlberg]

Super powerful

arguably my favourite moment in gaming history, is this specific ride in Red Dead Redemption 2, where D’Angelo’s ‘Unshaken’ plays.

not only did his music mean a lot to me, but he played a pivotal rate in one of modern gaming’s most iconic moments.

@paulg Design like this - the true craft, not UI/UX - is such an interesting intersection of illustration, custom typography, and traditional graphic. I’m sure the AI will get there, but even for humans this takes a skillset that most designers can only aspire to

[Marcus Guttenplan @phantasmicool]

It’s hard to not feel like social norms are breaking down. What started during Covid is only accelerating, and it feels like we are racing back into a low trust society. This is why I’m leaving to start a b2b saas company

[Marcus Guttenplan @phantasmicool]

@FixedIncQuant @bennpeifert This is the ticket. Dhamaka is amazing, if you go to Brooklyn Masawala is amazing. Their chicken spot is amazing. Every one is top notch.

[Phil Venables @philvenables]

Fascinating analysis of what China know’s about purported NSA intrusions. Always interesting to see other nations’ threat intelligence approaches.

It boston cops - some of the most racist in the country - are against you, what does that say about you

[Aaron Rupar @atrupar]

Homan: "The police commission of Boston -- you said you doubled down on not helping the law enforcement office of ICE. I'm coming to Boston. I'm bringing hell with me."

The internet rules. The source code to GTA San Andreas leaks, there a bunch of comments and errors that all say “get Mark, something went wrong,” and they found Mark
