Geeking out on Bainbridge Island in the Pacific Northwest on cloud and circuits. Open water swimming is my poison. Mbr of Tech Staff at Corbalt, ex-AWS, building things for the public sector. Opinions my own.
Oh, holy cow. I'm just now realizing that S3 double-chunks data streams.
There's the outer Transfer-Encoding: chunked stream, which is the normal HTTP chunked encoding. But within it S3 re-chunks the data into possibly different chunk sizes and puts chunk headers within the chunk headers. 1/2

Although this is coming from Outlook, I see a lot of these types of issues across various applications since updating to Tahoe. Lots of force quitting applications to get around stuck windows, etc.
It's... not a good release.

@kvlly.com has a great article up, "You might be carrying an invisible gun." (Subtitle: "The more senior you get, the more your words start to sound like orders")
I have *so* felt this as loftier adjectives started getting added to my title.

Missed an important meeting this morning because:
* Someone mistyped my email address
* Someone else saw this and forwarded it to me
* Somewhere in this the time zone was set to Pacific instead of Eastern (while keeping the numeric time intact)
Computers and time zones were a mistake.

I'm not sure if this is shutdown related or something else going on at DCA. But I did like the icon used in the QR code.

Softbank was considering buying Marvell, to combine them with Arm. This would've been an interesting combo; there's a lot of weird memory tricks done with networking (RDMA, etc) in HPC systems to reduce latency. Having this on a single die/chiplets, etc. ... hmm.

So, uh, this is one of the three health plans recommended for me, and the only one of those that covers providers locally.
Are we winning yet? I hope so; I can't afford much more winning.
(No, I won't be selecting the recommended plan.)

So, I just had to put my cybersecurity hat on and lock a device.
To be specific, my son’s iPhone.
Because he left it behind in class and it was being hacked.
By his sibling.

* Kinking my HDMI or other display cables
* Kinking any of my coaxial or optical cables

Still testing, but now running a live meet.
This is not its final installation location. Beyond debugging, the facility will undergo a renovation soon; we’ll install it (and add trim, etc) after that.

I need to work on panel alignment. (It's more vivid in real life; camera sensors were overloaded, I think.)

It's been years since I've had to bicycle over this crappy little bridge, but count me in with the folks who are glad to see it being torn down.

A bane of thousands of Seattle bicyclists just bit the dust
The especially narrow walk-bike crossing, pounded into rubble this week, “had 25 years of uselessness,” said one Port commissioner. What happens now?

So much construction here… I wish we could have primary and standby roadways, transit lines, and airports, like we do databases. Standby is always undergoing construction for repairs and upgrades; when construction tasks are done, swap the primary and secondary roles.
