#Space jellyfish spinning over #Concord tonight while I was on a run. Perhaps a recent #SpaceX launch?

Always interesting to see the companies that own their infrastructure decisions during an #AWS #outage, vs those that simply point the finger and blame at AWS in their own outage messaging.

You didn't have to pick AWS. You could have used 2+ cloud vendors. You could have hosted your own servers...

So #apple scrambled to move #iPhone inventory from India to the US ahead of the #tariff onslaught. Media reported 6 such flights occurred. OK, so how many iPhones? We could get nerdy here, but let's just ask #Gemini 2.5 Pro.

AI reasoned 1.35M phones... and other news sources confirm 1.5M phones! 🤯
Gemini prompt: How many iPhones can be transported in a 777F cargo aircraft? Assume devices are in final retail packaging. Assume cargo is properly palletized and secured. How many devices could be carried on 6 such cargo aircraft? Gemini conclusion: Summary: A single Boeing 777F can carry approximately 224,000 iPhones, limited primarily by weight. Six Boeing 777F aircraft could carry approximately 1,347,000 iPhones (rounded).

Back in my day, we read the code we wrote, humans conducted #PullRequests, and #CoPilot s were people in airplanes.

QQ: is this product #deprecated?

Props to #GoogleCloud #DevRel #Cloud docs to making it abundantly clear to any human that this is NOT the monitoring language you're looking for. (#PromQL #FTW)

Such a great game, but when I found the stats engine and realized I had played for 750 hours, I shut it down and uninstalled. Went outside for a run.

The year is 1999. You've just finished the installation and hit that .exe. You never knew it at the time, but this was destined to be, one of the greatest pc gaming experiences in your life.

There is a reason I've never responded to their recruiters: moral character. Sure, a 100k raise would be great, but at what cost?

If you're going to rip off the mask, make sure to take it all the way off as quickly as possible, apparently.

That explains the slow and hanging logins on @1password.bsky.social , 12.5MB of Javascript to show the login screen! Granted, they probably have some kungfu #CyberSecurity #wasm justification here. Just make sure you load this login page over high speed fiber, not LTE.

Excellent example of promptly owning your #PublicRelations #failures by #NorthwesternMutual. I wonder what #Security executive they found to OK this tongue in cheek response late on a Friday? Failure to mea culpa stopwatch: 11 h 47 m.

But what about the customers that were actually born on 3 Jan?

Happy 2025, #MicrosoftTeams connector URL users! It's deprecation day! Hope you updated your URLs before last night's cut off. Always great fun responding to a #RugPull . Will we ever learn what was so insecure since the URL format is unchanged. #security ❤️

Wow, 2025 is here which means #GoogleCloud #AppEngine fans need to ensure their #Java 8 and Java 11 apps are upgraded to Java 17 before July and Halloween respectively! Don't forget this #docker container trick to make that upgrade a breeze. It saved me a lot of time 😅
