Maybe by the time I get in to register for the #FIFAWorldCup presale drawing for the second time the error that caused my first try to fail will be fixed.

The bills are slowly rolling in for my CT Scan, this is an example of what is wrong with healthcare billing and costs in the US. They charged $217.49 for 1ML of Iodine...

I really do enjoy and appreciate that I can whisper to Alexa and she whispers back in response. Perfect for shutting off the lights when the kids are asleep.

I can't believe @github.com still does not support fast-forward merges through their UI (like BitBucket has done for a long time). For folks that manage deploys with branches this is key to keeping things simple and easily traceable. There are also many other use cases where this would be valuable.
Feature Request: Only allow for --ff merges for PRs · community · Discussion #4618
Right now, the only way there is for --ff merges is to use the "Rebase and merge" method. However there's something not optimal with this method. Assuming a feature branch has the following history...

I would consider a mention of dotfiles as an approach to deal with all of those "just need to..." steps of getting a terminal setup the way you like it. Reviewing some of the repos in the inspiration section is really useful. @b0rk.jvns.ca

Looks like Aurora DSQL may make it easier for me lean away from complicated single table DynamoDB solutions, especially when I think the access patterns are more fluid. Time to investigate the cost differences!
Aurora DSQL's connection pools are fast 🔥🔥🔥
In Lambda, getting a new token is single-digit milliseconds and making the TCP connection to the cluster (purple line) was only 11ms in this traced example:

I feel like the increased AI hype has more folks asking for an AI solution where a regular algorithm would be a better fit and likely cheaper. Sometimes "Actual Intelligence" (or Human Intelligence - HI) is the "AI" we need.
