Learning about the #indieweb movement has been one of the most interesting byproducts of joining Mastodon earlier this year. I particularly liked this talk transcript by Jamie Tanna as an introduction to the topic: https://www.jvt.me/posts/2019/10/20/indieweb-talk/

When running Kubernetes on a cloud provider, rather than locally using minikube, it’s useful to know which node a pod is running on. The normal command to list pods doesn’t contain this information: $ kubectl get pod NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE neo4j-core-0 1/1 Running 0 6m neo4j-core-1 1/1 Running 0 6m neo4j-core-2 1/1 Running 0 2m I spent a while searching for a command that I could use before I came across Ta-Ching Chen’s blog post while looking for something else.

Also, quick note for crowdstrike execs: everyone can see you looking over at that bus, considering your options, limbering up your throwing arm... Just a note that the people you probably want to hire are watching reeeally closely how you're going to handle this, and are taking notes. The shareholders may be into human sacrifices, but the people you need to run your business aren't. Choose wisely.
No one is getting fired over this, right? Correct. HR systems are down too.
Benn Stancil's weekly Substack on data and technology provides a fascinating perspective on the modern data stack & the industry building it.

@ticky@queer.party Don't shorten links. Links were not meant to be shortened. They have played us for absolute fools.
I once ran my own personal URL shortener but eventually killed it because it wasn't that useful, but I kept the links working, and in fact they still work _to this day_ because I converted them from a dynamic PHP web application to a little list of nginx URL redirects. Google have comparatively infinite budget and can't figure out how to be a respectful web citizen. https://social.kernel.org/objects/39125e2b-0997-4c90-86f9-b16229bf4b52

This week on The Business of Open Source, I spoke with Vinoth Chandar, the founder and CEO of Onehouse and the creator of Apache Hudi. We took a pretty deep dive into the relationship between Onehouse and Hudi, a topic that for me is at the heart of building a company on top of an open source...

It's so interesting how when you're a female leader you're never technical enough until you are and then you're too rigorous and inflexible. Love this labyrinth with no exit for us.

and talk about a pretty big bug found in CocoPods ownership. We also touch on a paper that discusses the technical debt that open source should have. We discuss what the long term sustainability of open source. There aren't any good solutions for open source today, but talking about these problems is important, we have to start to understand what's going on before we can plausibly discuss solutions. If you're an open source project that needs to put things on pause, or even walk way, that's OK. Show Notes

I have no interest in furry porn, but a website with no furry porn is like an ecosystem with no bees.
Off topic random thought about pain. Just remembered something I read once, where a mom gave advice to another mom to give their kid “toddler sedative” and the other mom was “wait what?” and the first mom went “You know, Tylenol” the second goes “that’s not a sedative” first says “works for me, when my kid gets all fussy and cries all the time it knocks him right out” And I’m: … 🙈 madam, if your kid cries a lot and settles right down when they get a painkiller… THEY’RE IN PAIN Why don’t we talk about that more? Just because someone doesn’t have language, and can’t tell you what hurts, doesn’t mean they don’t experience pain. Heard it happen to a lot of autistic folks too, and then people say things like “they have a higher pain threshold” Dude. Just because someone doesn’t have the same pain reaction as you, doesn’t mean their experience is any different. https://social.vivaldi.net/@Patricia/112787457240684355

A neat thing about having your own blog is there's no rule saying you can't backfill the archives... yesterday I added this page for a talk I gave back in 2017, just to have it show up in the archives in the right place https://simonwillison.net/2017/Aug/16/denormalized-query-engine/

This is the 22nd talk I've published in the annotated format - here's my full collection https://simonwillison.net/tags/annotated-talks/ I wrote about the tools I use to put these together here: https://simonwillison.net/2023/Aug/6/annotated-presentations/
It's interesting that people keep talking about the Trump incident as a "shocking act" when it really wasn't shocking at all if you've been paying attention to American gun violence and the Republicans' constant calls for political violence and death threats against Democratic politicians and journalists (though these are mainly targeting female, Black and queer journalists and a lot of the targets are women in politics, so maybe straight White male journalists aren't being subjected to nearly as much of this and just don't believe their colleagues). I wish one journalist would just honestly say 'in a not unexpected act of political violence in our landscape of constant gun violence" or something that acknowledged reality. This kind of gun violence is now terribly mundane in the US and Trump and the GOP helped make it mundane.
If I were England I would simply score more goals than Spain.
jfc, is there some kind of football going on today? There are roars coming from the English outside like they've cornered an immigrant or something.
