told my manager I needed to take a half day for my knee again making conversation, she said she didnā€™t realize it was that bad and asked what kind of accident I got into ā€œmy 30s. the traumatic event was entering my 30s.ā€ šŸ˜‚šŸ«

Scalable software today means software working on many machines owned by a single entity. Instead, it should be reclaimed to mean software that works across machines owned by many different people. Let's take 2024 to stop building The Plagiarism Nexus and focus on human empowering technologies. And do that again in 2025. And every year afterwards.

This was a really great episode for everyone doing APIs of every sort šŸ‘€

Jerod is back with another ā€œIt Dependsā€ episode! This time heā€™s joined by Kris Brandow from Go Time and theyā€™re talking all things API design. What makes a good API? Is GraphQL a solid choice? Why do we do REST wrong? And WTF does HATEOAS mean, anyway?

I was talking to some folks who had to talk me off the idea of a hiring blacklist. It's not like there's been a complete wall: warm referrals still make it. But cold applications? I might as well have a name on some nginx bad bot list with the turn around time for rejections. And I wasn't the only one (similarly aged folks with more contracting backgrounds, different ethnic and national backgrounds) feeling it. It doesn't shake off the sharpness of the lack of income nor the numbness of feeling more than incapable of taking care of oneself. Like I'm more scared than I expected of catching COVID or having some life event that I can't even begin to afford. If employment is so tied to one's ability to take care of themselves, how are we not all living in a feudal state? The social net is of different sizes - if it exists where you live - Florida's unemployment services (aka reemployment support, their words) do more to drill and shame than to support and direct.

Attached: 2 images I finally made one.. Die Hard Christmas ornament. Not that difficult to make, you just need some reflective material of some sort, got from KMart. It has room for improvement, I only have a black and white laser printer, and perhaps it could be smaller. Maybe I'll make more..

Oh this is why people were talking about morality and tech, lol https://www.theregister.com/2023/12/08/hashicorp_openbao_fork/ Tbh lol, y'all might not like this, but it doesn't fucking matter. If the fork's not community-run, it's nothing more than a "revenue measuring" contest between two tech CEOs over adoption (because big adopters acquire a lot and accelerate adoption - look at the virus of VS Code despite the vacuum of desktop alternatives people don't have to mention in their dotfiles). The Linux Foundation has (more or less) transformed into the perfect example of Commercial Open Source (open for you, plenty of funds for me but not non-corporate maintainers hahaha sike) extension of Microsoft (personal viewpoint) so even them taking in Terraform will be icky. But then again, it's not like we got coops fabricating chips so it's the best we fucking got.

Unfortunately no answers, but pretty sure I have this - currently going through a formal, private, diagnosis process, and find gauging what I'm feeling very tough. Did the emotion wheel with my therapist a while back and kinda helped, but I think my big problem is it takes some serious thinking to actually gauge what that feeling is, and as with you, I mostly feel just a few feelings most of the time

One of the most famous software exploits in recent years was the SolarWinds attack in 2020. In this attack, Russian hackers inserted malicious code into the SolarWinds Orion system, allowing them to infiltrate the systems of numerous corporations and government agencies, including the U.S. executive branch, military, and intelligence services. This was an example of

After this codeforward conference and govai which was running at the same time, I got a better sense of the wild amount of fomo and hype and llms being pushed on teams without having real agency, and I get the anti-llms reaction by developers a bit more. Also realized, through my new found lenses, how political software development is in companies (which I traumatizingly didnā€™t realize before), and damn am I glad to not be in this rat race. #llms 1/

Wrote a new little tool to help determine the minimum OPA version needed to evaluate any provided Rego files. Published today as #mcov. I know *I* will use it extensively, but if it's helpful to anyone else, all the better. On that and some other projects I'm involved in my new "December hacks" blog. https://www.eknert.com/blog/december-hacks
