I was watching slow horses and it went down mid episode.

Crafting isn't necessary in Diablo IV, but definitely use the purveyor of curiosities to roll for a chance of a certain unique item drop.
Masterworking and Tempering are mostly necessary in Torment IV or being able to make it there. These features are for the endgame primarily.

Nice! You were pushing yourself hard with that heart rate! Hopefully you are taking tomorrow off from
running :)

I'm still looking for a LLM trained on our internal engineering docs (across teams) so I can make sense of them or at least find more relevant stuff. 😀

I strongly prefer gRPC for anything with complex payloads - you quickly run into JSON limitations or have to invent a json schema that includes types.

I regularly use gRPC in Go, Python and .NET - from that perspective I have no complaints.

Sure, I wouldn't use gRPC for simple CRUD APIs...

Come to the west coast. We got the Pacific North WET ☔️ for you.

Very underrated comment!

I thought Google Sites is the SharePoint equivalent (but far fewer features). I don't know anyone who uses Google Sites these days though.

We go to Copine every few months since it's just a few blocks from our house (you must get their wine pairing). Didn't realize they offer a Thanksgiving takeout meal.

I did! It was lovely running weather - ended up running out of time to get to Thanksgiving dinner with the in laws so I ended up running to their house instead and running shorter. It was 9 miles mostly uphill. Don't recommend running with a backpack though :)

Nice AI photo 😎 Happy Thanksgiving!

There is still some lingering fog in Ballard - but at least not at ground level anymore. Once that burns off in the next hour or so it'll be perfect. It'll be shorts, long sleeve shirt (no jacket) and gloves running weather :)

Good job getting out! I plan to yet run a half marathon distance before Thanksgiving dinner today. At least it's not rainy!

You should switch your username to be based on a domain you own (or entity you trust) - that way you truly can be platform independent. That's why you will see lots of domain usernames like mine. It's pretty easy to set up.

Native American History Month is almost over. My wife and I watched Dark Winds on Netflix which covers Navaja Tribal Police Officers trying to solve mysterious crimes on and off the reservation.
While far from perfect, the show does make an attempt to accurately portray the culture and language.

My collection is ~20 cards strong. And I even remember to bring them with me when I return to the same countries.

Hardware Security keys or Passkeys for the win!

2024 Christmas gift idea: baby's first DNS server :D

Chromium is an open-source project which primarily is funded by Google. Without Google Chrome there will be few contributors to Chromium (certainly not from Google). If someone takes over Google Chrome and rebrands it they will do far worse things to it.
I'm all for a breakup - this isn't it though.

I might have to unfollow just for this :D

It'll be mentioned in a random session. We only started building this with 6 folks earlier this year. Turns out building a brand new service (vs a feature in an existing one) is complicated.

Well I cannot say until it gets announced. It was however demo'd in part at NET Conf however, so you can check the stream.

It'll still be in limited public preview (meaning there is a waitlist). First I need to finish making a major breaking change before I can open the floodgates 🙃

Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 launches at 8 am Pacific. Will it be delayed? Are the CDNs ready for the many simultaneous downloads? Can the servers handle the load given it heavily uses cloud streaming of scenery data? We will find out!

Unrelated: my own cloud service gets announced today 🙃

I'm curious how much wind we will actually get in Seattle tonight.

I'm so sorry to hear this heartbreaking news Charlie. I can't imagine the pain your family is going through right now.

If you join from a desktop or MacMini and only have a mechanical keyboard though... 🤷🏻‍♂️

Added. Also sent a request to join your clan.

What's your BattleNet ID? Would be fun to play together

As for Hbase - used that heavily in another startup lol. That's the problem you only run into if you hire too many Xooglers trying to copy Google. The solution was moving to Cassandra. 😀
