What proportion of attendees were engaged or contributed?

I'm so sick of discourse from supposed allies about where trans people went wrong.

Where we "went wrong" is that billionaires spent unimaginably large sums to attack us repeatedly and major media outlets have spent a decade piling on.

@quinnypig.com do you have any good guidance for submitting AWS SLA claims? I could see that being popular right about now

What other definition could there be?

It’s obviously contextual, but in my current position we suffered a 1 hour outage at the same time as lots of larger & more famous companies were in the mainstream news

We can stomach that

Could I architect for multi region? Sure, probably

Can I do it economically? Not even close, even if today’s issues happened twice a year instead of once every 3 or 4.

Buff Guys Typing on Laptops Meme doing a little honeycomb propaganda about wide events

Somehow this one didn't get wiped from the @honeycomb.io laptop before I bought it after leaving.

@lizthegrey.com and @charity.wtf feel free to use this if you want, although questionable if you'd want to

it's kinda weird that all the software i am expected to use for work are all written by distributed teams, go, python, postgres, linux, chrome, k8s etc

and despite being told "the best teams work in an office together" i don't know of any software i use that's actually written that way

watching the UKs green party elect an actual unafraid leftist into leadership and see party membership double in under a month is once again endless proof that if you stand up for leftist causes and treat the electorate like adults, you’ll win people over easily

Something I’d be really interested in is what proportion of consumers are sufficiently protected by lock files such that they aren’t affected and they find out about it only via early adopters

thinking about ruby's "MINASWAN" meme coupled with "hippies are nice but not kind, punks aren't nice, but kind" meme

Low fidelity design is higher up the value chain Designers going all-in on user-facing high fidelity visuals are abandoning their most powerful tool for influencing strategy

The way you’ve rotated that map is really messing with my head

Huh, TIL that ECR public repos are a thing!

Manager: "What's this milestone 'Living on a prayer' ?"
Me: "That's the documentation deliverable."
Manager: "What's the status of that?"
Me: "We're halfway there"
Manager: "Why is progress so slow?"
Me: "You fired Tommy"
Manager: "So?"
Me: "Tommy used to work on the docs"

Guess what?
The story about the trans M&S employee and the bra fitting is a pack of lies and distortions.
Want to know what really happened and how colleagues stood up for her?

chocolate is good for some applications. chocolate does not go in everything. too much chocolate all at once will kill you. some people are allergic to chocolate.

Well well well.

Looks like the EHRC going into damage limitation mode and that the Slimes story was essentially wish fulfillment bullsh!t.

As I suspected this morning.

But the damage to our mental health is already done - it even got to me today.

Assume far right press = fake news

Did a Vanta trial recently and one of its items was “enable flow logs” and I was immediately nope nope nope

Reform Movement Statement on Starvation in Gaza In response to the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Gaza, the Reform Movement has released the following statement.

From the largest Jewish denomination in the United States: "Starving Gazan civilians neither will bring Israel the 'total victory' over Hamas it seeks, nor can it be justified by Jewish values or humanitarian law." ⚓️

It’s a shame you can’t express a type sig like [K, V](k K, v V, …)

Fun fact: There is not a single District in the UK with below 60% support for increased renewables. Even people who are climate science deniers want more renewables.

All sensible parties should hammer reform for this.

My hot take: when developing software in-house, it’s almost always better to put stuff in code and do a normal code release - unless it’s unavoidable like different DB connection details per-env

Is it still unsporting if his own team doesn’t have a horse in that race?

Culture leaders 'unwilling' to police which toilets people use More than 1,000 people have signed an open letter to the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC).

Carry on using the right toilets. Labour's cruelty is stupid, uneforceable and unlawful. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I’d love to hear more about versioning, api compatibility, schema migrations etc

ie. Traditional client/server APIs can be evergreen, or date versioned, or number versioned, and often have deprecation cycles etc

What does that look like in this world?

Practice / conditioning basically 😅

There's not a single crime in the history of the UK that would have been prevented by a bathroom bill. Not one

Bathroom bills aren't about safety, they're about trying to exclude LGBT people from public life. That's it
