guess who will be tracking down a perf bottleneck with http/2 tomorrow?

Well folks, I did actually just save 15% or more by switching to geico. That posh lizard was onto something.

YouTube video by Fly․io Kubernetes without nodes

NEW VIDEO is live!

Fly runs your Kubernetes clusters without any nodes. How the heck does that even work? Where do you put the pods??

Two of them started swinging at each other and I made a loud disappointed noise and they stopped.

They have dragged a table(?) from somewhere and are throwing things at windows. I feel old

"buddy you wouldn't know what an argument with merits looked like if it was staring you in the face"

A horde of drunk teenagers showed up on the street outside my house. After some investigation I learned they got kicked out of a house a few doors down. One of them asked me: "didn't you have fun and go to parties when you were younger?"

What the hell man, I am 20! Absolutely gutted by a *child*

Who up preparing incoherent and contradicting opinions to strongly hold over the thanksgiving table?

+ we were already running into issues re: we couldn't have as much control over nomad scheduling decisions as we needed! The problem isn't quite nomad (it's great software) but that our use case is one that nomad was never designed for. We were pushing it past it's limits and cracks started to show.

Scheduling workloads across regions for users is part of the core proposition. Federated nomad does not allow for that. You can manually submit jobs to any region but for us, that would require us to build another scheduler on top of the nomad scheduler to make that work. /2

As someone who worked on our platform in the nomad days and worked on the transition, I don't entirely disagree, we held nomad wrong, but... Nomad has built in multiregion federation, but that doesn't match our use case. The thing about our platform is it's inherently global. /1

I'm rereading The Pushcart War for reasons and am reminded again how it is not only science-fiction (set in the future!) and formally inventive, but also is a manual for collective action, resistance, protest, that is very relevant today. So here's a thread:

ok so came back to writing go after writing rust for a few months and I am not amused by go's type system. What the hell man.

Weirdly backhanded fortune cookie I just got??

I’ve been dancing around wanting to write this essay called “talking to my Bubbe about Israel/Palestine” recounting what it’s been like to have that dialogue since October 7th. But I think it maybe wants to be a play instead? I’m still not sure.

I would also like to see it

No. SIRI is separate. GTFS is what they use (but modified) for train lines. SIRI and gtfs are competing specifications and for some reason the MTA uses both for different things.

They ship static GTFS schedules for busses but not GTFS-RT for realtime. So you have to use the SIRI api.

You probably want the bus time SIRI api: bt.mta.info/wiki/Develop...

And if you’re curious about the subway extension to the gtfs realtime data it is helpfully documented as a *checks notes* pdf: new.mta.info/document/134...

Not really but iirc it’s less insane and serves json (or xml)

Not elixir but it’s hilariously messed up. It’s a standard marginally based on protobuf but every transit system has their own layer on top.

There was never a way for Paul to win. It was always an asterisks because he’s fighting a 58 year old.

I think that Tyson won anyway because he is 58 years old is still standing.

A lot of people responsible for poor decisions are on a press tour right now because if they didn’t, people would rightfully be questioning THEIR leadership and they know it.

It’s weak even by normal left-punching standards. Zero evidence more Liz Cheney would have won this. The opposite, actually.

I’m not rooting for Tyson so much as I’m rooting against Paul.

hope everyone is ok!
