this is an interesting RAF site, helicopter pads, really old remnants of what should be a runway.

hopefully they have also removed the vulnerability from non deployed containers and AMIs .. so that it doesn't get redeployed on Monday when new code starts to get checked in again

I'm convinced those postcodes are because of Big Corporate Sesame Street. The alphabet cartel decided readable addresses were too easy, so they pushed letter-number chaos. Classic Big Bird scheme to keep The Count's data empire thriving. #resist #TheCountKnows #Elmo

runway math not working here

but how else will you know that "the important one" is on the road. you will miss the opportunity to get out of their way so they can be about their "very important business".

it's a blessing really.. extra bonus points if they flash, or use the horn..

what's amazing is the amount of compute power it took to do a simple text transformation..

we will look back on this era of coding and realize how much waste that all the various layers of abstraction are adding to the environment

it doesn't seem feasible that there is any way to recover the capex install costs of the hardware, never mind the ongoing power costs and the software design and engineering costs.

try have them puke from both ends simultaneously.. thats a team cleanup effort!

why do I get the feeling that the runway here should be turned around

networking is hard for the non believers.

so devs go for the easy option, which is often the slow topology.

the latency is only a problem because we're not properly coordinating actions across all the nodes in the game.

build a token passing nmba network joining the games in mini private network and you can remove the back and forth packet flow.

2026 is the year of the global multicast network

if you spell bug with a J rather than the B.. and add some whiskey.. then things might just be ok
