The detailed AWS incident report is out, and it’s worth a read - DNS records managed by 2 systems; a race condition led to regional record getting unset - EC2 lease establishment was borked as it depends on DynamoDB - fluctuating NLB health checks leading to EC2 DNS entry purges

I have long felt confident in knowing that the code running https://t.co/33aYAoRhje would outlive me, and that so many have stepped forward to contribute to it. I'd like to see it last another 16 years, and hopefully for many multiples of that.

I asked for legal help + policies way back in 2014. I was barely treading water then. We have come full circle as a community.

Not happy re: the https://t.co/33aYAoRP8M news this week. 2 thoughts: 1. I am begging all sides of this issue: Please get on a call and talk this out. Rebuild the trust, starting now. 2. Ruby is too small and shrinking in the AI era to afford any splintering of efforts.

Cursor is the biggest thing that will change my personal development environment since learning vim. (Luckily, I can use both together!) If you haven't tried it out yet you absolutely need to.

🚨 “The Weston Whopper” will finally rise above Weston, at least a scaled down version w/ 180-units (45-Affordable), after The State’s Housing Appeals Committee overturned Weston’s denial of the 40B project, finding their decision “not consistent with local needs.” 📍 Weston, MA

Bill Nye was asked this question at the end of his tour show last year, which I saw live. He basically said: nowhere. Your individualism will not save you. Global warming is coming for every corner of the globe and you cannot outrun it. You can only fight it.
Where is the perfect place to live and not worry about natural disasters?
