EVERYBODY GO READ THE AWS INCIDENT WRITE-UP! aws.amazon.com/message/1019...
😅 Hey, I resemble that remark! (For various reasons, likely)
"Agenda-less meetings for one" sounds like the worst how-to or cookbook title ever.
Reading yet another post asserting all you need is a human doing careful continuous supervision of the automation and it’s gonna be perfectly fine, as I grind my own teeth into dust while 40+ years of research and industry reports flash through my mind like war footage in a ptsd movie scene
Already posted it in the other thread I'd seen on this, but it bears repeating:

Title: How to focus on writing your book There follow eleven tiny images telling a story. The captions read: Turn your devices off (a writer with a phone and laptop. The screens are dark). Put them in a drawer. Lock the drawer. Throw away the key. Leave the house. Do not look back. Keep to backroads and hedgerows. Feel your old life slip away. (the writer has shed his clothes) Sleep by day. Forage in the evening. Write by the light of the moon When you have a passable first draft, commit a minor crime and use your phone call to contact your agent. (the naked writer is in a prison holding a phone while an unamused police officer looks on).

Basic research reveals that various assumptions/stereotypes/poorly controlled findings do not turn out to be true. Just 1 example

> When measures of index finger and thumb thickness were used as covariate, all significant sex differences in performance disappeared.
Julia Wong 1:34 PM to Charlie, tripp.mickle v Hi Charlie, The Times's story does not in fact make clear what the source of the information about the supposed size and dexterity of young Chinese women's fingers are, which is why I had so many follow up questions. What kind of generalization is "Young Chinese women have small fingers" if not racial or genetic? Can we at least agree that it is a generalization about a physical trait (often genetic) related to a group identified by their sex and nationality? Can we not also agree that making such a claim about any demographic group should require some actual evidence? The inclusion of unsubstantiated race science in an article is an unfortunate error, but it is also easily amended. I would suggest that rather than attempting to scare up sources for a ridiculous, unfounded and blatantly racist claim, you consider simply correcting it. Best, Julia Wong
I sent another email
"tincture is typically an extract of plant or animal material dissolved in ethanol"
Lemon drops (cocktail) are tinctures.
So begins "is X a tincture?" Platonic dialogues.
The identification of root causes in hindsight will continue until the foresight improves.
oh hell yes. I am curious specifically if anyone has ever made the comparison between wizards of the coast and a central bank trying to manage a currency price

The harder something is to change, the less likely it is to change, even if the status quo is hurting us. This is so banal as to almost be tautological, and yet we run into it over and over again.
But not DNS services...right?!
I mostly see it as a label on microcontroller board products, not a term that gets used conversationally.
You clearly just don't understand fuzzy logic /s
The issue is that if using Air mode and the Nitrox mode gas has been programmed to something other than air (21%), then that programmed gas is used while diving. This could result in a less conservative dive plan than is appropriate.
Exciting bug in my dive computer just dropped.
This could kill someone.
Using MTTR tends to evaluate if your incident response is improving is like using stock price trends to evaluate if your software development productivity is improving. Sure, it’s an input, but hoo-boy are there a bunch of other factors that move those numbers!

I'm glad it's not just me. The very first thing I thought of was rice cookers.
Y'all, I think I just figured this out! The reason that we keep having Incidents is because we're just not taxonomizing them hard enough! We must redouble our taxonomization efforts immediately!
An elevator panel. There’s a lit up symbol that looks like a firefighter helmet. Below it there’s a piece of paper that says, “Please Disregard the blinking firemans hat. The elevator is working properly! Thank You. Management”
This has been in my hotel the entire time I’ve been on this work trip and I kind of love it.
I know nothing about camera gear, but based on the name, I have to assume that most of the time it won't work and you'll have to bypass all the "features" to use it.
Vegetables are a social construct.
Stabby bear emote (copyright unknown) as an embroidered badge, with the text stating "SRE-not-sorry"
The SRE-not-sorry one also got turned into sew-on team badges with the emote we used when killing hosts or containers :)
The last episode of season 3 of the Prodcast is up!
Please have a listen to Christina and Laura talk through how we deal with complex systems using our silly meat brains.

Whoa, so cool! I had no idea!
i was subpoenaed to testify against my former employer in a labor rights case (NLRB v Google) and explained the "behold my field of fucks, look upon it and see that it is barren" meme to the court, profanity and all.
