Do you want an easy way to add your iTerm colors in your VS Code (or Kiro) terminal window?
I've been meaning to write the readme and publish this for a while, enjoy...

I guess now that international law is no longer relevant China must think Taiwan is fair game.
If that happens, the world order changes once China controls the majority of the semiconductor industry!!! Costs, hardware backdoors etc…
Guardrails (laws) are there for a reason ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Depends on where you host dns but would recommend traffic shift based on health checks rather than rely on mutating dns “control plane” actions. Helps to reduce dns changes as a failure point.
May not be relevant depending on your rto/rpo, failover strategies and data sync between hosting providers.

So sorry you were caught in scope this time, it really sucks.
I’m sure you will end up doing something somewhere very soon where you are truly valued.
While we didn’t get to work together I’ve heard nothing but great things about you and your accomplishments at AWS.
All the best for what’s next 🙌

A bird's-eye view of a former Auschwitz II-Birkenau camp showing a wide dirt pathway flanked by parallel rows of barbed-wire fences. Groups of visitors walk along the path, surrounded by the remnants of brick structures and barracks, now reduced to foundations. Green grass contrasts with the somber history of the site, as the path leads toward a guard tower in the distance.

Auschwitz was at the end of a process. We must remember that it did not start from gas chambers.

This hatred gradually developed: from ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder.

Auschwitz took time.

Four-panel stick-figure comic. Panel 1 reads “AI Creates Millions of Jobs!” with a stick figure holding a paper. Panel 2 reads “Where?” with a stick figure gesturing. Panel 3 reads “Content moderation.” Panel 4 reads “Congratulations on your growth opportunity.” and shows a stick figure at a desk looking at a computer monitor displaying two flame icons.

Reminder that, as of the latest reports, Liam Ramos is still in prison in Texas - now for 5 days.

His parents are legal asylum seekers with no criminal record.

Toggle AWS Floating Nav Bar - Chrome Web Store Toggle the AWS floating nav bar with Ctrl+H, turns it off by default

For folks regularly reading content on the #aws website it built a thing.
With this chrome extension you can now show/hide that floating nav bar that covers the top part of the content.
