- thinkindieI'm amazed by all these silly priorities some people can find.
- > I don't fear a future where computers can do every task better than us: I fear a future where we have brain-damaged robots annoy the hell out of me because someone was too lazy to do anything besides throw an LLM at things.
THIS!
- we were not affected too and we realised it was Cloudflare because Linear was down and they were mentioning an upstream service. Also Ecosia was affected, and I then realised they might be relying on Cloudflare too.
- I'm extremely confused by Mixpanel announcement, according to their blog post if you received an email from them it implies you were affected, yet I closed my account with them few months ago and I still received their email, which I can't understand if my account was impacted or no
> As a valued customer, we wanted to inform you about a recent security incident that affected a limited number of Mixpanel user accounts. We have proactively communicated with all impacted customers. If we did not previously contact you, your Mixpanel accounts were not impacted.

- I started my school career in 1991 and it was still a thing, but more during middle school.
- > If I had to guess why neither of Google’s Quick Share posts mentions Wi-Fi interoperability standards or the DMA, it may be because Google has been complaining about various aspects of the law and its enforcement since before it was even passed
This is telling a lot about US companies complaining about EU laws.
- this is a very American issue. In my entire student career in Italy, home assignments were never graded. Maybe you had a project or two through university, but otherwise I got all my grades for onsite tests.
- I really can't believe this. I had issues with CircleCI too earlier, soon after the incident with Cloudflare resolved.
- I still find a lot of websites/applications (including my own) affected.
- For some reason linear.app is working but according to their headers they should be behind Cloudflare.
- I wonder why people are surprised, as this is an open secret nobody is willing to admit. And it's basically the reason we had Schrim I and Schrim II.
At the same time a massive migration from US cloud in EU to EU cloud would be a massive pain for a lot of companies in the EU.
- Not necessarily our critical path but today circleci was affected greatly which also affected our capacity to deploy. Luckily it was a Monday morning therefore we didn’t even have to deploy an hot fix.
- Today’s reminder: multi-region is so hard even AWS can’t get it right.
- also France and Spain (and Italy, Germany, UK etc etc) they have bigger population, far more diverse one, far more decentralized issues etc etc.
- it depends on your investment horizon - if you don't expect to cash in any time soon you can just sit this one out, and historically it should get better over time (with some opportunities in the meantime).
- Norway gets most of its wealth from fossil fuel. While it's not Saudi Arabia nor Venezuela, and they invested in long term sustainability, it's not fair to everyone else to say that they are at 80%EV because they are forward thinkers, but because they have the money to do that.
- John Oliver has a very valid point https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0_Bwix9IjOE
but this was already known: Netanyahu must cling to power, otherwise he will be screwed on so many levels, that's why he is sabotaging any agreement (and this has always been his modus operandi, see what he did back in the 90s).
- Today I've tested Claude Code with small refactorings here and there in a medium sized project. I was surprised by the amount of token that every command was generating, even if the output was few lines updated for a bunch of files.
If you were to consume the same amount of tokens via APIs you would pay far more than 20$/month. Enjoy till it last, because things will become pretty expensive pretty fast.
- It's incredible how two years of continuing pounding a small strip of land still leaves ample space for Hamas to operate. To the point that Israel international reputation is damaged because, check notes, they don't allow baby formula for babies that might otherwise die under those aforementioned bombs. Or being amputated.
Same with the latest "because Hamas": apparently Hamas, while being under the bombs with Israeli soldiers everywhere, was able to organise, finance and operate a flotilla of several boats to bring food that is otherwise blocked by Israel. Either the IDF has been bombing randomly in the last two years (to inflict the highest pain to civilian) or they are lying. Or both.
