Wasps:

  • smart enough to get inside my screen window
  • too dumb to get back out of my screen window

😩

naturally it's the kind of screen window you can't open from the outside, either!

Why we’re basically fucked without massive political upheaval: capitalism will always consider climate-related goals a “nice to have” in comparison to chasing the almighty profits.

Happy weekend!

Ah, time to get a bunch of personal stuff done that I've been putting off now that I work during the week again. My todo list is so huge 😭

promptly launches Steam, playes Hades for the next 48 hours

That last is doubly a joke, btw, my RSI budget totally doesn't have room for that much contiguous gaming time 😭

Ask an innocuous if oddball question on Slack, a few days later some poor fella who knew a few things is now dealing with the HN commentariat. Sorry buddy 😩

I will say that this (asking questions & accidentally nerd sniping people) is pretty on brand for me, the guy who is typically the dumbest person in rooms full of smart people.

@danderson you knew where to look them up & had enough context to perform analysis, I think those both count! 😂

It was somewhere around reading and writing the string “WebAclRuleStatementManagedRuleGroupStatementScopeDownStatementByteMatchStatementArgs” that my steadfast desire to avoid writing HCL at all costs, began to break down.

Thankfully, my gut instinct that "surely you can just stuff some fucking dict()s in here instead, so it looks way more like native AWS JSON” is panning out, which has – so far – saved me from immediately throwing #Pulumi in the trash.

In #Pulumi's defense, part of this hellscape can be laid at the feet of Terraform (whose provider is being wrapped) and especially AWS themselves, whose APIs provide the essential complexity.

Relatedly: AWS are also the ones deciding that you can't attach a firewall to a CDN distribution from the firewall side, only the CDN side 😩

@hynek do I look like the Pulumi team? 😂

Technical blog post.

First sentence: "At time of writing, $technology is the new kid on the block."

There are no dates anywhere on the page. Not just hidden somewhere, or on hover, or in the URL. I checked the source. They do not exist.

TABLE. FLIP!!!!

Biological features I would like to borrow from other species:

  • Photosynthesis (would make ultralight backpacking way easier if I didn't have to carry food)
  • Gills (swimming, yeah, but also, just more options for breathing)
  • Blood temperature regulation and skin toughness for wider range of comfortable temps
  • Seeing more colors, as shrimp do
  • Elephant-like trunk (for grasping and occasional water fights)
  • Whatever it is that makes tummy rubs and head scratches so dynamite for pet dogs

I saw a programme about how pickles are prepared.

It was jarring.

Need a flat, 2-inch-tall, narrowish (for the domain) footrest 🫠

My Humanscale FR300 is well made, but still fucks up my posture & makes my chair creep backwards.

Naturally, nobody makes this sort of thing (he said confidently, hoping to be disproved, hint, hint).

I'd probably find it easier to order some extra-short desk legs to replace my too-tall-at-minimum-height sit-stand motorized ones. Which is my fallback plan.

(Or comedy 3D print + glue + rubber feet, option?)

I guess I'm old/crotchety enough that anytime some system's docs are all

“so <our software> has <property>, much like <existing other class of software>”

my instant knee-jerk response is

"but you didn't actually /use/ an <existing other class of software>, did you? DID YOU??? NO! YOU JUST WROTE YOUR OWN SHITTY ONE INSTEAD!”

Tonight's: “alright, so our IaC tool takes frequent state snapshots, just like a database!”

ah, so to set this up I can aim it at Postgres, yea? … nah? nah. I see.

Salad!

Plus: they honored my request for no cucumber, and extra avocado.

Minus: they interpreted “dressing on side” as “extra dressing on side”. Good lord, restaurant salads come with way too much fucking dressing by default. Somebody get me a goddamned rowboat.
