I enjoy collecting cloud disaster stories ... usually they're around billing. This one is around account management, which sounds pretty boring.
Turns out, if your cloud provider accidentally deletes your account, you lose your main services, your failover regions, all your backups ... and it can happen to you even if you're a £135 billion fund manager.
It looks like with mvn clean && mvn install, the clean goal gets run on both projects, and then the install goal gets run on both. With mvn clean install, the first project gets cleaned and installed, and then the second project gets cleaned and installed.
Normally, that wouldn't make a difference, but if the first project happens to have an undeclared circular dependency, and reads built artifacts in the second project ...
Cross-posting is killing the challenger social media platforms.
Why? Well, when I visit [whatever-trying-to-grow-platform], 80% of the content I see is stuff I've already seen elsewhere. Sometimes several times already. It makes it unsustainable to use more than one platform, and if people get pushed to choose a single platform - well, it's going to be the biggest one.
I don't know if anyone on the @quarkusio core team will read this, but here is the thing. Your framework is way too good to hide it under the "cloud-native" umbrella. The way to increasing adoption in the broader Java community is to make it more visible that Quarkus is just as capable of building good old fully-featured monoliths, as is of blazing-fast microservices.
@preslavrachev@quarkusio naming is the hardest problem in computer science, and coming up with good + short + accurate descriptions of frameworks is the second hardest problem.
But yeah, I agree with you; "kubernetes-native" doesn't capture enough of the goodness, or make the value to its potential user base clear enough.
"Why can't Copilot, or ChatGPT, or Devin, or other generative AI equivalents, do the job of a software developer?
These tools are very, very, good at copying and pasting code from the internet.
Software developers are also very good at copying and pasting code from the internet, but these tools are even better.
But the job of a software developer is not to copy and paste from the internet."
@sldrant@metacosm@rotnroll666 it can be quite a shock for American visitors to the UK, the first time hotel staff ask them if they want to be knocked up in the morning.
Sometimes you get speaker feedback that you don't even know where to begin with it.
I just heard about a career development talk at @voxxedzurich, where the feedback was "I would have liked to see a demo."
... and then I spotted this comment on the video of one of my green talks:
"Clearly this person didn’t do their homework. Crypto transactions are far more efficient than traditional bank/credit card transactions. And… more than 60% of all crypto mining uses renewable energy."
I don't want to give away all @trisha_gee and @HelenJoScott's secrets from Getting to Know IntelliJ IDEA, but the tip to use the Key Promoter X plugin is too good not to share. I've learned more keyboard shortcuts in the last two days than I have since I switched to IDEA.
Just had a meeting with @trisha_gee, and apparently I got a bit worked up and waved my arms around a lot, because my watch is counting it as a "stood up and exercising" hour.
Hi! I am looking to understand AI better on a technical level. Does anyone have explainers or other resources they'd recommend?
I'm a relatively senior software engineer, but have not worked in machine learning (or done any side projects with it) - ideally the resources are aimed at someone with my background but I am fine with learning some things I already know, or having to google a concept occasionally.
TIL Margaret H. Hamilton invented the term "software engineering," to try and legitimise the work being done by her team.
"When I first started using this phrase, it was considered to be quite amusing. It was an ongoing joke for a long time. They liked to kid me about my radical ideas. Software eventually and necessarily gained the same respect as any other discipline
