I live in London and I can't launch my Roomba vacuum to clean up after dinner because of this. Hurry up AWS, fix it!

Amen - Thanks Louis!

This looks neat. Do you have any plans to provide a Kubernetes CRD or something else to pull/sync secrets into pods?

Yep my firm has over 900 targets and our bill went from around $4,000/year to almost $100,000/year. We’ve remained sped up our transition to K8s (long time coming and a silver lining)

I had a similar experience when playing Half Life for the first time. As a child grown up with Doom, Quake and perhaps Unreal (can’t remember if that came afterwards or not), it was the first one that really caught my imagination. That intro level on the monorail still rates as my best immersive gaming experience I’ve had.

I used a service similar to this in 2011 after I moved back from Australia to UK. Australian banks charge a monthly fee if you don't deposit your salary into the account so after a few months I realized my now-defunct Australian current account was very close to $0 (I had left a few dollars in there when I left). I emailed them and asked them to close the account to which they replied I needed to send a snail-mail letter - I used a service like this (with scanned signature no-less) to do so because it was easier than sending my own international letter to them. I got an email back saying they needed me to send a real letter with a real signature. I replied saying they could keep my account open but I wouldn't be paying for any fees, the reply was swift "Your account is now closed".

I just migrated from LastPass to 1Password7, happier with the GUI/interfaces but I hope they fix these issues up to at least make it harder to extract the passwords when in a locked state.

Thanks for the leavemealone link!

Used this site for various European adventures that were significantly more fulfilling and stress free vs not having this resource. Donated £30 to the cause. Thank you to the Man in Seat Sixty-One!

100% this. We have had a spate of crime, muggings and drug-related issues around our area in the last 6 months or so, the local police & residents have met numerous times about it. Lots of words and "please call the non-emergency 101 number when you see these gatherings" - I then spent an entire HOUR on hold to the 101 before giving up. A couple were mugged later that evening by that very group...

Came here to write this. Agree

We use this heavily in production and to good effect. It has its downsides (doesn't every product) but we have found it works well once you've grasped them. If you have a primarily .NET focused team, have plenty of event-driven applications and want to do CQRS / Event Sourcing for some of your applications I would recommend it as a starter step towards that. It gives you a lot 'out of the box' which is great when starting out but over-reliance on some of its features can make it hard to replace. Make sure you have a good handle on retention and an archival strategy. Storage maybe financially cheap but it's certainly not maintenance friendly once your database grows beyond certain sizes (we're currently running our own fork to solve some of these issues whilst the PR process is going on).

I'm trying to add a new user to my organisation (Monday morning, new joiners...!) and despite getting confirmations I purchased another seat, I cannot invite them. Or when I do, those seats are gone, guess it's down to which data store I'm hitting on each request.

100% agree, infact I now use it as an example to our CTO who is absolutely deadset on actively spending time on replacing our inhouse expert UI frontends (currently written in native UIs, blazing fast etc) with web frontends. Yes they can be effective + fast, but telling a room of native devs to convert everything to web will end badly if not given the proper support.

As an autopilot regular, I hate reading stories such as this. Just last night I had a 150 mile drive in non-perfect conditions (light rain and dusk) and had Autopilot (v1 with a single camera) engaged for the vast majority of it. It is probably my favourite feature of my Tesla. It is significantly better than Audi’s lane assist features I have used and genuinely reduces strain on long journeys. I now perform journeys without hesitation (sometimes looking forward to them coupled with a supercharger stop to recharge myself) when before I’d expect to arrive at my destination stressed and exhausted.

However, I will admit that to use Autopilot safely and effectively you MUST understand the system’s inputs, what its behaviour is based on those input (and driver controlled variables) and what its limitations are. I am a software developer by trade and whilst I couldn’t hope to replicate the autopilot software stack, I probably could write a detailed pseudo code representation of the systems behaviour (without factoring in sensor failure etc).

Roger, lurker on Akka.NET and about to start an Akka.NET PoC at work - proto.actor looks interesting - Can you elaborate on the design issues you have with Akka.NET?
