I can't see the future, but I imagine that the human art community may actually get more vibrant when divorced from being a way to make a living. Perhaps a return to something like a patronage system for the exceptional artists.

Open mics, music circles and concerts also remain untouched for the moment.

Not just the best children's cartoon, but one of the best TV shows I've ever seen in terms of how close it comes to realizing its full potential. I have a hard time finding points to criticize.

Comic Mono 2 years ago

This is cool. I unironically use comic mono as my daily driver. It helps me remember to have fun.

I’ve been playing Minecraft off and on since beta, and I’ve been able to introduce each of my kids as they’ve gotten old enough to play.

It is pretty amazing, they all started in creative running around punching random things and now each one has their own way they like to play. One loves to build, another mini games, survival, parkour, mods etc. we are currently watching MCC live and it’s like the Super Bowl. They all have their favorite streamers too.

Few games turn into multi generational cultural movements like this.

AWS has posted some instructions for those affected by the issue using EC2.

[AWS Health Dashboard](https://health.aws.amazon.com/health/status)

"First, in some cases, a reboot of the instance may allow for the CrowdStrike Falcon agent to be updated to a previously healthy version, resolving the issue.

Second, the following steps can be followed to delete the CrowdStrike Falcon agent file on the affected instance:

1. Create a snapshot of the EBS root volume of the affected instance

2. Create a new EBS volume from the snapshot in the same Availability Zone

3. Launch a new instance in that Availability Zone using a different version of Windows

4. Attach the EBS volume from step (2) to the new instance as a data volume

5. Navigate to the \windows\system32\drivers\CrowdStrike\ folder on the attached volume and delete "C-00000291*.sys"

6. Detach the EBS volume from the new instance

7. Create a snapshot of the detached EBS volume

8. Create an AMI from the snapshot by selecting the same volume type as the affected instance

9. Call replace root volume on the original EC2 Instance specifying the AMI just created"

I use AWS Copilot and find it to be really easy to use and helpful. It is still a pretty young project and as such doesn't really handle all the edge cases, but for the things it supports, it makes using ECS even easier than it already is.

My default tends to be Ansible because it is really versatile and lightweight on the systems being managed. That versatility can bite you though because it's easy to use it as a good solution and miss a great one. Also, heaven help you if you need to make a change on 1000s of hosts quickly.

I also use (In order of frequency): Terraform, Invoke (Sometimes there is no substitute for a full programming language like python), Saltstack (1000's of machines in a heterogenous environment)

If I were going to deploy a new app on k8s today, I would probably use something like https://github.com/fluxcd/flux.

I haven't really had a pleasant time with the tooling around serverless ecosystem yet once you get beyond hello worlds and canned code examples.

Twitter was down 7 years ago

Theory: The internet is really just a series of green tubes underground and the last earthquake knocked out the primary plumber named Mario.

What I’ve always enjoyed is that in MUD’s content is a first class citizen. Much of the effort that would be put into graphical assets was instead put into story, mechanics and balance. As a result, some MUD’s have fantastically complex political and economic systems.

I would agree that I wouldn't typically hire a manager from outside my company if they have no previous time in that role, mostly because ramping up on all of the internal company structure, technology and processes is enough to keep people quite busy without having to learn how to be a people manager.

That being said, I feel the opposite about internal hires. One of the great joys of being a manager is coaching and mentoring the next generation of managers and having a healthy pipeline of candidates serves your company well.

There are already some great suggestions on here, but I love this topic so here are mine.

For the interview, come up with an answer to this: Tell me about a time you leveraged your experience and knowledge to multiply the efforts of your team.

A lot of what you will be doing is spending your time helping your team do good work on the right things, so any experience you have where you have done that as a senior or lead is relevant.

When you become a manager:

1. Find a mentor

2. https://www.manager-tools.com/get-started - Some really good fundamentals in podcast form. You can listen on your commute(if you have one)

3. http://randsinrepose.com/archives/category/management/ - Articles on management from an engineering manager.

I would pick one article and one podcast to consume each week so you have time to actually absorb it. If you try to implement some kind of perfect program from the beginning you will likely fail.
