Our goal with Stelvio is bringing these two together: Using Pulumi (for performance and multi-cloud capatbilities) with the convenience of some parts of CDK.

Curious why you’d go from sst (back?) to terraform? Are there services or features missing in sst or is it about terraforms ergonomics that fits your case better?

Conceptually similar, maybe other opinions baked in.

encore focusses on TypeScript and Python. Stelvio is a solution for Python.

We believe that we're creating a solution for problems that we fought with during a combined 40 years of experience in the team. ymmv, but you are invited to give it a try. Happy to show you a demo ;)

True, and there's nothing wrong with them.

We still believe to have a more flexible solution that also adds some features, including combining multiple cloud providers which at the moment we use to enable cloudflare DNS in front of AWS infra. Feel free to give it a try!

Stelvio's main selling point here is that you can use our higher-level components for different services and have them automatically configured.

So, you don't have to configure IAM roles, or Env vars manually, as this is handled for you through a concept called linking. https://stelvio.dev/concepts/linking/

In our experience, that alone adds a lot of productivity gains for teams.

Co-author here. We’re providing higher level components for easier IaC code and automate permission generation between those resources.

On top of that we also have a dev mode that lets you run your lambdas locally - while within the AWS infrastructure

Same for me. I've seen many people being back to normal though.

I re-enrolled on mobile using a Yubikey NFC with the iOS app back in October when prompted.

Force logged-out today from a session on Desktop Chrome. Stuck in the loop. Force logged-out on iOS app.

Burnt recovery code in further attempts.

Tried again when support asked me to by email. Got a "suspicious login attempt prevented" message. That's 2 hours ago. Silence from support since.

Tried again, back to the loop (the "suspicious login attempt" message is gone), but I'm still not able to re-enroll the key.

Anyone can describe their setup that managed to login again?

There’s so much conflicting advice out there. Reality is: When you want to go from overweight to healthy, nothing beats calories in/calories out. Beyond that, like if you’re on project “visible abs”, tweaks might make the difference: you could go deep into the rabbit hole of insulin, anti-nutrients, etc. but then: what works for you, is probably different than what works for others, so there’s a lot trial and error.

That being said, the key to all of this is discipline and consistency.

So, for a book, pick one that you find plausible, entertaining (in terms of reading and in terms of trying the recipes and protocols), and that aligns with your lifestyle or the rate of change you’re willing to accept.

For me, I started with 4 Hour Body. This might not not perfect from today’s knowledge but I liked the way, Tim is presenting the material, his way of thinking and the pragmatic approach. From there on, and after seeing significant and fast results, I went down the rabbit hole and tried almost every “biohack” routine i could find.

Try a couple of books, then pick the one that you enjoyed reading the most and then mercilessly stick to it to the letter. That should help. If it doesn’t, try the next one. Not a single human being in history lost weight from just reading. Take action!

Depends on what you define as "worth it":

- compared to the MacBook Pro, you basically get the same power with a slightly inferior display and without active cooling (which can inhibit long running high-cpu tasks)

- compared with AMD/Intel: It will give you the better hardware (build quality, trackpad, battery lifetime) for a markup. Depending on your use cases, compute power can be either better or worse (gaming on M* is not that great, for example)

- If you want to go beyond the base models, Apple charges ridiculous amounts for RAM and SSD, and those cannot be upgraded after purchase

- Operating system/ecosystem is a matter of personal preference

I personally still love Apple (Unix with decent UI), but like too much things these days, the list of disappointments grows longer. Not as long as with Windows, though.

That being said, if you're on a budget, you're good with a decent AMD/Intel notebook (e.g. a Thinkpador XPS) with Linux. That'll be a work horse and probably lacks some of the "wow, that's nice" effects that you might still get with a mac.

Absolutely!

When I was in my twenties, a friend of mine had a catering lease at a golf club. I never worked seriously in the catering industry, but I always enjoyed helping out there (in service, in the warehouse, in the kitchen). It was a welcome change from constantly staring at a screen, and at the end of the day, it was a different kind of tiredness (the physical kind, you know).

What sort of feature/tool would get you to stop using Discord/Slack/etc for secrets?

An integrated solution for the whole environment. I pick a project, it opens the IDE, sets environment variables, fires up other services/infrastructure, lets me select secrets (that might be shared between projects), lets me share secrets (with other people)... Probably something like tilt, but simpler, integrated into an IDE, and with support for secrets.

Not OP but I see two points:

First there are some societal standards just settled. Universal healthcare as an example which is mentioned in the article, but also the broader spectrum of social democratic policies as mentioned in other comments. While that gives you some stability in society, it could be seen as “groupthink”

Second, there is a tendency to (informally) label right-leaning policies, libertarian ideas and patriotism as Nazism. That’s not a problem of the “far right” but also the “far left” as criticism on Israel’s current policies could be labeled antisemitic. The slippery slope here is that outlawing one thing (nazism) is socially accepted but assigning the label of what actually constitutes “nazism” is the actual problem.

I guess there are two main effects of “screentime”: consumption only (doomscrolling or binge watching) and the light effect.

A book would not tick any of those marks

An ereader would account for looking into a light source only if you use background illumination. And even then, it can be set to emit significantly less light than a smartphone screen, especially in the blue frequencies
