https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SxdOUGdseq4 this one comes to mind. A talk by Rich Hickey explaining that “simple” and “easy” are different concepts in software design, and that systems become better when we aim for simplicity (few intertwined parts) rather than ease (things that feel convenient at the moment).

Hello from a packed devroom.

You can't attend all 30+ tracks at once anyway, you need to see recordings afterwards anyway if you are remotely interested in consuming the conference. I'd say the experience is just as much about meeting the people behind all the internet handles, getting into a full lecture room one talk in advance and listening in to something you otherwise wouldn't, join something bigger than email lists and matrix rooms, it's a unique wibe you can't find anywhere else.

I wonder if it naturally regulates itself in the way that people who get fed up by the queues don't come back the next year. You can definitely start by adding measures to limit the capacity or whatnot, but in both cases you exclude a certain part of the potential participants. I think I'd rather keep the wibe and ensure people can at least experience it once, than start gatekeeping.

Also, the fries are good.

This is great, and fun, and rewarding, thanks!

I've been thinking about the same, but use old cassette tapess and just print a small QR code on the back, then rip out the intestines on an old cassette player and put in a raspi and camera to read the QR and play the equivalent song/album.

Has anyone encountered any good YouTube channels that explore and showcase these workflows in a productive and educational manner?

Nice to see tooling like this pop up. At previous company, when we built our, mostly self-hosted, analytics platform, and had devs average on one schama migration per day, we spent so much time dealing with this semi-manually, leading to all kinds of breaking and hiccups downstream. We had something working rather automatically at the end, but it really felt like tooling that should exist for everybody.

Lol, yes.

Crowd source where to find Club-Mate shops.

Yesterday's shenanigans: https://clubmate.place/ - find (and/or register) where you find your ClubMate! Just click on the map to add a store.

If you keep your starter in a big jar, it'll just go to waste. Keep it small and you'll never need to throw any away.

I tend to make «sourdough discard crackers» if I have leftovers. It works well timing wise, I'm in the kitchen doing the initial stretching of my loaf anyways.

I like think of it less as artificial intelligence and more like a combination of a lossy zip file of the internet and like a pretty coherent word generator.

I recall my AI professor in uni telling us during the first lecture that «Artificial intelligence is this target, that, and once we get there it, is it no longer artificial intelligence, is just an algorithm» – and this still feels like the case.

I cannot recall why i did not go for wiki.js myself, I tried, but I kept looking. Ended up with https://docmost.com/ and I've been quite happy. It's probably more equal to Notion then Wikipedia, but as a internal knowledge base it seem to be hit the right spot in terms simplicity and features.

This is a great approach if you have an idea or startup and just want to get things done -- one I would choose 10 out of 10 times when starting something new. You'll know when it’s time to move on, and you can likely postpone that step a bit longer as well.

Yes and yes.

I actually just refer to myself as a Digital Janitor these days, even though I'm hired as SRE. Funny enough, it's met with much more understanding, and it is ironically kind of fitting as well.

Good watch, thanks!

Before we jumped on all kinds of SaaS offerings we used pgbadger.

I came here to say this!

I can share some articles later, but Nomad is a ten-fold easier.

Working mostly with IT operations, I'd say the Google SRE books.

I've also have good experiences with this approach. Async by nature, writing it down often helps you actually articulate your problems precisely, and bonus; other teams or stakeholders can skim through the messages getting a situational awareness of what's happening.

Google recently also their variant of this product, called AlloyDB.

And some type of encrypting would be nice. I find it very exciting that The Punkt phone is picking up Signal at least.

This is also what fly.io is using underneath their Nomad orchestrator.

The certificate transparency log is also a good place to look for clues. ⁨https://crt.sh
