The pricing chart just doesn't even begin to make sense. What is this? Do any of you have experience with it?

Fark
That sounds a lot more fun than AWS DeepRacer.

+1 - Yes please

It reminds me of how Civilization has global warming and pollution penalties. I can't wait to play it.
That license is not FOSS. Users beware of the impending subscription costs to come.
Hopefully this is all performing better than CodeWhisperer. That AI is a slag pile compared to GitHub CoPilot.

Bad suggestions. Poor user experience.

My dev team rejected it pretty quickly, and absolutely loves CoPilot.

YMMV of course.

Yeah, just think of how the battle scene at Helm's Deep would look if they weren't able to use CGI. AI generated CGI is just the next step forward.

Write and produce good content and we'll watch, subscribe, and buy.

A very pragmatic use of SOA / microservice.

I do believe the frontpage has lost some of it's magic over the years. But the 'new' pages still have plenty of interesting topics that don't get the upvotes.

Matomo for web facing pieces, and OpenSearch for API.

Sort of.....

I went from on-metal K8s clusters, which were a complete PITA and required a full team to manage, to using EKS which has been everything K8s should be... easy peasy.

Two companies ago I had a wonderful koi pond outside the office around which my 1:1 and I would walk around and enjoy the tranquility. It was great and I very much miss it.
Re:Toxic Positivity on Tuesday May 24, 2022 @10:04AM (#31492257)
I spent several years at a SaaS which was plagued with toxic positivity. The underpinning platform was slapdash and took 4x the expected time to add features because of it. Yet the GM walked around trumpeting that we were fielding a best in class offering.

Any mention of the reality of the situation was met with replies about not being a team player and showing negativity. It was an absolute morale killer for the development and SRE teams charged with on-call rotations which resulted in exhaustion and frequent outages.

Start-up code is often naive and hastily put together. Growth pains are expected as customer count and revenue increase. Don't bullshit the situation with false positivity. Address the issues and live to fight another day.

In the end, that SaaS has slowly faded away to obsolescence due to the lack of honesty about the actual state of the union.

They switched over to Let's Encrypt for their cert.
Same here. SSL checks out clean. Safari, Firefox, and older Chrome work just fine.

Way to go Google. My customers are livid and evidently getting auto-updated throughout the day.

StackOverFlow Filters Suck

Maybe I'm hitting that grumpy old man age, but the newly release Stackoverflow Filters are pretty damn annoying when trying to work on a serious issue.Am I alone in this thinking?

A quick bit of browsing the Amazon Basics line of products would certainly lead one to assume they had totally knocked off the 3rd party products they thought they could without getting major brand pushback.
