Been working as a dev for over 15 years now, mostly in startups so alway learning, very fast mover.
The last few years has mostly revolved around building large internal cloud consumption platforms for enterprises through a boutique consultancy; involved from initial pitches through to implementation.
Previously successfully raised VC funds and while ultimately unsuccessful in the long run, learned a lot.
I self host a huge amount of stuff on-top of a custom cloud platform I built using a Kubernetes cluster deployed as a tenant of my cloud.
I run a few servers which all have an "ordlet" installed, akin to the kubelet, which configure network namespaces for isolated tenant networking and boots virtual machines which use a EC2 style metadata server to fetch their boot script, which for this purpose configures a HA kubernetes cluster that then uses ArgoCD to fetch all the manifests from my git repo using an AppSet.
It's so incredibly over complicated and over engineered, it's a lot of fun :)

I've bought 6 of these direct from Espressif on Aliexpress, highly recommend!
https://github.com/ordiri/ordiriI've been working on an incredibly over engineered platform to run my home lab and to help learn about some lower levels of the stack I don't get to play with much in my day job as a consultant.
It's based on the kubernetes api server so while it doesn't understand "pods" or even proper "namespaces", it uses the same YAML resource model and api server code.

I'm a big subscriber to broken windows theory; leaking raw errors and plain text passwords makes me think it's likely common practice...
I've reached out to them so hopefully they can get this sorted!

I tried to signup for TechCrunch Disrupt to pitch our VC funded predictive analytics platform that uses heuristics and ML to find what is driving users to convert and identifies potential changes you can make to your website to drive conversion growth and got a very silly SQL error that showed them inserting my password in plain text!(error code 22001) SQLSTATE[22001]: [Microsoft][ODBC Driver...
Hey mate, I'd love to know what languages you deal with?
Try Sublime Text, it has a VI mode that helps the move.

AWS Is currently having issues with a bunch of our instances and the console reports the following error
"An error occurred fetching instance data: The service is unavailable. Please try again shortly.
"Anyone else experiencing a problem?
Fortunately the Opsworks service wasn't able to contact EC2 API so although it attempted to terminate the servers, the termination call failed so the instances are still alive and functioning but there is now a disconnect between Opsworks and EC2
We are getting errors across multiple AWS API's. It's nothing to do with Opsworks itself, rather it appears like there is an internal networking issue.
Both SQS and SNS were erroring and now SQS has gone down completly with all requests timing out.
All of our opsworks instances are currently being shut down, we have already had 20 servers automatically terminated...
There goes the weekend!!
CAn confirm we are also experiencing massive issues, took AWS about an hour to update status page. Attempted to file support ticket and that timed out, when the request finished it had created 10 duplicated tickets and still waiting on the phone call from AWS RE ticket.

We are a stealth startup building the next generation of automated identification verification. We have various contracts with government and banking groups and are growing fast.
Any lang experience is fine, we currently have only 1 developer and the majority of the codebase is in PHP (Symfony2) with various java and node.js micro services.

I wrote this little simulator to help a friend in college who was stuck with his thesis. It simulates the output of a mine based on the distances required for trucks to travel and each location and trucks capacity.

To mitigate this, simply bind to the "touchmove" and "touchstart" events as well.
Awesome, wish it was around a month or two ago when I was getting my bike! Never knew there were so many different bikes I could ride on my L plates...
I doubt they strictly enforce this. It's most likely there so they have the power to have links removed if they think it is hurting their rep.

I have been working on a prototype home automation system which will run on a raspberry pi and be fed commands from Arduino sensors. I have started working on a new design and need feed back and ideas. Conceptually its very simple and made to be quite distributed and although I currently only plan to implement this as a C application I eventually want to provide language bindings to make...
Hey mate,
There is already a app level loyalty system which tracks coffees ordered and will automatically give the user a free item when they have purchased 10 items :).
I definitely want to take this national shortly.
The way it works is by recharging your account with credit so that the fees are only incurred once on a 10-20$ transaction.
Thanks for the support! Hopefully I can get it off the ground :P

Hi,I'm Dave and I am a coffee junkie! I have 3 coffees before I get to work and the count just increases from then on. The only thing I don't like about my habit is waiting like a seagull around a chip shop while I wait for my coffee to be made.So to solve this, I have been working on PocketCafe for quite some time and I'm almost ready to launch It solves the problem of waiting by giving the...
