Is the age of 5+ nines over? Looking at our vendor status channel we see a lot more incidents than ever before. And it seems like everyone is ok with this?

Don't ask yourself if AI can do your job and write production ready code and a full system. Ask yourself what does it need from you to be able to do it.

What da fuq is this "would you like to update y/n" homebrew? out of nowhere you made this an interactive prompt?

Gemini on Android Auto is an absolute game changer for active commuting. Before I could listen, podcasts or books, now... Now I can write blog posts by having conversations, lay the foundation of research for a project, even generate code. Holy shit.

The #PHP community has lost an amazing soul, and I am heartbroken at Ryan’s passing. In his memory, please donate to the GoFundMe for his son. Donations will go to his 529 education fund and custodial investment accounts. https://gofund.me/2fb3676c

Moving back to Brazil is mostly fine, not as traumatic as one would think. BUT THE INTERNET, MY GOD. Slow, frequent hiccups, longe traceroutes, and company security proxies in the middle only make it worse.

Dear Americans. No, Bolsonaro is not a "honest" and good man. But he is a "grab her by the *****" kinda guy, so I can see where the confusion stems from.

@raycast.com 's extension template, ecosystem, and docs are so good that you can quite literally get AI to code out the entire extension on its own, using all the extra features offered by the framework. That is some outstanding work from them.

So Gemini app can't generate images, tells me to use AI studio. Then AI studio tells me it can generate the image... But can't display it! What the actual fuck Google?

AI Agents are like talking to a Jr. Engineer with the entire library of bokks and docs of all languages and eng practices in their head. If you give them broad, unspecific jobs, they will get stuck or generate garbage. If you give them better guardrails or specs, they can write anything.

The "I can't fix it all in one go, so I won't even try" epidemic is real. We as engineers often say "that thing has not tests, i can't change it, it's a legacy system" but we also never incrementally add tests to the thing to get it out of that state. Even if we have proven it to be worth it.

I regularly watch Airport Security Brasil before flights. Today while boarding we were inspected by the police dogs and I recognized a couple officers from the show. How cool is that, also I was clean 😂

I haven't read enough yet, but I bet this Mexican Boat crashing into the Brooklyn bridge will have something to do with imperial versus metric units.

Alguém já usou o portal de developers do BB para acessar as APIs de extratos? Alguem usou um certificado letsencypt nesse processo? To batendo na trave o tempo todo.

That guitar scene on TLOUS was beautifully executed. But I'm just never gonna forgive them for not having the Pearl Jam reference in there.

Billions stolen from retired folks in Brazil, huge corruption crime... But let's park that and let's all collectively bitch about a red shirt instead. Priorities.

Portugal and Spain: Freaking out ovr Massive Outage. Me in Brasilia: *sees rain coming*, tells boss he is going to have to take he rest of the day off.

So, The Space ManChild has cut funding to the CVE program essentially. Welcome to the Dark Ages of cybersecurity. Hang on to your data, it's gonna be a rough ride.

Do you miss NL? Yes! There I had 3 power outages in 13 years. There i did not even have sure protectors. Here tehe lights go out 3 times per month and my surge protector just BLEW THE FUCK UP. And don't get me started on the internet.

Well fuck me... the only reason I ever shared y data with Google was to be able to look back and find places... Google Maps deleted ALL my hostorical data, Fitbit deleted all my weight data... This is more than frustrating.

Which of the Marvel Avengers movie was gonna reset the timelines again? Can we speed it up?

What a conundrum. A paid blogpost that tells the story of a free and open blogpost about how a free and open company is protecting itself from money-making companies that use their content to say things in their own words. Irony is somewhere in there.

NEW: AI bots caused Wikipedia's bandwidth costs to increase by 50 percent last year, and are still growing exponentially. I wrote about its plan to fight back — and whether it will be enough. www.platformer.news/wikipedia-ai...

This morning I booked a doc appointment and talked to a company's support people. Bot the Doc and the Support Agent were called Rafael. I'm really back in Brazil.

I have decided to buy my own company "DMS systems" with assets from my other company "DMS We Play Video Games all day". We will pay 100Bi for it, so now that values our game start-up at 250Bi. And it now means we will be using all that work data to make playing games better. This is how you money

It's very clear to anyone that the leaked data issue was a DEI problem. The journalist was added to the group for inclusion purposes since he was a minority.

And at the same time. While in region A I cannot see content from Region B. Which is fine, but i also cannot see Live games from Region A while in Region A. It's all just so unfriendly towards people who move around.

Man we have really fucked up user support. I cannot switch Apple Account Regions, because of a subscription. And I cannot (even if I forgo the money) cancel a subscription without it running out until next payment cycle.

Tomar no cu NeoEnergia. Toda semana é uma fase que se vai, ou falta luz completo. Toda. Semana. Tomar no cu Eletrobras e esse no break de merda que não aguenta um router por mais de uma hora.... Caralho eu não sentia falta dessa merda de serviço.
