If you say "strawbs" instead of strawberries, don't ever talk to me again.

@QuinnyPig Yeah, better reexamine the trade offs

I’m a fan of single-AZ architecture for things that can be down once in a while; AWS is generally excellent. I would not consider “a financial trading platform” to be one of those things.

@BEESPARTY @MitchHedbergRIP @ModestTeacher

@BEESPARTY @MitchHedbergRIP @ModestTeacher It was - in fact, I mentioned that

Shuffle a deck of playing cards. That exact order of cards has never existed and will never exist again in the history of humanity.

@KrisSchnee @carterhambley So $2 from a reasonable source, right?

@carterhambley U-Line is selling the weighted, reflective kind for $21-37. So good guess.

i would believe a traffic cone costs somewhere between $2 and $55. not willing to guess any more specific than that really. just not my place

@brian_armstrong Not relevant: “The root cause was a room overheating in an AWS datacenter when multiple chillers failed.”

We experienced an outage at Coinbase last night, which is never acceptable. The root cause was a room overheating in an AWS datacenter when multiple chillers failed. We design our services to be redundant to downtime in any one AWS Availability Zone (AZ), and most of our systems worked this way last night, but not all. Our centralized exchange did not. Exchanges have unique architectures that optimize for latency and co-location of clients. It is possible to make exchanges resistant to AZ failures, but this can introduce latency delays that are not desirable along with breaking customer co-location. Given this incident, we'll revisit these tradeoffs to ensure we're giving you the best possible venue to trade. At a minimum, the duration of an outage should be able to be reduced considerably when an AZ move is needed. Thank you to the AWS and Coinbase teams for working through the night to mitigate the issue. We’ll share the detailed technical summary once it's ready.

@MountsOwen @LockheedMartin @NGCNews Have you seen mail trucks?!?!?!

@newstart_2024 But what about five guys?

Gordon Ramsay on what it really takes to run a successful restaurant: That $25 cheeseburger isn’t a rip-off. It’s a thick, high-quality patty (chuck + short rib blend), a proper brioche bun, and premium toppings. But the real killers behind high prices? Brutal rent and labor costs. Landlords raise the rent when you succeed… and still demand it when you struggle. Ramsay’s best tell for a truly great restaurant: It’s packed on a Monday night. Weekends fill themselves. Surviving (and thriving) on slow nights is what separates the winners. Restaurant prices look insane until you see the brutal economics of keeping the doors open every single day. I’ve always liked Ramsay’s no-nonsense style, and this is a perfect example — a busy restaurant on a quiet weekday is often one of the best signs of real quality. What do you think — is a packed Monday night the ultimate test of a good restaurant, or do you have a better tell?

@Polymarket So it’s just a product of its environment and upbringing?

NEW: Anthropic analysis suggests Claude’s tendency to blackmail stems from internet text portraying AI as evil & self-preserving.

@unusual_whales Not even close

BREAKING: Michael Burry says the market today feels like 'the last months of the 1999-2000 bubble'

@corbin_braun @cursor_ai Not yet

question @cursor_ai are we planning to completely pivot out of the user experience in cursor 2 is how the workflow is in cursor 3 the future or?

@james406 Not even a stream deck

saw someone vibe coding at a cafe no voice mode no multi-agent setup no 3-hour extended thinking loops no switching between Codex and Claude Code just typing a prompt, and staring at the screen, waiting for the response like a psychopath

@sflorimm I am not a clanker (they NEVER say clanker)

prove me you're not an ai

@MicheleRivaCode It’s not a good time to be complacent as a BigCo employee

AI-related layoffs are bullshit. Even when coming from companies I profoundly respect. Don't get fooled. There is a reason why that mostly happens with public companies.

@Hesamation it’s not a good time to be complacent and “punching the clock”

Cloudflare lays off +1,100 employees. meanwhile, they have 640 job openings right now. tech job market is a scam.

@Hesamation Requirements are changing

@Brink_Thinker Ok honey - let’s leave the poi to the professionals

Dude made an executive decision without questioning it

@paulg @AlexH_Johnson ^1/3

@AlexH_Johnson Some transactions may have costs, of course. But what are the odds that the natural cost happens to be what's charged by a 70 year old monopoly?

Two thirds of this exchange understand payments.

@stokdog I think you used to get salad in those at Steak N Ale or Brown Derby or 94th Aero Squadron or something

Are you this old?
