I recently built and open-sourced an Alfred Workflow to speed up GCP navigation, eliminating the need for endless clicking in Cloud Console. github.com/dineshgowda24/… Why I built it 👉 dineshgowda.com/posts/supercha… #golang #GCP #alfred #devtool #googlecloud

@wesbos These are trivial tasks that can be performed in terminal. Always use jq Cli. It’s light weight and extremely powerful, also supports pretty printing jqlang.org

HEADS UP. Popular JSON formatter extension has started injecting geolocation tracking and donation UI into websites Reddit thread seems to think they are also swapping tracking IDs for affiliates (a-la honey) Uninstall and switch to another one

@RhysSullivan If you already know which GCP page you want to open, my Alfred workflow lets you jump straight to it from Spotlight, built specifically to cut out the extra clicks and reduce friction. github.com/dineshgowda24/…

this is what you have to go through if you want to get an api key for your gmail

Full report for yesterday’s Google outage - not feature flagging a new code path - null pointer crashing a binary when reading empty fields from Spanner - remediation causing a thundering herd as there was no exponential backoff - which required manual throttling to recover from

Oh my gosh! It's happening 😵 Here's me on macOS 26 Beta running containers *without Docker installed* 😱 NATIVE CONTAINER SUPPORT IN MACOS github.com/apple/container

We let down our customers at @Cloudflare today. Our Workers KV service failed and the downstream products that rely on that service had outages of their own. We will publish a full postmortem soon. I know that these kinds of incidents have real and serious impact for teams around the world as they do their work and serve their own customers. Beyond the specifics of this incident, the postmortem will go into detail about how we are removing this failure case. We will do everything we can to make this right going forward and I apologize for the problems caused today.

How is this happening: GCP major outage; Cloudflare major outage… at the same time! Never seen this before Their infra is fully independent AFAIK

@btbytes, this might be something of interest to you.

@eatonphil We use raw SQL with sqlx and the pgx driver in production. It might seem like an anti-pattern at first, but once you get used to it, there’s no looking back, it keeps us close to SQL, avoids ORM complexity, and simplifies debugging without printing generated queries.

Is raw sql actually used?

@sushovitrazdan @championswimmer @InfinyteClub @AnkiTandon Could you share me invite?

I just had a chance to try out @InfinyteClub (thanks to @championswimmer/@AnkiTandon) and my first thoughts were: WHERE WAS THIS HIDDEN GEM UNTIL NOW? The MF tracking page has such a clean UI and delivers useful insights. I hope to unlock the Private Markets section soon.

After more than 15 years, it's time to switch browsers. I just want Chrome but without nefarious behavior by Google. What Chrome-based browser would you recommend on macOS?

@kpawpii @nilansaha @enesbala55 Also, I like go for small micro services with a defined domain boundary. But for monoliths go is just meh and I would go all in on Rails

@nilansaha @enesbala55 And I bet if we used Rust (my language of choice) we’d get maybe an extra 10-25% over Go, but we don’t because we prioritize our ability to ship the features that make us money. I also like Go and if Go is better in that regard then that’s truly a convincing reason to rewrite

How much RAM my Go backend uses 😎 Includes a worker that's constantly polling for new jobs too. But keep using JS / TS you noobs.

@kpawpii @nilansaha @enesbala55 This is so true. I work on ruby and go at scale. One thing people don’t account is engineering cost needed to build a feature. One of the reasons people still use node, ruby at scale is the ability to ship features fast. Which will nullify what ever savings you get from infra.

Enough water has passed under the bridges of Srirangapattana that now the Ambari name can be reused (Apache Ambari; web ui for hadoop clusters)

@btbytes @ActivityWatchIt @obsdmd Did you check here? github.com/alfred-workflo…

@btbytes I am not aware of any Alfred workflow for @ActivityWatchIt. But for @obsdmd I use github.com/macedotavares/… It has an option to log journal entries with timestamps. I use it all the time.

Any @alfredapp users here that have written workflow(s) to work with @ActivityWatchIt 's APIs? I have an alfred app workflow to log timestamped logs to an @obsdmd journal. But, I'd rather not do manual time tracking...

I created a Go package to parse the browser, device, operating platform and bots from user agent strings. Use cases include analytics and tailored responses based on the client. github.com/dineshgowda24/…

Did he, or did not? 🤔
