We've just released a new course on Kumulus Technologies. This is an opportunity to learn the #cloudplattform templating with HashiCorp #Terraform. Automate infrastructure and application configuration and deployment. #cloudnative #platformengineering lnkd.in/gNnwJ5ha

📷NEW video from @amprog’s @savestomatopods, @TaotaoTasi, Toni Pandolfo, @alaasadi & @hiimhai follows a day in the life of @reptinasablan as she advocates for the inclusion of the people of the Mariana Islands in the conservation of their lands & water 📷 americanprogress.org/article/a-day-…

Lighting an area at night doesn't guarantee reduced crime. Lighting at night is a more complex issue than I realized when getting into it. A short introduction to the issue of light pollution I wrote for #MauiTimes. mauitimes.news/night-pollutio… #lightpollution

Enjoyed talking with @lewtucker about the how and why of #servicemesh for any application - cloud or not. If you'd like to learn how to enable service mesh for your #cloudservice or #onprem application, please reach out. @kumulustech is here to help. hubs.la/Q01Cms3Q0

Was moving to #thecloud a mistake? Despite the recent hype, probably not. Still, it's complicated and @lewtucker and @rstarmer break down how to keep your #cloudjourney on the right track in the face of nay-sayers. hubs.la/Q01CmvWl0 #kumulusoncloud

Cloud networking is hard. #Servicemesh tools can make it easier - and more secure. Hear @rstarmer & @lewtucker talk about post-firewall #cloudnetworking and #cloudsecurity. #kumulusoncloud #istio #consul #anthos youtu.be/1qBGiCitT8I

Going into a library and browsing the shelves (seeing what books are literally next to each other) can be a very useful research experience which this change will kill. Also, a lot of books aren’t available in online formats. A step “forward” that is really ten steps backwards…

Met members of the @NASAHarvest team on Maui yesterday. Doing great collaborative work with @MauiUnitedWay to support #foodsecurity. 👏👏

@MarkWitton @JaimeHeadden @bonz_us Seems like the way to go (as it seems the genus was new too?) is to call it an unnamed compsognathid. Or the compsognathid formerly known as ...

@JaimeHeadden @john_starmer @bonz_us Which is a fine and pragmatic view to hold, but my question was about what we're calling it >now< - does the original name have any validity at all? - and it seems opinion is divided. Obviously, this ambiguity should eventually be addressed, but that's another conversation.

Hey, PalaeoTwitter: what's the best way to handle the name "Ubirajara jubatus" now that the paper has been withdrawn? I'm working on a commission of it, but am I working on Ubirajara, "Ubirajara" or "technically unnamed compsognathid"? Are we in nomen nudum territory?

@MarkWitton @JaimeHeadden @bonz_us AFAIK, the fact that the electronic pub. was not (is not) registered with the Official Register of Zoological Nomenclature (ZooBank) means that the name does not meet requirements for electronic publishing and so is not valid.

@ibogost Stop hating on marine biology. Wikipedia redirects both seastar and sea star to starfish. (Need I say more?) Those in the sea star camp are clearly a radicalized fringe group (probably English majors 🧐). en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Starfish

@Grady_Booch Good times. 🌴😱🌴

I've been building courses and teaching about #cloudnative technologies for about ten years now and I have yet to find an LMS platform that handles code well. Katacoda is a step in the right direction but has too many guardrails. Has anyone used/heard of one? #edtech

Just in case you were wondering if any invertebrates have vertebrae, here you go. This is a vertebral element from the #ophiuroid Ophiura. These are fused ossicles (note the suture along the midline) that core the arms #Echinodermata

@SteveSmith_Tech Close but not quite. ;)

What's the opposite of self-service? 🤔 You can have a central team that 1. offers self-service capabilities 2. offers capabilities by ticket What's 2 called?

A remarkable way to look at how an organization is connected and provides a stunning visualization of what "silos" in a company look like. microsoft.com/en-us/worklab/…

Corporate profits only accounted for roughly 11% of price growth from 1979 to 2019. Today, record corporate profits account for 53.9% of price increases. Folks, corporate greed is driving inflation, not workers asking for better wages.
