@pkropf Yep, AV team is already hard at work but they have like 15 tracks to deal with so probably a few days at least :)

Thanks to everyone for attending my Minimum Viable Kubernetes talk at SCaLE! Slides are up at coderanger.net/talks/mini-k8s/ and I'll post the video there once available. I think K8s is a great choice for small teams and I'm always happy to answer questions. #kcdla #scale #scale20x

Extremely proud of our 4.9 rating on iOS and 4.8 on Android!

@danieltjamess My dude, maybe don't reply to posts from literally years ago to spam your app.

@kantrn If you are looking for a native iOS client for 380+ StackExchange channels (including StackOverflow) look no further: apps.apple.com/it/app/crew-fo…

iOS 14.2 has finally killed the long-dying StackOverflow app. Sad :(

@goenning Where's a good place to send long-form feedback? Happy to chat on Slack/Discord/email/whatever.

@kantrn Hey Noah, I’m working on aptakube.com I’d love to hear your thoughts on it.

Are there any Kubernetes UIs actually being maintained anymore? Octant seems to been have stripped of resources, Infra is dead, K9s is in community-split-limbo, Kubenav never got beyond a one-person project. Kubernetic is still going but new features not in the desktop app. Sigh.

Did you know that there is no definitive rule set for the Royal Game of Ur? At RoyalUr.net we chose Bell's path with the simple rules due to its popularity. However, we have plans to add all pictured paths, and eventually even the complex rules proposed by Finkel!

@glyph @hynek Ahem 2020ti.me

@hynek hey at least it’s not march 2020 any more

it’s been less than two months

Farm RPG is proud to support @FeedingAmerica! Thank you to all the players that support the game and made this possible.

@glyph @gotyaoi It's kind of like the "use a coin flip to probe your internal biases" thing maybe? Use deployment fear to find the problem spots in your pipeline.

@gotyaoi also though as I just said to @kantrn : the point I'm trying to make is focused very much on having the conversation about where the real dangers are for future deploys, *not* on pushing for the current deploy-under-discussion to go ahead

Okay I guess it's a holiday week time for some Deployment Discourse

@glyph That’s fair, I think the more holistic view is to see these systems as built to a spec and if you don’t know your spec for yours, for the love of $deity you should figure that out and document it.

@kantrn I've watched real people slide down this slope into the spike pit at the bottom :). I don't think it's that unusual; recoiling from the risk of deploys and mitigating it by delaying for longer and longer is such a common antipattern that it's in every continuous delivery talk

@glyph So I’ve you’ve hardened your system for “Friday deploy” as an acceptable risk level, I don’t think it follows that holidays should also be included. I would need to substantially lower my risk thresholds for much less benefit. I appreciate the parallels though.

@glyph Sure but that sounds like a slippery slope argument :) for any given deploy that’s a reasonable assertion but big holidays have a vastly magnified downside and usually a reduced upside (or at best, baseline).

@glyph How safe is safe enough and what’s the cost-benefit? I could deploy today and it would probably be fine but almost nothing would be lost by waiting a few days and quite a bit is lost by being wrong.

Don't just joke and assume it's bad and that everybody who deploys on friday is an idiot. Don't deploy friday if it's not safe for you, but accept *that is a problem* and you should be writing down the things you expect will go wrong, and how to create pre-deploy tests for them.

We just broke 200,000 registered players! Thanks for playing!

This is all a reach, the far more likely answer is there is no plan, his ego is the size of a small moon, and everyone involved is just this incompetent. But I guess it's still good to game out how this could end up as a Problem™ rather than just a hilarious broken website.

Like his whole "Twitter should be a bank" nonsense, who would even consider doing that? Well there is a whole segment of the market already primed to think that real actual banks are evil and putting your money in TwitBank will own the libs.

Going to shoot my shot and guess that Twitter isn't going to actually die, but will be taken down "for maintenance" for a week or two and come back as an explicitly right-leaning platform.
