A not so usual event in tech. Instead of creating their own projects, Google and
Facebook select Zephyr RTOS for Next Generation Products:
https://zephyrproject.org/google-and-facebook-select-zephyr-rtos-for-next-generation-products/

@jaredwolff Ok, I'll look into it.

Autumn porn from #Trondheim

@miskaknapek No, I did not! 😁

Just a normal day in the @NordicTweets
office:

I'm outside, waiting for satellites to talk to my firmware.

#cellulariot

@jaredwolff GPS is also working!

How about @github dials down on all the vanity
metrics they abuse to quantify human skill on user profile pages?

That's what turned @hacktoberfest into a
shitshow. https://twitter.com/github/status/1311772722234560517

It's @borderless_dev. Now you know what
the "borderless" stands for.

@_asa I've switched from Mocha to Jest a few years
ago and still enjoy it. It's reasonably fast, works well with Typescript, has a
good watch feature, and the mock helpers are great.

@jaredwolff
@NordicTweets The PR has been merged
(https://github.com/nrfconnect/sdk-nrf/pull/2961), you can now point the docs
to https://github.com/nrfconnect/sdk-nrf again.

Amazon Timestream is now available and it's a dB optimized for IoT, in the
middle between Aurora and DynamoDB: https://aws.amazon.com/timestream/

I'm looking forward to add it to @bifravst,
because managing Aurora schemas is a little clunky.

I think the road to Smøla offers way more spectacular driving at the Atlantic
Ocean compared to Antlanterhavsveien. #Norway 🇳🇴

@MHanasand It was ten years ago, when we did
that trip (Stavanger → Bergen), so I don't remember.

@pati_gallardo
@mite, then @harvest.

@pati_gallardo
@mite @harvest Mite
has great and easy UI and many integrations because of their API. I used it for
years and the way it allows to bill hourly but also set a budget (I did both
kinds of projects) was great.

It's 2020 and still white dudes in tech didn't get the memo: our most important
skill is collaboration, not gatekeeping.

The founder of @DistributeAid is in need of
a decent, workin, Laptop (her's has a broken keyboard and is in general bad
shape).

She is currently in Athens, Greece, so if you know anyone locally providing used
laptops for non-profits would be greatly appreciated!

@pati_gallardo Howly shit, this is
terrible. In what world is consent a legal contract?!

@pati_gallardo GIFs to the rescue:

@DistributeAid "we can help arrange
shipping"

I'd say it's way less cumbersome to get it to work. But still not "easy".

Woha, what a banger: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a9-7jid7v3c

Back in the day, we had a VERY LOUD speaker in the kitchen of our office going
off when our servers went down. That created a huge incentive... Bugs annoy
users, sometimes it helps to annoy developers, too.

#GraphQL Anti-Pattern: not expressing a graph, but doing REST all over again.

Keep your top level Query lean!

@daberni Right, multiple "entry points" to
the Graph, especially when they are primary Domain Entities, is fine.

Your Query is then

{ books { ... } }

which is good.

@pati_gallardo
@turtlesec_no Lovely!

I've been doing static sites myself since 2015 for http://coderbyheart.com,
and I think it's time to switch over to
@GatsbyJS.

The current codebase is from 2017 and outdated too much to make the effort to
kick the can a little more: https://github.com/coderbyheart/coderbyheart.com
...

@GatsbyJS ... JS projects don't age well. :/

@lxztlr I already have built multiple sites with
Gatsby, and I like the GraphQL way of managing content and that it uses React
for layout. It also works well with headless CMSes (I use
@contentful). I don't see any downsides. So
I'll stick with that.

.@github DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT IT!

I've tried to build something with a no-code platform tonight. I haven't been
infuriated that quickly in a long time. It's like baking pizza but you can't
open the oven, all the ingredients need to be squeezed through the ventilation
grille, while it's hot and burns your fingers.

Signed. https://twitter.com/chris_herd/status/1313202762121961472

The setup for AWS is done and I have the first CI runs on GitHub actions hitting
real hardware! No assertions, yet, but I already have the log output from the
device available. 🌩️

Next up is coming up with a way to describe assertions against the log output.

Given a log output (from a test run on real hardware), I want to express
assertions against these logs. Are there any existing test frameworks that use
that approach? It's like #BDD testing, but without any interaction (the firmware
can be configured to behave in a certain way).
/status/1314316412249350151

If you are into Social Media and #Norway 🇳🇴, this is for you!
https://twitter.com/FjordVisjon/status/1296397163665268741

@c089 Yes, effectively this: Tests would be
Assert the the output does not include "Error event" but also more complex
state transition checks:
Assert that log output includes "CONNECTING" and is followed by "CONNECTED" -
I am looking for examples how to structure these tests good.

@c089 We have compile time switches (and run-time
configuration through IoT device shadow) to influence, e.g. if the device turns
on GPS, for how long it searches for GPS, if it starts a firmware update, etc.

So I can put it in a "demo" mode where it runs through a set of processes.

@c089 Yeah, I can do this for some higher level
components, e.g. the application, but this wont be possible for lower level
modules. Some of them are closed source, and 3rd party.

If you want me to speak at your conference, you better can explain why.

Otherwise it does not build trust into the way content is curated for your
event.

@WalterStephanie Preview.

@Stephan_Strange Naja, das sollte für
eine Fachkonferenz kein (zudem sehr subjektiver) Massstab sein...

Uhh, I discovered that Pandoc can generate PowerPoint files ... so right now I'm
hoping that I can put off finding a Windows PC until I'm finished with my slides
and only copy and paste stuff into our corporate master template at the very
end. https://medium.com/@stymied/what-slides-from-markdown-5239ed31e7ac

The --reference-doc template.pptx trick however did not work for our template.

@ConfBuddy
@dc7590 @unkonf Note
that this is from last year, for virtual conferences we see it's often much
easier for first timers to participate. That's why there is no VirtualConfBuddy.

10 days left to apply to our open positions in #Oulu 🇫🇮:

@lisacrispin
@NordicTweets Lisa, I am envious of the team
@OutSystems you started to work with ... I
think you can go wherever you want, every team will be lucky to have you!

@lisacrispin I guess the Donkey would not be
so happy about the rather cold weather in Oulu...

@VolkerGoebbels How?

@VolkerGoebbels Sounds like the true Azure
Portal experience. ;-)

@VolkerGoebbels Good options exist (like
https://vi.to/) ... so I guess this is a case of "not invented here" syndrome.

I mean, how BORING would my job be if I would know exactly what to do in
advance. https://twitter.com/ashleymcnamara/status/1314621856884768768

@VolkerGoebbels Yeah, Zoom with breakout
rooms is lacking a good chat / notes solution.

@agroebbe I'm talking about MY job. Not anybody
else's.

That's a valid question: Zara is one of the most agile clothing manufacturers,
so if they start stocking up on something it's a signal of real trend. Their
turnaround time is two weeks. https://t.co/fBt5hlei8j

@pati_gallardo The thing is, meetings have
a fixed configuration of people, which creates a fixed ad-hoc hierarchy. For
virtual meetings this never changes. Physical space provides multiple
opportunities for reconfiguration, and therefore create more opportunities for
everyone to speak up.

@pati_gallardo It's the diplomatic
backchannel that's hard to maintain in purely virtual discussions.

@Der_Pesse @c089
Also important to note is that there are roughly 100.000 jews living in Germany.
So their opinion will have little impact in a public opinion poll if
participants are distributed according to the german demographic.

@RidingWolf @c089
Are you fixed on NVIDIA? Because AMD's new GPU will also be out soon.

@c089 @RidingWolf
NVIDIA on Linux (using binaries) is really fine these days.

@c089 I wonder if another contributing factor to
reduced sponsoring effort is that bundlers are an obsolete technology.

@RidingWolf @c089
Don't go for an ITX with the RTX 3080, you need sufficient space for air cooling
it.

@c089 @dtanzer
@SamirTalwar Might be fine if they just
change it to "Horstentwickler".

@RidingWolf Which one?

(I'm interested because I am casually scheming to build a new desktop in 2021,
the current one is from 2012, my XPS13 from 2016)

@RidingWolf Watch out, not all 3080 fit this
case:

@tmclaughbos If you use console.log the
CloudWatch logs will contain the request ID for every line. So there is no need
to pass around a logger instance.

@tmclaughbos I would separate these concerns

Let the lambdas write logs using console.log (they can use
console.log(JSON.stringify(...)) to write JSON Log Events.

Then set up a Subscription Filter, to stream the log entries to Splunk:
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonCloudWatch/latest/logs/SubscriptionFilters.html

I know you are wondering ... yes it also runs DOOM:

@Argorak 2 Bit texture, I guess ...

@pati_gallardo Work with friends.

I managed to fix my favourite headsets plug! The microphone was dropping out and
soldering a new one fixed it!

@tmclaughbos If you need certain properties
in the logged JSON object (or message) provide a wrapper function around console
log that enforces teams to provide them.

@tmclaughbos So, you have your answer.

Final step was running PowerPoint on Linux: download Windows 10 developer VM
(https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/downloads/virtual-machines/)
... and install Office through http://portal.office.com/ using the Company

@tmclaughbos Sorry, but why wouldn't this
work?

Got a nice intro to doing TDD on embedded using Ztest
(@ZephyrIoT integrated unit test suite):
https://docs.zephyrproject.org/latest/guides/test/ztest.html

Even supports mocking!

@tmclaughbos In the approach I showed you,
there is not instance passed around.

import {logger} from '@acme/logger'

logger(...);

@tmclaughbos Ok, we are getting somewhere.
Previously you talked about the RequestID which is automatically logged in
Lambda.

I don't know a clean, robust way to solve this without passing a reference
around, because lambdas handle multiple requests.

@tmclaughbos However: I don't see why all
context needs to be logged all the time.

You can group all log messages by request ID, so the metadata that is captured
will be in those log messages.

@NadaOverbeeke Well, put it on the left

side.

@RidingWolf
@OptimumTechYT
@NadaOverbeeke Oh, it has a mesh on the
side, but if you but the feet under there it would be sufficient.

@RidingWolf
@OptimumTechYT
@NadaOverbeeke I am considering this setup
(with vertical mounted GPU and Watercooling at the bottom, but then turned on
the side (because the AIO should not be below the pump):

We recently learned that AWS IoT now requires SNI. But not really. tl;dr>
Devices connected to AWS IoT currently through MQTT and not using SNI won't be
affected and will keep working with AWS IoT.

@RidingWolf Why don't you a monitor arm, that
lift those up a little?

@RidingWolf Exactly the point why I would flip
the case on the side.

@RidingWolf My favorite right now is the
Define Meshify C (it's not as optimal in space, but that's not so critical for
me).

You could mount the case under the desk, though ...

@jrosaproenca Yes, as I said, EVIL!

I've finished my conversion to @GatsbyJS ...

it as a transparent responsive image proxy: during deployment images in the

in GitHub (Markdown), ...
/status/1313609545663614976

this improves the editing experience for me and provides an awesome combination
of having a vendor-independent source for the website content but with the power
of a headless (and now UI-less) CMS.

Having responsive images adds a great touch for visuals, and also keeps the
performance high.

@jaredwolff Yes, I have that, thinking about
soldering it on...

past for having backups in a business where we were using Drive:

@agroebbe I personally have anecdotal evidence

benefits for the entire software lifecycle. Which does not mean that different

@emsuiko Haha, no. The developers I look up to
all pick the companies they want to work for and avoid interacting with
recruiters or platforms.

Especially platforms are the worst way to find out if a company is a good match
for you.

@samlbckn @emsuiko I did not talk about the
interview. That would be the same.

@samlbckn @emsuiko I find out about whether a
company is a good place to work through word of mouth by talking to its
employees, meeting them at conferences, looking at what they share on Twitter,
on the companies GitHub account, in recorded talks, event sponsoring, ...

@samlbckn @emsuiko Platforms provide a very
filtered, polished and streamlined view onto a company, and focus mostly on
matching skills to job descriptions. And while this is nice way to filter
candidates, the match on a few keywords is an entirely random and will not tell
me if a job suits me.

"If your sites live on modern hosting that provides a CDN and supports HTTP/2,
you can drop the third-parties and should ship all resources yourself. Relying
on a third-party provides little value in 2020."

@type__error Kind of a bummer for
@skypackjs's Pika CDN.

A little note here: do not use the connectivity statistics in applications which
use the LwM2M carrier library. This library manages the collection of
connectivity statistics and will turn them on and off on its behalf.

If your application interferes with this statistics collection it will result in
incorrect measurements in the carrier's device management solution.

I want @auth0 but all configuration needs to be
maintainable in the applications repo. No angry fruit salad of UI to deal with.
This is part of the application, it needs to live alongside the code. Does this
exist?

@lxztlr Yeah, I am using Cognito very often, but
for this case we won't be using AWS and thus IAM so the value is quite limited,
especially given that Cognito is terribly complex, offers not easy
backup/takeout, ...

So, I am looking for the Netlify/Algolia of Authentication.

@maaretp It creates a clean history in the main
branch: https://github.com/coderbyheart/first-principles/issues/2

TIL: anyone can attach commits to repos they don't control. 🐞💣
https://twitter.com/lrvick/status/1320924488821690369

It does not show up directly in the source repo (and won't be included in a
checkout), but you can use it to trick somebody into believing a commit is
authentic.

@Argorak Yeah, but I could register a fake
account that looks just like yours, and sign the commit. So people would have to
compare PGP keys.

@PatrickHeneise
@auth0 Do you have an example somewhere?

@fhinkel But some locks down tomorrow.

The sun is already gone short after 1600. #trondheim 🇳🇴

I've now written the first #gherkin #bdd features for testing the
@bifravst firmware on real hardware:
https://github.com/bifravst/firmware/blob/d3903b83c5aa3f75acedcc79d7171c9786241c9f/features/RunFirmware.feature

I think that's a good way to express what should happen when the firmware is
running.

Here is another example of a feature:
https://github.com/bifravst/firmware/blob/d3903b83c5aa3f75acedcc79d7171c9786241c9f/features/CheckModemFirmware.feature

@fhinkel Like this?

@PatrickHeneise
@auth0 Use the Node.js API allows you to have the
secrets in environment variables:
https://github.com/distributeaid/auth0/blob/b52f536b061d868b971d8f5460fe4141615837cc/deploy.mjs

@PatrickHeneise
@auth0 Yes, looks promising so far.

This is the test platform that we use to run the
@bifravst firmware on real hardware for every
commit.

See
https://bifravst.gitbook.io/bifravst/cat-tracker-firmware/firmwarecontinuousintegration

The tests are expressed using a #BDD style, written in #Gherkin:
https://github.com/bifravst/firmware/pull/82/files#diff-8140b13bf416d834ea873f009052f8121e7080e3fb6a4b6d9f00b20adbdd6114

The test run looks like this: (blue lines are the ones matched from the device
log)

The implementation of the CI runner is also written in Node.js and runs on the
RaspberryPI: https://github.com/bifravst/firmware-ci

Here is how I did it:

Uh, $999 for an RX 6900 XT? Sweet!

.@Helsedir do you need help with that?

https://www.helsedirektoratet.no/statistikk/antall-innlagte-pasienter-pa-sykehus-med-pavist-covid-19

@pati_gallardo I think this is the more
relevant chart these days:
https://www.helsedirektoratet.no/statistikk/antall-innlagte-pasienter-pa-sykehus-med-pavist-covid-19

@pati_gallardo Yes, that's the downside. I
expect them to rise more, but for me this is a better measure of how the effect
of the pandemic. It can't be used to predict which measures to take today, it
would already be too late. The numbers in Germany could show what might happen
here.

Going to screenshare with the #AWS support later about this, this shows me that
the bug I am trying to pinpoint is not a simple fix on my end. Just computers,
being computers. /status/1319617362337910785

Pretty important point that Kristian Sæther is making in his
@NordicTweets webinar on how the #nRF9160
enables #cellularIoT asset tracking: sending data is a magnitude more power
expensive compared to computing on the device. Put more logic on the device!

@Ocramius @heroku
@giantswarm

@Ocramius @heroku
@giantswarm Yes, but isn't that what you asked
for? A managed k8s?

Option 1 (add $default route) did not improve the situation.

Now I am adding an additional route to the HTTP API after CloudFormation/CDK is
finished deploying:
https://github.com/bifravst/aws/commit/ff04fbb19a0a8edf9c6c1efc78da34aa2278ff18
... looks promising so far.

Scary stuff! https://twitter.com/benawad/status/1322178614213959686

@Jen_BMJ :/

@mattsches Zeitreise und so. Die Discovery ist
sicher nicht das einzige Schiff dass mit einem Batzen Dilithium ankommt.

Hei @ollispieps,
@gsaslis, @Poschi3
could you have a look at
https://github.com/softwarecrafters/website/issues/130 ? We are trying to get
all conferences featured on https://www.softwarecrafters.org/ to have a Code
of Conduct.

@mattsches Lt. Cmdr. Paul Stamets wars!

@Poschi3
@swe_camp Yes, thanks. I am trying to get to the
right people to make this happen.
