Watching Elon speak about Optimus' potential I realize that Tesla invests in
building a new product without knowing the market. They create the market by
making the solution available. That seems to be an extremely risky strategy.
https://youtu.be/537cbxoFtOs

They are betting on the extremely dystopian idea that in just a few years
technology must exist that is better at physical tasks than humans, like
driving, manufacturing, meal preparation, house chores.

It feels like they are preparing for a world where the rich can isolate
themselves more and more. And (in Musk celebrating his team burning the midnight
oil) have unlimited access to human-level labor. Must be super weird to work at
Tesla.

@TomasSin4 Yes, sure, in theory. My point was
that they build products not because there is clear demand today, but because
they bet on the demand materializing once they show the robot to be a feasible
option to replace existing solutions.

@TomasSin4 I don't question whether there is
demand for optimization. That is obviously always there. But Tesla bets that
they can build something that is better than humans AND that it is accepted as a
replacement for them. And I think that is a very bold bet.

@raphaelfyi I am expecting him to announce
that they are soon building new roads. Only Teslas are allowed to drive there.
Only Robots as passengers.

@lsmith I also read that a while ago EM said that
this event is mostly geared towards attracting new talent, and for that showing
outlandish moonshots might actually work well.

@smngrtzn
@gazebo_c
@afilina Talk to
@mayflowergmbh. They have great experience
with PHP and might be able to show you why it might be more effective to improve
what you have instead of rewriting. But I trust they are professional enough to
not be too PHP biased.

Two Germans are bringing the German baking goods to Norway:
https://handelskammer.blog/mitgliederstory-das-erfolgsrezept-der-backstube/ /
https://www.backstube.no/

The store in Trondheim is packed today, so it seems they have found a good
market fit. It looks unfinished because the landlord is behind in renovations.

@Churchkey90 Yeah, the only good bakery we go
to occasionally is Godt Brødt. But we usually bake ourselves.

Wow, that should be on @internetofshit...

@Niklas_L Is the system used by human users?

@Niklas_L Not necessarily. If it's processing
sensor data, or there is otherwise no relation between people and data processed
by the system, access is fine. Otherwise, not.

@Niklas_L Let's say you put sensors in a green
house. These sensors measure environment data. That is not related to human
interaction.

@Niklas_L Maybe, but then there would be no user
information in the system to identify that person, and correlate that data.

@Niklas_L In that case, no.

@Niklas_L That's O.K. because needs based access
to PII is allowed. But all access (commands, queries) must be monitored, and
logged. Ideally data gets anonymized, if that's reasonable.

@Niklas_L The whole point is that access to PII
must be limited to a time when it is absolutely necessary, and then revoked
immediately. If that's not possible (because of on-call rotation), all access to
production systems must go through Gateway that monitor all traffic
(keyloggers).

@Niklas_L You can't give everyone in the company
blanket access.

@Niklas_L The key word in there was "direct".
That implies for me unrestricted.

@preeformance
@codergirl1991
@borderless_dev That's amazing feedback!

This is great! @microverseinc has a program

@raae
@NordicTweets Not really, in Northern
Germany there is Franzbrötchen, but it's not that common to find a Bakery that
has a "Zimtschnecke" (that is the German term).

Arrived in the rainy Oppdal to run a one-day open-space with one of our teams
@NordicTweets.

@raae
@NordicTweets But you should go to one of
the bakeries and buy Christstollen!

https://maps.app.goo.gl/T9wxWVtWb4T6mrdL7

@fquednau
@NordicTweets Yes, much more yellow compared
to Trondheim, but we are also higher up here.

The free poster pack from
https://shop.theliberators.com/products/liberating-structures-poster-package
also has a nice OpenSpace poster!

The dinner venue!

@bohlenlabs
@gazebo_c I guess this is one for
@Maaikees

They managed to fill the schedule nicely for a 40 people OpenSpace! And this is
just for the session before lunch. Because it's a one-day event I've decided to
have a second marketplace after lunch.

Also, nice coffee board, including a soft-ice machine!

Such a fantastic sponsoring by my employer! Really proud that we are able to do
this! https://twitter.com/microbit_edu/status/1575833013031555072

The XPS 13 Plus' Touchpad is such a piece of shit to work with, I caved in and
had to get an external mouse. 😖

Lunch also has a lot of vegetarian options! Not the norm for Hotels in Norway...

... and now it completely stopped registering clicks. Mouse position is updated,
though. And yes, the external mouse is not connected.

@RidingWolf I think I've seen other report
issues with the new Trackpad as well. There is also a new non-PLUS version,
maybe that is an option. Today, I'd consider the new MacBook Air M2.

@miskaknapek
@dgoodlad I actually like to use a mouse. It's
just annoying to have to connect it for some quick tasks...

Here you go @DellCares no click registering at
all with XPS 13 PLUS.

I also found a nice session to participate, this one is about fostering an
internal innovation culture.

@laurencurrie
@gazebo_c Modeling the behavior you are asking
for.

@aahunsberger Sending some good waves. Hope
they help!

DELL is sending a technician to fix it.

@Bigbamboo361 That's the Logitech M330. I
picked it because it was available in the small town I am currently in. But it
performs nicely and is small enough to pack in the laptop back, but works well
with my big hands. The silent clicks are actually cool!

@Bigbamboo361 Unfortunately no USB-C dongle,
so I have to use an adapter.

Trainstations in #Norway are so cute! 🇳🇴

Inside:

Dang, I just discovered that AWS CDK creates a role for a REST API with the
AmazonAPIGatewayPushToCloudWatchLogs policy, but it never cleans it up when the
stack is destroyed. That's why today I could not created new stacks on the CI
account.

Here is the problem: the deletion of the role is skipped.

That's in line with the stack template, however this is automatically created by
CDK, so not controlled by the author.

And here is the reason: it's a bug-feature in AWS API Gateway:

I'm getting feedback from attendees from the OpenSpace I facilitated yesterday

when I use my paid support plan to tell them about this issue...

@jesslynnrose
@dtanzer Diversity, working on open-source
software, working from anywhere I want, company is building something useful not
just wants people to consume more, leadership is technical, career path for ppl
that do not want to manage. I think the above are not surprising, but not a
standard.

So, the technician is here and has now spent around an hour already replacing
the defective touchpad.

@martinjuhasz That is the normal DELL

50% fixed! Left click works, Right click does not.

@pati_gallardo I teach developers where to
put credentials safely, and if I write code that needs credentials provide clear
instructions how to store them. That's the tool. I know that some people use
pre-commit hooks, that scan for credentials,

@pati_gallardo but this can be tricky to
not miss previously unknown key formats.

Replacement part is delayed. Seems this happens so often, that they ran out of
touchpads.

If you are like me and love the way physical whiteboards help you to structure
problems, what do you use to get your handwritten notes into a digital one, like
Miro?

@md42 Color is a must, so that rules out eInk for
now. We had a Remarkable 1 for a while, so it's great but usability is very
limited for me (I typically use 3-4 colors in a drawing).

Removing them ...

Here it is. 4 panels with 4 sct2024cssg doe00566 ICs each and the first panel
where the power and buttons are connected has a GODX1S2 KL2209.

The GODX1S2 seems like a custom IC.

... that controls the 16 SCT2024 (which each have 16 channels), so this means a
total of 256 LEDs.

@martinjuhasz
@NordicTweets Yes, that's the idea. I just
don't know how. But I hope some of my colleagues can help.

I had a great introduction call today with

And after that we talked about people like me can do for the initiative. We
discussed this and there should be a needs list soon. There is need for hardware

We also discussed mentoring ...

I was totally blown away by the effort they put in the program, and will keep
you updated on how this initiative can be supported!

@martinjuhasz

@ashleymarinep "Schellekloppe", which is

for being able to snatch you off the market!

@KrebsKatja
@ashleymarinep I'd say this is a small

the bells. The door-bell-gnome...

@LeaRosema Klar, wenn das nette Leute waren ...

@mortzu Es gibt sehr abgelegene

@raae Since you can unfollow/follow multiple times,
I'd model this using events unfollowed -> followed followed -> unfollowed
and record these events. Your current list of followers (or at any given time in
the past) is then an aggregation of these events until now (or given timestamp)

That's a good question! We know that 100% code coverage should not be the goal.
We want to include the code paths that are not straightforward to understand, so
unit test would provide documentation. Also good if they are prone to mistakes,
when the code code is complex.
https://twitter.com/guna_lv/status/1582367410295750659

We also want use unit tests to document to assumptions / limitations of the
solution that was developed.

I am mostly an outside-in-TDD fan, write code using wishful thinking, and
surround that with failing tests, then write the implementation. That way you
only write the tests you need to ensure your intentions are correctly
implemented.

Oh, that's great. I have that quite often!

ETA for the part is now 2022-10-29. It's unclear however, where the part will be
at that time.

@DarthB86 s/minf/mind/

I believe that staffing an IT department that provided a service with 99.9%
availability (which is what ES offers), requires at least a team of three full
time engineers (because bus factor, vacation, sickness, on call). That's at
least USD 300,000 per year.

@vicbergquist Not many.
@confrere_video for example.

@Niklas_L Yes, I'm really a big fan of the AWS
variant of that
(https://docs.aws.amazon.com/step-functions/latest/dg/welcome.html) which
allows me to build complex workflows through declaration and have the code focus
on the implementation. Because all flow control is outside of the source code it
becomes much more flexible.

@hikhvar
@Niklas_L The workflow (if/else, error handling,
branching, parallelism) is now declaration (written in YAML, or CDK):
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/step-functions/latest/dg/welcome.html#application
With implementation I mean source code that you author (e.g. data conversion,
fetching data from third-party services). You test via e2e tests.

@Niklas_L
@hikhvar I don't see where temporal is different:
https://docs.temporal.io/application-development/foundations#develop-workflows
... there you also express workflows in code. YAML is just a way to express it
in a language-neutral form for the underlying execution engine.

@Niklas_L
@hikhvar You can also test your workflow
execution using mocked integrations:
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/step-functions/latest/dg/sfn-local-test-sm-exec.html
if this is your preferred way to test it.

@m4nl5r @DarthB86
I've now listened to the podcast. They do have a 10 person Ops team already.
They predict metal server lifetime of 7+ years. They have enough cash to upfront
cost for hardware now. Price for hardware went significantly down.

@m4nl5r @DarthB86
Complexity of running services in cloud is much more complex for them compare to
running it on prem. They have very predictable load patterns, no need for
scalability cloud offers. Paying 500k gets them no good support at AWS, but
amazing support at their datacenter.

@m4nl5r @DarthB86
They don't want monopolies to run the cloud. Cloud is also not inherently more
secure, or needs less management. Reiterates that cloud is expensive when you
have a long-term strategy, and too centralized.

@Soisco Ah, nice. I added HA to a React project
recently, would love to see a recording of this talk!

So, today a DELL service partner replaced the touch pad a second time. And it
still didn't work. The technician also couldn't make it work at first (like the
technician two weeks ago). However as they were sliding closer to the edge, it
suddenly started to work!

It seems that the newer touch pad models for the XPS 13 Plus massively narrowed
down the right click area. So I investigated. Here is a video recording, that
shows how ridiculously small the are is.

The best part is however ... while recording the video and lighting up the touch
pad properly, I noticed that the technician made a mistake when re-installing
the keyboard. The area around the enter key is now elevated around 1 mm and
touches the screen when closed.

I am #leavingTwitter, you can follow me on https://chaos.social/@coderbyheart

It will not be easy but in my experience we can always get used to a new way to
connect to people. And it might even open up entirely new connections.

I plan to publish my Twitter archive on my homepage, so it's not lost and can be
accessed anonymously.

@atyborska93
@olafurw Here you go:

@alex_schl And I'll miss seeing your always
uplifting timeline. :/

@ron_werner
@balajisriniv Because a fascist, right wing
megalomaniac controls this site now. Thank you for the reminder! I'll propose
something :-)

@malk_zameth Yes, likewise! It will suck, but
I am interested to see how it effects me. How much influence can or should a
tool have on me?

@fishouthebox Yes, sure! I am on LinkedIn,
but I use it mostly for business and recruiting content, much less personal and
frequent than what I post on Twitter: https://www.linkedin.com/in/markustacker

@aleschmidx Yes, like Twitter.

@maaretp
@malk_zameth But it's also a tool that
filters access to people, so it definitely has an influence on who I can reach
here.

@charlesv It's run by people from the CCC
universe. I trust them to have the technical expertise to run an instance, no
commercial interests (it's funded by donations
https://blog.chaos.social/2020/01/26/sparschwein-bericht-2020.html#finanzen)
and they have rules I agree with and trust that they are enforced.

@charlesv DM!
