Could be, I don't have much experience with it, but so far it has worked every time without me doing anything special - I can check the status of the last sync attempt, which it does nightly on its own (or I can trigger it). The UX isn't great - all manipulation of the seconds hand, but other than that it has been flawless. This is in Germany - your mileage may clearly vary.

I recently bought my first not-super-cheap watch, and found out that all around the world there radio stations which broadcast the atomic clock time that a lot of clocks/watches listen to.

After setting the time zone (I guess this also changes the frequency that it listens on) it starts to sync itself using that signal. It is also solar-charging - so this basically means that I never have to touch it. Although it's an analog watch, because of this sync, it correctly handles DST, the date window (including leap year) - basically I never have to touch it again until it breaks . All without bluetooth or internet connection - pretty cool I think.

Casio Oceanus t200 for anyone that cares.

A JS image pixelator: https://kremerman.me/pixelate/

Can be used to resize images, but the main purpose was pixelation for a game I was making.

How is this comment in any way relevant to the article or this discussion? Does Codeberg provide static analysis for CVE verification?

I don’t let Claude touch git at all, unless I need it to specifically review the log - which is rare. I commit manually often (and fix up the history later) - this allows me to go reasonably fast without worrying too much about destructive tool use.

Agree! It is also deeply concerning that at the last KubeCon, not a single pod was represented. Billions OOMKilled, with no end in sight.

They clearly had enough access to capture and spot-check some of this data against previous leaks. The fact that this is not mentioned doesn’t inspire much faith in this being something new and newsworthy.

We have, and I won’t lie, it’s kinda a pain. The reality we discovered is that async flows are second-class citizens in otel tracing.

We essentially propagate the context manually between APIs and lambdas, through HTTP headers, SNS/SQS and even storage. We also ended up pulling Tempo’s Parquet files (we’re self-hosting the grafana stack) into Redash to be able to do real analysis. We got a lot of great insights and were able to do a lot of tuning that would have been impossible otherwise, but it was quite an investment. Would love to know if there is anything out there that would have made this less painful.

Agree - playing Path of Exile 2 at the moment. I think they are co-located with the Geforce Now servers for my region (Frankfurt) as I have 1ms ping from Nvidia->PoE. 20ms from my house to Nvidia, so I’m not sure my experience is much different from what one would get with a gaming rig.

And if you do the math on what one would cost - by the time the subscription cost catches up, it’s time to upgrade the rig.

To be fair, the sub-prime lending crisis had its roots firmly in Clinton-era repeal of Glass-Steagal, so it’s not all so easy.

No particular love for the Republican Party, but it’s a problem created by the Democrats, which they then patched with the inferior Frank-Dodd. Plenty of stupidity to go around, I would say.

Give them time, it’s only been 11 hours. Now I just want to hear about the trip back to the desk

Yes you are right that this is nonsense. They have clearly already been doing this for years on the backend at a minimum to power the Google Photos search functionality, and who knows what else.
