that… is unlikely… they took 7 years to migrate TO AWS, and the last i heard they completed a massive migration to IPv6 on AWS in 2021… it’d take them a massive amount of engineering and time to migrate off AWS
also it’d be massive news… netflix is basically THE number 1 AWS “success” story
oooh i have that exact espresso machine (except they’ve mirrored it)! it’s a rancilio silivia… i use fedora and debian with a pinch of al2
blockchain as a core technology isn’t user-friendly… it should be hidden, and you’ll never know when it’s doing interesting things. it was never going to revolutionise the world, but that doesn’t invalidate its usefulness in niche situations
… it shouldn’t be used for 95% of the garbage people have built with it - and for NFTs that’s more like 99%
absolutely this

I’m from Australia and I’ve started calling all groups of people yall because it’s gender neutral… very unaustralian term, and I love so much the irony of iconic southern terms being used to support trans activism
And any partner of mine in that situation would be like cool… 3some? And everyone has fun
the way people use NFTs with art are certainly absurd, but even the core technology of NFTs is actually excellent
a gift, or a test?
i will never understand the inability for people not to have amazing sex with their friends
the various github-supplied actions are good example:
https://github.com/actions/setup-python
the action.yml here is the metadata for an action (and you invoke this action by simply referencing actions/setup-python - perhaps with a sha or tag or something to pin it - and the runner clones and runs it, making custom actions simply code with no build process etc necessary which is very nice to not have to bootstrap your build process with a build process eg docker build)
see the “runs” section there - it invokes node20 to run the action, and specifies some code to run to cleanup
in the src here we can see what i was mentioning as well about having bi-directional comms with the CI system
https://github.com/actions/setup-python/blob/main/src/setup-python.ts
line 54 & 55 we have core.getInput and core.getMultiLineInput, 59 we have core.warning (so logs are formatted and filterable etc - these messages also show up in the build summary; similarly line 100 we have core.startGroup), 154 is core.setFailed so you get proper failure reasons rather than “the last line of stderr”
now, none of this is specific to running in a real language - in fact i believe all this information is communicated over stdout or stderr - but the ease of simply creating a repo with code in it, and having that as a reusable CI step without worrying about docker container hosting, and having that able to have semantic meaning for its inputs and outputs (and proper reliable escaping of the special CI communication prefixes) is something that kinda doesn’t exist outside of this style system
Hmmm I mean I guess we’re a very big country for our population so maybe the mining and interstate rail overwhelm the metro and Sydney-Melbourne networks… I’m just surprised it’s by more than 80%
certainly not saying you’re wrong, but the base load problem is still a problem afaik… storage solves some of it, but i think storage isn’t a full solution - we’d still need some other 24/7 generation capacity
