I made something very similar, in my spare time, last week. I didn't need $60m for it. https://github.com/re-cinq/claudit What's amusing is that I specifically made a comedy license for it, because I thought

Yes. Admittedly they both work in bars/breweries. It'd be interesting to see the experience of folks in continental Europe, where I gather wine with meals is much more commonplace.

It's worth pointing out that AWS does now support U2F, which isn't reflected in the posts.

Apologies - I updated the post today to include the commit signing, and didn't think about the date of the parent post.

I'm a very strong Concourse proponent. We've been using it exclusively for three years, and it's better than anything we've experienced that our customers use (I run a consultancy). We run Concourse London User Group, an

It also makes things more comfortable - you can stretch and change position on long drives. In three hours of motorway driving on Sunday, I was only driving for about three minutes - the rest was Autopilot.

I drove from the UK to Ålesund, Norway and back in a Model X, which was about 1,300 miles in each direction. Did it on the way home with two kids in the back. Long trips in a Tesla are totally doable.

Estimates seem to be a common topic in replies. If you can accurately estimate how long a software task will take, you should have already made a reusable component or automation to generate that code. Estimates are meaningless. I've s

Indeed, and the Scrum-Industrial Complex has vested interests in codifying a certain format that it can sell.

If you're getting burnout doing agile, you're doing agile wrong. Don't do sprints. Have a continuous backlog. Don't do overtime. Don't make estimates. Always do the simplest thing. Only ever do the most important th

This isn't strictly true - Teslas have the ability to perform emergency stops if they detect something in front of them. I don't believe that they're likely to pick up something driving straight at them, as it's not some

I saw these folks at AfrotechFest[1] in London last year, which one of my colleagues helped organise, talking about their entrepreneurial experience. Really great to see them getting mainstream media coverage, and I wish them all the best.

I'd highly recommend Arieh Ben-Naim's books on entropy for anyone looking for more on this point. TLDR he makes the argument that entropy is a measure of the probability of probability distributions.

Wow, it takes something to make Philips Hue look cheap. I'll stick to those, which I can fill several rooms with for the same price.

Wow. 1,500C to -150C in 1/100th of a second sounds pretty remarkable. Any idea how that's achieved?

Yeah, accept those writes and favour availability. Customer was a wealth management company. Imagine a customer has £100 in their account. System partitions. Customer withdraws £70, hitting one DC. Customer then hits the second DC, this tim

Edit - yep, the event producer manages and increments the vector clock. --- I've not really used Kafka, so couldn't comment on that. I did some work for a customer that involved multi-DC microservices with isolated databases (ie o

I think this misses the main one - append vector clocks because your events will inevitably turn up out of sequence at some point.

It's no more a distraction than opening a drink, taking a swig of said drink, or having to look around to see why the kids are crying in the back of the car. Let's not suggest that Autopilot is safe completely unsupervised, and le

It's definitely a distraction from the road, but you can see the road whilst typing away with one hand.

I've got a Model X, and the touchscreen is only dangerous when using the on-screen keyboard. If I need to type something whilst driving, I engage Autopilot. There is voice recognition for the phone connectivity and Spotify, but I rarel

The big missing piece is not LIDAR, but causal reasoning. Autopilot and similar 'AI' cannot reason; it doesn't have a mental model to ponder 'what if' and can't use counter-factuals to ponder what would happen
