Interesting. I am working on a project to integrate access management to iceberg/parquet files for sagemaker. Controlling what users logged into sagemaker studio have access to in s3. It’s fine using static policies for mvp, but eventu

Does anyone know how access control works to the underlying s3 objects? I didn’t see anything regarding grants in the docs.

The Napier Deltic has a very distinctive sound. You can hear it in locomotive form on youtube. If you are into that sort of thing there are some really good videos on the Rolls Royce Crecy engine as well.

Sounds like your homelab became too similar to a Fortune 500 IT job.

I think they have also done studies in rodents that show pm2.5 diesel particulate decreases insulin sensitivity.

If advertising didn’t work to drive consumption no business would ever spend a dime on it. When your product has addictive qualities advertising absolutely increases the number of people that get hooked. This is something that was well unde

I don’t have an overly paternalistic view of the government. I’m rather libertarian in that regard. But is it too much to ask that we place some guardrails on things that are know to have trouble with? Smoking, drinking, gambling, etc. I ce

It’s expensive and the “design” of the services, if you could call it that, is such that you are forced to pay a lot, or play a lot of games to get around it. If you are going to spend your engineering time working around their ridiculous p

Having a distinctive style is also going to become increasingly rare in the age of LLMs. I see it with people at work already. They have no style. They learn very little. They get something to work but have no ability to discern whether it

In the US it is very easy to test your vitamin D levels. I recently had mine done and was just below normal range. Started supplementing and will test again in 6 months.

They have certainly tried to move the goalposts on this.

I do something similar. I create a bare repo on my dropbox folder or nas mount. Then checkout from bare repo file path to some place where I will be doing all the work.

CICS and HATS are perhaps the most annoying pieces of technology I’ve ever encountered.

If we could get circa 2010 Google back people would not waste nearly as much time with “AI”.

At around the age of two my son became totally obsessed with construction equipment. We would pull over and let him watch excavators and skid steers work at local job sites. Luckily there are some good youtube channels that cater to this wh

I agree 100% on the added cost and complexity. I think a lot of that gets masked by the boilerplate that makes it so easy to get started. Then they have their hooks in you and 6 months or a year later you are scratching your head and hiring

I don't know what point you are trying to make. One person's "abusive and toxic work environment" is another's "results driven organization". If you find yourself in a role that doesn't fit you, or yo

That presumes you know all secrets ahead of time. A risk in and of itself. But from a practical point of view you will never know all secrets, because they are generated constantly in real time.

Tooling goes way beyond the editor/IDE. Eclipse is a very good free option. As is IntelliJ CE. I personally have the all products pack and use the ultimate version. Beyond the IDE you also have to consider the build tools, package mana

I’ve worked in Java for over 20 years. Being the “lingua franca” of the enterprise is its biggest strength IMO, but it is also perplexing to me that it was able to do that in the first place. The language itself is not bad. The tooling arou

This is basically code for only wanting to hire young people with little or no commitments outside of work. As a bonus they usually undervalue themselves.

If you work at a real enterprise that actually takes security seriously I can assure you a large portion of it is not theater. You will find this out when they come knocking and point out something boneheaded that happened on your watch. I

The only thing it’s upending is sane engineering practices in my experience. I just reviewed a python flask app which was basically “vibe coded” by a couple people speed running a checklist of features. I open up the auth.py file to find it

What is the use case for this? Their cloud gateways are very affordable. Aside from the academic aspects of it I don’t see why I would want to run a home brew version of their cloud gateway.

I am highly sympathetic to all impacted. It’s devastating. The rhetoric around cost cutting is something I can’t figure out how to deal with. The media makes it sound like the sky is falling with every cut. But having worked in enormous org

Agent mode in RubyMine which I think is using a recent version of sonnet. I tried starting a new agent conversation but it was still off quite a bit. For me my interest in finessing the LLM runs out pretty quickly, especially if I see it mo

Same. I had some idea that I wanted to build a basic sinatra webapp with a couple features. First version was pretty good. Then I asked it to use tailwind for the css. Again pretty good. Then I said I wanted to use htmx to load content dyna
