tl;Dr if you want to truly appreciate what it takes to build and operate a planet scale architecture like Google, try building even the smallest of physical emulations and, well ... it's a lot.

Three weeks after Pearl Harbor, no one was calling for a ceasefire. Three weeks after 9/11, no one was calling for a ceasefire. Three weeks after the worst mass murder of Jews since the Holocaust, Hamas continues to hold 220 hostages and fire rockets into Israel. No ceasefire.

We’re devastated. Our hearts are broken. But we persevere. Am Yisrael Chai.

This. Sadly as true today, if not more so, than the day @realbassemeid created and posted this video. Our world needs more @realbassemeid 🩷
Two years later, everything I said in this interview is still true. Hamas has not achieved anything on behalf of the Palestinian people β€” it simply holds Palestinians hostage while promoting terror. #FreeGazaFromHamas

My commitment is that I will be back to my normal, sarky, dry humoured good self at some point in the future. Although I cannot make forward looking statements, of course. So, until then ... open.spotify.com/track/3ix6K…

And, as I was in the midst of doing something I love to try and recentre my mind ... yeah, little bit of coding! ... the Tidal algo didn't disappoint and this song came on unexpectedly and you know what? Lyrics are pretty amazing, and really hit what I'm feeling at the mo.

This is with complete knowledge and understanding of just how privileged I am as a Googler specifically and working in tech / FAANG more generally. I get it. There are so many others who have it much _much_ worse than we do / will. Just feels like something died this week. /end

Still working to scratch the itch I had earlier this week with some code ... and now spinning up some supporting infra (oy, why is _always_ DNS?!) but with Shabbat just hours away, there's only one playlist for it methinks. open.spotify.com/playlist/20…

Had an idea and an itch I had to scratch with some code, and now ... we're down the rabbit hole. Looks like today will mostly be all things Chemical Brothers. tidal.com/browse/playlist/d8…

Also, given Golang Python TF ... and mebbe a little TS ... I didn't really appreciate why @KevinHoffman loved / loves Rust so much but, after having a peek at Cosmic from @system76 and related UI bits and bobs ... I get it now.

Imma also go out on a limb and say that, whilst mucking about with @cloudron_io for just ~24h, they are missing a huuuuuuge trick not having support for ARM64. Their stack is crazy easy to use (yeah, okay ... stack == script library, but still) and ARM ecosystem is growing.
TIL writing documentation whilst listening to RATM leads to ... interesting ... results. Productivity and GASL seem to be inversely proportionate at very least. πŸ˜‚

Quite cross: "Honestly, it's fine" Very cross: "Seriously, don't worry about it" Bloody livid: "Look, just forget it"

How awesome to see my mate @gusthema get to ask @xkcd a question at today's talk! πŸ€“
TIL learning and using Kubernetes? Much easier than you might imagine, and tools like MicroK8s make things even easier. The _really_ difficult bit? Managing storage with k8s.
