Used the toilet bucket to bail out gaga ball for 8th grade camp. Looks like I'd also be good with a flame thrower with that form.

There is an uncertain future of llrt with Richard Davison leaving AWS for Vercel. The request for a new release going unresponded from a contributor has a bit of foreboding: github.com/awslabs/llrt...

github.com

Is there a release plan for the next version? · Issue #1724 · awslabs/llrt

Countless features have been added and improvements made since the last release. Should we start considering the release of the next version (0.9.0-beta?) soon?

Found a dock float in the middle of the lake this morning. Redneck paddleboarding ensued.

These long drop downs have always bothered me, especially on mobile where there often is no type-ahead find. I secretly wish they'd make date pickers for birth year default to something sane like 20 years ago instead of the current year too!

Glad you enjoyed it, happy to show you where the blackberries are or let you borrow a kayak or paddleboard for the lakes next time you're out.

One of the skills I've honed over the years is the ability to select the best fruit. If I serve you a fruit salad, the cantaloupe will have been slapped and it won't taste like cucumber. cooking.nytimes.com/article/how-...

It’s not a myth: You really do need to slap them and listen carefully.

My doorbell camera kept saying screaming was heard every time I came home, so I oiled the door hinge. 😅

1. Take the ferry to Bainbridge and stand on the deck, best cheap way ($12) to see the city skyline and puget sound. You don't need to spend time in Bainbridge and can get right back on. 2. Eat some blackberries, you probably need to get out of the city a bit but they're in season and everywhere.

Lambda still pulls the code from S3 so it shouldn't improve cold starts. This article benchmarks it, but only uses Init Duration: dev.to/aws-builders... You'd need to measure E2E client time to see any impact, but I suspect it is net zero. speedrun.nobackspacecrew.com/blog/2024/02...

In the picture: a caricature of the professor, the batmobile, mafia man (a character in the video game I was making), the joker (the Jim Carrey one), a covered wagon, my watch (the class was 11-12, hands drawn at 11:25, digital drawn at 11:35) and a bucket (maybe storage related).

At @cascadiajs.com 2026, I overheard some people talking about Iowa. Turns out they also went to Iowa State University. Although they graduated 15+ years after me, they asked if I'd had Gadia, the database structures professor who wrote his own book. Yes, and here's the doodles I drew on his book.

Anyone else notice improvements to log ingestion speed with lambda and CloudWatch dashboards? It used to be up to a minute before my logs were visible in a dashboard, but now it seems almost real-time.

This swag cup may be the worst I've ever used. Holding the rolled handle is awkward enough, but the mouth feel of the rolled lip on the rim is even more immediately no. It will be used to hold my jankiest pens.

The serving size is 3/4 of a pickle. A wholly unreasonable unit. Presumably to have the calories round down to 0.

I'm a fan of this surrounding logs feature in the new CloudWatch Logs Analytics console.

I used Adobe Golive at work in that era, but Dreamweaver at home. Time to unwrap that bad boy and do some table based layouts.

Submitted a PR to the lambda-perf repository to enable visualization of performance trends over time. For example, coldstarts for llrt on arm/.zip/512MB have gotten slower. See more here: github.com/maxday/lambd...

With that said, if snowflake is what your rsus are, I personally would not be holding much. It's far too volatile.

Way back I wrote an Alexa skill to tell me if it was recycling week. It effectively did a n%2===0 on the week of the year. After 8 years of node updates I can confirm it's faster and easier to just look out the window and see if my neighbors' bins are out.

This is a good bit, but yearns for some workshopping. Backstory, pointing at it with a pointer and feigned shock at the price are critical. I found this on a floppy disc labeled trumpet winsock near my grandfather's Tandy. Let's flip it over and view source here. OHH MY GOODNESS.

It's odd that both of these features aren't part of identity center. It's a similar workflow to give access to a permission set as it is to approve what someone can run.
