And started their career as a sysadmin. I don't know Dana at all, but some of the best kernel and networking people I've met got their start as sysadmins.
Somewhat unrelated, but the number of times I have invoked Ableton as a metaphor of challenging the status quo is quite high. I was a Cubase user before Ableton showed up and completely upended the DAW world. And they've kept going.
This is just what I've been looking for. I never warmed to Max for Live for mods. But the extensions SDK I can get behind.
Saw him play many times across multiple genres across 3+ decades from straight up classical to world music to electronica/tablatronics. Unfortunately never got to see him perform with John McLaughlin. He must have been 68 the last time I saw him live but still as good as ever. RIP!
Kris and I got to know each other a bit over the years. I still remember our first meeting vividly. We met for dinner at a Mexican restaurant in Capitol Hill and spent the evening talking containers, Linux, Kubernetes, and Open Source. This is a tough loss. I will take small in the fact that it happened doing the thing she loved.
I've had a Tesla (Model S) since early 2020 and once the initial allure wore offI've missed driving a BMW and once the i5 is here I'll be backing to driving BMW. The supercharger network is by far the reason I've stuck with the Tesla this long, but there's enough options now. The build quality, the drive quality, service quality, all of it is subpar. The Model 3 is a zippy car but the lack of an instrument cluster is a deal breaker for me.
Tesla deserve all the credit for getting everyone else to wake up. But they are so so at making a car I actually want to drive.
I used to use a phone as my backup camera when I was out doing bird photography. After a while I gave up. In variable light and high dynamic range conditions phones just don’t hold up (they do a better job with video). If you’re taking snapshots, nothing better than a phone.
I sold all my DSLRs over the past 18 months and jumped into the deep end. The lens systems are better, the cameras are better. I love having a histogram in the viewfinder. There's very little reason and battery life has never been an issue (it is for video but that's a different story).
The Cloud Control API is an API to the resource model. It unlocks the ability for AWS teams to contribute to the resource model without having to worry about the rest of what Cloudformation does. As a service owner interested in contributing to other systems like TF and Pulumi, now I just have to contribute to one thing. In the medium/long term it's going to be a lot more efficient way to evolve how we all use AWS resources in our favorite Infrastructure-as-code systems.

Haven't looked in any detail, but as I clicked around the thing that jumped out at me was how many in the "lower comp, higher returns" category were from healthcare/biotech. Wonder if there is a way to slice and dice by industry/segement?
I suspect that’s what you meant but just for clarity, Instance storage does persist for reboots (which is effectively an OS reboot), but not if you stop/start (or terminate) the instance.
