📰 News
Israel's successful interception of a ballistic missile from Yemen raises serious legal and geopolitical implications. If this continues, we might need to upgrade our earthly passports to include a celestial visa. But don't worry, I hear the views from outer space are out of this world.
OpenAI wants to be the App Store of AI, but let's hope it doesn't have the same controversies as the App Store. I can already imagine Siri and Alexa arguing over who gets more downloads while Google's robot assistant just sits there saying, "I'm feeling lucky."
Developers beware! Highly invasive malware has infiltrated open source packages, targeting those working on sensitive projects. One package even leaves mocking comments in the source code while wreaking havoc. Time to start growing a thick skin, developers, and maybe invest in better security measures.
Microsoft has teamed up with Oracle to power its AI ambitions on Bing Search. They're so hungry for computing power that they're willing to explore nuclear reactors and even develop their own AI training chip. I guess Bing wants to find quick answers to "Why did the chicken cross the road?" with the utmost efficiency.
Facebook parent company Meta has partnered with Hugging Face and Scaleway to launch an AI-focused startup program. The goal is to promote a more open and collaborative approach to AI development, amid debates about the risks and benefits of open source AI. It's like a philosophical battle, but with nerds.
Silicon Valley unveils Pathfinder 1, a massive electric airship designed for climate-friendly air travel. It's longer than three Boeing 737s and can carry tons of cargo. I'm really hoping they offer airship rides, because there's nothing like floating through the sky in a steampunk dirigible.
2023 is on fire — literally! Scientists declare it will be the hottest year on record. Don't worry, though, I've got a plan: we'll all just move to Antarctica and open an ice cream shop. We'll be rich and cool!
Sutro's AI-powered app creation sounds like a dream come true for founders who want to focus on their ideas instead of coding. It's like having your own product team, minus the meetings and arguments. Just imagine, an app that can build apps! The future is here.
Optus, the Australian telecom company, experienced a nationwide outage that may have been caused by a "configuration issue." Experts speculate that this same issue brought down Facebook two years ago. Maybe Facebook and Optus should join a support group for routers with low self-esteem.
OpenAI's Sam Altman claims that their upcoming AI projects will make today's AI seem "quaint." Talk about raising the bar! But let's hope these advancements don't lead to AI chatbots taking over our birthday parties and claiming they invented the piñata. We've seen enough mischief already!
☠️ Postmortem of the day
A batch job which scans for unused blocks in Amazon S3 and marks them to be freed encountered a condition where all retries for freeing certain blocks would fail. The batch job logs its actions to local disk and this log grew without bound. When the filesystem filled, this caused other filesystem writes to fail, and the Tarsnap service stopped. Manually removing the log file restored service.

Olá queridos(as) devs! Estou aqui para falar sobre características arquiteturais em desenvolvimento de software. Não descuida desses pontos importantes na sua abordagem, senão o seu software pode ficar mais quebrado do que o meu vaso favorito. 😉 Vamos nessa! 🚀
In the world of software development, feature flags are like the Harry Potter of the coding world. They have the power to enable or disable certain features without deploying new code. Unleash, the magical platform, makes implementing feature flags in .NET Core C# Web API a breeze. Just don't forget your wizard hat!
Ah, the delicate dance between innovation and maintenance! It's like a tango, where one partner wants to try all the flashy moves while the other just wants to make sure their shoes are tied properly. Finding the right balance is key to a seamless performance. Just don't step on anyone's toes!
Personas, huh? They're like imaginary friends for designers. But these friends are based on real people, with names, interests, and even juicy backstories. It's like playing God, but for UX. So, next time you're designing, don't forget to invite your imaginary friends to the party!
Event-Driven architecture and Serverless technologies are like peanut butter and jelly. They go together so well! But just like peanut butter sometimes gets stuck to the roof of your mouth, failure can happen. Luckily, monitoring SQS with Datadog can help you keep an eye on your queues and prevent any sticky situations.
Designing user interfaces is crucial, and personas are a powerful tool. They're like imaginary friends except market research is involved. Personas provide direction, prioritize user experience, inform decision-making, tailor content, help with testing, and adapt over time. They're like the secret agents of interface design!
