hm, should I post just a bit more often? 🤔

Posting will continue until morale improves. + AWS is down and PagerDuty is dead.

Nice visualization

Sadly, neither ChatGPT nor Claude can handle converting a list of 12 hex colors to RGB properly. They do it but mess up the order, so I still have to check everything by hand. Meh.

Daaaamn, that's smart.

> copy and pasta are simple wrappers around system clipboard managers, like pbcopy on macOS and xclip on Linux. I use these all the time.

# High level examplesrun_some_command | copy
pasta > file_from_my_clipboard.txt

# Copy a file's contents
copy < file.txt

# Open a file path from your clipboard
vim "$(pasta)"

# Decode some base64 from the clipboard
pasta | base64 --decode

A gRPC riddle.

We've well-known Timestamp defined here https://buf.build/protocolbuffers/wellknowntypes/file/main:google/protobuf/timestamp.proto#L133

Which then generates to https://github.com/protocolbuffers/protobuf-go/blob/master/types/known/timestamppb/timestamp.pb.go#L173

Now the question: how does protoc (or some other magic) generates this validation? https://github.com/protocolbuffers/protobuf-go/blob/master/types/known/timestamppb/timestamp.pb.go#L207 (especially [0, 999_999_999] range) ?

Even funnier: the latest commit says "
types: regenerate using latest protobuf v33 release" (3d ago), so it does this automatically, huh ?

> What is surprising is that a classic Time-of-check-time-of-use (TOCTOU) bug was latent in their system until Monday. Call me naive, but I thought AWS, an organization running a service that averages 100 million RPS, would have flushed out TOCTOU bugs from their critical services.

hah

does anyone even look at such tables??

Infinite huge kudos to https://blskyl.ink/ldez.dev for fixing a veeeeery tricky case! https://github.com/go-critic/go-critic/pull/1516

I freaking love Google's open source. Just a pure engineering beauty, ass always.

Not great, not terrible. Go.mod/sum is also small as possible:

project $ cat go.mod| wc -l
      69
project $ cat go.sum| wc -l
     138

and vendor:

vendor-okay-ish $ scc .

Language             Code
─────────────────────────
Go                676_869

YAML                  267
...
─────────────────────────

Then you add a module for literally one method (app.Messaging(ctx).Send(...) from firebase.google.com/go/v4) and you get the this:

project $ cat go.mod| wc -l
     117
project $ cat go.sum| wc -l
     280

take a breath...

Well done, Google.
