Episode 181: There wasn’t a sign that said I was in a drum circle zone

You can now pay open source developers directly, well, those in the closed beta. Seems like a good idea, really. Also, the Commonwealth and Friends club doesn’t like Huawei, and thought lords can be bores. Hey! Want to get Coté’s book, a collection of writing on DevOps, agile, and THE DIGITAL? Go to leanpub.com/digitalwtf and use the code SDT to get $20 off (https://leanpub.com/digitalwtf/c/sdt) Digital WTF (https://leanpub.com/digitalwtf/c/sdt), so $5 total. And, if you want a free copy, contact Coté and tell him you’ll help market it (advertise it, put it in Twitter, by post to your uncle, whatever!) and he’ll send you a code for a free copy. Also: What kind of hippy were you, Coté? Any whistles? Low-tech rave. 3 slides in Guam. Thought-acting. New hire announcements need to be auto-deleted. Not for you. I can assure you conference organizers… I am not polished. YAML for good. No YAML for payment. It’s going to be more than $10,000 for LDAP. Can’t tell if I like American Gods, but I keep reading/watching it. German crossbow guys, aka, c (https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-48257713)rossbow bolt cult in Germany (https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-48257713). A crossbow only does d4 of damage. Every time I log into Skype there's an upgrade. British people totally into yelling at their kids.

Are they just the new normal that everyone buys, the new “legacy” and/or “lock-in as too expensive?” Also, like, maybe they work really well…? Containers, microservices, and service meshes (http://jpetazzo.github.io/2019/05/17/containers-microservices-service-meshes/) “~jpetazzo/index” - the World Wide Web! Jesus - why the fuck isn’t this just built into how networking works? Was SDN too expensive, or something? “it made more sense to build a new proxy than to extend an existing one” - ladies and gentlemen: the story of open source. So. Basically, with a local proxy and distributed hashmap you can cloud? Am I reading this right? We should add another layer on-top of all of this in some kind of framework hand-slapping game? “One approach that has a lot of potential is to use a tool like SuperGloo. SuperGloo offers an abstraction layer to simplify and unify the APIs exposed by service meshes.” Elsewhere (https://www.oreilly.com/ideas/do-you-need-a-service-mesh): “The service mesh is a dedicated infrastructure layer for handling service-to-service communication in order to make it visible, manageable, and controlled.” Paging Dr. Alexa: Hospitals call on voice assistants, envisioning ‘massive’ impact on healthcare (https://www.geekwire.com/2019/paging-dr-alexa-hospitals-call-voice-assistants-envisioning-massive-impact-healthcare/) The usual AI/ML speech stuff. Also, getting Alexia to turn the TV on for you: “By the way, I don’t think nurses also like to come and turn on the TV for you,” Gholami said. “They want to care for you. They want the emotional connection part.” Coté: I was using the IVR for a rental car company recently. I mean, it was an IVR, really annoying. Voice is bullshit. Why so much “science” used in design is bullshit: Android, Losada and Frankfurt.
