It’s more over-the-top and arcade-y. Things like volcanos exploding as you ride down the slopes and an indoor mall-like mountain in Tokyo with an air-lift you use to do laps. Note that it’s not free-ride, so there are pluses and minuses to it.

I can confirm both Pixels and Samsung phones have that feature (1/2/4 hours or indefinite). On my current phone (Samsung) you get the option by holding the DND button.

Something about the name seems like a joke

No, my phone went into SOS mode yesterday. No apps, just a button to call 911. And yes, if you lose a ticket, you can indeed miss a flight. Only tale I have for that is a colleague who lost their ticket and the time it took to look up their details put them past boarding, they were stranded at the terminal, but its still an actual risk you can’t wave away.

It takes 5 minutes to save an insane amount of stress and misfortune.

Leonardo De Lima, who works in technology, was on his way to Boston Logan International Airport around 5 a.m. for a business trip to Chicago when he realized his phone was in SOS mode. He initially thought it was a problem with his device, until he got to the Delta terminal and saw a lot of confused faces.

“I heard people talking about the outage, and everyone was lingering in the departure area because nobody could pull up their tickets on their phones,” the 32-year-old said. “I saw a lot of stress.”

It’s a pretty popular meme format, it’s not serious

Exact same here. Totally fine with showing the pass from my phone, prefer it even. But the stakes are too high to skip the 5 minutes it takes to print a paper copy. I can almost guarantee that everyone else is one close call/missed flight away from doing the same thing, too.

In case you’re missing it, this is what the Stephen King book and movie “Maximum Overdrive” is about, but technologically behind by 50 years. Radio signals and power surges just happen to influence machines all over the world into vengefully killing people.

Haha thanks you too

Oof, and there’s only ten lines of code, too. And they look very purposefully written out.

Same with proof-of-concept and piece-of-crap!

Kubernetes is fine because it’s easy to keep track of, it looks and pronounces similar to the real word.

O11y for “observability”, though, that one’s pretty rough. And people trying to make the pronunciation “ollie” make me see red.

Actually, they more or less fit perfectly together. I can put up a demo app later, but Mistletoe is just a runtime that something can fill with YAML generation logic, and cdk8s is a good candidate for that YAML generation. Should only take the dev a few more lines of code to push the cdk8s output into the Mistletoe API, and then you’ve just built a package from your cdk8s app.

Oh, it’s all still Kubernetes YAML. The difference is in how it’s represented. Helm Charts are packaged Golang templates of Kubernetes YAML, and as such have a whole lot of limitation since the only logic you can put into them is Golang template logic.

This is still Kubernetes YAML, but instead you write any program you want to return the YAML, as long as it fits in the sandbox, so it’s pretty open-ended. For example, as a stretch goal, I might add an engine to it that could recompile Helm Charts into Mistletoe Modules.

So Helm never fell short for me as an end user. As far as that goes, it’s near-perfect.

Where it does fall short is as a package writer. A package in Helm is just Kubernetes YAML that’s templated in Golang templates. As such, it gets very hard to any logic beyond the most basic, and projects that get larger get very unwieldy.

Hmm, what’s your idea for the OCI image format, e.g., how would it work? That might be worth looking into, too.

I really agree. As quick as I am to be cynical about low-impact press releases from a conglomerate, I do find it interesting to read through design changes and the symbolic meaning in branding.

It’s a weird take, but I’m not sure I expect a new Jet Set to live up to what Bomb Rush Cyberfunk put out. That game was a love letter, and absolutely nailed the style, gameplay, and nostalgia. I’d be afraid of getting a new Jet Set and it ends up being kinda generic or uninteresting.

That’s factually false. Its main mechanism of action is adenosine antagonism, but it does cause a rise of blood adrenaline, as well as a release dopamine and norepinephrine to a handful of systems in the brain.

It’s true that it doesn’t improve mental acuity, and can leave you in an exhausted-but-anxious state, but saying it doesn’t actually stimulate you or wake you up is incorrect.

Twenty late-teen

Actually, aluminum foil is a pretty decent way to clean scissors.
