I recently (a couple of weeks ago) got the 6K version of this screen, the Asus PA32QCV. It has the same pixel density as my MacBook Pro, so the UI looks great. To be honest, it's enough screen real estate that I now operate with my laptop in clam shell mode.

My only complaint is that the KVM leaves a bit to be desired. One input can be Thunderbolt, but the other has to be HDMI/DisplayPort. That means I need to use a USB-C cable for real KVM when switching between my two laptops. I'd like two cables, but four cables isn't the end of the world.


Can you say more about retatrutide for IBS? My IBS is debilitating to the point where I usually refuse to eat food on week-long work trips, because the unplanned emergency toilet trips wreak havoc with my schedule and ability to sit in meetings all day. I'd never heard there was a solution to it.


Sure, and I totally get your issues. I was a damned wedding photographer and I'd only eat towards the very end of the night, and still had a few iffy days.

As I stated, I originally tried semaglutide with no luck. I didn't try tirzepatide. I've been taking a very low dose of retatrutide - about .5mg twice a week. It seemed to be waning in effectiveness a bit so I upped the dose to 2mg/week for now. It's a night and day difference. Most days I go to the bathroom maybe two times, as opposed to the maybe 5-10 times I would need to unmedicated.

To be clear, this isn't an approved use of the medications (and retatrutide isn't approved at all yet, though it pretty clearly will be). However, they slow down gut motility - and as a bonus for your refusing to eat during week-long work trips, they'd probably at least help with that too, in terms of hunger.


If you want to read more, it was called "EC2 Classic" (well, it wasn't called that before VPCs were launched!). There was a discussion about it being retired on HN here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27988964


I currently work at the company. Wacky words that I can find in Slack include

- updog

- stegosaurus

- brat

- flabbergasted

- superbowl

- crouton


I remember stegosaurus! Good times.


lol idk why crouton has me flabbergastedly in stitches.


I'm also based in Melbourne. I would add that all the above is true of maybe 95% of companies, but there are a few exceptions: big US-based tech companies. There are roles for devs that pay AU$250-$550K/year, including the data engineers. Unfortunately, there appears to be zero correlation with expertise and we have the exact same pain zone experience that I had when I was earning a third of this salary at an AU-headquartered company.


FYI I love your work with Gimlet, etc.

I too would love "native" support for SSH CAs in EC2. What I ended up doing is adding a line to every EC2 userdata script that would rewrite the /home/ec2-user/.ssh/authorized_keys file to treat the provided EC2 keypair as a CA instead of a regular pubkey.


Can you explain what you mean by "for many years they were not [default deny]"? I've been using S3 for 10+ years and I can't remember a time when they were ever open-by-default.

If you mean there were years where it was dangerously easy to accidentally open up a bucket, you'll get no disagreement from me. But I can't think of a time when they weren't default deny.


Apple still has this program. I haven't worked as an iOS developer for a few years now, but I remember their paid "technical support incidents" were extremely high quality. It was $50 per incident, but I think that was just to reduce spam.

I remember being astounded by the technical depth of a particular answer and looking up the the engineer on LinkedIn. He had 20+ years of experience at Apple - and it showed in his answer.


Mullvad had to go public[0] with a security leak before Apple even responded to their reports in the release candidates for MacOS 14

This is a great idea for a project. You should also make it work as a Docker logging driver plugin[1] so that people can easily view their local Docker container logs through Logdy

[1]: https://docs.docker.com/config/containers/logging/plugins/


Interesting, I'll take a look at it. I was thinking specifically about Docker usage and right now you can do like this

$ logdy stdin 'docker logs --follow my_container_name'

I guess writing a logging driver plugin will enable better experience to the user. I'll investigate it, thanks for the nudge!


That's actually an interesting one - it depends on your jurisdiction. E.g. in all Australian jurisdictions (and quite a few US states), one cannot consent to serious bodily harm. Some jurisdictions allow consent as a defence for "lower" assaults that don't meet the threshold of serious bodily harm. In Australia (I'm not as familiar with other countries), there are usually explicit carve-outs for sports like boxing, but only when under the purview of a licensed boxing authority.


Clearly the answer is organized slap fighting. ;)
