Yup, TFL had £700 million a year in funding cuts under George Osborne, even with that cut Sadiq was able to reduce the deficit. Pre-pandemic TFL had 72% of it's funding via fares, one of the highest in the world. Any drop in rider numbers was going to impact it heavily.
Last Copilot hot take. MS/Github have used their dominant market position as the largest source of public code in the world to build a closed proprietary service, without the explicit consent of their customers.
Do better
@rophilogene
. This is disgusting behaviour on your part. If you believe you or your company's efforts were misrepresented you reach out, make your case and do better next time. You don't send fucking lawyers after someone.
I publicly apologise to Romaric Philogène and Qovery for assuming that a formal event they hosted would not support diversity efforts in tech.
I am also sorry that they felt insulted by a subtweet that was addressed at people in general not making an effort to support diversity.
This is nuts... HPC vendors should be shitting themselves... Descartes Labs did this without telling AWS, just a credit card and some intelligent configuration using best practice design and OSS tools

Copilot can have a huge impact on society as a whole, but it needs to be open.
Open it up to scrutiny, verification and public contribution.
Open model, open data, open algorithm.
Copilot is going to push bias into your code, but you will have no idea what that bias is.

Last 10 years of policies are coming back to bite them (and the country). Bedroom tax, austerity, zero hour contracts, food banks... all things that make a pandemic like this so much worse
@Keir_Starmer
Deaths are rising again. Before any talk of easing the lockdown, there should be increased testing, compulsory face masks and mandatory testing & quarantine for international visitors.
Damnit ... Q is actually really good. You can use it within VS Code via the AWS Toolkit extension. You need a free AWS Builder ID to access it, but that's it.

This is Lily. She sleeps in our bed. She needs to have her hamburgers with her in bed. If she doesn’t have them she’ll pursue missions during the evening to locate them to bring them back. Typically one at a time with hour plus intervals and occasional barking involved.
S3 is the granddaddy of cloud services... seriously mature and rock solid product now... AWS make it such a boring service, which is why it’s so successful... boring stuff that works is what you want to build your apps on
What Chris said.
AWS has killed product led developer advocacy and consolidated it into a single team to own dev experience across AWS. My opinion is that this will fail. It puts developers further away from product teams, and AWS is too broad for one team to cover effectively.
sadly, the
#serverless
DA team at AWS is essentially disbanded. a few years ago I was given an opportunity to build a new role and a new team, in what became one of hottest trends in tech. I was fortunate enough to hire incredibly smart and driven people who delivered tons 1/
Was asked the other day what tech salaries are for Serverless devs in London... done some research and dear me they have gone up... right now there are multiple job postings in finance and tech companies for lead devs at £120k - £140k per annum, in JS, Python and Java.
Copilot has the potential to revolutionise how we build code, with huge knock on effects in the real world. It's a closed proprietary model built with your code, without your explicit consent.
@GergelyOrosz
Not because it was built on serverless. It's because it was built on Vercel's serverless functions specifically which are $$ compared to other vendors.
MS/Github has used their monopolistic position to build this. Any other competitor would have had to get some explicit consent from developers for access to their code to build it.
So AWS Fargate got a massive scaling upgrade under the hood, without many people noticing. This big advantage of fully managed platforms is these kind of improvements just happen without any user interaction for free.
The graph in the quoted tweet got a MASSIVE upgrade!
The last run of COM-401 "Scaling containers on AWS" starts about now at 🙂
As I said, there is ✨drama✨
@girlziplocked
🤯 ... what are the stats on people staying in long term monogamous relationships, but choosing not to marry?
either way thats a huge drop off 😳
Potentially the most relevant legal challenge to Copilot is not licensing, it's anti-trust laws. Using a monopoly in one area to create a monopoly in another.
@IrvineWelsh
Don't be that person. The thread twists the truth. This person is 81, and the crimes they committed were in 1969. They sued for gender transition surgery, and to be transferred to a women's prison. They did not sue to be placed in general population.
Personal opinion: Company that would gain the most by buying Pivotal right now is Google.
1) Immediately gives GCP relationships at Fortune 500 companies and an enterprise sales team
2) Gives GCP a PS capability to hand hold customers moving to the cloud.
Whoa... Google announced GCP's revenue for the first time ... $2.6 billion for the quarter ... I genuinely thought it was slightly less (just under $2B)
@SwiftOnSecurity
Tay can we talk about clocks being out of sync between federated domains by milliseconds and spending daaaaays trying to figure out why kerebos wasnt working
So here's the thing to be aware of with almost all new AWS service announcements. The new service is only useful to a very small number of users. The high level pitch of the service might sound like it will meet your needs, but most often you'll find it's missing key features.
Great to see the lag between a Node version going LTS and being available in Lambda is down to weeks now ... used to be many months!
3 weeks after Node 20 moved into LTS support, it's now on Lambda!
Yesterday I worked on 3 branches. My CI tooling spun up distinct environments, exact replicas of production with 172 resources, for each branch. Seeded data in each. Then tore each one down gracefully when the branch was merged.
I love ephemeral development environments.
Yeah... Amazon CodeWhisperer is great. So much more than autocomplete on steroids, and it's free with an AWS Builder ID.
It's improved massively since I first tried it. Def give it a go.
