Dynamic Function Configuration and its Management in Serverless Computing: A Taxonomy and Future Directions
The serverless cloud computing model offers a framework where the service provider abstracts the underlying infrastructure management from developers. In this serverless model, FaaS provides an event-driven, function-oriented computing service characterised by fine-grained, usage-based pricing that eliminates cost for idle resources. Platforms like AWS Lambda, Azure Functions, and Cloud Run Functions require developers to configure their function(s) with minimum operational resources for its su…

I agree with the storyteller: the experience of having a slave is abhorrent, simulated or not, and this story is a window into something •deep• about the present moment. Even without having slaves, we are all in danger of having a •slaver mindset•. It’s a disease that’s running rampant now in billionaire-shaped techno-utopian circles.
I wrote this thread on the topic earlier:

…and even having written that, it’s still shocking — not surprising, exactly, but shocking — to hear those thoughts expressed so baldly by the colleague in the story above.

Ce weekend j'ai refait du Python, après plus de 10 ans sans y toucher sérieusement.
J'ai été très agréablement surpris par l'évolution de l'écosystème.
DéjŠ : uv. Ça juste marche et ça va vite. La gestion des dépendances, de la version de Python, du packaging, des virtualenvs, ont toujours été de gros points noirs de Python selon moi. Plus récemment, des trucs comme miniconda ou poetry aidaient bien aussi.

Sensors reveal surprising drop in methane emissions after flooding in coastal wetlands
University of Toledo environmental researchers trooped through the woods and wetlands of the Ottawa National Wildlife Refuge for a week in early June. Their mission? To outfit an approximately 16-acre site with nearly 300 sensors that will constantly monitor a slew of metrics related to the soil, water and plants, including the flow of sap through trees.

Another excellent thread from @… I especially agree with this bit:
"The EU needs to get the *hell* off US tech infrastructure. Under Trump, Big Tech and the US government have stopped even pretending that American tech companies are independent of the US government. We know (from China) that Apple will happily backdoor its cloud servers to assuage authoritarian governments"
Not easy for even a motivated person to achieve without a lot of help though. Yet.

pluralistic@mamot.fr - Apple has threatened to stop selling iPhones and other devices in the European Union (home to over 500,000,000 affluent consumers) if the bloc doesn't rescind the Digital Markets Act, a democratically accountable anti-monopoly law that bans Apple from blocking third parties from offering services to iPhone owners:

Mulher da entregadora me ligou agora pra avisar de uma entrega e a voz era igualzinha Š de uma amiga que eu não vejo hš anos. Eu tomei um susto, achei que ela estivesse vindo me visitar de surpresa, sem nem perguntar se eu hoje iria para o trabalho. Ela é bem do tipo que faz essas coisas.

Eu ontem não fui no Pilates, então eu fiz uns alongamentos agora hš pouco ali no quarto. É hilšrio e frustrante tentar fazer exercícios perto do gato, ele quer grudar em você, sentar na cadeira que você estš usando como apoio improvisado pra perna e Šs vezes até resolve deitar em cima de sua barriga no meio de um exercício rs. Mas, mesmo assim, senti que valeu a pena. Foi algo bem leve, mas vai servir para os músculos não ficarem completamente sedentšrios até sšbado, que é o próximo dia de i…
