- Replying to @_Akanoa_Ça fait du sel qui croque. Sponsorisé par les dentistes.
- AWS are really acting like vultures with OpenSearch, blindly forking every bit or Apache-licensed Elastic source code and rebranding it as OpenSearch. They recently raided the Elasticsearch client libraries, forking them all… 1/5
- Garage: a self-hosted drop-in replacement for the Amazon S3 object store. #FOSDEM garagehq.deuxfleurs.fr
- First iteration of the automated veggie garden watering system done. The electronic part was a breeze thanks to @esphome_ and @home_assistant! I can't say the same for the pipe burying part 😅 Next up: automatic switching between rainwater tank and city water, moisture sensor...
- Just discovered that HTTP status code 451 "Unavailable For Legal Reasons" exists. This number, in the 4xx "Client errors" range, is a reference to Ray Bradbury's Farenheit 451 in which books are illegal...
- Replying to @alexsoyesEuh... En 2000 on avait des modems 56k, alors on faisait plutôt la chasse à l'octet. Et les animations c'était en Flash ou en applet Java, généralement limité aux menus/navigation et aux bandeaux de pub. Quand aux grosses libs JS, ben... il n'y en avait pas.
- "Anyone who uses YAML long enough will eventually get burned when attempting to abbreviate Norway: `NO` is parsed as a boolean type, which with the YAML 1.1 spec, there are 22 options to write true or false."
- I'm starting a new role at @elastic today, joining the Elasticsearch team to work on the Java client: API modeling, code generation, network layer and managing community feedback and contributions. Open source code as my day job again! I will also contribute to the Rust client 😋
- 🎉 The new Elasticsearch Java Client I've been working on for the last 6 months is now public. Still experimental but already usable! The API code is generated from a formal spec of the API, which is no small feat considering its size and complexity! 🥳
- Today I've been promoted to tech lead of the SDK/clients team at @elastic, focusing on statically typed languages and our code generation tooling 🎉 This is a great team of polyglot language experts, developing opensource client libraries in 9 different languages. Cool stuff 😉
- Replying to @24hPujadas and @baptistemor1Quelle honte cette "analyse" ! C'est comme si on disait "la température baisse" en comparant la température à midi au soleil le lundi et celle du milieu de la nuit en fin de semaine...
- Yay ! Ma conférence "Introduction à Rust embarqué" a été acceptée à @DevoxxFR ! Trop content ! On va faire du live coding, depuis une LED qui clignote jusqu'à un serveur http embarqué !
