POPULARITY
I'm not sure why you'd make a hall of fame that's not also a sidewalk, but that's exactly what BoardGameGeek have gone and done - they've curated 25 games into their hall of fame, and we're here to judge them for their choices. It's weird that they didn't come to us first, honestly. Before we deck the halls, we talk about Arborea, Beyond the Horizon, and Taiwan Night Market. 02:49 - Arborea 10:32 - Beyond the Horizon 20:43 - Taiwan Night Market 32:00 - BGG Hall of Fame 38:57 - Diplomacy 40:35 - Acquire 41:55 - Cosmic Encounter 43:25 - Civilization 45:05 - 1830: Railways and Robber Barons 45:46 - Magic The Gathering 48:02 - Catan 49:03 - El Grande 49:58 - Tigris and Euphrates 51:04 - Ra 52:07 - Carcassone 53:29 - Power Grid 53:49 - Ticket to Ride 54:16 - Caylus 55:26 - Twilight Struggle 56:26 - Through the Ages 58:17 - Agricola 59:35 - Brass 01:00:25 - Race for the Galaxy 01:01:53 - Dominion 01:02:38 - Pandemic 01:03:39 - Seven Wonders 01:04:51 - Castles of Burgundy 01:05:14 - Terra Mystica 01:06:54 - Concordia Get added to the BGB community map at: https://boardgamebarrage.com/map Send us topic ideas at: https://boardgamebarrage.com/topics Check out our wiki at: https://boardgamebarrage.com/wiki Join the discussion at: https://boardgamebarrage.com/discord Join our Facebook group at: https://boardgamebarrage.com/facebook Get a Board Game Barrage T-shirt at: https://boardgamebarrage.com/store
And back to Mark! It's the soggy middle of his top 50, or as he insists on calling it, his numbers 30 through 11.

Previously, Randall led software and developer relations teams at Facebook, SpaceX, AWS, MongoDB, and NASA. Randall spends most of his time listening to customers, building demos, writing blog posts, and mentoring junior engineers.

Outside of work, Randall loves to read science fiction, advise startups, travel, and ski.Links: Caylent.com: https://caylent.com/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/jrhunt Riot Games Talk: https://youtu.be/oGK-ojM7ZMc James Hamilton Talk: https://youtu.be/uj7Ting6Ckk TranscriptAnnouncer: Hello, and welcome to Screaming in the Cloud with your host, Chief Cloud Economist at The Duckbill Group, Corey Quinn. This weekly show features conversations with people doing interesting work in the world of cloud, thoughtful commentary on the state of the technical world, and ridiculous titles for which Corey refuses to apologize. This is Screaming in the Cloud.Corey: This episode is sponsored in part by our friends at Sysdig. Sysdig is the solution for securing DevOps. They have a blog post that went up recently about how an insecure AWS Lambda function could be used as a pivot point to get access into your environment. They've also gone deep in-depth with a bunch of other approaches to how DevOps and security are inextricably linked. To learn more, visit sysdig.com and tell them I sent you. That's S-Y-S-D-I-G dot com. My thanks to them for their continued support of this ridiculous nonsense.Corey: It seems like there is a new security breach every day. Are you confident that an old SSH key or a shared admin account isn't going to come back and bite you? If not, check out Teleport. Teleport is the easiest, most secure way to access all of your infrastructure. The open source Teleport Access Plane consolidates everything you need for secure access to your Linux and Windows servers—and I assure you there is no third option there. Kubernetes clusters, databases, and internal applications like AWS Management Console, Yankins, GitLab, Grafana, Jupyter Notebooks, and more. Teleport's unique approach is not only more secure, it also improves developer productivity. To learn more visit: goteleport.com. And no, that is not me telling you to go away, it is: goteleport.com.Corey: Welcome to Screaming in the Cloud. I'm Corey Quinn. About a year ago, from the time of this recording, I had Randall Hunt on this podcast and we had a great conversation. He worked elsewhere, did different things, and midway through the recording, there was a riot slash coup attempt at the US Capitol. Yeah.So, talking to Randall was the best thing that happened to me that day. And I'm hoping that this recording is a lot less eventful. Randall, thank you for joining me once again.Randall: It's great to see you, buddy. It's been a long time.Corey: It really has.Randall: Well, I guess we saw each other at re:Invent.Corey: We did, but that was—re:Invent as a separate, otherworldly place called Las Vegas. But since then, you've taken a new role. You are now the VP of Cloud Strategy and Solutions at Caylent. And the first reaction I had to that was, “What the hell is a Caylent? Let's find out.”So, I pulled up the website, and it was—you're an AWS partner, what I was able to figure out, but you didn't lead with that, which is a great thing because, “We're an AWS partner” is the least effective marketing strategy I can imagine. You are doing consulting on the implementation side the way that I would approach doing consulting implementation if I were down that path. Which I'm very much not, I'm pure advisory around one problem. But you talk about solutions, you talk about outcomes for your customers, you don't try to be all things to all people. You're Randall Hunt; you have a lot of options when it comes to what you do for careers. How did you wind up at Caylent?Randall: Well, you know, I was doing a startup for a little while, and unfortunately, you know, I lost some people in my family. And I was just, like, a little mentally burnt out, so I took a break. And I had already bought my re:Invent ticket and everything. So, then I was like, “Okay, well, I'll go to re:Invent; I'll see everybody and try and avoid getting Covid.” So, I was masked up the whole time.And while I was there, I ran into this group of folks who are on Caylent. And I did some research on them, and then we had some meetings. And I had already been kind of chatting with a bunch of different AWS partners, consulting partners, big and small. And none of them really stood out to me. I'm not trying to diss on any of these other partners because I think they're all pretty amazing in what they do, but then a lot of them are just kind of… the same shop, pushing out the same code. They don't have this operational excellence.Corey: Swap one partner for another in many cases, and there's not a lot of difference perceivable from the customer side of the story. And I know you're going to be shocked by this, but I'm not a huge fan of the way that AWS talks about these things, with their messaging. Imagine that? Like, and sure enough in the partner program, AWS continues what it does with services, and gives things bad names. In this case, it's a ‘competency.' If we used to work together and someone reaches out for a reference check, and I say, “Randall? Oh, yeah. He was competent.”Randall: [laugh].Corey: That has a lot of implications that aren't necessarily positive. It feels almost begrudging when they frame it that way. And it's just odd.Randall: The way that I look at it—so I don't know if you've ever been through this program, but in order to achieve those competencies, you have to demonstrate. So, in order to be able to list them on your little partner card, right, or in the marketplace or whatever, you have to be able to go and say, “These are five customers where we delivered.” And then AWS will go and talk to those customers and ask for your satisfaction scores from those customers. You have to explain which services you use, what the initial set was, and then what the outcome was. And so it's a big matrix that they make you fill out to accomplish each of these, and you have to have real-world customer examples.So, I like that there's that verification for people to know, but I don't think that AWS does a great job of explaining what that means. Like, what goes into getting a competency. And I don't know how to explain it quickly.Corey: Same here. When I look at those partner cards on various websites—in some cases above the fold on the landing page—they list out all the different competencies, and it's, on some level, if I know what all of those things are, and what they imply, and how that works, for a lot of problems I don't need a partner at that point because at that point I'm deep enough in the weeds to do a lot of it myself. To be clear, I have the exact opposite outlier type that most companies probably should not emulate. One of our marketing approaches here at The Duckbill Group has been we are not AWS partners, as a selling point of all things. We're not partnering with any company in the space, just due to real or perceived conflicts of interest.We also do one very specific, very expensive problem in an advisory sense, and that is it. If we were doing implementation, and we lead with, “Oh, yeah. We're not AWS partners,” it doesn't go so well. I once was talking to somebody wanted me to do a security assessment there, and, “All right, it's not what we do, but”—this was early days, and I gave the talk, and it turns out every talking point I've got for what works well in the costing space makes me look deranged when I'm talking about another space, it's like, “Oh, yeah. We're doing security stuff. Yeah, but we're no AWS partners, and we're not part of any vendor in this space.”“That sounds actively dangerous and harmful. What the hell is the matter with you people?” Because security is a big space, and you need to work closely with cloud providers when doing security things there. The messaging doesn't [laugh] land quite the same way. That's why I don't do other kinds of consulting these days.Randall: Yeah. But to your question of what the hell is a Caylent?Corey: [laugh].Randall: So, Caylent's name is derivative of Caylus, which is a God from Roman mythology. And I think it's the root of the word celestial. But I just looked up the etymology, and I can't confirm that. But let's be real, you know—Corey: Well, hang on a second because we look at Athena, which is AWS's service named after the Greek Goddess of spending money on cloud services—Randall: [laugh].Corey: We have Kubernetes, which is the Greek God of cosplaying as a Google engineer. And I'm not a huge fan of either of those things, so why am I going to like Caylent any better?Randall: Oh, it's Roman, not Greek.Corey: Ah, that would do it.Randall: [laugh]. No, I—beyond meeting the team there, and then reading through some of their case studies and projects when I was at re:Invent, in my first day at the company, I just went around and I just spoke with as many of the engineers as I could. And I was blown away at some of the cool stuff that they're working on and some of the talent. And here's the thing is, Caylent was pretty small last year, you know? I think they were at 30 people sometime last year, and now they're—it's, you know, 400% growth, almost.And they've done some really, really cool important work during Covid. For companies like eMed. They've done some work for, you know, all of these other firms. But between you and me—let's get down to business, which is, you know I love space.Corey: Oh, yeah. To be clear, when we're talking about space, that can mean a bunch of different things. Like, “Honestly, don't be near me,” could be how I interpret that.Randall: You know how I love space, and rockets, and orbital mechanics, and satellites, and these sorts of things. And SciFi. And Caylent's whole branding scheme is around this little guy called the [Caylien 00:07:28]. It's our little mascot, a little alien dude, and it is kind of our whole branding persona. And everything else that we do is rockets. And we don't have onboarding, we have launch plans. That whole branding, it seems silly but—Corey: It's very evocative, the Roman mythology, I think that's a great direction to go in. I realized that for the start of this episode, I forgot to give folks who are not familiar with you a bit of backstory. You've done a lot of things: You worked at NASA, and then you were at MongoDB, and you were a boomerang at AWS—your second time there is where I wound up meeting you—in between, you decided to work at a little company called SpaceX. So, yeah, space is kind of a thing for you.And then you were in a few different roles at AWS, and that's where I encountered you. And you had a way of talking to people on stage, or in a variety of different contacts, and building up proofs of concept, where you made a lot of the technical hard things look easy without being condescending to anyone, in the event that the rest of us mere mortals found them a little trickier to do. You did a great job of not just talking about what the service did, but about what problem it solves, and thus by extension, why I should care. And it was really neat to watch you just break things down like that in a way that makes sense. Now that you're over at Caylent as the VP of Cloud Strategy, the two things I see are, on the strength side, you have an ability to articulate the why behind what customers, and companies, and technologists are doing.The caution I have, and I'm curious about how you're challenging that is, your default goto explain things in many cases is to write some code that demonstrates the thing that you're talking about. Great engineer; as a VP, depending on how that expresses itself, that could be something that poses a bit of a challenge. How do you view it?Randall: You gave me some good advice on this. I don't know if you remember, but you said, “Randall, if you're in management, you got to make sure you're not just an engineer with an inflated title.” You know, “You have to lead. Good leaders aren't passive; they're active.” And I kind of took that to heart.I'm never going to stop coding, I'm never going to be hands-off keyboard, but one of the things that I've been focusing on lately, as opposed to doing pure implementation, is what is the Caylent culture and the Caylent way of doing things, and how can we onboard junior talent and get them to learn as much as they can about the cloud so we can cover the cost of their certification and things like that, but how do we make it so we're not just teaching them the things they need to be successful in the role, but the things they need to be successful in their career, even as they leaves Caylent. You know, even beyond Caylent. When you're hiring somebody, when you're evaluating a cloud engineer, if they have Caylent on their resume, I want that to be a very strong signal for hiring managers where they're like, “Oh, I know, Caylent does amazing work, so we're going to definitely put this person in for an interview.” And then I've been an independent consultant many, many times. So, I've done work just off on the side, like, implementation and stuff for probably hundreds of companies over the last decade-plus, but what I haven't done is really worked with a consulting firm before.I have this interesting dilemma that I'm trying to evaluate right now, which is, you work with a very broad set of customers who have a very broad set of values and principles and ways of doing things. And you, as a consultant, are not able to just prescriptively come in and say, “This is how you should do it.” You know, we're not McKinsey; we don't come in and talk to the board and say, “You have to restructure the whole company.” That's not what we do. What we do is we build things and we help with DevOps.And so I've been playing around with this, so let me workshop it on you and you tell me what you think. It's—Corey: Hit me.Randall: At Caylent, we work within the customer's values, but we strive to be ambassadors of our Caylent culture. “Always be on the lookout for values, ideas, tools, and practices that our customers have that would work well here at Caylent. And these are our principles unless you know better ones.” I don't know if you know that phrase, by the way. It's an old Amazon thing.Corey: Oh, yeah. I remember that quite a bit. It's included in most of their tenet descriptions of, “These are ours unless you know better ones.” They don't say that about the leadership principle because—Randall: Right.Corey: —it's like, “These are leadership principles unless you know better ones.” Yes, several. But that's beside the point. The idea of being able to—being about to always learn and the rest. You also hit on something that applies to my entire philosophy of employment.Something we do in this industry is we tend to stay in jobs for, I don't know, ideally, two to five years in most cases, and then we move on. But magically, during the interview process, we all pretend that this is your forever job, and suddenly, this is the place that's going to change all of it, and you're going to be here for 25 years and retire with a gold pocket watch and a pension. And most people don't have either of those things in this century, so it's a little bit of an unrealistic fantasy. Something I like to ask our candidates during the interview process is always, “Great. Ignore this job. Ignore it entirely. What's the job after this one? Where are you going?”Because if you don't plan these things, your career becomes what happens to you instead. And even if what you plan changes, that's great. It keeps you moving, from doing the same thing year after year after year after year. Early in my career, I worked with someone had been at the company for seven years, but it was time for him to go and he couldn't for the life and remember what he did years two through four, which—Randall: Yeah.Corey: —you may as well not have been there.Randall: There's a really good quote from the CEO of GitLab that… says, “At GitLab, we hire people on trajectory, not on pedigree.” And I love that. And—you know, I never finished college, so the fact that I've been able to get the opportunities I've been able to get without a college degree, and without a fancy name on my resume—Corey: We are exactly the same on that, but hang on a second; you have a lot of fancy names on your resume, so slow your roll there, Speed Racer.Randall: Okay. Okay, well, [laugh] but that's after, right? Like, I think once you land one, the rest don't matter. But I—Corey: I still never have. The most impressive thing on my resume is, honestly, The Duckbill Group.Randall: Well, I think that's pretty impressive now, right?Corey: Oh, it is—Randall: [laugh].Corey: —we're pretty good at what we do. But it doesn't have the household recognition that you know, SpaceX does. Yet.Randall: Yet. [laugh]. I'm really loving building things and working with customers, but you're totally right. As you move into leadership, it's not your job to write code day in and day out. I know a couple people. So, Elliot Horowitz, who used to be the CTO over at MongoDB, he would still code all the time. And I'd love to be able to find a way to keep my hands-on keyboard skills sharp, but continue to have the larger impact that you can have in leadership for a larger number of people.Corey: I have the same problem because my consulting clients, it's pure advisory. I don't write production code for a variety of excellent reasons, including that I'm bad at it. And with managing the team here, as soon as I step in and start writing the code myself, in front of—instead of someone else whose core function it is, well, that causes a bunch of problems culturally as well as the problem of I'm suddenly in the critical path, and there's probably something more impactful I could be and should be working on.So, my answer, in all seriousness, has been shitposting. When I build ridiculous things that—you helped out architecturally with one of them: The stop.lying.cloud status page replacement for AWS.Randall: Oh, yeah, that you were regenerating every time? I remember that.Corey: Yeah. I wrote a whole blog post about that. Like, I have a Twitter client that I wrote the first version of, and then paid someone to make better: lasttweetinaws.com, that's out there for a bunch of things.My production pipeline for the newsletter. And the reason I build a lot of these things myself is that it keeps me touching the technology so I don't become a talking head. But if I decide I don't want to touch code this week, nothing is not happening for the business as a direct result of that. Plus, you know, it's nice to have a small-scale environment that I can take screenshots of without worrying about it. And oh, heavens, I'm suddenly sharing data that shouldn't be shared publicly. So, I find a way to still bring it in and tie it in without it being the core function of my role. That may help. It may not.Randall: No, it does help. There's this person in our industry, Charity Majors. I've been reading some of her blog posts about engineering management and how that all kind of shakes out, and I've tried to take as much lessons from that as I can. Because, right, you know, being in leadership is fairly new for me, I don't know if I'm good at this, I might suck at it. And by the way, if Cayliens are listening and you see me screw up, just shoot me a message on Slack, anytime, day or night. It's like, “Hey, Randall, you screwed this up.” Just let me know because—Corey: Or call it out on Twitter; that's more entertaining. I kid. I kid. That's what's known as a career-limiting move in most places. Not because Randall's going to take any objection to it, but because it's—people can see the things that you write, and it's one of those, “Oh, you're just going to call down your own internal company leadership in public?” Even if it's a gag or something people don't have the context on that. It does not look good to folks who lack the context. I've learned as I've iterated forward that appearances count for an awful lot on things like that. I'm sorry, please continue.Randall: And the other thing that I've discovered is that you can have an outsized impact by focusing on education within your own company. So, one of my primary functions is to just stay on top of AWS news. So—Corey: Yeah. Me too.Randall: Exactly, right? So, literally every RSS feed from AWS, I watched every single re:Invent video. So it's, like, 19 days' worth of video. And obviously, you know, I put it on double-speed, and I would skip through a bunch of things. But I go, and I review everything, and I try and create context with the people who are moving and shaking things at AWS and building cool stuff.And my realization is that I need to work to grow my network and connect with people who have accomplished very impressive things in business. And by leveraging that network and learning about the challenges they faced, it becomes a compression algorithm for experience. And I know that's an uncommon, unpopular opinion, that most people will say there is no compression algorithm for experience, but I think taking lessons learned and leveraging them within your own organization is probably one of the most important things you can do.Corey: I would agree with you, but I also going to take it a step further. “There's no compression algorithm for experience.” It sounds pithy, but it's one of the most moronic things I've heard in recent memory because of course there is. We all stand—Randall: It's called machine learning. [laugh].Corey: —on the shoulders of giants. We can hire consultancies, you can hire staff who have solved similar problems before, you can buy a product that bakes all of that experience into it. And, yeah, you can absolutely find ways of compressing experience. I feel like anytime a big cloud company that charges per gigabyte tells you that there's no compression algorithm for anything, it's because, “Ah, I see what's going on here. You're trying to basically gouge customers. Got it.”Randall: I want to come back to that in one second, right, because I do want to talk about cloud networking because I have so many thoughts on this, and AWS did some cool stuff. But there's one other thing that I've been thinking about a lot lately, and one of the hardest things that I found in business is to not slow down as your organization grows. It becomes really easy to introduce excuses for going slower or to introduce processes that create bottlenecks. And my whole focus right now is—Caylent's in this hyper-growth period: We're hiring a lot, we're growing a lot, we have so many inbound customers that we want to be able to build cool stuff for. And help them out with their DevOps culture, and help them get moved into the 21st century, right?How do we grow without just completely becoming bureaucratic, you know? I want people to be a manager of one and be able to be autonomous and feel empowered to go and do things on behalf of customers, but you also have to focus on security and compliance and the checkboxes that your customers want you to have and that your customers need to be able to trust you. And so I'm really looking for good ideas on how to, like, not slow down as we grow.Corey: Today's episode is brought to you in part by our friends at MinIO the high-performance Kubernetes native object store that's built for the multi-cloud, creating a consistent data storage layer for your public cloud instances, your private cloud instances, and even your edge instances, depending upon what the heck you're defining those as, which depends probably on where you work. It's getting that unified is one of the greatest challenges facing developers and architects today. It requires S3 compatibility, enterprise-grade security and resiliency, the speed to run any workload, and the footprint to run anywhere, and that's exactly what MinIO offers. With superb read speeds in excess of 360 gigs and 100 megabyte binary that doesn't eat all the data you've gotten on the system, it's exactly what you've been looking for. Check it out today at min.io/download, and see for yourself. That's min.io/download, and be sure to tell them that I sent you.Corey: That's always an interesting challenge because slowing down is an inherent… side effect of maturity, on some level, and people look, “Well, look at AWS. They do all kinds of super quickly.” Yeah, they release new things from small teams very quickly, but look at the pace of change that comes to foundational services like SQS or S3, like the things that are foundational to all of that? And yeah, you don't want to iterate on that super quickly and change constantly because people depend on the behaviors on the, in some cases, the bugs, and any change you make is going to disrupt someone's workflow. So, there's always a bit of a balance there.I want to talk specifically about how you view AWS because people ask me the same thing all the time, and you stand in a somewhat similar position. You worked there, I never have, but you have been critical of things that AWS has done, rightfully so. I very rarely find myself disagreeing with you. You're also a huge fan of things that they do, which I am as well. And I want to be very clear for anyone who questions this, you work for a large partner now, and there are always going to be constraints, real or imagined, around what you can say about a company with whom a good portion of your business flows through.But I have never once known you to shill for something you don't believe in. I think your position on this is the same as mine, which is—Randall: A hundred percent.Corey: I don't need to say every thought that flits through my head about something, but I will not lie to my audience—or to other people, or my customers, or anyone else for that matter—about something, regardless of what people want me to do. I've turned down sponsorships on that basis. You can buy my attention, but not my opinion, and I've always got a very strong sense of that same behavior from you.Randall: You're totally right there. I mean—Corey: [unintelligible 00:21:39] disagree with that. Like, “No, no, I'm a hell of a shill. What are you—thanks for not seeing it though.” Come on, of course you're going to agree with that.Randall: So, when I was at AWS, I did have to shill a little bit because they have some pretty intense PR guidelines. But—Corey: Rule number one: Never say anything at any time proactively. But okay. Please continue.Randall: No, no, I think they've relaxed it over the years. Because—so Amazon had very strict PR, and then when AWS was kind of coming up, like, a lot of those PR rules were kind of copy-pasted into AWS. And it took a while for the culture of AWS, which is very much engineering-focused, to filter up into PR. So, I think modern-day AWS PR is actually a lot more relaxed than it was, say in, like, 2014. And that's how we have Senior Principal and distinguished engineers on Twitter who are able to share really cool details about services with us.And I love that. You know, Colm's threads are great to read. And then, you know, there are a bunch of people that I follow, who all have cool details and deep-dives into things, Matt Wilson as well. And so when you talk about being authentic and not just reiterating the information that comes from AWS, I have this balance that I have to play that I was honestly not good at earlier on in my career—maybe it was just a maturity thing—where I would say every thought that came through my head. I wouldn't take a beat and think about, you know, how can I say this in a way that's actionable for the team, as opposed to just pure criticism?And now, I am fully committed to being as authentic as possible. So, when a service stinks, I say it. I am very much down on Timestream right now. For what it's worth, I have not tried it this month, but you know, I keep trying to use Timestream, right, and I keep running into issues. That these lifecycle policies, they don't actually move things in the timely manner that you expect them to.And, you know, there's this idea that AWS has around purpose-built databases and they're trying to shove all of these different workloads into different databases, but a lot of times—you know, DynamoDB can be your core data processing engine, and everything else can flow from that. Or you can even use MongoDB. But throwing in Timestream and MemoryDB and all these other things on top of it, it becomes less and less differentiated. And a lot of these workloads are getting served by other native services, like cloud-native services.And anyway, that's a whole tangent, but basically, I wanted to say, you can expect me to continue to be very opinionated about AWS services, and I think that's one of the reasons that customers want us there is we will advise you on the full spectrum of compute, right? We're not going to say, “Oh, you have to go serverless.” There are still some workloads that are not well served by serverless. There's still some stuff that just doesn't work well with serverless. And then there'll be other workloads where EKS is where you want to be running things, you know? Maybe you do need Kubernetes.I used to go on Twitter all the time, and I would say things like, “You don't need Kubernetes. You don't need Kubernetes. Like, you only need Kubernetes at this scale. Like, you're not there yet. Calm down.” That's changed. So, these days, I think Kubernetes is way easier to deal with and it's a lot more mature, so I don't shy away from recommending Kubernetes these days.Corey: What is your take on, I guess, some of the more interesting global infrastructure stuff that they're doing lately because I've been having some challenges, on some level, building some multi-region stuff, and increasingly, it's felt to me like a lot of the region expansions and the rest have been for very specific folks, in very specific places, with very specific—often regulatory—constraints. These aren't designed to the point where anyone would want to use more than two or three in any applications deployment. And I know this because when I try to do it, the [SAs 00:25:13] look at me like I'm something of a loon.Randall: So, there were two really cool launches from AWS, this year at re—or last year at re:Invent. There was Cloud WAN or Cloud Wide Area Network, and there was SiteLink, and there was also VPC Access Analyzer. But when we talk about AWS's global infrastructure, I like going back to James Hamilton's talk. I don't remember if it's 2017 or 2018, but it was, “Tuesday Night Live” with AWS or something, and it walked through what a region is. And so the AWS Cloud these days is 26 regions, there are eight more on the way, and then there's something like 30 local zones.And I think that AWS is focused on getting closer to their customers, creating better peering relationships with different telecom providers, creating more edge locations, creating more regional caches, is transformative for what can be delivered. I play video games, so Riot Games gave a cool talk at re:Invent about how they use a mix of Outposts, and edge locations, and local zones to be able to get their Valorant gamers on to—Valorant is this first-person shooter game—get those gamers on the most local server that minimizes latency and pain for them. And that's the kind of future that I want to see us build towards, and that's something—I'm still incredibly bullish on AWS. I know Azure and Google are making improvements, and great for them for doing that because it raises all of us up to compete, but the thing that AWS has done that separates them from a lot of the other clouds is they have enabled workloads that literally would not have been possible without fundamental investment in global infrastructure. I'm talking things like undersea cables, I'm talking things like net-new applied photonics for fiber: There's researchers at AWS whose sole job is to figure out how to fit more stuff into fiber.So, James Hamilton did this talk, right, and he broke down what an availability zone is—and there are 84 availability zones in all now—and he walked through an availability zone is not a single data center; an availability zone typically comprises multiple data centers that are separated from each other with different infrastructure and stuff. And then he broke down, like, the largest AWS availability zone is 14 data centers. And all new regions, by the way, have three availability zones, and those availability zones, they're meaningfully separated, more than a mile but less than an issue than when, like, speed of light effects come in. And that's where you can build services like Aurora, where you have this shared storage layer on top of a data engine. And that's how you can build FSx for Lustre, and EBS, and EFS.And, like, all of these services are things that are really only possible at scale. And Peter DeSantis talked a lot about this in his keynote, by the way, about the advantages of aggregate workload monitoring. I think AWS's ability to innovate from first principles is probably unparalleled in our global economy right now. That's not to say they will always be there, and that's not to say that they're always going to be that level of innovation, but for the last ten years, they've shown again and again that they can just go gangbusters and release new stuff. I mean, we have 400-gigabit-per-second networking now. Like, what the heck?Corey: And we still charge two cents per gigabyte when we throw that amount of capacity from one availability zone in a region to another. Which, of course I'm still salty about. Remember, my role is economics, so I have a different perspective on these things.Randall: Well, I like that Cloudflare and Google and Microsoft—and even Oracle, by the way; I don't know—at some point we should talk about Oracle Cloud because I used to be really down on them, but now that I've played around with it more, they're like coming up, you know? They're getting better and better.Corey: I am very impressed by a lot of stuff that Oracle Cloud is doing. With the disclaimer that they periodically sponsor this podcast. I think they're still doing that. That's the fun thing is that I have an editorial firewall. But I'm not saying this because they're paying me to say this; I'm saying it because I experimented with it.I was really looking forward to just crapping all over it. And it was good. And… “Who is this really? Like, did someone just slapping Oracle sticker on something pleas”—no. It's actually nice. But yeah, we should dive into that at some point.Randall: I want to say one more thing on global infrastructure, and I know we don't have a lot of time left, but even 800-gigabit-per-second networking on the Trainium instances, by the way now. Which is just mind-blowing.So, the fact that AWS has redone two-inch conduits—and I have this picture that I took at re:Invent that I can share with you later, if you want—of all their different fiber and, like, networking and switches and stuff. In aggregate, one of their regions has 5000 terabits of capacity. 5000 terabits. It's 388 unique fiber paths. It's just—it's absolutely fascinating, and it's a scale that enables the modern economy and the modern world.Like the app we're using to record this podcast, all of these things rely on AWS global infrastructure backbone, and that's why I think they charge what they charge for, you know, these networking services. They're recouping the cost of that fundamental investment. But now, last year they announced 100 gigabytes free for S3 and non-CloudFront services, and then one terabyte per month for free from CloudFront. So, that's a huge improvement. It's a little late, but I mean, they got it done.Corey: I do want to the point of transparency and honesty, the app that we're using to record this does, in fact, use Google Cloud. But again—Randall: Oh.Corey: —it's—yeah, again, it's one of the big ones, regardless. You can always tell which one is it, and not, “No, I'm running this myself on a Raspberry Pi.” Yeah. There's a lot that goes into these things. Honestly, I think the big winners in all this are those of us who are building things on top of these technologies—Randall: Yes.Corey: —because I can just build the ridiculous thing I want to and deploy it worldwide without signing $20 million of contracts first.Randall: Yeah. And going back to your point about multi-region stuff, I think that's getting better and better over time. There's some missteps. So like, let's take DynamoDB global tables, for instance—Corey: Which is not in every region, so it's basically this point, hemispherical tables.Randall: Well, even so, it's good enough, right? Like, it gives you the controls that you need to be able to slide that shared responsibility model and that shared cost model in the way that you need to. Or shared availability model. What is frustrating though, is that while this global availability is getting better and better from a software perspective, it's getting harder and harder from a code perspective. So, actually writing the code to take advantage of some of this global infrastructure is imperfect. And Forrest Brazeal, from Google Cloud, he spoke a little bit about this recently, and we had a cool Twitter discussion.Corey: Fantastic. I'm a big fan of Forrest. I'm glad that he found a place to land. I'm sad that it's not in the AWS ecosystem, but here we are.Randall: I mean, I'll follow that man anywhere. He's the Tom [Lehrer 00:31:48] of cloud. Just glad he's still around to keep making some cool stuff.Corey: I don't want to know what I am of cloud, ever. Don't tell me. Talk about it amongst yourselves, but don't tell me. Randall, I want to thank you for taking the time to speak with me. It is always a pleasure. If people want to learn more about what you're up to, where can they find you these days?Randall: caylent.com. I'm going to be writing a bunch of AWS blog posts on there, so go there. Also go to Twitter, @jrhunt on Twitter.And if you need help building your cloud-native apps and some DevOps consulting, or just a general 30-minute phone call to understand what you should do, reach out to me; reach out to Caylent. We're happy to help. We love taking these conversations and learning what you're building.Corey: And we will, of course, put links to that in the [show notes 00:32:30]. Thank you so much for taking the time to speak with me. I appreciate it.Randall: Thank you for having me on. It's great to see you.Corey: Until the next time.

Before @Infinite would take over the internet with his YouTube channel where he posts everything from list videos, to reactions, to gaming clips. Before Infinite would begin dating fellow YouTube superstar, Kiera Bridget, this past year. I actually met these two kids at a 2020 New Year's Eve party and let me just tell ya these two lovebirds couldn't keep their hands off of one another. Before Infinite would have over 114K followers on Twitter, over 1.4 Million followers on Instagram, and almost 20 Million subscribers on YouTube across two different channels at the time of this recording. Infinite or his previous handle of Infinite Lists real name @Caylus Cunningham and if you haven't been paying attention this kid has dominated the YouTube game and has come a long way from his early years where he was living in a trailer and later working as a pizza boy. He's seen massive exponential growth since he first hit 100,000 subscribers back in 2016 -- and it all started with water bottle flips.

Neste Gambiarra Board Games Gustavo Lopes e Carolina Gusmão falam sobre o jogo de tabuleiro Caylus, um dos grandes clássicos de alocação de trabalhadores, cuja versão Caylus 1303, uma derivação "simplificada/streamlined" do Caylus, foi lançada no Brasil pela Galápagos Jogos. Vamos comentar nossa experiência com o jogo, em especial a forma como o jogo se modifica de partida para partida conforme os jogadores ditam o passo do jogo, apesar de ser um jogo com zero sorte e praticamente nenhuma variação de setup (exceto por 6 peças iniciais que são fixas, mas podem ser colocadas no tabuleiro em uma ordem diferente). Isso e muito mais nesse episódio raiz. Nos destaques da semana: The Golden Ages, Ogre.

Those who demonstrate excellence in the office of overseer are worthy of high regard. How do we honor our pastors and other leaders? Good afternoon, Church. Happy birthday, America. Hey, if you have a Bible, open up to 1 Timothy 5:17-18. We'll be spending all of our time in that chapter and some of the surrounding chapters. First Timothy Chapter five, verses 17 and 18. We're continuing our series, preparing our hearts to be led as we are anticipating the future arrival of our next lead pastor and preparing our hearts to receive him, welcome him, honor him and encourage him in a way that's worthy, as God has laid out in these these verses that were about to read on how we can encourage our elders. Let me pray for us and we'll read the text. Please join me in prayer. Father, if we haven't stopped to hear you say you love us today, would you slow us down? Would you remind us of your grace that's always present, of your spirit that resides in us, of your sovereignty, God, that you don't sleep nor slumber nor grow weary, that there's millions of people in this world and they could be praying and you're not overwhelmed nor do your resources run out, that Jesus is alive today making intercession for us even as we speak, advocating to the father. We thank you, God, that all that we need for life and godliness is provided in you. Help us not to put in earthly treasures; help us not to put in temporal things. Give us eyesight for that which is spiritual, that which is eternal. Help us invest more wisely our time, resources and energy. Lord we surrender, we give it back to you if we've taken it from you because you own everything, even our hearts. Even if it's a small piece, God, we repent. We ask that you would invade and permeate every ounce. We love you. We thank you. Jesus name. Amen. All right. So first, Timothy, chapter five. And you guys have it, but I can't see it, but that's OK. Chapter five, verses 17 and 18. It says, Let the elders who rule well be considered worthy of double honor, especially those who labor in preaching and teaching for the scriptures say you shall not muzzle and ox when it treads out the grain and the laborer deserves his wages. Let me start by asking a question. Right. We're talking about preparing our hearts for the next lead pastor at Calvary. If I said, what were you looking for in the next lead, pastor? What qualities, characteristics? What would you say? Don't say it aloud. Maybe you thought of something. It's in your head right now, whatever it is. Initially, if it was like, hey, I wish he was taller or whatever, you know, whatever it is, think about what that is. Maybe some of you said, you know, I wish the next guy was a great orator, that he would just be able to woo us with his words, weave these tales, engage us not just with our heads, but our hearts as well. I wish he was a great speaker. Maybe you're saying I wish he would come from a large church because he would have that experience and that background, know how to handle systems, know how to draw the masses towards us, know how to put things in place to grow us. Maybe you said, I wish he was highly educated. He knew Greek and Hebrew back and forth, Aramaic and he could recite it. He knows it so much, he says in his sleep and I wish he came from the top Christian university. Maybe you're thinking I wish the guy was an author because then he can sign my books, you know. Or he looked the part, that when he walked into the room, that guy commanded respect, that that guy commanded a sense of an air about him. They're like, I want to get to know him. I want to listen to what he has to say. Or maybe you're saying this. I just hope he's not boring. Right. I see you guys sleeping out there. I'm kidding. Your like, I wish, I just want to stay awake and stay engaged. I want to have my emotions stirred, affections moved, I want to have my heart pricked and whatever else you may have added. Maybe that's some of the things you did say. Maybe you didn't. What are some of the qualities or some of the things that came to your mind when I ask that question? I want you put a pin in that and I'm going to share a story. This past Christmas, we exchanged gifts. I'm more of a practical gift giver, like, give me a shovel, give me something to use. I don't want a pillow pet, you know, or a snuggly or whatever they call, you know, I want something that I can use and its not going in the garage sale next year. I do like sentimental gifts though. If you walk by my office, there's a mannequin leg that's hanging in my room. There's a great story behind it. But that's one of my favorite gifts two years ago, three years ago. My favorite gift last year was this piece of wood right here. The story behind this was I had a tree that I cut down and I was splitting it. I cut it down with a chainsaw and then I was breaking it apart for firewood and my son comes running out. This is sometime in the summer, late fall maybe. And he's like, Dad, Dad. He's like my sister asked me to help her with a project. And I need you to cut out a piece of wood for me, like your sister. And you were happily getting out here on a nice day. Why isn't she out here? That sounds kind of fishy. No, no, no. It's for her. Trust me. I'm like, whatever. And so I cut this piece of wood out. Here you go. And he takes it. Thanks, my sister will really appreciate that. And he runs off. I never see this piece of wood again for several months. I don't know how long it was right. And unbeknownst to me, my son went to somebody else's house. He sanded it - it's still kind of jagged. It's really heavy. He sanded it. He stained it and he wrote or he used some epoxy to put some lettering on it and what he did is he wrapped this for Christmas and he put it under the tree and I think he was waiting and watching to see if I would notice this hunk of tree underneath the Christmas tree. And I had no clue. And then as Christmas came, he got the present. He gave it to me, look what I got you. And I still don't recognize it because it was so early in the year that he did this. I mean, he was ahead of the game. Right. And I was like, that looks familiar. Why does that look strangely familiar. It's really heavy. I go, is this. He goes, yeah. I go, Oh, cool. You got me a cutting board, right? I was like, nice. This is will last the rest of my life. And then I begin to open it and was a very first present I opened on Christmas and as I opened it I read these words: The Christian faith, simply stated, reminds us that our fundamental problem is not moral, rather our fundamental problem is spiritual. It is not just that we are immoral, but that a moral life alone cannot bridge what separates us from God. Herein lies the cardinal difference between the moralizing religions and Jesus' offers to us. Jesus does not offer to make bad people good, but to make dead people alive. Signed Ravi Zacharias. If you guys know who Ravi Zacharias is, let me take a moment to explain who he is. Ravi Zacharias is a great orator. The man can wordsmith like nobody else's business. He travels all around the world, or he did - he's passed now and he would speak. I remember one of his first ever trips was in Vietnam. He spoke to the soldiers. He spoke to the Viet Cong. Anybody that would listen to him, he gave them the gospel in danger of being shot at occasionally. And since that point, he would jet all around the world, Africa, Asia, universities. He was at Ohio State. He was at Iowa. He would go to hostile areas, places where religion or especially Christianity, is not welcomed. And he would speak at prestigious universities. He would speak to dignitaries. He spoke to the UN prayer breakfast. The man was a great speaker. The man had a huge following. Millions of people were probably influenced by him around the world in his decades plus ministry. He was highly educated. Check that box off. Studied at some of the best universities. Talk about writing books. He wrote dozens upon dozens, many of which I purchased and read from him and he looked the part. I've actually met Ravi Zacharias. One time I met him at Moody. He's about this tall, so he's taller and he has this crown of white hair. It's like the crown of wisdom that sits upon his brow. And when he walks into the room, you can look up to him and he looks different and he stands out. But then he has that command. If you've ever heard him, you're like, oh, this is a giant among men. And he wasn't boring. I don't recall a time where I was listening to him where I fell asleep or was not engaged based on his storytelling abilities, based upon how he would make the most complicated, controversial questions and make sense. Like you've ever had a doubt about your faith. You ever had a question about Christianity? He would weave it and say it, not like in a manipulative way, but like, whoa, that's true. I resonate with that. He passed away not too long ago and postpartum, they found out that he lived in the end of his years. He struggled with some moral things. When I opened this up it was the first gift I got for Christmas. And I bawled like a baby because I knew a hero of my faith was taken down. He stumbled. I just cried. I didn't finish reading it. My favorite gift that Christmas. When we look for things in leadership, especially in spiritual leadership, we're looking for more than just abilities and talents. We're looking for spiritual virtue and integrity. I like the fact that he made this plaque because it represents to me, it's heavy, it's jagged, it's not finished. And the burden for leadership is like that. In fact, James says this, James 3:1, not many of you should become teachers my brother's for you know that we who teach will be judged with greater strictness because you're the example. I don't know how many people knew Ravi and potentially walked away, struggled, doubted. Or simply checked out. In fact, maybe, you know, people who are not going to church right now because they've been hurt by elders, they've been hurt by leaders, they've been hurt by somebody in the church, and they're just floating, coasting. Maybe you're barely here yourself. That's why it's so important that leaders not only have these skill sets, which are important. Ravi was a great man and I am still impacted by him. And I pray that God's grace was even greater than his hiddenness of sin. When God raises a people to serve his church, he looks for those whose hearts are right with him. He's concerned not about, as I said, their abilities or talents, but their spiritual virtue. The most important quality, probably in a leader is who they are when no one else is looking. It's called integrity. For a man can not only preach, he must also live it. This is what the great preacher Charles Spurgeon describes as a good preacher and a bad Christian: quote: He preached so well and lived so badly that when he was in the pulpit, everybody said he ought to never come out again. And when he was out of it, they all declared he never ought to enter it again. What a man is will influence his followers to be fully committed to what he says. Let me say that again, what a man is, what he demonstrates, what he models, what he does when no one's looking, what a man is, will influence how his followers are committed to what he says. Teaching sets the nails into the mind, but example is the hammer that drives them deep into our thoughts. Well, what Paul here is doing in first Timothy is instructing Timothy to find elders that will rule well. So what is an elder? An elder, it's a general term, referring to those who are called overseers in chapter three verse one. The word there's overseer, someone who has command or is in charge of, but the same unbroken letter talking about the same person uses overseer and elder interchangeably in chapter five, verse 17. In fact, elder, overseer and pastor are all interchangeable terms that refer to the same office and the same person. So when you read that in Scripture, whether it's Timothy or Acts 20, those offices all had the same standard, the same strictness that they're judged by, as James would say. Maybe they function or maybe they feature different parts. The pastor focuses more on the shepherding and the feeding of the flock. The overseer functions more with the authority and the supervision of the church managing it, and then the elder, which doesn't just mean someone who is old, although it can mean that, but more spiritually, more specifically, it's somebody who is mature in the spirit, mature as a believer. Paul is calling the elders in Ephesus to rule well. The word here in Greek for rule means to stand first to set or place before in a presiding fashion, to be an example of, to preside over, to hold authority by leading. So an elder is someone who is spiritually mature and is responsible for taking care of the church. I think the emphasis, though, on this verse appears to be not on the verb of the adverb well. And I like how that verb is translated elsewhere to excellence or beauty, that an elder should lead with excellence or in a fashion that is beautiful. We'll come back to that. So where does it all start when we get an idea of what a good elder looks like? We have to go back to Chapter four. So if you just turn over one chapter in First Timothy, Chapter four starts in verse six. This, I think, is the root of what we're looking for. First Timothy chapter 4, verse 6: be a good servant of Christ Jesus. A qualified leader, firstly, is a qualified follower. A qualified leader, firstly is a qualified follower and a good servant dedicated to Jesus Christ. Well, what makes a good servant? The text following these verses or that verse gives us three indications of what a good minister does. Verses one through six of chapter four a good minister preaches the word of God. Verses seven through twelve. A good minister practices the word of God. Verses 13 through 16. A good minister progresses in the word God. See Ravi Zacharias - man that guy could preach. That guy could teach. Somewhere along the lines later in his life, he stopped practicing. Somewhere along the lines, he stuff progressing. Let me ask you a question, are you practicing? Are you progressing even a little bit, even incremental steps? So let's break this down one by one. A good minister preaches the word of God, starting in verse six. If you put these things before the brothers and the previous verses of Chapter four, he's talking about a warning against fables and false doctrine that's been creeping in, being Bereans. If you put these things for the brothers, be a good servant of Christ, Jesus being trained in the words of faith and the good doctrine that you have followed. So a good teacher identifies that which is false or misleading, preaches and trains the congregation, his brothers and sisters up in admonition and encouragement and God's word. Secondly, the good minister practices the word of God. I'm going to focus in on verse eight of Chapter four here, Paul transitions to an analogy of athleticism. He says this is my verse for exercise, my life goal. For while bodily training is of some value (Phillipians says very little) godliness is a value in every way as it holds promise for the present life and also for the life to come. So he says, when you look at athletes, right, the Olympics are coming up. They started in Greece, so they would have some maybe competitions going on. When you see an athlete, when I've seen these track sprinters, do you know that these people seclude themselves away for a year or two in places where they like: I have to not watch TV because it's too much a distraction? I got to run this much. I have to eat this much. I can't do this. I can't do that. They are so disciplined because they know they're playing and competing at the best. Elsewhere scripture says run to acquire the prize, right. And right here a good elders will call to. And by the way, all believers are called to. The elders are supposed to be the example and are called to a stricter level. It says we should strive. We should be like an athlete who puts aside distractions. In fact, it says in verse ten of chapter four for this end we toil and strive. That works strive there is agonise, in English the word, agonize. We need to be stretching so much that it's causing even some discomfort or pain to pursue that which is holy, that which is good, that which is godly, that we are practicing. You know, as an athlete, you know, I don't like running. I just don't. I had to chase the ball, otherwise I just won't run. Right. So baseball and football. All right. Soccer, that was too much. But I would be so tired unless I, but then when I put my mind to it and I got into it, I actually enjoyed it. And it's the same thing as Christians. We are supposed to be striving and pursuing and training like an athlete does. And exercising, living out and practicing, not just reading, not just hearing, not just teaching, but putting into practice. Now, let's define what godliness is. Godliness is a proper response to the things of God, which produces obedience and righteous living. When you interact, when you meet, when you are in relationship with God, he's naturally going to woo and encourage you into a relationship where you be encouraged. You'll be desiring to walk in obedience. It says that we loved him because he first loved us. His grace encourages and admonishes us. And it says here that godliness is also profitable, not just for the now, but also for the future. Let me give an example of that. So one of the qualifications for an elder in Chapter three is to not be quarrelsome. Somebody is not quarrelsome as a peacemaker. Somebody's that's not quarrelsome, is more concerned about other people than their own. Let me put it a different way. Somebody who is not quarrelsome, is more concerned about understanding than being understood. Somebody who is not quarrelsome, is looking to reconcile even when it costs something. Somebody who is not quarrelsome will rebuke or turn away I should say, a harsh answer or harsh question with a soft answer. Somebody who is not quarrelsome is looking to find a solution, not start more strife. In fact it says in First Corinthians that a sign of immaturity and infancy is somebody who brings division, serves up strife, causes enmity. That person is actually spiritually an infant, that they are on the milk of the word still and they can't handle the meat. Somebody who is quarrelsome, causes fights is actually spiritually an infant. When I read that and I understood that I had to do some soul searching guys. Because it's easy for us to say that's not me, that's my defense, that's not me. And then if you're brave enough, ask other people and they'll tell you hey, do you think I'm quarrelsome and if they don't answer right away, the answer is probably yes, they just don't want to quarrel with you right now. But here's the thing when you're not quarrelsome. So here's the promise of godliness. And the blessing of it is when you recognize and you work on that. You know what happens when you when you when on it? You have less conflict, needless conflict, with people over small, infinitesimally nominal things. You focus on the big things. Ok, I'm going to - this is not in my notes. When I venture off, I get in trouble sometimes. I wish sometimes we would stop the fighting amongst ourselves and we'd fight towards winning more souls for Christ. I wish we would focus less on our differences and we'd focus on our common ground in our common salvation in the Lord Jesus Christ, I wish there was more energy being poured into those who don't know Jesus and those who are hurting and need serving, than the people go, you know what? I don't like how you said that creed or you're this ism or this schism. And I just I just find that to be unproductive. So not only does it - and I don't think conflicts bad, I think sometimes conflict can resolve the lack of intimacy and remove the obstacles that keep me and you from going deep in a relationship. And here's the thing. When people offend me and I forgive them or vice versa, you know what happens? We get closer sometimes. May take some time. But now I have struggles that I have wrestled through with them and we're still together. That bond grows and I know I'm wrong and I need tp be open to being wrong and being corrected. And I need you guys to help me with that as well. And you need vice versa. But that's the blessing that we grow closer in relations and more intimate. And here is the future promise. What if our neighbors saw what we did? What if right now there's somebody in your mind? You know what my neighbor is the one I have a quarrel with. Yep, I don't like their dog or their kids are too loud or they're always playing that loud music late at night, you know? And I just last time they came over or last time I saw them. I just gave them a mean look and I said something. I whispered it and they heard me this time, you know, whatever. And what you need to do maybe is go over to your neighbor and ask for forgiveness and reconcile with them, own up to it and say, you know what, I'm sorry I did that. I lost my cool. I want to work on it. Can you please forgive me? And what happens is when we're less quarrelsome, we draw people into the kingdom, we're more like Christ. We're less pushing or more pulling inviting and drawing. And someday somebody come to you. You know what? You may think this is a big deal, but when you said this to me, when you did that to me, I just I couldn't get out of my mind that you were like that. And I want to know why you didn't lose your cool when everybody else in this world is. And you weren't quarrelsome. So there's future promises living in a godly life now and I'm sorry, present promises and future promises in the future. You know, I'm going to stay here on this idea that he uses this athletic competition here. I was thinking about this. It got me thinking actually of the game of soccer, even though don't play soccer because soccer is known as the beautiful game. I've got on mission trips across the world. You know, the most famous sport is soccer. You'll find it everywhere. You can take trash bags. There it is. Boom. Go. And I'm playing against these little kids - they are like this small. And I try to keep up and they're just too good. Right. And everywhere. It's known as the beautiful game. You know why it's called the beautiful game partly was because of Pele, which you see here doing the bicycle kick. He was an exceptional soccer player. That word for really well, for elders, it's a Greek word, CAYLUS, which can mean exceptional or excellent or beautiful. He didn't coin the phrase, but he really encapsulated it because when he would play, he would do things that you would watch and go, that is amazing. He makes it look easy. He does it with such joy. He does it so that it makes it look beautiful. Maybe it's not athletics, maybe it's a composer. Maybe you listen to music and when you listen with your eyes closed and you can put yourself in the orchestra pit and you hear and you see all that's going on, you begin to weep because the music is moving your soul, whatever it may be. I'm here watching. I don't like dancing. Well, I do like dancing. I'm watching dancing show. And they do this contemporary dance and there was no words and they just were dancing on the floor. And I was like, I totally am tracking with the song and with what's going on and the story they're telling through dance. And I was I was like, that was beautiful. As much as there are people. And I love Ravi and I do believe God's grace is big enough. I hope one day I have a face to face conversation with him and thank him for what he did. But he did leave a blemish. He left a tarnish because he didn't rule towards end of his life. For every people that's like that. There are Christians who are living a beautiful life and are drawing people like Pele, drawing people to soccer. There are Christians in this church who draw people to Christ. Let me give you some qualifications that they lay out in First Timothy Chapter three of qualifications for overseer's elders and preachers. They need to be above reproach, need to be blameless. They need not do anything that would ever bring a mark against God's glory, God's church that would discourage somebody from coming to Christ, above reproach. Husband of one wife. You know, it's beautiful. And literally there it means in a Greek. He's a one woman man. I am a one woman man. You know what's beautiful is when you see an elder who not only preaches on this, but then you go in his home and you see him love his wife well. I share this earlier and I'll share it again this service. There was a person in our church that I respect a lot. And it was it was really, really like in passing. And his wife calls out of the blue and just how he answered the phone, how he was respectful. I was like, you sound like you're still dating her and you've been married like a long time. And I was just in wow. Of how gentle, how beautiful his conversation with his wife. And I was like, I want a marriage like that. That was beautiful. I didn't say this to him. So he still doesn't know it. But people are watching. There are lives that struggle. But an elder needs to be above reproach. He needs to be have that beautiful game for lack of a better term, like Pele in soccer, able to teach hospitable, gentle, not violent. Here's the other half. Not a lover of money, it's more blessed to give than to receive. Even though this text, we don't talk about how a pastor is worthy of his wages. He's not to be overwhelmed or driven by the love of money. Manages his household well. You know, what is beautiful as a youth pastor. I love it when I see kids in families. I love it when I see them get along. I love it when I see them even go through tough moments. You know why? Because those tough moments lead to like the iron sharpening iron. I know it's not like it sounds cliche, but it grows that family. It's sanctifies your love for one another. I know kids want to have good relationships for their kids. I know parents do as well. And we have a lot of help to do that. But I'll be the first to say it's tough sometimes, but when they manage your house well, it's a beautiful thing, is it not, when you see, like in - not only that - there's people out there who are nonbelievers when they say, hey, your kids talk to you, your kids do this. And I'm like, yeah. And I'm like, what do you do? What's your secret? I go, It's right here in the Bible. You want it? And they're like - no, something else. It's not working for you? Is it, you know? But it's a beautiful thing. Upright, somebody who is upright is concerned about justice, making sure that people who are not not able to advocate themselves, they're being advocated for. Somebody who's holy is not somebody who has one foot in the world and one foot in Christ. They are solely, single-mindedly committed to God. Understanding that, hey, I have my doubts. Yeah, I struggle, but I am all in as best I can. Lord, help me with my unbelief. Lord, I fear right now. It's because my minds off of you. Help me to fear the living God and not the not the creation. It's a beautiful thing when an elder obeys and follows through as God laid out in his word. Let's continue on in verse. Or the last part was progresses in the word. If you talk about preaching the word, practices the word - critical, and progressing in the word. Verse twelve. The second half: set the believers an example in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith and purity. That's the example. That's the standard that the elder is supposed to do. He is the model to which we model ourselves after which points to Christ. Then in verse fifteen. Practice these things, immerse yourself in them so all may see your progress, that you're maturing, you're growing, and keep a close watch on yourself and on your teaching. Every single thing you invest yourself in people you invest yourself in God, you invest yourself in the Holy Spirit. Some of you guys may say, John, this sounds like a high calling because it is. You know what I think that the scriptures saying here is we're not looking for the perfect elder. We're looking for the elder who has a perfect person in him because there's no such thing as a perfect person. But there's a perfect Holy Spirit who works in you and through you and sanctifies and matures you in your walk. We're not looking for somebody who is using their own strength, but somebody who is relying upon the spirit, growing, preaching, practicing and progressing, even if it's incremental. In closing, let's go back to Chapter five verse seventeen. So that's the elders who rule well. Let them be considered worthy of double honor. The word there for honor can mean respect or high regard. All elders by default should receive respect because of what they do, what they're held accountable to, and we don't always see what they do. A lot of things happen behind the scenes, guys. A lot of people are calling and asking for help and counseling. And I know our leaders are there doing a great job. They're worthy of honor, but those are worthy of double honor I think they're also talking about not just respect in high regard, but renumeration, because in context, he talks about for the scripture says you shall not mussel an ox when it turns out the grain as that ox is making food for the farmers, he says let the ox eat as well. And then he quotes Jesus here. The laborer deserves his wages. So double honor as in renumeration and high respect, especially those who labor in preaching and teaching, those who teach the word of God and those who proclaim it. Let me give you an example of what that may look like. I didn't know this, but the Medal of Honor, I knew was the highest award you could receive in our armed services. But I didn't know a lot of these things. And I'd like to share a couple of stories with you in closing. This is actually the first African American who received the Medal of Honor in United States history. This is William Harvey Carney. He was awarded the Medal of Honor. He was born a slave in Virginia, but eventually made his way to freedom in Massachusetts. When the Union Army began accepting volunteers he joined the Fifty Fourth Massachusetts Infantry Regiment, the first African American unit organized by the northern states though it was led by white officers. You ever seen the movie Glory? It is based on that. The 54th Massachusetts Infantry Regiment, led by Robert Gould Shaw was tasked with taking Fort Wagner, a beachhead fortification that guarded the southern approach to the Charleston Harbor. A previous attack on it failed, and the fifty fourth was chosen for the next attempt. As the soldiers storm the fort walls, the union flag bearer was killed. Carney grabbed the flag, held it for the duration of the battle. Carney, along with the rest of the 54th was forced to retreat. And throughout the battle, Carney never lost possession of the flag despite suffering multiple injuries. He says, quote, Boys, I only did my duty. The old flag never touched the ground, he said at the battle. Carney was awarded the Medal of Honor in nineteen hundred, years after it ended. Imagine walking in his shoes. Let me share one more story. This is Jason Dunham. Jason Dunham was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor for sacrificing himself to save his fellow Marines during the Iraq war. Dunham's unit was conducting a patrol in Hassiba, Iraq, when a firefight erupted nearby. His unit was ordered to intercept cars in the area that had been spotted in the attack. As Dunham approached the vehicle to search it, an insurgent jumped out and engaged him in hand-to-hand combat. After wrestling the insurgent to the ground, Dunham noticed that he pulled the pin of a grenade and dropped it. Dunham, immediately and without hesitation, covered the grenade with his helmet and body bearing the brunt of the explosion and shielding his Marines in the blast, Dunham was mortally wounded but saved the lives of two Marines. He was evacuated to the National Naval Medical Center in Bethesda, Maryland in a coma. After it was determined he would not recover. He was taken off life support and died later. This is the highest medal you can receive in the armed forces. Did you know also there's also renumeration that goes with it. Everyone who receives it receives a monthly check as a way of honoring the fallen, honoring those who sacrificed. It's the same thing with our elders. They deserve our respect. Both in high regards and renumeration, I think Colby does a good job and I appreciate their support. Let me leave you with this. Like the officers I mentioned, the last one, there is a beautiful man that will never let you down, who has always kept God's law that was perfect in his obedience and yet willingly laid his life on the on the line when he jumped on the grave of sin for you and me, took it willingly without hesitation, embraced it so you and I could have forgiveness of our sins and eternal life. That is what a beautiful man does. That is our good shepherd. Our high priest. He is our elder, our head elder, and if you don't know him and you're unsure of your relation with him, would you please do yourself a favor? Come talk to one of the pastors here. We will love talking more about how you can start a relationship with Jesus Christ and get to know what happens to be the most loving relationship you'll ever experience. Let's pray. Father, I thank you, Lord, for your word that gives us hope, that gives us encouragement, Lord, for your example of love, God, that as a husband I'm supposed to love my wife as Christ loved the church who preferred her, laid his life down for her and made her holy and blameless and presentable to God the father. That is what beautiful leadership looks like. I pray, Lord, for every husband here and every desiring husband to be here, that that's what we would do for that example, that we'd follow that. God for every believer here, God it says no man knows a greater love than to lay down his life for a friend. And you died for us, while we were enemies with you as Roman five says. But we thank you, God, that you are a holy, loving just and patient God. That is the most beautiful picture of love. May we never forget it when we're down and we're surrounded or deflated. That all we have for life and godliness is in you for both today and the future. Thank you. We love you, Jesus. In your name we pray. Amen.

Design often builds heavily on what has come before, but some designers, have made an art of iteration, taking their own beloved designs, and frequently reinventing them in new ways. We dig into this practice of extremely iterative design, and how it fits into an industry hungry for fresh ideas.

The Long View On this episode of The Long View, I am pleased to be joined once again by Joel Eddy and Jesse Dean as we sit down to discuss the classic game of Caylus (Shhhhh……somewhere, if you listen closely, Ryan Sturm just cheered and clapped his hands like an excited schoolgirl!). Joel, Jesse and I take a closer look at this classic worker placement game, and discuss such things as the theme, the optimal number of players, and why this game has been so popular for so long. Thanks to 2d6.org ...
