@jbeck4004 @NWSBayArea Thanks @jbeck4004! And nice to see you 😀

@MengTangmu I really appreciate your work on PostgreSQL, and especially the positivity around portability. Many projects are not so diligent about it.

[Dave Pacheco @dapsays]

@MengTangmu You're being kind! It wasn't supposed to be a roast and I was worried I got a little worked up... it was a painful period. Sorry for whatever caused the shouting 😆

Surprising absolutely no one, @ahl and I are going to pick this up on the next Oxide and Friends, where we'll be joined by @dapsays to discuss our history and disposition with respect to CockroachDB. Join us: Monday, 5p Pacific!

In building Omicron, the control plane at Oxide, we took inspiration from @caitie's resurrection of sagas, a 1980s-era database idea. On Monday, @ahl and I will be joined by @mycoliza and @dapsays to talk about our saga with sagas. Join us, 5p Pacific!

i've spent the last four months or so working on rewriting the parts of the @oxidecomputer control plane responsible for managing the lifecycle of VM instances on the rack, and i have to say, seeing this branch finally merge today feels *really* good: https://t.co/GLkYusBkMM

When we built the Oxide Cloud Computer, we wanted to rectify (no pun intended!) a major issue with traditional servers: power supply + efficiency.

Legacy infrastructure is wildly inefficient - each traditional server is individually plugged into power supplies converting AC to

You can add DTrace USDT probes to your Rust programs. Didn't know? Well neither did a bunch of our Oxide colleagues so we made some slides.

We’ve been working on this whole ecosystem of OpenAPI related Rust facilities—server framework, linter, client codegen, CLI codegen, test framework, etc. It’s got all the fussiness and brevity that I love about Rust.

I’m looking forward to talking about it in Austin!

If you're attending @QConSF next week and are interested in the challenges of networking in a rack-scale computer, you will want to be sure to check out the talk by Oxide engineer @rgoodfel!

[Dave Pacheco @dapsays]

@todoist Thanks for responding. It seems better today (not sure what's different). If the problem returns, I'll do that.

[Dave Pacheco @dapsays]

@todoist since some time this afternoon, in the Todoist app, empty sections are showing up as giant blank spaces. Busted update?
