This is a terrific piece on architecture. If I had read it earlier, I probably wouldn't have written mine. 🙃 https://t.co/BKtrGKuiAl by @chrisuhl

He points out that we have gotten much better at modularizing systems in the days since the architect role was invented.

There are only two hard problems in distributed systems: 2. Exactly-once delivery 1. Guaranteed order of messages 2. Exactly-once delivery

[Joe Gebbia @jgebbia]

Wishlist:
- messages that send instantly (eg: like every other messaging app)
- open an unread message and the next screen starts at the unread message (don’t make me scroll for it)
- accurate unread message badge counts (like every other messaging app)

Delighted to release the third edition of Programming Languages: Application and Interpretation (PLAI). A complete rewrite based on many years of research and experience. Because that research is still ramping up, this is just the start of many changes.

A couple weeks back, I did a talk titled "Distributed Systems Solve Only Half My Problems (and I have a lot of problems)" at HPTS'22. Talks at HPTS aren't recorded, so here's a summary of what I said.

[🔎Julia Evans🔍 @b0rk]

what are your strategies for figuring out bugs that you **can't** reproduce locally?

(other than the classic "guess at a fix, try it, repeat")

[Akshat Vig @akshatvig]

DynamoDB launched with the assumption that apps uniformly access data in tables. However we discovered workloads have non-uniform access patterns - over time & space. A twitter 🧵 explaining challenges faced & solutions built to magically adapt tables to changing traffic patterns

[Ankush Desai @ankushpd]

My talk on P and applying formal methods in practice is out. Gave a similar talk at #hpts, so if you missed it please check this out. The key idea I wanted to communicate was “importance of thinking abstractly and formally” and how P lowers the barrier to entry for developers
