They lock up the button after the ceremony, so Marissa and I could not unleash economic chaos by hitting it again. $TNTR

Our eng team has been kicking around the idea of allowing PR merges of unfinished/unreviewed backend code under feature flags, to allow more flexibility on reviews etc.

@markgritter and I would love to read blog posts/watch videos/hear from people who have done this!

[Mark Gritter @markgritter]

Neat! I was not aware of this either, although the idea of combining the name lookup with the first part of the handshake was something we explored in TRIAD. When you don't get DNS caching because you're using it for CDN/load balancing-ish reasons, that extra RTT is painful.

Sometimes I like to just sit and watch.

Packets, that is. And there are so many surprises even in a casual session, if you're paying attention!

Yesterday I was surprised to see in-the-wild a new-to-me DNS record type called HTTPS!

The video of talk from @strangeloop_stl is now available!

@matt_levine Wait, wasn't SBF exceeding his loss limit by risking $100 while already having an outstanding wager for up to $65 in losses?

Or is the loss limit just counterparty risk at settlement rather than a cap?

[P99CONF @P99CONF]

Debugging tail latencies requires unpacking abstractions that developers normally ignore. In his #P99CONF talk, @markgritter will describe how you can fix issues faster by knowing how to diagnose more sources of delay and failure. https://t.co/ondzJOMhWK

In less than three months since we got acquired, I'm excited to launch Akita's Act One at @getpostman. 🚀

I'm incredibly proud of our team for all the hard work it took to ship on this timeline. Grateful to be at a company so focused on moving quickly to help developers!

@d_feldman I'm fairly confident that building an LLM should count as commercial use.

Not like their corpora are carefully vetted for only legally obtained material anyway. https://t.co/miHQRokVuY LLM trained on legal purchases might have a leg to stand on, but that's not what we got.

[Mark Gritter @markgritter]

@d_feldman Yes because I own lots of index funds so surely one or more of them will pick it up. Who the hell knows what I bought and at what price, really.

Learned from @maxkreminski that there is a name for one of my favorite types of website: the Prof. Dr. Style. https://t.co/n39MkOH0Jr

@lazerwalker I remember one day we were living in Concord and it hit 100 (and our AC failed, naturally.) The BART ride into San Francisco we took to escape was a 40-degree drop in temperature.

@lacker That real estate developers use their own money!

The impact from this is way wider than initially thought — this is sending ripples across the whole tech sector!

@TimBank42787482 @whstancil @nycsouthpaw That is a rule they could change if it was the crisis that my Democratic Senators tell me this is. I guess I have arrived in the cynical camp here that they prefer having the crisis.

[Mark Gritter @markgritter]

@Slate Uh... Why ask political scientists and not lawyers?

[Mark Gritter @markgritter]

@UrsulaV Stacklands is a small crafting / deck building hybrid that might scratch that particular itch.
