@ohabryka @thiagovscoelho Sure, morally inclined questions have subjective answers based on your own option and values. The point is about attributing seemingly arbitrary probabilities to your feelings. Saying something has a 80% chance of happening based on a feeling means… nothing?

@MrRBourne Arguing over which place is objectively better for everyone is so tiring and 9/10 times rage bait. Anyone deciding where to live based on a Twitter thread is dumb. Both places have a lot to offer, and if you need pro-con list you won’t be happy in either.

It's been a long research, then OSS, and building journey, but launch day is finally here! 🚀 At Unikraft we're happy to announce KraftCloud, a next generation cloud platform , where cold starts, scale to 0 and autoscale take milliseconds -- never pay for idle again! Sign up (closed beta) at kraft.cloud/signup or read more about it in this blog lnkd.in/dUVXS4he . We also have cloud-prem or on-prem offerings.

Arenas are nice!
> To reduce the danger of memory leaks, PostgreSQL has implemented its own memory management system: memory contexts. Memory contexts are chunks of memory that can grow on demand. You never directly malloc() memory in PostgreSQL, but you request memory from a memory context. If necessary, PostgreSQL will extend the memory context.

@_chenson__ People take different things out of it, I guess. I enjoy trying to crack the problem as quick as possible. It’s fun. But I can see how someone wants to take it seriously. I don’t have the time to do that everyday so I’m fine with 30 minutes hacky code.
English

People saying it only takes 30 minutes each day suggests to me some combination of:
- much more skill than me at programming quickly
- messy code they don't clean up
- stopping before the hard days
- less experimenting with new languages
- less nice types/data structures

You guys do this advent of code shit all month? Are you grinding this at work or just not seeing your friends and family in December 👀

@VicVijayakumar At the very least it helps you understand how other developers think.

@VicVijayakumar It doesn't hurt to do so. I'm not willing to die on any side of the hill here, but I think it's a relevant book in our industry albeit polarizing. Reading to understand what the author believes in does not imply applying everything they say.

@lucasfresno Não peguei esse tempo, então é difícil de comparar. Mas o rateyourmusic.com tem isso também

Alright, it's happening. @HashiCorp ignored our pleas to keep Terraform open, so we created a fork called OpenTF.
We've submitted all the paperwork to add it to the Linux Foundation, and hopefully CNCF soon after.
Join us in keeping Terraform open!

Most of the career advice I see on this platform is not applicable to systems level software (OS, compilers, etc).
As I promised a cpl of weeks back, here's some tips from my career on how to develop your own career, including a real life story of how we hired @iavins :

@micahlerner I love that. Thanks for doing it. I feel like there is vacuum in content focusing on CS papers since Adrian stopped writing The Morning Paper (blog.acolyer.org).

I’ll be returning to streaming/writing about academic computer science next week after a short break - follow me on YouTube (@micah_reads_papers" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">youtube.com/@micah_reads_p…) or here to receive updates :)
I’ll be finishing up papers in my queue from OSDI, USENIX ATC, and other conferences earlier in the year.
I’ll also be reading a new crop of papers from SIGCOMM and (soon) my favorite conference, SOSP (Symposium on Operating Systems Principles).
Until then, here’s a picture of me eating smørrebrød (Danish open face sandwiches) in Copenhagen!
