@jacques_chester I'd like to pre-order please! Came on Twitter for the first time in months just now to ask for a book on things like CRDTs and Lamport clocks!

One of my new life ambitions is to write a book titled “Algorithms For People Who Are Dumb Like Me”, in which the explanations make sense the *first* time you read them and exercises don’t involve re-deriving related algorithms that took actual geniuses decades to discover

Can anyone recommend books that cover things like Lamport clocks and CRDTs in an engaging manner? Something as approachable as @munificentbob's Game Programming Patterns (but for distributed computing algorithms) would be ace if such a thing exists.

@Raspberry_Pi If the new Pi 5 experiences a power cut, will it automatically boot when power is restored? Or will the new power switch need to be pressed? My use case is a remote location with intermittent electricity. Losing power is fine, as long as the Pi boots on restoration.

@GarethPrice You okay mate? It looks like you might be getting a bit of cabin fever there. I hope you're well.

@dynamic_proxy I just signed into Twitter for the first time in a year to try and search for an old tweet. Your post on The Muppet Show has somewhat restored my faith in humanity after virtually everything in my feed being a RT of some horrific extreme view or other regarding Israel/Gaza.

I resigned from @EngineerBetter in may, and wanted to thank everyone that I am indebted to: linkedin.com/pulse/thanks-d… I'm working on barn conversions and eco-tourism for the moment. I probably won't be paying much attention to Twitter or LinkedIn.

Join Lade and Chisa of @EngineerBetter at Agile Cambridge to hear about their experiences of making experiments inside the organisation work: bit.ly/3wbQZZN #agilecam

Want something building? • Good • Fast • Cheap • Complicated You get to choose three.

Anyone going to #FullyChargedLive - the parking place is nowhere near the exhibition centre. Satnav will be misleading, and some local signage is missing. Finding it is a bit of a mission!

I've realised many years too late courtesy of @JplusCplusM: @concourseci resources should have had a forcing function in the interface to make authors to separate the contract of a resource from the implementation, and resources should have all come with mock implementations.

@FullyChargedShw Can you please use a high-pass filter on the audio of your YouTube videos? Something to cut out unintentional sounds <20hz or so. Watching them on a device with a subwoofer is quite uncomfortable. Lots of very loud noises when someone bumps into a mic/desk.

@DanielJonesEB @AlexEvade @shalako I also did some experimentation of generating CRDs from an OSBAPI catalog a long time ago. github.com/Samze/brokercr…

@DanielJonesEB @AlexEvade @shalako I wasn't involved in the original service-catalog k8s implementation of OSBAPI can't comment on that. Crossplane.io and Tanzu Application Platform both use the Claim analogy for Services using CRDs (non-OSBAPI though).

@wlamartin Have you seen what the folks at @MiaPlatform are doing? Has elements of StoryScript to it, but is closer to the low-level stuff.

Dagnammit - I just realised the OSBAPI and service brokers kinda missed the point. Brokers were concerned with how to provision and deploy the data services. What's most important is contract of how to consume each such service.

@gsiener @janloewenstein Yep, totally true! It's a bit like the term "Manager" in Java class names.

@DanielJonesEB @janloewenstein Naming is hard. I tell people to add a qualifier to the term “service.” Impossible to use that word on its own and convey your intended point

@jimmyhacksstuff How does datafort.io compare to Heimdall Data?

@dynamic_proxy I'm intrigued by Elden Ring and the hubbub around it, but I've never play a FromSoftware game. I'm fine with going through the Halo series on Legendary. How much harder/more frustrating than that is Elden Ring likely to be? I've got a job and kids, and my patience is short.

@AlexEvade @shalako @sam_gun @1mattmc True story: I still remember being impressed with how good @sam_gun was at presenting, the first time I saw him speak at a conference.

@DanielJonesEB @shalako @sam_gun or @1mattmc may know, but not in my time.

Did the OSBAPI community consider representing the binding flow as CRDs? I'm wondering if service access could be treated kinda like StorageClasses, PersistentVolumes, and PersistentVolumeClaims. Ping @AlexEvade and @shalako.

@arthfl Ha, kinda! Things like BOSH Links and dependencies on other releases would be cool to have, but with OCI images and Kubernetes primitives instead.
