@elonmusk I did have a helpful advisor in the store who made it tolerable

I bought my 3rd model S this year (ordered around Christmas 2024) and it was the most difficult experience ever. - It took a week to figure out if I was going to get financing thru Tesla - the rate I got was higher than the original estimate in spite of no credit problems - it made me decide to switch from a lease to a purchase w loan, and I used my own bank - it took me two months to get the car, although there were no unusual options

Please reply to this post with any difficulties you may have had in trying to buy a Tesla. Our goal is for the purchase and delivery experience to be fast and simple, with accurate answers to your questions. The key test is that you would recommend it to a friend.

@elonmusk I had the personalized plates from my old car and nobody helped me put them on my new one. I had to go back months later to the service dept to figure out the front plate

@grashalm_ @alina_yurenko You did see this one, right? x.com/aljwhite/statu…

@alina_yurenko Imperial Units weren't mentioned yet...

name one idea worse than daylight savings

@shaunmsmith @alina_yurenko @fniephaus @EricSedlar What’s the secret of Eric? It’s like Benjamin Button, he is getting younger and younger. Cool gang btw!

It's been more than 3 years from this talk already! Both @QuarkusIO and @graalvm evolved a lot: some of the limitations I mentioned are no longer applicable, and yet it's still very actual if you're interested in how Quarkus works internally. youtube.com/watch?v=za5CSB…

@CedricChampeau After the season 5 finale when the Martian ship (Barkeith IIRC) gets vaporized in the ring I was hoping for way more on what happened.

@CedricChampeau I disagree on the finale. I love the Expanse and it's an awesome show, but I think they could have done so much better with season 6 and esp the finale. Rather than the plot with the kids we could have gone a lot more into what was going on with the angry entities in the gate

How much to reserve one?

@grashalm_ @kellabyte @lukaseder Totally agree that developer-friendliness needs to be really good.

@kellabyte @lukaseder GraalVM can redirect OS calls of languages to the DB. Does this make it a container system?

I spend a lot of time thinking about server and database architectures and if we could do it all over again and ditch our prejudices what would we come up with? I constantly return to some kind of thought where code is running on the database server local to the data & local txn

@grashalm_ @kellabyte @lukaseder A @graalvm stored procedure engine is just the first step. No good reasons to keep code away from data when we have scale-out distributed databases.

@grashalm_ @kellabyte @lukaseder What we want to do with @graalvm is to allow it to subsume the entire SQL execution, so that you could write Java8 lambdas, have the query optimizer rewrite them, and execute them as efficiently as user code. Plus, we want a more complete programming model.

@grashalm_ @kellabyte @lukaseder Row-wise user-defined functions and stored procedures have also generally been really slow relative to code that is written natively by the engine's authors

@grashalm_ @kellabyte @lukaseder @lukaseder : You have to think beyond language to the programming model. Today, database stored procedures can't do things like build up a cache in a place that will exist on the next procedure invocation, because the database optimizer wants the freedom to reorder execution

@ChrisGSeaton @codefolio From the reviewer selfish POV it’s less work if you looked at a paper before, and I have yet to meet a PC member that likes more work

@codefolio Do you think you get penalised for submitting multiple talks to the same conference? I've never been sure about it. I've reviewed where one person has submitted four or so and it starts to seems silly.

One really easy RailsConf submission made, at least one more to go. Though really I should submit more than two: this RailsConf has *two* tracks that are just *yelling* my name.
