In a new article, @kirshatrov shares a technique for safely breaking down the (MySQL) database cost of each downstream service's API calls by having the database return cost information so that the downstream service can log it.

In this month's Developer Spotlight, I spoke with Somtochi Onyekwere from Fly for The Consensus.
She's contributed to Kubernetes itself, Kubernetes projects at Weaveworks, and now works on distributed databases at Fly.
There is no paywall, I hope you enjoy hearing from her!

Started a little blog for behind the scenes on The Consensus.
Here's how The Consensus beats LWN for data size transferred (and how LWN could in turn improve their own transfer sizes and beat The Consensus).

Mojo is a new proprietary systems language, often referred to as a superset of Python. It requires a non-trivial amount of massaging before it can run what looks like Python code. But the direction is promising.

My article on finding types in jq programs is out of early access! Even without explicit type annotations, programs carry around ample type information, we just need to leverage them.

jq's error messages can be confusing, but gradual typing makes these errors more scrutable. Written by @Keleesssss. (Paywall has expired, article is available for all to read.)

I've wanted to look at Mojo for quite some time. It is definitely not yet a superset of Python. But with that seeming to be a goal and with the standard library being open-source there is a very clear area for you to go and contribute to a well-funded major programming language.

If you're a CS grad student in the US, I'll pay you a small fee to write for The Consensus. I'm especially looking for articles that compare the state of research to the state of what devs do in practice, because there are often interesting discrepancies.

My (first, and hopefully one of many!) article on The Consensus is live! I talk about my efforts in inferring jq types without annotations, the process, the challenges, the methods. Take a look if you’re interested👇🏻

In a new article for The Consensus, @Keleesssss discusses the challenge of making sense of error messages in jq, and how jq's error message can be made more useful with gradual typing.
