It's so depressing how effective and unquestionable this stance has been in Israeli politics
The Daily Show reminded us in the montage below how Netanyahu has LIED about the "imminent" threat of Iran obtaining nuclear weapons since 1995. Netanyahu has for years wanted US to bomb Iran. Netanyahu simply found in Trump a moron willing to sacrifice Americans for his cause:
IDK why I find request hedging so cool, but finally made it work with the `object_store` crate github.com/spiraldb/obj...
Anyone who worked on @patrickhwillems.bsky.social's Bollywood video should be paid more to write more. It's one of my favorite things over the past few years, watched it like five times at this point. youtu.be/BSRddWXSAA4
I just realized he also wrote the TENET and "Everything is content now" videos, which are both things that express my thoughts better than I could ever hope to. youtu.be/hAtbFwzZp6Y youtu.be/ZStkUxC4iL4
I'm somewhat biased as I'm personally invested in Vortex (work for the company that originated it) and a fan of Polar Signals, but continuous profiling in production is just a must in any non-trivial software deployment, it's just so powerful
A simple 50-line code change saves us 30% of CPU across our whole infrastructure. This is the magic of system-wide profiling with @polarsignals.com. Easy to spot, easy to fix.
@rust-lang.org folks, whats the best way to hold a security sensitive string in memory? I'm tempted to to just rollout my own wrapper with zeroize and safe Display/Debug implementations but I'm wondering if there's a well maintained crate out there.
@hankgreen.bsky.social I hope you understand that your suggestion on your last video to declare a new timezone that isn't just defined by an offset from UTC+some daylight savings time is deep existential horror content for basically every programmer out there.

Last month I worked on Apache Iceberg integration for Vortex, the results of which we presented earlier this month at Iceberg Summit. I wrote a post about my experience bridging our Rust-based system to Iceberg and Spark spiraldb.com/post/vortex-...
Wrote down some of my thoughts and lessons about working with object storage, especially if you want to get both high throughput and low latency. Spent so much time in the past ~5 years waiting on S3 requests, so hopefully this will help save others from similar fates. spiraldb.com/post/so-you-...
so naturally, this might be my favorite PR github.com/spiraldb/vor...
