Worked on a project with similar goals [0]. By no means a production level implementation, but much of the system exists as a proof-of-concept. [0]: https://makedist.com/projects/cruzdb/

I can sympathize with this take. Although I'm generally fine with either async or sync--whichever is most efficient--it seems that individuals don't usually know which is right for them.

I'll take this further: I think that bad commit messages breed resentment. It's highly context dependent, but needing to understand some code and its historical context is already a big challenge. git-blaming your way back through

This is such an important feature that has a direct impact on code quality and time savings that I'm not sure why it isn't a priority feature. As a reviewer, having to choose between "review everything again" or "tr

Migrating away from a development model based on attaching patches to bugzilla tickets is sure to improve the development experience, especially for new contributes. Good move switching.

This sounds really similar to some of the work coming out of Vectorized on Redpanda [0]. They're building a Kafka API compatible system in C++ that's apparently achieving significant performance gains (throughput, tail latency) wh

I'm working on Rook+Ceph at Red Hat. Rook 1.0 was just released last week which added support for the very latest Nautilus release of Ceph.

If you are thinking about starting a Seastar project, definitely check out SMF [0]. It's a highly optimized RPC framework that uses Seastar, and makes it easy to build high-performance servers and clients. Seastar itself is RPC agnosti

In the latest release (0.9) Ceph in Rook has been declared stable.

This seems to serve a purpose similar to Rook [0] for deploying distributed (or non-distributed) storage systems, including database. For example, Rook can deploy CockroachDB and also Ceph, which would have a lot of the same challenges as d

Been using the cloud native version for about a year now, and I'm debating if I should renew. What are you using now if not YNAB?

the experience you have described that occurs after about 2 weeks is a very distinct state of mind. I find that I can to a certain extent reliability reproduce it (1) whenever I have a deadline and I'm procrastinating, (2) occasionally

This is the type of project announcement that gets me excited to work on my own open-source efforts. Congrats Drew, this is great.

Thanks. Our team is also remote, so we don't use whiteboards for collaboration. It seems like, at least here in SF, every room in any company that I go to has a whiteboard. One might then conclude they are indispensable, but I would re

I'm curious about how expensive the restructuring is, and importantly, can that be "scheduled": can i violate some conditions and then do the expensive restructuring at a time that is convenient?

I enjoyed reading this article. But at the beginning the author has this to say about objections to the MWI that are based on feeling: > "This objection is rightly dismissed by saying that an affront to one’s sense of propriety is n

I've been doing the exact same thing. And I think there is a lot of potential with google docs if combined with some of the google docs scripting capabilities to create a personal cms.

I _cannot_ wait to start playing around with this. It really does seem to tick off all the boxes I've been looking for. Do you have any plans / strategy / tips for handling video? I tend to watch a lot of conference talks an

I'd be interested in some more detail on this. What's the process look like and what are some common cases that this is useful.

One thing people talk about is the short-lived effects of DMT, and how they would like more time in the the DMT space. But as I understand it, your body doesn't build up a resistance to it. The DMTx [0] project is seeking to exploit th

Thanks for this write-up. I can't wait to see what comes out of the Legion projects next. One of the most exciting things I think that is going on.

It's hard to deny that there is at least some influence there. Like LogDevice, the zlog project [0] is influence by CORFU (separate sequencer, write striping), but both use different storage interfaces / strategies. [0]: https:&#

This is really cool. We are doing something similar with CruzDB [0], but we are using red-black trees. What made you choose the radix tree? We've looked at several persistent data structures, and continue to look for alternatives. [0]:

Nice! I have fond memories of studying the mechanics of futexes when PREEMPT_RT was under heavy development. It's been a long time since I thought about the kernel futex implementation, but IIRC, one of the most interesting aspects was
