AI: virtually no subject provokes such vitriol in my communities. I can grant the haters many of its harms, but their solutions leave much to be desired. I fear for the future even as I wonder at the future we are living. And so, dear hater, I must write: shaping.systems/blog/ai-suck...

About a month ago I gave a talk at Tokioconf on what shared-nothing and work-stealing are, and how migrating our stack from nginx+lua to rust and tokio massively improved our performance ...because of work-stealing! check it out the recording here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=6QN3...

It's on apt. It's literally on Cargo. It's on DockerHub with ads. It's literally on nuget. You can probably find it on snap. Dude it's on portage. It's a Homebrew original. It's on pacman. You can download it on nixpkgs. You can go to pkgsrc and watch it. Log onto the Windows Store right now.

this is also true in engineering

the google sre book is like das kapital you're supposed to pretend to have read them, and make smart-sounding references that don't require you to have actually read either if, however, it comes to light that you have actually read either, then you are now a Huge Nerd and Massively Uncool

ok so im gonna have to be the one to ask what is it about writing parsers that people find enjoyable? and more importantly, why is it that the only people who seem to enjoy this all have some gender going on?

i think my worst trait is that my approach to software is very similar to my approach to cooking: i really hate the idea of buying anything that i know how to make myself

open protocols also means a person tied to the government can't use the platform as a closed garden of government pro-regime propaganda because people can pack up their data and go to a new PDS. istg people don't want solutions to the problems they're fleeing, because solutions have trade-offs

Key exchange is a different story: collect-now-decrypt-later attacks might already be relevant today, and the answer is clearly ML-KEM-768 (with a hybrid if available). Move key exchange to PQC, not signatures. Unless it takes you > 10 years to roll a key, in which case: SLH-DSA.

NIST released a draft of a non-binding document (IR 8547 ipd) saying they plan to disallow non-PQC in 2035. 2035 is ten years from now, there's no need to rush anything right now. csrc.nist.gov/Projects/pqc... is still running and large ecosystems are still figuring out what/how to deploy.

posted on my mastodon instance earlier, but i should probably do so here as well: i managed to grab a ticket to CCC from the public sale round this morning!!! i look forward to seeing everyone!

waiting for the inevitable Elongated Muskrat twitter rant about how removing ReiserFS from the linux kernel is an example of Woke & DEI ruining everything and that he is now running ReiserFS and you should be too

Of course thats your contention. Youre a 1st year programmer. You just got finished writin some REST backend, node.js probably. Youre gonna be convinced of that til next month you get to Rob Pike and then youre gonna be talkin about goroutines and message passing and how concurrency isnt parallelism

what the fuck is that

I really, truly, wish Rust leadership would just stop trying to create more designs for radical changes in the language. And instead work on finishing things that were half started.

apparently my "use the force to detect production issues" technique is frowned on by sre, who would rather i rely on such imprecise methods such as "metrics and alerting"

When I see a configuration language that advertises itself as “Turing complete” I feel like I am living in the fever dream of a madman

Mr. Bond, I have strategically deployed several unlicensed instances of Oracle Database 19c to the infrastructure of every Five Eyes member state. In exactly one hour I shall be notifying Oracle's legal department of these events. I suggest you sit back and relax, Mr. Bond. Enjoy the show.

Out of solidarity with the Linux Kernel and an awareness of how hard it is to assess whether something is a vulnerability, I have decided to issue a CVE for every commit I have ever written and published.
