Surprising absolutely no one, @ahl and I are going to pick this up on the next Oxide and Friends, where we'll be joined by @dapsays to discuss our history and disposition with respect to CockroachDB. Join us: Monday, 5p Pacific!

In building Omicron, the control plane at Oxide, we took inspiration from @caitie's resurrection of sagas, a 1980s-era database idea. On Monday, @ahl and I will be joined by @mycoliza and @dapsays to talk about our saga with sagas. Join us, 5p Pacific!

i've spent the last four months or so working on rewriting the parts of the @oxidecomputer control plane responsible for managing the lifecycle of VM instances on the rack, and i have to say, seeing this branch finally merge today feels *really* good: github.com/oxidecomputer/omi…

When we built the Oxide Cloud Computer, we wanted to rectify (no pun intended!) a major issue with traditional servers: power supply efficiency.
Legacy infrastructure is wildly inefficient - each traditional server is individually plugged into power supplies converting AC to

You can add DTrace USDT probes to your Rust programs. Didn't know? Well neither did a bunch of our Oxide colleagues so we made some slides.

We’ve been working on this whole ecosystem of OpenAPI related Rust facilities—server framework, linter, client codegen, CLI codegen, test framework, etc. It’s got all the fussiness and brevity that I love about Rust.
I’m looking forward to talking about it in Austin!

@SFGate this article reports that an earthquake happened today at 4:34pm local time (i.e., the future). From the linked USGS page it looks like it was 1634 UTC, which is 8:34am local time.

Wow, great to see this. We spent much of 2017 debugging and working around this problem at Joyent cc @bcantrill

On the back of the enthusiastic response to @bcantrill's talk at OSFC "I have come to bury the BIOS, not to open it - The need for holistic systems", our space Monday was devoted to holistic boot and the approach we've taken at @oxidecomputer youtube.com/watch?v=KItJzncv…

a debugging manifesto
ALT a debugging manifesto 1. inspect, don't squash try to fix the bug (crossed out) understand what happened (yes, smiley faces and stars) 2. check your assumptions person (thinking): "wait, how do I know that's true?" 3. being stuck is temporary person (thinking): "I will never figure this out!" ... 2 minutes later.... person (thinking): "well, I haven't tried X..." 4. don't go it alone person (speaking to other person): "hey, have you seen this problem before?" 5. trust nobody and nothing person (thinking): this library can't be buggy... OR CAN IT??? 6. there's always a reason computer: "computers are always logical, even when it doesn't feel that way" 7. build your toolkit person (holding toolkit): "wow, the CSS inspector makes debugging SO MUCH EASIER" 8. it can be an adventure person (talking, with cute bug next to them): "you wouldn't BELIEVE the weird bug I found" by @b0rk @omarieclaire, more like this at https://wizardzines.com

We are shipping our first racks by the end of the year, and we are very excited to get our new website up -- including many more details about what we've done and why. Awesome work, @lenjaminbeonard and crew!

Horrifyingly, it apparently needs to be said: many abortions are -- in fact -- wanted pregnancies. To compound a mother's grief by outlawing the medical procedure that she needs to assure her own health is unconscionable and inhumane.
