Bluesky has no business model so they'll eventually fail or sell you out. It's much more reliable to host all your data on some random dude's mastodon server, who also does not have a business model.

@noah you're laughing your ass off? I'm experiencing taxation without representation and you're laughing your ass off?

Enough is enough. It's time to let Australian software engineers married to US citizens vote.

@theincredibleholk Good luck! I always learn a lot from your posts here, so I have confidence in your talk

@theincredibleholk Yeah! Another way to phrase it is that, the more total person-hours your talk will consume, the higher the bar.

I get extremely irritated when somebody gives a presentation or presents a video they clearly didn't rehearse. If you can't be bothered to rehearse something, why should everyone in the audience be bothered to watch it? The watchers probably outnumber you 10 or 100x.

@nrc Sure, I could scale Tokio across many CPU cores or threads, but my really simple end-to-end probe (for Cloudflare) didn't need many CPU cores, they were all sitting idly waiting for IO. Discovering concurrency without parallelism was a really big deal for me at that point.

@nrc I can only speak to my experience but: I was already used to having parallelism in other programming languages, by spawning a thread per CPU core and processing data in parallel. Or by running a process per core.

When I first used Rust I relied on this model, requiring many CPU cores to get parallelism. This proved expensive! But then I discovered Tokio and concurrent IO on one thread. This felt really different and saved a lot of money on buying VM cores.
