Experienced it. Sound was very eerie. House shook a little. Was raining and thought it was thunder, but there was no other thunder after. r/boston has a bunch of ring footage of you want to hear the boom

kache helps

Or tokei

Love this given my favorite record store is in a basement with bad cell service!

Oops :) I was so excited for the release I forgot how to read!

It has IPv6 support

The SMP improvements look interesting. Anyone know of performance results from 7.1 to 7.2?

I chose it due to the type system. Nearly every piece of data is optional. I need to compose these pieces of data to form a full set and apply that set of rules to a system. Haskell made a lot of things work out really well:

* embedded DSL for describing things with minimal syntax * types to enforce my invariants * immutable data + STM to protect my shared data structures * multithreaded/async code is easy to work with * deterministic outputs given inputs

but it was headaches in a lot of ways:

* exceptions - still not sure I’ve handled all exceptions gracefully * culture - most teammates are intimidated by Haskell (and types) * ecosystem is behind (Rust has exponential usb acceleration vs Haskell’s constant pace)

While I’m proud of the outcome I would have chosen differently now that I’ve seen the other side and have the project done. The inertia I was fighting required far too much energy

We failed to build Linode like things internally. We innovate through acquisition.

A different take -- drugs. Especially marijuana and hallucinogens. Helped me better understand how to think about abstract computations vs the nitty gritty details like pointers. Not for everyone, but helped me.
