Just to clarify one thing, Edwards AFB still has a lot of those highly-skilled engineers. Edwards has a huge machine shop with all the fancy tools and the engineers in there job is mostly making one-off replacement parts for planes. NASA and the Air Force are still flying all sorts of test planes out there and they often need some part they can no longer get from the manufacturer. They drop the spec for the part and it gets made, sometimes it takes a long time, but I promise there are skilled people on that base who can make it.

IMHO the SR-71 is going to be problematic due to sourcing the materials and fluids more than finding skilled CNC techs.

Those two don't really compare. Temporal has been around 3 years longer and is a much more heavyweight system. Temporal can support workflows that sleep for months at a time and still reliably finish.

I'm sure there is a place for restate.dev, but it isn't in the same place as Temporal.

I won't even walk into a house with Alexa devices around, there is no way I'm going to let Meta glasses be in the same room as me.

Bold of them to not open with their 5-9's uptime.

Also, in real life, he's a genuine nice guy. I had lunch with him and Armon at a conference when they worked at Kiip, before they founded Hashicorp. Mitchell (to me) was the proper hacker. He just loved everything about computing. This particular conference was about distributed systems and he was just geeking out on everything.

I walked away thinking that no matter what they did, they'd probably be successful. I was extremely happy to find Ghostty and have been using it ever since.

Turbopuffer was mentioned in the article.

I was so excited to get my S60 PHEV. Mechanically it is an amazing machine, great handling, great power, I rarely have to put gas in it. BUT. It is a nightmare with the technology.

Like most new cars, everything is tied into the center display/computer. It will crash while driving, which will remove all sound from your car, and I don't mean just the radio/spotify/whatever. You can be in mid-turn with your turn signal on and then just absolute quiet. It is so off-putting. Your blinker stops, you can't really tell your engine is on, and every screen just goes black. Thankfully I don't have a pure electric, so I my car still physically moves, but I really can't believe I haven't gotten in an accident when my screen crashes.

Thankfully I leased this vehicle, and I'm almost done with it, I honestly can't wait to turn it in.

> I suspect that what's happening internally (at Microsoft) is that someone's leveraging your work towards their next promotion packet.

It just so happens that the Microsoft engineer who originally changed the license in GitHub went from Senior to Principal engineer at Microsoft in the past two months (according to LinkedIn). So you probably aren't far off.

I've been a fan of blue jeans cables for 15+ years, I'm so glad they are the subject of this post. Blue Jeans just makes high quality stuff for solid prices and no BS.

This entirely. When I first read the title, I thought, lets see what they say about gRPC. gRPC is so much nicer working across applications compared to simple REST servers/clients.

There are residents for sure in that corridor, but the residents are on Edwards AFB, and are fairly used to sonic booms. When I was on Edwards, there was still the last operating SR-71, and that boomed any time it flew.

And in comes a flood of "Research Software Engineer" roles
