My spring 2021 distributed systems course finished up last week, and the full set of lecture videos is now up: composition.al/CSE138-2021-03… No distributed systems background necessary. If you watch these lectures and get something out of them, I'd love to hear from you!

Get Systems Performance 2nd Ed., recommended/required reading at major tech companies, for 45% off until Sep 13 (code BACKTOLEARN). This new edition includes eBPF. informit.com/sale/backtolea… brendangregg.com/systems-perfor…

Do you have C chops? Do you have an interest in Pony? In compilers? In LLVM? In high-performance runtimes? In debugging? If you can say yes to most of those, we would be happy to get you a Raspberry Pi 4 for you to use to get Pony as solid on Arm as it is on x86.

Delighted to present the first issue of the Journal of Systems Research! jsys.org/read/ escholarship.org/uc/jsys/1/1 We have three stellar papers on serverless, paxos, and state-machine replication! You can read the reviews, and check out the artifacts!

Fable is hiring! If you're looking for challenging engineering work or know someone who might be, let's chat! Find out more: notion.so/fableinc/Caree… *Fully Remote *Great Culture ( we're a 'teaching hospital'! ) *Rust/WASM, Javascript, Video, Graphics. DMs open!

I'm presenting today (remotely) to the Denver Erlang and Elixir user group. "Why BEAM in the Docker Age?" 18:00-19:00 US Mountain Time/UTC-6 meetup.com/Denver-Erlang-…

"deletes in distributed systems are hard" If you are a CRDT or Rust or property-based testing fan, this is WELL worth the read. Also Russell's work here is freakin' amazing - ditto.live/blog/testing-c…

Crashing stuff for testing is fun. Crashing several things in a test is neat. Crashing *all* the things exhaustively during testing is 103% pry-it-out-of-my-cold-dead-hands useful. doordash.engineering/2022/04/25/usi…

For real yall, who's hiring o11y folk? Asking for a friend. I'm the friend.

Hey friends! It’s rough out there, looking for a job. If you hear of anything, please let me know. I’ve also been chatting with a TON of folks, so if you’re looking, let me know and maybe I can help you out, in the meantime.

I spent part of this sunny afternoon with the artist<strikeout>dall-e mastermind. Nearly snorted coldbrew coffee through my nose seeing this on his phone. Behold our new consensus protocol diagramming tool!

Stabilizer needs help! And definitely deserves more love. github.com/ccurtsinger/st… The goal is to provide statistically sound performance benchmarking. If anyone has some free time, please consider helping out with the project (some compiler dev experience is needed).
