In case you missed it. Listening insightful takes on distributed systems from Leslie Lamport made my day yesterday. Also go #tlaplus changelog.com/person/lamport

Nice post. Hacking on databases and programming language standard libraries (especially containers and string routines), and trying to beat your own perf on benchmarks w/ ever larger data, is a great way to learn a lot of CS. More fun than leetcode too! davidgomes.com/the-broad-set-…

Ryan Marcus One could have said that of Yahoo and Hadoop. History from google, amazon, etc suggests that once a superscalar tries to actually support 3rd-party customers they find their way to deeper data tech (and often abandon open source).

It’s great to see low-latency messaging libraries finally target public clouds. We also have a low-latency DPDK messaging library for cloud VMs, open-sourced at github.com/microsoft/mach…. It gets 750k RPCs/s with 61us p99.9 latency on Azure (no VM placement tuning), with one core.

eBPF workshop at SIGCOMM! We look forward to receiving your submissions!!!

I have never put napkin math as much to the practise as with building turbopuffer github.com/sirupsen/napki… I have this tab open all the time, doing the calculations in Raycast which has phenomenal unit support Profiles and observability will never tell you the lower bound

I have a “pile” of papers that continuously get rejected from any conference. Jokingly, I call this set of papers the “pile of eternal rejections.” One of these rejections is a report exploring the cost of language choice & GC in state machine replication charap.co/pile-of-eterna…

Just learned that our paper "Practical Considerations for Implementing State Machine Replication in the Cloud" was accepted to ICDCS'25. This work is a substantial rehash and extension of something that was in my eternal rejection pile for a few years now: charap.co/pile-of-eterna…

HoliPaxos! After a revision process, I just received a VLDB acceptance for our new Paxos paper: "HoliPaxos: Towards More Predictable Performance in State Machine Replication" I love conferences that work with authors to improve papers instead of rejecting outright.
