Missing @marthawells1's Murderbot series? Not for long! A little something hit editor @LeeAHarris' desk this week... and will be hitting stores fall 2023.

I’m sorry, I simply cannot be cynical about a technology that can accomplish this.

I have been looking since ~forever for a way to remotely support my computer-struggling mom. On a whim, I: installed Tailscale on her Mac, shared her laptop into my tailnet, enabled OS-level screen sharing. It all worked on the first try. @Tailscale is magic.

Shopify's new HTTP server is Unicorn-esque, but reforks aged Ruby worker processes generationally to yield better copy-on-write memory sharing. Very smart, and kind of obvious in retrospect. Wish I'd thought of it. github.com/Shopify/pitchf…

Quick thoughts from @strangeloop_stl (writing something longer, but I'm not sure I'll actually finish it anytime soon). I'm really glad I could make it to this one, with just one left; it's a conference I've always wanted to attend -- and the span of topics was excellent.

Whoa! I guessed I missed this by leaving a bit early to catch my flight. What a conference this was.

Suuuper awesome talk by @jackrusher entitled "Stop writing dead programs." It was a whirlwind of historical context about why programming is the way it is, spot-on observations about why we make things hard for ourselves, and fascinating ideas for the future. #strangeloop

Every now and then I remember that client who got hit by Ransomware and lost multiple VMs because they had no backup. Then realized that TAs had exfil'd the VMs. They didn't pay the ransom, waited for their data to be leaked and downloaded the VMs to restore the lost data.

Histograms are rightfully a popular tool for visualizing and thinking about latency. But I believe that empirical distribution functions (eCDFs) are almost always a better choice. Let's look at an example to understand why. This highly bimodal distribution:

Check out my little #emacs hack. It's an Emacs version of the command line tool #fzf. You pipe stuff from your shell into `ezf' (emacs fuzzy finder) and you can use Helm/your completion framework of choice to filter and select matches before sending them 'back' to the shell.
