(i'm... a lil terrified, but I did make a bunch of cute mini vases so....)

Every now and then I stumble across an underrated article.
An example: "Measuring Latencies Between AWS Availability Zones" (link below). An incredible resource for anyone building on AWS.

Some days I wish I had a more interactive code review tool than GitHub's.
I'm looking over a PR for a pretty gnarly change in a C project and I want to write notes all over it that I reference later. I'm genuinely tempted to print the thing and go over it with a pen like a teacher.

Postgres uses TOAST to store large, variable-sized data values like JSONB and TEXT.
Using it impacts performance, so you gotta know the tradeoffs.

For anyone waiting for the video: my #SREcon talk is now up!
Lots of deep details in there about how hard it is to store data reliably and how tiny mistakes can turn into big problems.

How do Postgres and MySQL achieve data durability?

Turns out you can communicate across containers via 63-bits of available space in a shared lock you acquire on /proc/self/ns/time that all processes have access to.
No networking required. The post has a demo of a chat app communicating across unprivileged containers.
