I think you should add some screenshots to your homepage. people might not be interested in trying it out before seeing what they're gonna get.

also –do you think you can make this work with CC using HTTPS_PROXY as well?

@ericchiang.bsky.social hey question about your synctest blog: do you really need that "+ time.Millisecond" or is there any determinism that the goroutine will get to run 3 times without it? oblique.security/blog/go-sync...

surely opentofu has a CDK fork too?

@aphyr.woof.group.ap.brid.gy you thought LLM misquoting you was bad, no longer need to wait until LLM writes a jepsen article. sw.vtom.net/hn35/pages/9... (from sw.vtom.net/hn35/news.html)

Turbopuffer (vector DB) architecture is a fairly interesting example of object-storage backed tiered DBs combined with data structure practices from DBs. turbopuffer.com/docs/archite...

Here are the tradeoffs that makes it work: 567-labs.github.io/systematical...

or maybe they're calling the bluff? so he has to either give the deets or perjure himself.

Mitigating Application Resource Overload with Targeted Task Cancellation

Full house from the KubeCon talk in Atlanta (500 people, holy sh*t)

#kubecon: roughly 14% flights into atlanta cancelled today, even more predicted for sunday/monday. www.flightaware.com/live/cancell...

#kubecon talk finally coming together
see you all there Thursday 11:45am or in the hallway
kccncna2025.sched.com/event/27Fdd/...

damn, that's quite a delay! glad you made it.

I can't wait for the MOST cool, relaxed part of geeking out at @cncf.bsky.social #kubecon, which is actually hitting @rejekts.io!!! cloud-native.rejekts.io

Join us if you're around #atlanta or at KubeCon!

Most people think the Kubernetes scheduler makes scheduling decisions itself. Well, it doesn’t.

The real power lies elsewhere.

🧵 Let’s talk about how the kube-scheduler is actually a plugin-first orchestration engine, not a decision-maker.

KubeCon goers: what are the Atlanta hotels you're booking that's not next to the boring downtown/convention center area?

hahahah goddamn

I only post my technical content on LI and I actually get the same number of engagements/views as X (where I have 10x more followers), it's a pretty good channel to get the word out about technical blogs etc.

is Alberta like the Mississippi of Canada?

Majority of American electorate doesn't want any of this to happen. However, majority of Israelis... need to be rehabilitated.

one could say the same about genocides, but clearly all the museums, exhibits aren't solving the root cause ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Anthropic is leading something?

I absolutely love the table of contents design and animations you have.

I cooked yesterday's block party potluck recipe with LLM, does it count?

Admiralty's been out there forever and its proxy/chaperon idea is sadly one of the most nonscalable approaches.

Anyone have recommended readings on any scalable k8s multi-cluster work API implementations? Planning to roll out a similar model on our own and I want to study the state of the art and the rationale behind the existing model.

You gotta read it in his voice too

Shoulda asked about that blue dye shit

#KubeCon schedule is out! Team LinkedIn will give 3 talks this year (myself included):
1️⃣ Making Application Rollouts Observable (lnkd.in/gmnM-8Z4)
2️⃣ How We Upgrade the Whole ML Training Fleet Bi-weekly(lnkd.in/gG_a_Etc)
3️⃣ Evicted! All the Ways Kubernetes Kills Your Pods
(lnkd.in/ggm9HKZF)

yeah we do that but it would be so much better if we didn't need to. all our microservices and our entire service infra except for CNCF components use push model, and we have to run a otel collector just for those.
