AWS's S3 object storage is at a different level of scale. It serves ~150M RPS (!!) and offers 11 nines of durability (!!!) [if you store 100M objects, you can statistically expect to lose one every 1,000 years] I'll talk with the team building it. What would you like to know?

Wild that Python is my favorite language, yet I’m convinced no amount of brilliant engineering can save it from CPython’s limitations. We’ve spent decades trying to make it not suck and it still does.

“Dad, how good was prime Russell Wilson?” It's sad to see how far Russ has fallen; Giants fans booing him and being benched for Jameis Winston. One of the all-time greats. https://t.co/KPq6poOqMx

Porting decades old programs to Rust is dumb. They already fixed countless bugs / security issues, spend the time fixing remaining issues instead of starting all over again and re-introducing them. Memory safety doesn't prevent dumb logical errors. Use Rust for new software.
Multiple, serious security vulnerabilities found in the Rust clone of Sudo — which shipped with Ubuntu 25.10 (the most recent release). Not little vulnerabilities: We’re talking about the disclosure of passwords and total bypassing of authentication. In fact, we’re getting new

We can match S3 with MinIO on-prem. Cool. Which 9s are you dropping? S3 = 99.999999999% durability. That tradeoff might be fine, just know you made it.

Saying “health care is a right” sounds compassionate, but the meaning is very different from what people assume. A right means something you can exercise without forcing anyone else to act. Speech is a right. Property is a right. Self-defense is a right. They require no other
Health care is a right, not a privilege. Working families deserve affordable and accessible health care. Period.

We need a 60 minutes segment where years later they interview the engineers who were oncall for major cloud provider incidents like they’re the SEALs who killed Bin Laden.

A professional will wait for the information to develop before making decisions and accusations. Right now everyone is looking for an enemy, someone or some group to blame. Let it develop, do good, look for friends, And pray, pray hard.

They killed a 31 year old father of two whose only crime was to go to university campuses and engage in good faith with people who disagreed with him. If this isn’t a wake up call then we’re never going to wake up.
