Remember: Wealth can’t be separated from power. Power begets wealth and wealth begets power. We're seeing in real time how the extreme concentration of wealth is distorting our politics, rigging our markets, and granting unprecedented power to a handful of billionaires.

The AWS ARM flavors don't seem to be a steal any longer. Looking at servers in Frankfurt, m8g and m7i are almost the exact same price. I was expecting a 20% difference in price.

Spotify appears to have lost the power to play more than one song without intervention. Playlists do not progress to the next song.

How does Brandon Eich feel about gay marriage today? I'm wondering how Mozilla would have fared with him still at the helm.

Rustacean Station has interesting interviews with project maintainers
Rust in Production is similarly interesting and had a good chat with Steve Klabnik
Oxide and Friends has the gray beard charm, fun to see an amibitious tech effort

We have seen this idea played out nicely with Tantivy and Apache Lucene. Benchmarking between each other and lovingly borrowing ideas between the projects.
Open source can be both collaborative and competitive. When a new project shows up, it competes with existing solutions, but that doesn't prohibit collaboration, even between competing projects and ideas.

Very pleased with quickwit for log storage. Now I have to convert the main rails application to emit structured logs. And then to nuke the Elasticsearch cluster currently used for logs!

Using the freebie github actions workflow on a rust app that uses axum is very painful. Axum is taking FOREVER to compile. Does not seem like a common complaint on the github repo!
