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.

Why the Zig programming language matters, when to use it, and why correctness is a system design problem, not a language problem. Interesting thoughts from @joran.tigerbeetle.com.

I saw this on LinkedIn and it was just too accurate to not share here. Postgres powers so much of the world's software yet the core team is a couple dozen people. The ecosystem around it is also surprisingly small for how far reaching it is.

Politics isn't manipulation and backstabbing. It's understanding how decisions actually get made and learning to navigate that reality.
Refusing to engage doesn't make politics go away. It just means you lose by default.

Stop Avoiding Politics
Most engineers think workplace politics is dirty. They’re wrong. Refusing to play politics doesn’t make you noble; it makes you ineffective.

New data oriented file format just dropped.
FastLanes, "like Parquet, but with 40% better compression and 40× faster decoding". 👀
Seems it can exploit correlations between columns and have fully SIMD friendly encodings to help with vectorization.

We ran a randomized controlled trial to see how much AI coding tools speed up experienced open-source developers.
The results surprised us: Developers thought they were 20% faster with AI tools, but they were actually 19% slower when they had access to AI than when they didn't.

I’ve been saying this for a while: data streaming needs to be polyglot. I’m addressing this with Iron Functions: a WebAssembly-based runtime that enables writing #ApacheFlink transformations in several languages like TypeScript, Rust, and Go.
