Explain why he would have respect for our country?
And thank you, I will! Your question makes you look like a national embarrassment—and that’s a real achievement these days!
@SGgrc someone pointed me at this pdf; if you want to know where the image came from, mastodon.social/@ahl/1122431… and we also used it for a podcast grc.com/sn/SN-970-Notes.pdf
Monday’s Oxide and Friends was our 4th installment of book recommendations from me, @bcantrill, and the Oxide Friends. A big thank you to everyone who joined us live, and particularly to those who shared recommendations. youtu.be/FDPaPU5aRd0

Oakland would go bananas for the Rays
Tropicana Field will not be ready for the Opening Day on March 27 due to damage sustained during Hurricane Milton, per @TBTimes_Rays.
Where the Rays will play in 2025 is TBD.

Last night, @ChipsandCheese9 joined @bcantrill, me, and the Oxide Friends to talk about AMD's new 5th generation EPYC processor, codename: Turin. What's new in Turin and how is Oxide's Turin-based platform coming along?

Last night, @bcantrill and I were joined by our colleague Ben Naecker to talk about OxQL—the Oxide Query Language we’ve developed for interacting with our metrics system. youtu.be/RTsXM3kcAaI
Last night, with @bcantrill and the Oxide Friends, we talked about Amazon's new return to office (RTO) policy and RTO office across the industry... and into the future. Thanks to everyone who joined us live! youtu.be/Y-cC5pUXjbQ
We record the Oxide and Friends podcast as a live show on Discord. We do some light editing, for example trimming @bcantrill and me chatting about San Francisco public transit i.e. you're not missing much... youtu.be/GfGa-1tSST4

Latest Oxide and Friends is up on the pod. Including my admission about being TERRIFIED I’d be asked a particular question in a deposition. share.transistor.fm/s/07648e…
On Monday's Oxide and Friends, @bcantrill and I allowed ourselves a non-hot take on Founder Mode. While there is plenty to quibble over, there's also the kernel of an important idea: how to balance experience, novel thinking, and limited time? youtu.be/Ch9R4ZxvtG0
We covered Graham's blog as well as writing by Bryan, @skamille, @timoreilly, and (big surprise!) a NetApp founder.

@SolarEdgePV it seems like every few weeks the behavior of my system changes. Right now the car charger won’t use excess solar automatically even if I raise the priority or if the batteries are full. Previously it would only charge the car at 20amps. When I try to contact support they will only talk to my installer… who isn’t interested in helping a client from 4 years ago! What can I do??

Serious question: would you post a screenshot of the people you search for on this site? Mine is primarily a list of right wing lunatics and venture capitalist assholes I can’t condone by following. It’s mortifying that I search for these people.

RFDs--Requests for Discussion--are how we at @oxidecomputer discuss... just about everything! @bcantrill and I were joined by Oxide colleagues instrumental to RFDs, from their most prolific author to those making them more consumable. youtu.be/rCdeAtMPcJc
Technical design, hardware component selection, changes in process, culture, interview systems, (even) chat--we have RFDs for all of these, over 500 in a bit under 5 years. rfd.shared.oxide.computer/

On Monday's Oxide and Friends, @dapsays joined me and @bcantrill to talk about why we choose CRDB… and how Cockroach Labs' recent switch to a proprietary license impacts that.
