Except that formula 1 teams rely on their own data and marketers on other people’s.

Skype is shutting down after two decades | CNN Business Microsoft is shutting down Skype, the internet-based phone and video service that was once the dominant way of staying connected in the mid 2000s.

The very first thing I did when I got a credit card was buy some Skype credit so I could talk with my parents at a reasonable cost. Farewell www.cnn.com/2025/02/28/t...

Installed #ghostty last night. It looks gorgeous! Also made me realize that my .zshrc is slow. Great work!

Gems in the Scala Ecosystem Years ago, I used to think "Scala tooling is nonexistent or bad". I've been too deep in the Scala world to compare accurately with other languages, yet I feel, as 2024 is coming to an end, that Scala ...

Before 2025, I wanted to blog about
tooling and pieces of software that make my life way better as a Scala developer. Big thanks to their developers out there 🙏

The latest paper from the #1 CMU-DB PhD student @samarchdb.bsky.social is wild compilation magic! He automatically makes UDFs run 300x faster on SQL Server and 1.3x faster on DuckDB.

Indeed. We have a responsibility as men to create the space where our partners can grow professionally. This will mean our career might take a hit. Having a family is bad for careers but at least we’re spreading the damage now.

This place makes me want to write more.

Totally agree. Went with the family last summer and was a breeze to get around with a stroller.

I’m super excited to announce I'm part of an amazing team (<3 @williambrady.bsky.social @killianmcloughlin.bsky.social @mjcrockett.bsky.social) that just published a paper in @science.org on the role of outrage in spread of misinformation

It's running since yesterday so the record is short. All feedback appreciated!

In a past life I wrote a PEG parser to create a sql dialect. In the end it was rewritten using ANTLR due to how slow it was.

A lot of job interviews try to filter out by this ability in some way or another. Seems to me it’s very well appreciated yet misunderstood.

Just had my first discussion for planning my work on formally verifying the Kafka transaction protocol in TLA+, as well as a bunch of planned improvements. It would be nice to have it done by the holidays but we'll see.

@scylladb.bsky.social has joined the party!

When we needed a horizontally scalable data store for Bluesky's v2 AppView implementation, I spent a ton of time testing and evaluating every option and ScyllaDB was the clear winner. The people there have been very nice too!

scala-cli + ChatGPT is a colossal enabler.
I wanted to figure out slowest testuites across all sbt projects. Took literally below 1 minute to get the script (to parse junit XMLs) and the results.
Writing it by hand would take me at least 10 minutes.

I refuse to join Bluesky. I don’t want to become part of a pekko chamber. #scala

My instinct tells me that the people with the first interpretation work most of the time around data engineering and the people who have the second interpretation are more involved in application development. So it would be plain point of view in that case

Can’t wait. For all the talks and stories that will come out from this crazy growth
