Why do they disable io_uring?
Security reasons. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44632240 There are also other edge cases around cgroups accounting that renders some isolation/throttling mechanisms not fully effective.

Both do durable workflows with similar guarantees. The big difference is that DBOS is an open-source library you can add to your existing code and run anywhere, whereas Durable Functions is a cloud offering for orchestrating serverless functions on Azure.
As far as I know, Azure Durable Functions doesn't have a server-side proprietary component and it's actually fully open source framework/clients as well. So it's actually not a cloud offering per-se. You can see the full implementations at:

I've been following DBOS for a while and I think the model isn't too different than Azure Durable Functions (which uses Azure Queues/Tables under the covers to maintain state).

Perhaps the only difference is that Azure Durable Functions has more syntactic sugar in C# (instead of DBOS choice being Python) to preserve call results in the persistent storage? Where else do they differ? At the end, all of them seem to be doing what Temporal is doing (which has its own shortcomings and it's also possible to get it wrong if you call a function directly instead of invoking it via an Activity etc)?
This whole thing has 0 cost to Google to run. They could be nice citizens and continue to provide this service for free, but they chose to not to.

Have you considered adding realistic screenshots to your website? I'm talking about real pictures –none of that purple background/edited stuff.
I read through one of his emails. This guy is great at communicating his interest and signaling himself as a "high performer".
Perhaps, he is also genuinely good at cracking these interviews. No wonder, he's been through so many of them.
Are there any LLMs that offer ZSH plugins that integrate with command history, previous command outputs, system clipboard etc to assist writing the next command? Stuff like gemini/copilot CLI don't feel particularly useful to me. I'm not gonna type "?? print last 30 lines of this file"
