Here's 12 Sysadmin/DevOps (they're synonyms now!) challenges, straight from the day job:
1. Get a user to stop logging in as root.
2. Get all users to stop sharing the same login and password for all servers.
3. Get a user to upgrade their app's dependencies to versions newer than 2010.
4. Get a user to use configuration management rather than scp'ing config files from their laptop to the server.
5. Get a user to bake immutable images w/configuration rather than using configuration management.
6. Get a user to switch from Jenkins to GitHub Actions.
7. Get a user to stop keeping one file with all production secrets in S3, and use a secrets vault instead.
8. Convince a user (and management) you need to buy new servers, because although "we haven't had one go down in years", every one has faulty power supply, hard drive, network card, RAM, etc, and the hardware's so old you can't find spare parts.
9. Get management to give you the authority to force users to rotate their AWS access keys which are 8 years old.
10. Get a user to stop using the aws root account's access keys for their application.
11. Get a user to build their application in a container.
12. Get a user to deploy their application without you.
Q: 3. Get a user to upgrade their app's dependencies to versions newer than 2010.
A: Calculate the average age in years of all dependencies calculated by: (max(most recent version release date, date of most recent CVE on library) - used version release date). Sleep for that many seconds before the app starts.
The "choose your date by selecting a substring of pi" is absolutely incredible.
I couldn't find my birthday in the first 10 or so pages, so I clicked "Give up" and searched the page for it. Said my pi index was in the 100,000s. Went back to the ui to select it manually and gave up after clicking fast for minutes and I hadn't even hit index 50,000.
Also, hi, I'm one of the language creators, feel free to ask any questions here!
I've been following Unison for a long time, congrats on the release!
Unison is among the first languages to ship algebraic effects (aka Abilities [1]) as a major feature. In early talks and blog posts, as I recall, you were still a bit unsure about how it would land. So how did it turn out? Are you happy with how effects interact with the rest of the language? Do you like the syntax? Can you share any interesting details about how it's implemented under the hood?

Muratori traced the history of OOP to the original documents. Skip to the 1:18 mark if you want to skip to his findings.
The craziest thing in that video is realizing that the Entity Component architecture was actually invented for Sketchpad in 1963, but the whole idea was slept on until Looking Glass reinvented it in 1998 for Thief: The Dark Project.

One thing I found interesting is the logical type system doesn't seem to include sum types or unions, unlike Arrow etc.
I'd generally encourage new type systems to include sum types as a first-class concept.
I wonder if a columnar storage format should implement sum types with a struct of arrays where only one array has a nun-null value for each index.
That is a different project :D
Here's our overall pitch: https://zed.dev/blog/sequoia-backs-zed#introducing-deltadb-o...
Oh is this based on my favoritest data structure ever: zed's Sum Tree?

No wonder electrics don't sell well in the US. People weigh more, you're basically saying that leaving grandma at home, is a "game changer".
True! If only grandma wouldn't insist on bringing 250kg of weapons and ammunition with her everywhere I'd get much better range in my EV, but alas this is the USA.
