    We've built an open source tool to help you harness, connect, transform, and route your event streams! That means your piles of logs can be collected, split, carved up, merged again, and then fed downstream! Interested?

    I'm super excited to announce I'm joining to work on the Flux Language team. The team is fantastic and it's a rare kind of professional opportunity to work on a language. This job search turned out well for me!

    The Chinese paddlefish, which could grow *23 FEET* long, was declared extinct this month. Scientists lay out a plan for making sure the rest of the world's incredible giant fish don't disappear:

    Hmm, as if right on cue to replace Actix in my project, Warp is now updated with futures/async/await. Seems like it'll be a good fit considering I'm planning on using Tonic and both use Hyper under the hood. //cc

    If I were farther along in my own project and in my skills I would probably just try to take ownership of it myself. But given that I have about 40 LOC in my project that depend on this, it's easier to just move over to Hyper, which I assume will have some longevity.

    Wow, Actix maintainer quit and took his code home. I'm actually using it in a new project. Guess it's time to refactor to Hyper. I understand the creator's frustration, but it would have been better to just hand over to someone else.

    It was a pleasure to be on Maker's podcast. I talk about database architectures and trends for 2020. Also a bit about our new architecture in Cloud 2.0 and 2.0:

    Totally agree. It's basically ruinous to all software. Or at least any kind of collaboration. And since all software builds on abstractions, we'd start every project from a clean slate like it was 1925 (copyright expiration).

    The silence from certain companies and efforts are *deafaning*. Take note who hasn't filed a brief on the side of Google, open source and the future of software and hardware development. Don't let your hate of G keep you from recognizing the threat to your existence, dummies.

    Or a less extreme version is simply that we no longer have a progression of different APIs morphing, improving and building off each other. Every API becomes an evolutionary dead end. It'll waste untold amounts of programmer effort and lead to far less innovation.

    If APIs are protected under copyright, every OSS project would be vulnerable to frivolous lawsuits by any company that claims their APIs have been ripped off. Closed source APIs are usually published, while source code isn't. So it's much harder to claim their code was stolen.

    Getting this Oracle decision in API copyright overturned is probably the most important thing in software. If it stands then all open source is in peril. Shared APIs are at the heart of OSS and it can't exist with APIs under copyright:

    Hey , I love using your lounges while I travel, but I really wish you’d stop using single use plastic utensils. You have coffee mugs and glasses so there’s a dishwasher somewhere. Would love to see you use regular utensils and help the planet out!
