@jmoiron Lesson: linear access has dominated the physical storage layer for ~50 years. Even when vendors improve random workloads, physics (c) will continue to advantage linear over random, and hardware will continue to bias for linear workloads because you design for what people run. ht...

@jmoiron The only reliable 10x multiplier in engineering is having solved the same problem before

@jmoiron No, it's not in an environment. It's been towed beyond the environment. https://t.co/w9R0KJl3va
@jmoiron I remember seeing a demo of this a long time ago on some thread in the selectbutton forums. This was a really great game and more people should play it. https://t.co/3BaNfAHdAN
@jmoiron As people run more temporal workloads, this will only need to be learned (at tremendous cost) over and over. LIFO isn't the only mechanism that can reduce temporal locality and kill goodput. https://t.co/KlCeO4td6S
@jmoiron.bsky.social Using my domain as a handle does seem nice and portable, but I've never been totally convinced on de-cen social protocols. Scale without centralization just can't reach the efficiencies we see, and 99% of people will just use the New Thing.
@jmoiron @RayS Thanks Ray! 🙇
@jmoiron To this day I don't have a lobsters account because I have always felt weird asking for one. That said, I wouldn't mind a bluesky invite, if anyone has one they are willing to send my way.

@jmoiron @goinggodotnet Readability has a similar subjective vagueness to it. Usually these words mean "my preferred style". I'm not claiming all styles are equal, but if you can't articulate the improvement in some other way, it's just a style change, and these kinds of changes are low...
@jmoiron A task to make code "Cleaner" is a flag: it's almost always a no-impact medium-risk refactor with no measurable positive impact. Those cases where it's not should always describe the change and its benefits directly; "Clean" has very little value on its own.
@jmoiron Bangalter's "Mythologies" feels like the soundtrack to a lost animated version of the original NES Legend of Zelda instruction booklet.
@jmoiron Twitter was a place where every public figure's personal thoughts were accessible for engagement, with verified, trustworthy identification. People in the future will not understand why this was pissed away right as fact & fiction was being rapidly blurred by technology.

@jmoiron @elithrar I would never have felt confident enough to get into SLRs without DPreview. Really sad 😢
@jmoiron @glcst Yeah! In hindsight, the controversy around "birds are dinosaurs" does seem ridiculous when presented with these guys.
@jmoiron @glcst I've always found it crazy that the Australians fought and lost a war against a native bird species and that bird wasn't the Cassowary.
@jmoiron This is why the analogy is so frustrating. Many people use "YAML is k8s asm" to mean "you can build abstractions on top of k8s YAML", but that's not really true. You can build a static site generator, but you cannot change the way a checkbox works.
@jmoiron In the "YAML is k8s asm" analogy, asm is "an unwieldy layer you're not meant to use directly". But k8s YAML is not like asm, because k8s is not like a computer.
YAML is like k8s HTML, k8s is a browser, and there is no JavaScript.
@jmoiron It's been really wild to see the "Sillicon Valley" brand completely collapse in my lifetime, from a symbol of inspiration and innovation in the 80s and 90s, to one of hubris and greed now.
@jmoiron @bryanl My approach changes slightly based on audience, but this is one of the main ones; I think of it as "socratic review". Questions invite conversation, and statements shut it.
@jmoiron Video game boxes did not survive my childhood, but I do have a bunch of SFC games w/ box that I bought in the early 2000s at Super Potato. https://t.co/5ZYAEXKoEJ
