Open Source Anti-Patterns with Kelsey Hightower
29 augustus 2023 · 1 uur 39 min
Kelsey Hightower joined Bryan and Adam to revisit a topic Bryan had spoken about a decade ago: corporate open source anti-patterns. Kelsey brought his typical sagacity to a complex and fraught topic. Lees meer
We've been hosting a live show weekly on Mondays at 5p for about an hour, and recording them all; here is the recording from August 28th, 2023.
In addition to Bryan Cantrill and Adam Leventhal, we were joined by Kelsey Hightower.
Here is the (lightly edited) live chat from the show:
xxxxbubbler: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pm8P4oCIY3g here is Bryan's talk from 1 decade ago, for reference
rolipo.li: web3 is going great
rolipo.li: https://web3isgoinggreat.com/
ahl0003: Last time Kelsey joined us for predictions
blainehansen: "Governance orgies" happen when the governance mechanisms aren't well-designed ha. If they are well-designed then governance is good!
jbk: opsware maybe? or tivoli?
uptill3: hp openview was one as well
sevanj: "they've got us working for trinkets"
sevanj: this was mentioned on the bugzilla anouncement regarding funded staff being pulled from working on project in the last 3 years.
blainehansen: All open source problems are secretly public goods problems haha
carpetbomberz.com: Hashicorp DID do a "thing"
blacksmithforlife: Just like taxes fund roads, we should have a internet usage tax that then funds these open source projects that everyone finds value in. The person taxed should get to decide which open source project gets the money
kaliszad: The problem is, you can help other people, but first you have to sustain yourself. 🙂
aarondgoldman: Too boring to be evil
rolipo.li: too busy to be evil?
aarondgoldman: Angular never got budget even when Inbox used it and had millions of users
blainehansen: Most open source projects are probably not best led/governed by a for-profit company ha
aarondgoldman: HP had a huge repair service business when their hardware got much more reliable it almost killed the company

Shipping the first Oxide rack: Your questions answered!
4 juli 2023 · 2 uur 3 min
On this week's show, Adam Leventhal posed questions from Hacker News (mostly) to Oxide founders Bryan Cantrill and Steve Tuck. Stick around until the end to hear about the hardest parts of building Oxide--great, surprising answers from both Bryan and Steve. Lees meer
They were also joined by Steve Klabnik.
Questions for Steve and Bryan:
[@6:38] Q:
Congrats to the team, but after hearing about Oxide for literal years since the beginning of the company and repeatedly reading different iterations of their landing page, I still don't know what their product actually is. It's a hypervisor host? Maybe? So I can host VMs on it? And a network switch? So I can....switch stuff? (*)
A:
Steve: A rack-scale computer; "A product that allows the rest of the market that runs on-premises IT access to cloud computing."Bryan: agrees
[@8:46] Q:
It's like an on prem AWS for devs. I don't understand the use case but the hardware is cool. (*)I didn’t understand the business opportunity of Oxide at all. Didn’t make sense to me.However if they’re aiming at the companies parachuting out of the cloud back to data centers and on prem then it makes a lot of sense.It’s possible that the price comparison is not with comparable computing devices, but simply with the 9 cents per gigabyte egress fee from major clouds. (*)
A:
Bryan: "Elastic infrastructure is great and shouldn't be cloistered to the public cloud"; Good reasons to run on-prem: compliance, security, risk management, latency, economics; "Once you get to a certain size, it really makes sense to own"Steve: As more things move onto the internet, need for on-prem is going to grow; you should have the freedom to own
[@13:31] Q:
Somebody help me understand the business value. All the tech is cool but I don't get the business model, it seems deeply impractical.
You buy your own servers instead of renting, which is what most people are doing now. They argue there's a case for this, but it seems like a shrinking market. Everything has gone c…

Okay, Doomer: A Rebuttal to AI Doom-mongering
27 juni 2023 · 1 uur 11 min
Bryan and Adam offer a rebuttal to the AI doomerism that has been gaining volume. And--hoo-boy--this one had some range. Heaven’s Gate, ceteris paribus, WWII, derpy security robots, press-fit DIMM sockets, async Rust, etc. And optimistic as always: the hardware and systems AI doomers imagine are incredibly hard to get right; let’s see AIs help us before we worry about our own obsolescence!

Virtualizing Time
13 juni 2023 · 1 uur 6 min
Jordan Hendricks joined Bryan and Adam to talk about her work virtualizing time--particularly challenging when migrating virtual machines from one physical machine to another! Lees meer
We've been hosting a live show weekly on Mondays at 5p for about an hour, and recording them all; here is the recording from June 12th, 2023.
In addition to Bryan Cantrill and Adam Leventhal, we were joined by Oxide colleague Jordan Hendricks.
The (lightly edited) live chat from the show:
DanCrossNYC: The TSC ticks at a fixed rate now days, regardless of voltage scaling on the CPU.
jbk: just x86 doesn't provide a consistent want to determine what the rate is
jbk: (I guess some chips will tell you via CPUID, but I've yet to actually encounter such chips)
jbk: some hypervisors will tell you via an MSR
zorg24: Looks the Linux kernel docs have some documentation on the x86 TSC and PIT https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/next/virt/kvm/x86/timekeeping.html
DanCrossNYC: CPUID or an MSR, but yeah, most systems sample over a fixed interval (determined by another time source) to figure it out.
jbk: no, versus some other present component that allows you to measure the frequency
DanCrossNYC: No, the PIT or HPET or something.
jbk: https://src.illumos.org/source/xref/illumos-gate/usr/src/uts/i86pc/os/tscc_pit.c?r=236cb9a8
jbk: is how it uses the PIT
jbk: (the HPET code needs to improve it's accuracy, so it's only used when the PIT isn't there at the moment)
jbk: some Intel NUCs have no PIT
jbk: so HPET is the only option
bcantrill: https://github.com/illumos/illumos-gate/commit/717646f7112314de3f464bc0b75f034f009c861e
DanCrossNYC: Two big ones: system maintenance without disturbing guest workloads, and also load balancing across a rack.
"Sevan: ah, thanks.

The Network Behind the Network
9 mei 2023 · 1 uur 39 min
Bryan and Adam are joined by Oxide colleagues Arjen, Matt, John, and Nathaneal to talk about the management network--the brainstem of the Oxide Rack. Just as it ties together so many components, this episode ties together many many (many!) topics we've discussed in other episodes. Lees meer
We've been hosting a live show weekly on Mondays at 5p for about an hour, and recording them all; here is the recording from May 8th 2023.
In addition to Bryan Cantrill and Adam Leventhal, we were joined by Oxide colleagues Arjen Roodselaar, Matt Keeter, John Gallagher, and Nathanael Huffman.
This built on work described in many previous episodes:
Cabling the Backplane Prior to going all-in on a cabled backplane with blind-mated server sleds (i.e. no plugging, unplugging, mis-plugging network cables). We (Bryan) espoused an "NC-SI or bust" mantra... at least in part to avoid doubling the cable count. With the cabled backplane, the reasons for NC-SI disappeared (which let the many reasons against truly shine).
The Pragmatism of Hubris in which we talk about our embedded operating system, Hubris (and it's companion debugger, Humility). Hubris runs on the service processors that are the main endpoints on the management network. Matt's work controlling the management network switch (the VSC7448) is in the context of Hubris, as is John's work communicating with the sleds over the management network.
The Power of Proto Boards showed and told about the many small boards we've used in development. Several of those were purpose built for controlling and simulating parts of the management network.
The Oxide Supply Chain Kate Hicks joined us to talk about the challenges of navigating the supply chain. Mentioned here in the context of "supply-chain-driven design": we designed around the parts we could procure! Tip: stay away from "automotive-quality" parts when the auto industry is soaking them all up.

Get You a State Machine for Great Good
28 maart 2023 · 1 uur 8 min
Andrew Stone of Oxide Engineering joined Bryan, Adam, and the Oxide Friends to talk about his purpose-built, replay debugger for the Oxide setup textual UI. Andrew borrowed a technique from his extensive work with distributed systems to built a UI that was well-structured... and highly amenable to debuggability. He built a custom debugger "in a weekend"!

The (lightly) edited live chat from the show:
MattCampbell: I'm gathering that this is more like the fancy pseudo-GUI style of TUI, which is possibly bad for accessibility
ahl: we are also building with accessibility in mind, stripping away some of the non-textual elements optionally
MattCampbell: oh, cool
ahl: Episode about the "Sidecar" switch: https://github.com/oxidecomputer/oxide-and-friends/blob/master/2021_11_29.md
MattCampbell: ooh! That kind of recording is definitely better for accessibility than a video.
uwaces: Were you inspired by Elm? (The programming language for web browsers?)
bcantrill: Here's Andrew's PR for this, FWIW: oxidecomputer/omicron#2682
uwaces: Elm has a very similar model. They have even had a debugger that let you run events in reverse: https://elm-lang.org/news/time-travel-made-easy
bch: I’m joining late - 1) does this state-machine replay model have a name 2) expand on (describe ) the I/o logic separation distinction?
ahl: http://dtrace.org/blogs/ahl/2015/06/22/first-rust-program-pain/

MattCampbell: I tested ChatGPT in an area where I have domain expertise, and it got it very wrong.
TronDD: Also interesting https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jPhJbKBuNnA
Wizord: the question is, when will it be in competition with people?
Wizord: copilot also can review code and find bugs if you ask it in a right way
ag_dubs: i suspect that a new job will be building tools that help make training sets better and i strongly suspect that will be a programming job. ai will need tools and data and content and there's just a whole bunch of jobs to build tools for AI instead of people

(Did we miss your name and/or get it wrong? Drop a PR!)
Curated chat log from the show:
davidf: Sharing this here because I loved every bit of it: My Startup Banking Story by Mitchell Hashimoto
ewen: 'The teller looks at the paper, then looks at me, then looks back at the paper, then asks ""Are you the HashiCorp guy?"" ' 😮 (Definitely agree that post looks relevant, and is worth reading; thanks for sharing. There's quite the impedance mismatch between ""traditional banking"" and ""startup"" approaches to things. Which I suspect in part explains how SVB was so widely used by startups.)"
antranigv: Question: Are there any reasons why the US is behind in these banking things? all countries in the EU and developing countries have solved these problems decade(s) ago.
statuscalamitous: my personal, barely informed take: we built this infra earlier, so we have more legacy
a172: It sounds like what SVB was providing that was so rare was a kind of business as a service.
statuscalamitous: my favorite "scare a developer" story: the way ACH payments work. that's right, SFTP!
antranigv: I think you mean FTPS? did they move to SFTP? 😄
drkamoz: I think the opposite is also true, without the infra, Africa’s been very early to adopt mobile banking https://www.bbc.com/worklife/article/20131217-east-africa-a-mobile-banking-hub

rng_drizzt Yeah, you need specialized silicon here.
JustinAzoff Right, also often across all ports at the same time in both direction. a 48 port 10gbps switch will have a line rate of 960gbps (10 ** 48 ** 2)
duckman So the advantage is being able to offload compute to the switch?
bnaecker Yes, and specifically that you can separate the data plane (operations on the packets) from the control plane (decisions about what operations to allow or make).

Memory Safety with Yael Grauer
14 februari 2023 · 1 uur 18 min
Yael Grauer joined Bryan, Adam, Steve Klabnik, and the Oxide Friends to talk about her recent Consumer Reports article on memory safety and memory safe languages. How do we inform the general public? How do we persuade practitioners and companies? Thanks for joining us, Yael! Lees meer
In addition to Bryan Cantrill and Adam Leventhal, we were joined by special guest Yael Grauer, and Steve Klabnik.
Some of the topics we hit on, in the order that we hit them (experiment in turning the show live-chat into notes):
Nahum: https://www.backblaze.com/blog/the-3-2-1-backup-strategy/ if anyone wants to read up on the 3-2-1 Backup strategy. 👅
Cyborus: can we get a link to the talk?
Nahum: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q9s2NxILBK8
Nahum: https://digital-lab-wp.consumerreports.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Memory-Safety-Convening-Report-.pdf via https://digital-lab-wp.consumerreports.org/2023/01/23/new-report-future-of-memory-safety/
Nahum: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pegasus_(spyware)
Cyborus: "can we talk" => "hey. you. have a panic attack. anyways i got a cool sandwich"
AaronW: "of course we should have seatbelts" 😄
MattCampbell: but then you've got the C die-hards who say that Rust itself is too complex
AaronW: https://twitter.com/markrussinovich/status/1571995117233504257?s=46
DanCrossNYC: People used to say the same thing about PL/I and recently the COBOL people have been saying the same thing. Nothing new under the sun.
statuscalamitous: https://blog.yossarian.net/2023/02/11/The-unsafe-language-doom-principle
DanCrossNYC: People who still want to treat C as a high-level assembler are saying the same stuff the PL/I people were saying when I was young.
Eric Likness - carpetbomberz.com: In support of Yael, Ralph Nader wasn't/isn't an automotive engineer and he could still argue for lowering safety risks to car buyers. It's advocacy.

@15:30 Lost opportunities to course-correct
The touch screen button

Potentially rushed to market when it was not up to standards

Some of the topics we hit on, in the order that we hit them:
@0:27 let_chains are stable in Rust 1.64
Adam's tweet
The stabilization PR, with the full saga leading up to stabilization
As Steve mentions, the feature dates all the way back to 2017 and extends the Swift-inspired if let expressions Rust has had for a while
Some Rust features, like async functions in traits, are huge rabbit holes
Discussion about Rust's commitment to stability and how it's enforced with things like crater
As an example of the process leading to burnout in programming language communities: Guido stepping down as BDFL after PEP 572 (Assignment Expressions, "the walrus operator")
Discussion about Ruby also taking stability seriously: flip-flops weren't removed in Ruby 2.0 in part because of this pretty incredible snippet from Yusuke Endoh
Quines and variations, Yusuke Endoh's Qlobe (reproduced here), their infamous quine-relay, and their other projects
The G-Portugol programming language
The unstable features mechanism in Rust ("first class support for experimental features") and how this allows for user experimentation
Exclusive range patterns in Rust and some of their perils, specifically in tock
Contrasting the Rust unstable feature mechanism with Haskell language pragmas: the former requires a nightly compiler to use, the latter does not
