@andy_pavlo just watched your talk on writing a DB in ebpf. Was surprised you didn't contrast against the "unikernel" approach? Eg run the DB in the kernel relying on virtualization to sandbox it

@AndresFreundTec @TheASF I think there are still some critical infrastructure software projects operating without code review. And of course even code review is no guarantee since you can just have two fake personas reviewing each other's code....

@MarkCallaghanDB @mituzas @rakyll Also to be clear, the "one big deployment" is highly sharded/regionalized/etc internally so that failures are really well isolated, upgrades happen bit-by-bit, etc, so that the blast radius of any potential issues doesn't look like "one big deployment". Gotta get those 9s!

@eatonphil It's a good project, but surprised you find it legendary. Implementing TCP is a pretty standard project for an undergrad networking course, right?

@lemire @lamchester @trav_downs Does your result hold if you add a built-in expect that the branch is not likely? Wonder if the generated code was an always-taken branch instead of never-taken

@sanmateoco Weird. I'm currently traveling in Thailand - must be blocked from here (have tried from several different locations in the country). I managed to sign in from a VM located in the US. Thanks.
