Done with grad school applications and suddenly I have 5 extra hours in a day

In the past few days, we’ve gone from democracy to fascists killing kids and trying to enforce censorship to absolute wild west anarchy. It is incredibly difficult to be a functioning human being right now. Most of all it feels like the entire revolution was a play by the same old politicians. 🇳🇵

not people but kids* real bullets*

Dozens of people were injured in Nepal on Monday as the authorities used rubber bullets and water cannons to disperse a demonstration against corruption and a government decision to restrict social media.

All animals are equal but some animals are more equal than others. The corrupt Government of Nepal today open fired against kids protesting in school uniform with 14 reported fatalities. This is full blown fascism!!!

We're hiring for two very high-leverage, high-learning roles at Feldera! If you're deeply technical and love seeing customers succeed using a revolutionary compute platform, we'd love to have you on the team 🚀

If you’re excited about hard technical problems and want to shape the future of real-time systems, Feldera is hiring (remotely!) for a Solutions Engineer (Enterprise) and a Software Engineer (Reliability, Performance) jobs.ashbyhq.com/feldera/544a...

🚀 We’re hiring an engineer to push Feldera’s automated testing platforms to the limit! If you get excited about breaking real-world data-intensive systems, chaos testing, fault injection, differential testing and obsessing over performance, this job is for you. jobs.ashbyhq.com/feldera/709c...

"why are rust developers so insistent on rewriting tools in rust?" we're tired of dealing with segfaults in the rest of our tech stack

I *still* keep learning about new pieces of widely used software @benpfaff.bsky.social written. From GNU Autoconf packaging in Debian, to GNU PSPP and to graphics contributions to the Linux Kernel. 🙇

My startup, @feldera.bsky.social, is looking for a remote #rust, Kubernetes, cloud engineer! Our founders are in the US but we have employees in Europe and Asia as well. See jobs.ashbyhq.com/feldera/9754... for details. You can apply there; feel free to post or DM questions. #rustlang

oh so everyone is like "use signal, use tor" and now that the USG is following that advice everyone's all mad?!?!???

Incremental Computation over object storage!

Feldera@feldera.bsky.social · 2y ago

📢 S3-backed Pipelines coming to Feldera! 🚀Handle datasets larger than local storage with ease using Amazon S3, Google Cloud Storage, or Azure Blob Store. Unprecedented scalability for real-time & batch processing. Preview for Enterprise users in Feb! www.feldera.com/blog/s3-back...

Have you heard of fine-grained authorization (FGA)? It uses a lot of compute, which makes it expensive. But with Feldera, you can implement it more cheaply using incremental computation. See the full story in the @feldera.bsky.social blog at: www.feldera.com/blog/fine-gr...

Solving Fine-Grained Authorization by Turning the Problem on its Head

Build a high-performance policy engine with only a few lines of SQL.

What a great demo & presentation. Easily one of the most interesting tech demos I've seen in a half decade.

Tired of slow batch processing as your data grows? @felderainc 's incremental processing maintains lightning-fast performance no matter your data size. Perfect for batch, real-time, or hybrid processing needs! ⚡️ www.feldera.com/blog/batch-p...

My mind is currently being blown running the demo locally. SQL gets compiled into Rust, you can define Rust UDFs, etc. Last time I really did any "managed" stream processing (with something like Spark, Flink) was pre Apple Silicon so feels near an order of magnitude improvement locally. Staggering.

The changes proposed here are quite exciting! SQL is huge and is implemented differently by different vendors. Ideally, we would have a single specification and consistent implementation, which would make evolving SQL with time easier.
