Come on, some of you must know what I'm talking about. The "how to eat a donut" scene?

Am I too old for this site, too?

I was talking about endopolyploidy in Drosophila salivary glands, and referenced Jeff Goldblum in The Fly. They didn't know what I was talking about.

I feel old now.

It blows my mind that "sacrificial anode" works. A big hunk of metal won't corrode if only you make it touch a smaller bit of metal designed to corrode more.

You can call it "effective altruism" or eugenics or whatever you want, it's still just old-fashioned racism.

Seven years ago -- almost to the day! -- I wrote my rather unvarnished thoughts on unikernels and their fitness for production:

I have long wanted to circle back to this topic, because our experience with both Hubris and Helios at @oxidecomputer have served to broaden perspectives. Join @ahl and me tomorrow on @oxidecomputer as we revisit unikernels:

I'm pretty taciturn about talking about myself on here, but I want to express gratitude for all the people who have been brave enough to share their experiences with their various personal journeys, struggles, and realizations. Some of those stories resonated with my own, and after a lifetime I think I'm finally putting 2 + 2 together. I may yet figure out where I fit into all this. And if I do, I hope I can "pay it forward" to others.

You have my sincerest gratitude.
