<p>A couple weeks ago I went to Systems we Love!
|
|
There’s a list of <a href="https://blog.bradfieldcs.com/all-the-talks-from-systems-we-love-debcd9cffca#.o499a5isd">all the talks here</a>. A few of my favorites: (they’re all 20 minutes)</p>
|
|
<p><a href="https://youtu.be/TPe6UXMDMGM?t=5h55m17s">A Race Detector Unfurled</a> by
|
|
Kavya Joshi was definitely my favorite talk of the conference. She
|
|
explains how the Go race detector works super super clearly. I didn’t
|
|
know anything about the topic, and now I do!</p>
|
|
<p>7074 says Hello World by Marianne Bellotti was another of my favorites.
|
|
I think sadly it wasn’t recorded, but it talked about where mainframes
|
|
fit in in the US government’s technology, and about what it’s like to
|
|
have to integrate with them.</p>
|
|
<p>I liked <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TPe6UXMDMGM&feature=youtu.be&t=2h25m9s">Less Ado about NTP</a>, mostly because it laid out really
|
|
clearly the <strong>assumptions</strong> about the NTP system, specifically that the
|
|
latency from computer A to computer B is the same as the latency from
|
|
computer B to computer A. It made me want to learn more about NTP!</p>
|
|
<p><a href="https://youtu.be/TPe6UXMDMGM?t=7h4m4s">DNS and the Art of Making Systems “Just Complex Enough”</a> by Alex Wilson is an
|
|
interesting discussion about the design of DNS. It talks about how the DNS
|
|
spec goes out of its way to say “hey, if you don’t understand a record,
|
|
you have to pass it on verbatim”. This is a great example of a design
|
|
decision that helps you upgrade a protocol gradually over time!</p>
|
|
<p><a href="https://youtu.be/TPe6UXMDMGM?t=7h51m20s">An AWK Love Story</a> is also
|
|
super good. I’ve been confused by awk for a long time and this helped me
|
|
understand a little better how it’s used.</p>
