Husband recently bought this game, Klask, originally from Denmark, popular mostly in Europe - it is like a mini version of foosball with magnets. Six-year old has zero interest, but I have not been able to stop playing it.

“I’d rather not go down this rabbit hole today”

I know provenance & lineage have been researched to death in db academia. Has anything really taken off in industry practice?

IAM policies will be the death of me

Archbishop Desmond Tutu, in his infinite wisdom, understood type safety.

await/async patterns in JS are so cumbersome and unintuitive… just let me chain on promises.

One week with grandparents and 6-year old is grandmaster at rummy.

Using 5 Whys for postmortems - I wonder what the success rate of this is to find RC

This poor little mite washed up on our parking lot during the crazy downpour yesterday in Raleigh.

Tuning claude.MD is a painful process… we need to distinguish times when determinism and precision are required vs fuzzy ambiguous instruction.

I’ve been watching the german show Dark on Netflix, and it’s the most mind-boggling thing I’ve seen in quite a while…

I love taking pics of interesting old trees. This giant, Moreton Bay Fig tree, in Balboa park, San Diego, is about 110 years old, planted for the 1915 exposition in celebration of the Panama Canal.

Whoa, two year non-competes in trading. If non-competes were not banned in California, I doubt SV would be where it’s at for innovation.

Jane street is creative in how it competes for talent 👏

Nice article. But, even without monetary/vc pressures, I wonder about the not-yet-enshittified unicorns - things like curl, sqllite, linux - unless Linus and the rest somehow live forever, the baton will pass to someone…

It’s interesting to see what folks use for basic calculator:

- bc

I myself keep switching between these.

The little things count.

Brush off all the liquid glass hype, the most glossed over thing is local llm access for app owners. Well done, .

It’s too funny on the other site !!

Belfast.

Tends to work if groups in a time zone/region own their own space with very few interdependencies.

The big advantage is one can potentially get 24/7 operational support without anyone waking up for a 3am on call 😬

spark4 coming full circle to a db:

Variant data type seemingly like jsonb, sql udfs for portability and optimizer transparency, ansi-sql standard.

Wow, pipe syntax is getting more adoption, that’s impressive.

Refreshing take - for a long time after the pandemic, there was a ton of hate for people who genuinely liked to RTO. Great to see the other side of this.

Underrated about remote work - the fact that I can pace around at home, in deep thought, with no worries about people thinking I’m digging a hole into the ground. #AreYouAPacer

Acronym burnout is real

Side hustle FTW.

I know how to ride a bike, but only recreationally. I would 💯 pay someone to teach me how to ride on the road (defensively) alongside cars… there are so many underrated ways to disrupt transit life and get more people out of cars.

Expats’ first intro to US health insurance:
“what do YOU MEAN the x-ray machine is not in-network?”

Doesn’t matter, parents like to hear it.✌️

No question, Airbnb is looking to be the Apple App Store for in-person experiences/services.
