Dialog DB "Serverless" Replication Demo
I've been collaborating on Dialog: a new kind of database that I plan to make use of in #Familiar. At Local-First Conference I gave a hallway track demo of how users of the database may query over partial replicas (even empty replicas). Here is a screen cast of the demo: youtu.be/0a_Nb2CAoJc?...

a cup of coffee with a not so perfect latte art.
What’s interesting about latte art is that if you fail, you can’t edit the result. You have to start over with a new cup.
That gives me a moment to pause, reflect, and focus a bit more the next time. No pressure to fix it right away. Just another chance next time. 😊

we need to simultaneously build systems while questioning their foundations. creation and criticism are not opposing forces but complementary aspects of the same generative process

I think there's some overlap with spec(ulation). It mainly talks about the nature of what it means for something to be optional, making compatible changes, the (non-existent) semantics of 'LeftRightThingy' (haskel maybe) and other PL solutions for optional values

rather than pursuing perfect solutions, i'm searching for systems that can remain stable while continuously evolving - a property of complex adaptive systems that exists between rigid order and chaos
