PSA: Please upgrade your hubs to 1.11.6. Starting tomorrow, warpcast will start gossiping bundles, and if your hub isn't on 1.11.6, it will start to miss messages and fall behind!

A new Hubble release (1.11.6) is just out with support for Message Bundles! This should reduce bandwidth consumed by hubs, while simultaneously improving perf and reliability. It's not turned on yet - When all hubs upgrade, we'll turn on the feature and start gossiping bundles (ETA: next week)

A new version of Hubble (v 1.11.5) was just published, with lots of perf improvements, crash fixes and improved support for SSD disks. Upgrading is recommended :)

This book reminds me of a Private Equity firm that buys a flailing B2B software company to squeeze out every last penny from its product, all the while running the company itself into the ground.

I first tried Go a few years ago, but I found the if err != nil { return nil, err } really annoying. I felt like I was typing these 3 lines every 4 lines. Anyway, I tried it again this week, and Copilot's autocomplete of the error handling blocks makes writing Go code soooo much more pleasant!

Bad news: To make EIP 712 signatures work in Go, you have to manually increment the 65th byte of the signature by 27 to make it work (!!) Good news: Github Co-pilot knows this, and auto completed `sig[64] += 27` at the end of my function without me prompting (or even knowing about this)

Surprisingly difficult to find Go code to produce EIP 712 signatures. All code on the interweb shows how to verify EIP 712 signatures in Go, but none show how to produce it No one building web3 stuff in Go? 🤔

Wildly interesting book that talks about various legal systems through history. Made me realize things we think are absolute - Moral right, Fairness, Justice, Equality - have drifted over time and geography. What we consider to be morally and legally correct today might be seen as "wrong" by future generations.

@horsefacts.eth Is there any example code or docs that show how to call the Bundler contract from, say, Javascript or Typescript?

McCullough wrote great biographies of historical figures - his Wright Brother's book is amazing! This slightly unusual book about how Ohio was first settled is also fantastic. Written biography style - but the biography of the Ohio river - and the challenges faced by the early settlers when they first arrived there.

When i first started coding, the IDEs "intellisense" feature, which auto-completed function and variable names was mind-blowing to me. But now Github Copilot does a better job, and I find the intellisense completions are just annoying. Disabled them today. End of an era.

On a side project, I've falling down the rabbit hole of terminal UIs. Stumbled upon [Ink](https://github.com/vadimdemedes/ink) which uses React (!!) to render a UI in the terminal. Quite cool. Thinking of writing a full UI for my app in nodejs/typescript using this

20 years late, but I finally read "The Satanic Verses". Totally baffled. I don't understand what all the fuss was about and why everyone got upset? Very interesting book though - Distinct writing style, moves fast, and keeps you baffled. Although I must admit, I didn't get what this book was saying! Oh, well.

Andy Weir is loved for writing "hard" science fiction, but I also like his books because they are optimistic. Technology is positive, problems can be solved, the protagonists believe in moving forward. Values sorely lacking in modern Sci-Fi, which all seems to be "technology bad, progress bad" Great read!

Advances in probability theory were made by gamblers who thought they were cheating the will of God. Blaise Pascal was a degenerate, in and out of the church more than Demi Levato in rehab, relapsing into math like an addict. In an age when the Church had a monopoly over God, doing risk math was an act of rebellion.

There's something meditative about a nerd talking about their field of expertise. And if the nerd in question is a writer, they can write about writing in a deeply enjoyable way. This "A biographer's biography" is Caro's description of how he worked and researched his fantastic books. Very satisfying

A book about the history of the shipping container should be the most boring book in the world, but this is absolutely fascinating. Marc makes the case that the shipping container *caused* bigger ships, cheaper goods, increased automation, more trade and globalization itself. 8/10
