Rewatched a childhood movie tonight. It’s funny how different it feels when you’re older, but the nostalgia is still there.

Had a random conversation with a stranger at the coffee shop today. It was surprisingly nice to connect with someone new.

I’ve been trying to grow a plant for six months and it finally sprouted today. It’s a small victory, but I’ll take it.

Spent the day without any screens, just reading and enjoying the quiet. I should do this more often.

Ordered takeout from a new place and they gave me a free dessert. It’s the little surprises that make life sweet.

Started learning to play the guitar. My fingers hurt, but at least I can kind of play "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star."

I accidentally left a pen in my pocket before doing laundry. Now everything I own has a blue tint.

The sky was so clear tonight that I could see Mars with the naked eye. Sometimes you just have to look up.

Discovered an old journal from high school. Apparently, I was very serious about becoming a rock star.

Tried meditating for the first time today. My brain wouldn’t stop thinking about lunch. Is that normal?

Gas at 1 Gwei, what chainkeeping chores are you doing?

I'm not a fan of fiction books.

Fiction relies on made-up characters, plots, and metaphors to explore aspects of reality and human nature.

I find it much more fun to learn the core ideas presented directly.

Had a very SF moment just now:
I was in a self driving car and passed by a Party for Socialism and Liberation demonstration with people holding a big "the people voted, Maduro won" banner.
The two sides of SF…

Syncing > Querying.

Anywhere you query for data you should consider syncing data instead.

CDN-backed syncing means your data loads faster you get real-time updates for free.

It's like having mini PG read replicas scattered across your system.

What is fundamentally interesting about the shift from query -> sync?

Both answer the question: "how do I copy data from the database?"

Sync gives you two huge advantages:

1. built-in caching so cheap distribution of data via CDNs
2. real-time updates so no stale data

There is no American “housing crisis”— there’s a supply-hoarding crisis to rig local market prices above the liquidity of local buyer capital. 

The policy solution is simple: poison-pill tax all non-occupant-owned housing to force immediate sale to local buyers at actual market rates.

Allowing unlimited non-local capital to supply-hoard vacant housing is simply anti-resident eugenics. Current residents are too poor, so replace them with richer ones— even if it causes widespread homelessness, forced migration and absurd energy costs for the displaced to commute. It’s as discriminatory as Federal Housing Administration redlining of black neighborhoods in the 1940s.

I don't agree with the viewpoint precisely but god is this discourse a breath of fresh air
