Biggest surprise of the night so far is Russia calling in bomb threats in liberal areas: 1. They're not hiding it — using russian emails, etc. 2. Making it very clear they need/want Trump

It's funny how little talk there is about Kamala being the first women & asian-american US President. Way more with Obama & Hillary. The spectre of Trump v2 seems to overshadow it.

Daikon Radish is the best cover crop. It grows crazy fast and you can eat it! I planted these area 55 days ago at the end of August. The plant I harvested tonight for some soup had a 13 oz root and after destemming, I got 6.5 oz of greens.

Neat trick — you can screenshot a doordash search result into gemini and ask it for the google map reviews of each of them — doordash reviews are useless it seems

A hill I'll die on — city golf courses are horrendous exclusionary wastes of space. They should all be converted to houses and giant parks.

We had a brief power outage that got me wondering what is the horse equivalent of electricity usage per household. Chatgpt estimates around 12. For whatever that's worth. https://chatgpt.com/share/6712b64a-5fa8-800c-a5a3-3c136fd738eb

We've been using sst.dev for building Electric Cloud & it's fantastic. I took a bit this morning to move my blog over to s3 — the SST code is 36 lines — very efficient. https://github.com/KyleAMathews/blog/commit/150ce9cc0364e22211d6844b28957167b02be228#diff-6ae5efcb80db51f4b137515e1674caaf950405317e84e2961cf38f9d3a1804b9

Little market signal. Weird recruiter spam "you starred this random repo on GitHub that we have a small connection to!" has started up again.

It's funny how little I know about Texas. I've only been there a few times and I know almost no one from there. For many other parts of the US I know lots of detailed facts but Texas just feels internally like a scattered graph of cliches 🤔

Cosmic Crisp has started its decline. Every great new apple starts exceptional in the stores e.g. Braeburn, Pink Lady, and Honeycrisp and then the quality gradually declined to flavorless nonsense. It seems that big growers come in a bit later and they've learned to game the system by producing far more apples / acre at the expense of flavor. The only solution is to cease the means of production and plant a home orchard.

🤔 about product principles for @ElectricSQL 1. sync directly out of your primary data store (PG) 2. sync is the default — so it needs to be hugely scalable, fast, and have costs in line with fetching 3. sync is simple and unopinionated and fits with your existing toolchain

Local First in 2025 will be like React in 2016. If you want your app to stand out, it's what you're learning and implementing.
