This is the other real value of the rollup-centric roadmap, besides scaling: it’s the ability to experiment, see what works, and evolve https://x.com/dmihal/status/1783111817608495418?s=46

We’re behind the UAE now. Actually I think the UAE should be higher on this list (great in every respect except for personal freedom), but anyway Canada seems to be falling in these rankings generally https://www.economist.com/graphic-detail/2024/03/13/which-countries-have-the-best-and-worst-living-standards

mev-boost prints this log when it tries to get a block: "getHeader request start - xx milliseconds into slot" What are good, normal and bad timings for that?

This is a decent list. I’ve read all except “From Worst to First” and “The Ride of a Lifetime”, and I’d recommend any of them https://zaidesanton.substack.com/p/10-must-reads-for-engineering-leaders

"If Jason and I are not revisiting 10% of the decisions made, we’re not delegating enough, we’re not delegating quickly enough." (Also more on "disagree and commit" since I posted something else about that here recently.) https://37signals.com/podcast/disagree-and-commit/

It seems to me that the best way to support solo stakers with grants or donations is via Smoothly. The smoothing pool is growing and I think it will become a large proportion of solo stakers.

Retired people live on capital gains. And the way things are going, by the time most Canadians retire $250k will be worth so little that it will affect everyone. That’s tax fairness.

As a long-time frequent flyer I’m certain beyond any doubt that boarding became slower after they changed to boarding by “zone” instead of by row

Today I’m happy to have server hardware with a built in remote KVM. I just fixed a crashed server from the beach in Thailand. (Failed hard drive preventing it from booting)

This thread was epic. I’ve been sitting on the Quilibrium white paper for a while, really should read it now!

This channel could use a bit more spam control. I imagine it’s a difficult job in a channel this size

If you're not using /rabby already, I'm curious... why not? Being cautious with a new product? Haven't heard of it? Or tried it and didn't like it for some reason? Or using something else you love (if so, what?!)
