God I would pay actual money dollars for a TV that just functioned as a HDMI to photon converter. I don't want much. I just want to see the photons from the HDMI frames with basically zero latency.

Today we introduce TIN: a powerful and reliable full-text search extension for Postgres. TIN works with complicated WHERE clauses, replication, backups, and maintains correct transaction visibility. It's also mind-blowingly fast.

Above a certain scale, everything is about incentive structures. That scale is smaller than you'd think. See also: "Everyone will not just" www.tumblr.com/squareallwor...
Tumblr post from squareallworthy titled "Everyone will not just". It reads:

If your solution to some problem relies on “If everyone would just...” then
you do not have a solution. Everyone is not going to just. At not time in
the history of the universe has everyone just, and they’re not going to
start now.

Maaaaaaaaan that is not what emergency alerts are for! 🙃 I get that the risk of fire spreading from BBQs is bad, but these alerts should be about immediately actionable threats to safety. A bunch of people are going to turn them off now and won’t receive them in a situation where they’re needed.
Severe Alert
Issued by the UK Government
now

There is a very high risk of wildfires
nationally. Residents, landowners and
visitors should not undertake any activity
that could start a fire, including
disposable barbecues, firepits, garden
incinerators or fireworks. Even a small
flame can rapidly develop into a major
wildfire placing lives, homes, businesses
and emergency responders at risk.

Follow official updates and report signs
of fire immediately by calling 999. Search
gov.uk/alerts for more information.

Happy Monday 🥰
Photo of a MacBook with the lid closed on a wooden table, with a cup of black coffee and a tasking notes card behind it.A closer photo of the cup of coffee and the tasti by notes card.

The coffee is “El Obraje” from Colombia. It’s a mix of geisha and bourbon, washed. The tasting notes are jasmine, nectarine, pomelo, and mangosteen.

It’s produced by Pablo Andres Guerrero. The altitude is listed as 2200m. It was roasted in Hong Kong by Loring S7.

Got up to pee in the night and clocked a speeding ticket. Talk about broken Britain! :P #EMFcamp
Photo of my hand holding a pretend speeding ticket issued by an art installation at EMF. It says “Electromagnetic Field 2026” next to the logo at the top, with “speeding ticket” in all caps as the header below.

Below that it says “This ticket hereby serves notice that this disgraceful individual was travelling at the rascally speed of:” followed by a very dark photo of me wearing a hoodie with “5.55mph” superimposed on it.
