just like no comments in code is a sign of good code, there shouldn't be a need for tooltips on an application with good design

for spooky season this year I wrote about Italo Calvino's remarkable 1967 lecture "Cybernetics and Ghosts", wherein he speculates about whether a machine could ever write great literature. joelgustafson.com/posts/2025-1...

Found some content for something I’m learning about that was written ~10yr ago on a blog, and it’s weird how it now seems slightly quaint and old-fashioned to read. There’s a sense of luxury to how it assumes you have a long attention span, and it’s sad that people don’t anymore.

i like how in math you get to say "consider a function f from... etc" without any preamble and other mathematicians just have to consider it

finally wrote a short post about how the "spatial feed" works in Aurora! the spatial feed shows you posts, in real-time, from the neighborhood you're looking at. it's a brand new kind of discovery interface!

✨ new blog post from me and @raymond.bsky.social: "serializable transactions for peer-to-peer databases" we describe "eventually consistent rollback", a new way of handling conflicts in concurrent database transactions. ECR gives you atomicity and serializability, but not finality.

a good chaser to this hogwash publiccomment.blog/p/you-ll-nev...
The purveyors of these tools treat this as a kind of freedom: you’ll never have to think alone again. Your teachers can’t force you to spend hours chipping away at a single essay — you can plug their essay prompt into an app and then use your time however you want. But while startups like Cluely promise freedom, they’re actually selling a form of voluntary subjugation. Because if you never learn to think — if you never spend enough time in intercourse with yourself to really get to know who you are —then you’ll never act freely. You’ll become one of those who, to again quote Arendt, “dispose of a set of learned or innate rules which we then apply to the particular case as it arises, so that every new experience or situation is already prejudged and we need only act out whatever we learned or possessed beforehand.”

That is not the life of a free person but of an automaton. Or, more accurately, it’s the life of an ideal totalitarian subject.

www.asayers.com/jetrelay/ [...] jetrelay, a pub/sub server compatible with Bluesky’s “jetstream” data feed. Using a few pertinent Linux kernel features, it avoids doing almost any work itself. As a result, it’s highly efficient: it can saturate a 10 Gbps network connection with just 8 CPU cores.
