a metaphor I've been pondering: post-WWII nuclear tests irradiated the atmosphere, making all steel smelted after carried a background radiation. for high-precision instruments, you had to salvage pre-test steel from sunken ships.

i'm beginning to understand the appeal of HCL as a configuration format over YAML. HCL has built-in variables, effectively providing a native templating engine. with YAML, we often have to use macros just to battle the indentation and ensure the correct number of spaces with some Jinja variants. 😲

in my earlier understanding, distributed systems usually featured a fine-grained metadata service for cluster membership. however, I've recently noticed that many systems' implementations seem to prefer a fixed cluster design. 🤔 once the cluster is established, its membership becomes immutable.

i believe household chores should be considered internal domestic logistics. for instance, handling the movement of clothing between the washing machine, drying space, and wardrobe. or dishes moving between the dining table, dishwasher, and cupboard.. 🤔

I do understand why so many articles talk about how vibe coding can destroy the joy of programming.
however, I've never found that any joy exists in manually writing GitHub/Jenkins workflows. 🤔

At long last, @chris.blue and I have submitted the final manuscript of Designing Data-Intensive Applications, second edition, to the publisher. There is always more that could be improved but at some point we just have to call it done. Now it goes into production; probably shipping in ~4 months.

what an amazing journey! after working through this step by step, we finally have a functional transaction API with SSI support. hope it proves useful! 😁

SlateDB has transactions. A year in the making. Lots of testing to do, but the APIs are there. This was all @flaneur2024.bsky.social. 🙏 I am very excited about this feature.
