    Wrote this little theoretical performance guide. It contains a bunch of ideas that have been super helpful while building most of the systems I've worked on as an engineer. It's fairly language and system agnostic, focusing on a number of timeless ideas.

    An interesting mechanism in German democracy is the concept of "fortified democracy" where they observe (the AfD is under watch) then outlaw political groups that try to undermine democracy. Far from perfect, but it would be useful in the US right now.

    This book was surprisingly deep on a few topics that I was not expecting from something with such a broad scope. I really recommend it to anyone who wants to read more about the struggle to bring dignity to people who have jobs. Even highly well-read folks will fill some gaps.

    Poland has drafted a plan to try to get EU Just Transition funding, proposing Belchatow's closure in 2036. This is unacceptable. The 1972 Limits to Growth BAU2 model that we have been closely matching indicates that society will collapse around 2040.

    Two of the world's worst-polluting and out-of-date power plants are in Poland and Germany. The world's dirtiest power plant is named Belchatow lol

    Realizing that in that very-possible-during-my-lifetime scenario that I would probably not pass up the opportunity to collect some in a lead box or something just out of stupid curiosity (a bow in my poison collection's bonnet) made me realize why nuclear power is a mistake.

    Ok who WOULDN'T randomly acquire some nuclear waste just to have for fun once deadly climate change causes governments to fail abruptly and existing nuclear security forces to focus on keeping their own families alive instead of protecting their poison?

    It feels so good to have switched to an 8 hour workweek. The weather is warm, I've got like 2k pages of Haymarket Historical Materialism books about to arrive, and I have a huge spike in database motivation as I consider doing a PhD, after learning that sled lets me skip master's

    Playing around with a simple typed epoch-based reclamation that avoids sending garbage across cores except when one thread terminates with objects that are not yet reclaimable. Lower latency + higher throughput than other Rust EBR's I've measured against.

    I agree with the creator of Dogecoin

    After years of studying it, I believe that cryptocurrency is an inherently right-wing, hyper-capitalistic technology built primarily to amplify the wealth of its proponents through a combination of tax avoidance, diminished regulatory oversight and artificially enforced scarcity.

    Also lots of strange details about things that you can still see today, which were misinterpreted at the time due to such narrow access to information.

    Flipping through this English guy's 1814 travel log from Heligoland/Hamburg, through Berlin and to Sweden is really fascinating. Lots of things are the same as traveling today: passports, baggage getting delayed. But war is everywhere and almost casual.
