"Delve' is not a fancy word. It's one syllable. It's been used continuously for 6000 years. It's a word a child would know. Shakespeare used it. This is unacceptable for an educated native English speaker.

This is why TigerBeetle was designed to run on raw NVMe, replacing the filesystem with end-to-end checksums, for best performance and safety. Then again… With a storage fault model, TB is also designed (and tested) to recover from faulty I/O (if you must run on a filesystem).

Shameful confession - I've started using rust again. Going much better. The trick is to never listen to the compiler when it says "hey you've upset the borrow checker, try this!". That just makes it worse. Instead refer back to the documentation to make sense of the first error.

The meaning of the term "CRDT" is really starting to drift. Libraries like automerge and yjs are just *implementations* that happen to be a CRDT. But the idea of a CRDT itself is much older. I've seen "proto-CRDTs" described as far back as 4 decades.

What *exactly* are microservices? Where did they come from? They got a lot of hype. Then a lot of backlash. But I have to admit my mental model of them is basically "HTTP Server is too tightly coupled to another HTTP server" Or is it more like the Actor Model for slow learners?

Unfortunately Zig is not all sunshine and rainbows :/ Compiler error messages are usually pretty good but sometimes you get some real mysteries.

Listened to this yesterday from @TigerBeetleDB . Now I'm playing around with Zig again. Will the Rust VS Zig war in my heart ever stop?

@DominikTornow @jorandirkgreef @TigerBeetleDB Probably the best talk of 2023. I'm as guilty of anyone of trying to code my way out of a problem space I don't fully understand yet. It's great to see design brought back to the forefront.

I cannot believe how much more productive I am in F# than I am in Rust. Kicking myself for trying to be productive in Rust for so long for zero benefit. (YMMV if it works for you I'm glad)

@amuldotexe @vaibhaw_vipul All I know is I live across the road from a small local trucking company, and next door to a farm that has trucks transporting livestock, and all of them are still driven by humans despite what was predicted 5-10 years ago. So I'm sceptical on the AI coding.

It's very cool to see so many people on the internet that are into reading computer science papers. I used to feel like the odd man out for even trying, but now social media has normalised my behaviour!!!

Crazy idea: a “behind Database Internals” reading group. Like database internals reading group but instead we’re going to read the most notable references. Probably will take us about a year (reading all will def take us way over a year). Yay or nay?
