- I tell you one thing when I go to America, why do the beers suck so badly?
In the UK, we have:
- Madri
- Peroni
- Moretti
- San Miguel
- Amstel
In America, I get Budweiser 😷 or some IPA! I'm guessing importing is expensive, but America is the biggest buyer of Range Rover cars, a UK car, so why can't they have good beer?!

migrate from Dbeaver -> DataGrip

Been fullly JetBrains pilled :)
- Actix vs Rocket is a hard pick in Rust. Rocket can handle a few more requests per second, but Actix uses half the memory and CPU of Rocket, which is pretty huge!
- If you search deep enough, you'll find it 👀
- Terraforms are such time savers; not using them in infra should be illegal if you have many environments.

- Ownership is more than just having your name on something; it's about the freedom to make it work for you. Remember when the internet first came around? It wasn't exactly user-friendly until people started innovating with it and making it easy to use. That's the essence of open protocols and ownership: it empowers you to turn something basic into something amazing.
But ownership is not just about saying "mine." It's about the possibilities it opens up. The web, for example, isn't controlled by a single entity. It's a space where anyone can contribute, innovate, and share. DNS is governed by a none-profit and as long as you follow the laws you own your domain and can do whatever you want with it. The same goes for things like your home or car. You have the freedom to use them as you see fit, rent them out, or simply enjoy them, all within legal bounds.
The notion that corporations control everything goes against the very nature of the internet. Time and time again, we've seen that putting all our eggs in one corporate basket just doesn't work, these corporation only focus is to drain as much from their userbase which benefits them, trusting them isn’t an option. The future is about individuals having ownership and control in the digital realm, powered by the community. This vision of decentralized ownership has been the heartbeat of internet innovation for decades.
Let's aim for a world where ownership is shared and inclusive, steering clear of the endless loop of corporate dominance. We're building a future where everyone has a stake and can truly enjoy what they own.
Let’s learn and draw inspiration from the web, which has sparked unprecedented innovation and transformed the world, why not apply this mindset to social dynamics as well?

- Ownership is a basic freedom that means you don’t have to ask for permission to do something new
- “To be universal, protocols must be unopinionated.
Email and the web do not moderate content; they have one job: reliably delivering information.
If the protocols were to do the policing, they would become fragmented and dysfunctional; different counties have different laws.”
- The web was founded in 1989, but the web only started to go mainstream in 1993 (4 years later) when the Mosaic web browser was released, allowing anyone to start using the web easily. This shows if you build something even as powerful as the web, nobody will use it if you don’t have a good client.
- Coding interface design is one of the most important factors in mass adoption when designing a protocol; if the interface sucks, nobody is going to grow, extend, or leverage it.

- I just read this, and it is an excellent way of putting things:
A hash/checksum proves "what"
A signature proves "who"
A blockchain proves "when"
A smart contract proves "how"

Alternative clients are important, we should support them!

- 40x faster then docker - https://depot.dev/ 😱
- Has anyone used https://www.dragonflydb.io before?
Big statements saying it can do 25x more queries per second than Redis and 12x faster snapshotting than Redis.
It has the same API as Redis, so an actual vampire attack, need to try it for sure!

- Once a month, I must think about what would happen if virtual reality technology gets so good that people would rather live in the virtual world as a fake character or whoever they want to be than in the real world. They plug into a machine in their home and then live in the virtual world. The internet is kind of step 1, showing that this would be wanted and people do it now; on the internet, you can be whoever you want, but imagine levelling that up so that you could go into a world which feels exactly like what we feel now and you will be able to be whoever and do whatever you want. The normal earth would not be as fun as the virtual world; all your friends and family would be in the virtual world, not the real world - scary thought mainly because I can imagine that to happen.
- If you can take a very complex topic and explain it so it makes sense to anyone, you should understand that skill is very rare!
- When WhatsApp was created, they used an open-source queue processor package which processed all their billions of messages; they used it as it came and just set up the config for it to work (as it was built for). They didn’t recreate the wheel; they didn’t spend months/years building something already solved; they used something already open for all, which ticked all their needs; this part of the system is fundamentally the core part. They then sold the company for 19B with 35 engineers and 55 employees. 💡
- Explaining baseline concepts of zk(zero-knowledge) vs optimistic tech to a 5 year old:
Imagine you and your friends have a magic notebook that keeps track of your trades of stickers and candies. But you want to make sure no one cheats and that everything is fair, so you come up with two special ways to check:
1. **Optimistic Magic Checking**- In this way, everyone agrees to trust each other at first. When someone writes a new trade in the notebook, everyone believes it's true without checking right away. But there's a special rule: if someone thinks a trade is unfair or wrong, they can challenge it. Then, everyone takes a closer look together to make sure. If the trade was indeed unfair, it gets erased, and the one who tried to cheat gets a small timeout.
2. **ZK Magic Checking**- This method uses a special magic trick. Every time someone writes a trade in the notebook, they also use a secret magic spell that proves their trade is fair and follows the rules, but without showing everyone the details of the trade. It's like saying, "I promise this is true, and here's a magic trick to prove it, but I won't tell you my secret." This way, everyone knows the trade is fair right from the start without needing to know everything about it.
Both ways help make sure that everyone plays fair, but they do it differently. The Optimistic way trusts first but checks if someone complains, while the ZK way proves everything is fair from the beginning without giving away any secrets.
- It’s pretty remarkable how the Apple iPhone is the one thing I can honestly say that I don’t think anything could make me change from it.
They have done such an excellent job from the hardware to the software to the design; we don’t often think about it, but it’s incredibly impressive executing something that hard so well. 🤯
