The second edition of Designing Data-Intensive Applications, by myself and @chris.blue, is finished and sent off to the printers! Ebooks should be available in the next week, and print books in 3–4 weeks. Sigh of relief. 😅 (BTW, this is a good opportunity to support your favourite local bookshop!)

i often think about this review

From: The Peltoncast To: The Listener Happy Valentine's Day!

So much of our present crisis is coddled, ignorant, and short sighted people tearing down the institutions that protect them because they don’t understand that bad things can happen.

Just got off a call with Paul Rothrock and I think this quote probably sums it it: “It's fucking cool to be a Sounder.”

A couple months ago, @hyperfixedpod.bsky.social collaborated with baker and dessert detective Claire Saffitz on recreating a beloved cake, simply by descriptions and photos of that cake. And now Claire has a video on how to make it! Good luck and happy munchin’

I’m quoting this because it is a very fair point for which I have an answer: The first thing is to recognize that in a democracy there is no such thing as “ the majority.” Instead, there are many and multiple overlapping majorities that can be assembled from different parts of the whole.

@deck.blue Is there a way to enable something like infinite scroll? I pretty quickly hit the bottom of my home column and don't see a way to load more (older) posts. Perhaps there is something obvious I am missing? Thanks for all you do!

I loved the idea of flowing locks alluding to Emrakul's tentacles - as if she's disguising herself with a glamour of sorts. Painted after Alphonse Mucha's 1896 poster for Job cigarette paper.

Outraged by Jan 6, he spent two years getting inside the top ranks of militias like the Oath Keepers. He was stunningly successful. He penetrated a new generation of militia leaders, which included doctors, cops & government attorneys. This is his story. www.propublica.org/article/ap3-...
