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!)

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.

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.
Most of the criticisms are fairly weak, but he does make the valid point that Americans are not as progressive as we wish they were. How do we achieve these goals when the majority of people are so ignorant and wrong about everything that they voted for Trump?

@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.

This story for the New Yorker is the culmination of many years of reporting on and thinking about one thing: What's the deal with pitching? It was nice to reconnect with people I know from the baseball world, and I have now seen the inside of a person's elbow.

Baseball Reaches Its Breaking Point
An elbow-injury epidemic has become an existential threat to the sport, prompting the M.L.B. to brainstorm new solutions, such as the use of a heavier ball.
