Reading through "The Joy of Abstraction" and it's neat so far. I feel like I finally get what a monad is and why it relates to programming after like 15 years of meming about it.
Remember kids, if you still feel intense bloodlust after having a snack and drinking water it means it's time to blast some funky music and clean the house till it goes away.

It worked out! I have practice from attending several talks during the online OurNetworks conf a few years ago :P
Meeting conflict? Just attend them both at once

Excited for the goat simulator direct today. Hope it's a new DLC or something.

read Javi's post from last month about Chromium's Ed25519 implementation to learn about the challenges in getting the last bits over the finish line.

we whipped up a bittorrent swarm that has 200TB of proven storage in like a month by cobbling together everyone's random hard drives. storing 200TB on s3 would cost at least $4.5k per month and would cost $10,000 to download it one time.
why is the cloud good
The MMORPG DLC for Goat Simulator is probably my fave DLC ever. It hit all the right nostalgia buttons the first time I played it.
Nihilism
How do I skip nihilism and jump right to absurdism? Is there a book or something to cure the doom?

@matrix has gone from $0 to $561K in recurring revenue in just 2 years. But our expenses run $1.2M/yr.
We've burned through reserves and are at a crossroads.
It's the classic FOSS funding problem: use and adoption are at an all-time high, wealthy companies and countries use it, and secure decentralized comms have never been more important. And yet we can't pay our bills.

Got the Goat Simulator remaster. I love this series so much 
Picovoice would be so great if they didn't have all these restrictions for personal use. Needing internet and tiny amounts of "minutes per month" (for locally processed audio mind you) is unfortunate.
Gotta mute all references to Medium.com on here. Few things fill me with as much rage as articles that bait and switch to "You need to make an account and use an app to read this". Writers that use medium for publishing: Fuck you, but only a little.
Low key love identifying race conditions in decentralized systems

I increasingly think that what we culturally conceptualize as being a programmer is a lot less about knowing or using a programming language and a lot more about knowing how to use the whole computer instead of just the parts that have been nicely packaged for you by the corpos or volunteers
