Preparing for interview to FAANG / Working in FAANG
Working on Local-First software, research, or libraries? Curious about user agency, CRDTs, and emerging UX and DX patterns? @martinkl and I are hosting a Local-First Unconference Sept 23 in St. Louis (i.e. the day after Strange Loop). See the post below for more 👀🎟️✨
Working on Local-First software, research, or libraries? Curious about user agency, CRDTs, and emerging UX and DX patterns? @martinkl and I are hosting a Local-First Unconference Sept 23 in St. Louis (i.e. the day after Strange Loop). See the post below for more 👀🎟️✨
We are planning two events for the local-first community: • September 23 in St. Louis, MO, USA (after Strange Loop) • October 24 in Cascais, Portugal (at SPLASH) 2023.splashcon.org/home/plf-2023 Submissions for Cascais are open; for St. Louis, please let me know if you want to attend!
I'll be speaking at @strangeloop_stl about our recent research on collaborative text editing. Sad that this will be the final Strange Loop! thestrangeloop.com/2023/new-algor…
Terrific work by @molly0xFFF @web3isgreat
One week remaining to register for our summer school if you're interested! More details now available on the website soft.vub.ac.be/dare23/

This clever crow figured out how to pull up the bin bag and hold it with its claws so that it can reach the food inside. Seen today in Munich
New paper! 📄✨ It turns out that all text collaboration algorithms have an interleaving problem, and we fixed it for the first time. Very proud of this work with @MatthewWeidner3 and @josephgentle arxiv.org/abs/2305.00583

Hi @Eurostar, is it ok to bring this type of pram (with bassinet) onto your trains? The frame is foldable but the bassinet is not. Not sure whether the bassinet will fit in the overhead compartment, and the website help.eurostar.com/faq/be-en/ques… is not clear on what counts as “folding”
📝 Really enjoyed the 'local-first' talk from @pvh and the perspective shift from the binary offline/online to a spectrum of latency: offline is just online but with extreme latency. blog.jim-nielsen.com/2023/offline-i…
Pleased to announce that the application for the first Summer School on Distributed and Replicated Environments (DARE 2023) to be held at VUB on 11 - 15 September is open until 15 May 2023. See all details at tinyurl.com/DARE2023
I’m co-organising a summer school on distributed systems for master’s and PhD students, along with @xmal, @anne_biene, Carla Ferreira, and @elisagboix. It will be in Brussels in September. Great opportunity to work with some leading researchers! vub.be/dare-2023
There are now over 150 published papers about CRDTs (let me know if any are missing). Feels like it’s becoming a real field of research! crdt.tech/papers.html
One of the things I'm most excited for is partnering with the LibSQL folks to create a custom syntax for defining tables which are backed by CRDTs! LibSQL is truly getting SQLite ready for the coming decades -- github.com/libsql/libsql vlcn.io/cr-sqlite/cust…

the problem with advice like this — never write a database, never roll your own crypto, never write a programming language, etc — is that if you want to use a database, or do TLS, or write programs, *somebody* has to to write the databases/crypto/programming languages
That's it. That's the talk. "Never write a database. Even if you want to, even if you think you should. Resist. Never write a database. Unless you have to write a database. But you don't." I will present this talk at any conference of your choosing.
There are two ways that I love to build web apps: Server First and Local First. 1. Server First (Remix today). HTTP+HTML are the base API, assume a connection, or talk to service workers as if you're talking to a server. This has the potential for very fast page loads, "land…

@martinkl Arguably, one benefit that languages which use async/await syntax have over lightweight threads is that they don't hide I/O so much. You have a marker in code which tells you "this method call is relatively expensive, slow, and may fail"
@martinkl Some other poor soul ordered a book on Witchcraft and is wondering why their spells are all coming out in shards
@martinkl Mine looks like an original from OReilly, yet came with a sacrifice bug on page 317, dark witchcraft clearly involved. Remember the moth in the relay logged back in the 40's? Never forget! ;)
@martinkl Any sufficiently advanced technology book is indistinguishable from witchcraft
