My internal math hobbyist and philosopher balks every time I see unbounded Flink tables referred to as “infinite”, but I’ll let y’all have it as a loanword

This is a screenshot from the ATProto docs. No leading $, no newline business that gets messed up when I copy this over to the terminal. Might seem trivial, but the seconds it takes to get to a locally running an app so devs can follow along the tutorial are critical. The fewer, the better.

Thanks for the write up, Maggie! Spent the weekend moving house but if I get a spare moment to myself this week I plan to crack my knuckles and give DeepSeek a spin on my personal laptop… probably some side project with ATProto

The lively and happy dev community around ATProto is a great value signal.

been reading a lot of comments today about how people find man pages hard to read and it made me mad (why do they have to be so hard!) so I'm giving away 300 copies of Bite Size Command Line to folks for whom $12 is a lot of money! (with code BUYONEGIVEONE) wizardzines.com/zines/bite-s...

Bsky looks like X but could just as easily been an old school forum. It’s all in the ATProtocol and positions bsky for an increasingly fractionated social media landscape. Read up: arxiv.org/html/2402.03... and bsky.social/about/blog/5...

Those “brag docs” are great references for when you want to make a case for yourself professionally to others (promotion season etc). But they are even more important for your own bad days. If you don’t have one, think about it for a New Year’s resolution

Data viz friends, are you aware of any stickers that are specifically meant for creating charts? Doing a manual repo viz exercise and I'm probably just going to order some planner stickers but I'm curious

Did you know that user follows in atproto work like hyperlinks? User A follows user B, that means that there's only a follow record in A's repo. Universal indexing takes care of B's list.

Why Netflix crashed @ Mike Tyson vs Jake Paul 🥊 *120M+ streaming = server TKO 💥*Despite 17k+ edge servers & Chaos 🐒 resilience, they wasn’t ready for real-time streaming. Issue: VOD ≠ Live Streaming Live streaming needs: •Zero buf & predictive cach •Near-zero latency •Real-time data processing
