maximal fanout: 235

they don't mention what size of page they're using for this btree, but at the smallest it will be 4k.

i'm currently leaning towards 16k pages for the HOT. fun thing is i can squeeze 2 layers into a page, so it's effectively a 1024-way branch in a page. so the wins could be substantial here.

Okay, let me be random for a second.

This being Fedi, I know there will be someone reading this who is a chronically depressed, poly disaster transfem always narrowly avoiding poverty by being a somewhat-but-not-really successful self-employed freelance web developer, who has strong opinions about the modern web, free software, the semantic web and structured data, and who kind-of-but-not-really mourns what XHTML could have been while actually thinking HTML5 as written is kinda neat, but who is constantly forced by Society (tm) to work with React, Wordpress and awful bloated web app frameworks to create terrible, non-semantic style-first web applications for ungrateful clients.

I can't guarantee anything but let's say, I know someone who needs a static website for their business. Hypothetically, uh, where could that someone reach out to you? Paid, of course.

Hot diggity dog.

The briefing concludes that standalone generative AI systems, based on unlawful web scraping, depend on mass invasions of privacy by design, and are fundamentally incompatible with [International Human Rights Law]. As such, Amnesty International is calling for a prohibition of such systems, including where such systems are identified as exacerbating existing inequalities or creating new forms of discrimination.

New blog post! I came across a fully-interactive offline archive(!!) of a BBS from 1994 and wanted to share an interactive walkthrough of it. Let's explore 90s Kansai online and see what people were chatting about.

Wikipedia, and the entire Wikimedia movement, has been a democratic, anti-authoritarian experiment since the day of its inception.

It's a project that matters, something I've been proud to have made a career of.

I spent my 20 years at the Wikimedia Foundation trying to further that experiment on a professional basis, and I have never been prouder of my former colleagues at WMF than I have been these past few months as we've been making @wwu a reality.

You should organize your workplace too.

This. Small startups with good focus can suddenly do a LOT. Teams that struggled with quality can focus on that and have more capacity for it. But mostly the industry is bottlenecked on _figuring out what to build_, and how to build it within security and compliance constraints. That is a process involving _people_., at people speeds.

After enough years in software, you learn that LGTM doesn't actually stand for "Looks Good To Me".

that doesn't mean you shouldn't be wary, doesn't mean you should be suddenly cutting them slack on other issues they have, or pretend their work culture and ethics are flawless, even when it comes to the LGBTQIA+ topics.

But it does feel rough to see colleagues who are 100% well intentioned getting shouted at and hated for no other reason than people perceiving it as hostility, when it really is not what it's intended to be.

I really wish people would come together more. We're in this together
