Last Notes

I wish I had a better sense of where gravity comes from. Anyone have good intuition that they could explain?
I obviously get *what* it is: apple falls from the tree, etc. And I think I more or less get *how* it is: Newtonian mechanics, general relativity, curved spacetime, etc.

My sister makes her own greeting cards with a celery heart as a stamp. They turn out pretty great.

Discovered a nasty data bug in prod just now in an untested code path. Only hit a few users, but still, ugh.
Lesson learned: ~90% test coverage is great, but bugs still happen in the other 10%. It may be harder to test, but do it anyway. If you shipped it then you should have put a test on it. 💍

Seems quiet around here, no big news over the last couple weeks. Might as well take advantage of the lull and post a new Bridgy Fed status update while everyone's guaranteed to see it, right?
Video! Chat messages! Scaling for Brazil! And lots more... [snarfed.org/2024-09-12_5...](https://snarfed.org/2024-09-12_53693 )

Congrats to the Bluesky team on the new users, and on holding up under the load. 10-20x usage increase and >1k events/sec on the firehose is crazy!
Bridgy Fed is still bridging fediverse => Bluesky ok, but Bluesky => fediverse is backlogged badly, well over a day behind, and struggling to catch up.

Unexpected lovely experience at #xoxofest: I've worked in climate full time for the last few years, and in health and bioinformatics for many years before that, and I got to share those experiences with very competent, very interested people and encourage them to join in themselves.

I’m headed to XOXO 2024 tomorrow! I’m excited, XOXO is legendary, but I’ve never been before, and this is the first one they’ve put on since 2019. I caught it just in time, too, they say this will be the last one ever.
Drop me a line if you’ll be there too, I’d love to say hi!

#ATProto question: what's the current thinking on shared records, ie that more than one user can modify? Seems like the current PDS data model is strictly user-partitioned, and users can only write to their own repos. How should we do shared ownership, eg subreddits with multiple moderators?

Talent is probably overrated.
Talent is fixed mindset. You're born with it, it's in your genes, it's a gift.
Practice is growth mindset. Anyone can learn, put in the work, practice hard, and get better. It takes drive, and some people start out with advantages, but talent isn't required.

Whenever I need to optimize and I think I know where to start, I'm wrong. Not always, but close enough.
Measure first. Then optimize. Every time.
