The Aurora DSQL paper finally dropped. Reading it yesterday was an interesting experience, because I spent two years (2022-23) working with the AWS team that designed and built Aurora DSQL.

The first recording today is Pokemon: Battle Frontier – Gathering the Gang of Four. Ash has brought some of his old Pokemon back – Squirtle and Bulbasaur. It’s all about the hugs. Even Charizard is back, even if he does tend to toast everybody when he gets excited. Ash has gathered his old team to take them up the...

Regardles, this year has some of my favourite stars and there are also several days devoted to stars who are entirely new to Summer...

If you like ideas that take their time, you’re in the right place.While you’re here, a few things I’ve built: Kerouac, a writing app | Post Through It, a solo microblogging...
This might sound funny, but the game that kept springing to mind while playing Gruntz, the tiny-as-it-gets wargame by Carter Scott, was none other than Kurt Vonnegut’s GHQ. Like that ancient (but now resuscitated) title, Gruntz is about a pair of World War-era armies bashing it out on the field. They’re both highly...
