So cool! I just saw this post, but now I'll have to rewatch the choir in last night's session and look for you.

I've not attended a live session in over 30 years due to living across the country and being always busy. But we watch every session online at home.

How we made global routing faster with Bloom filters - Vercel We replaced slow JSON path lookups with Bloom filters in our global routing service, cutting memory usage by 15% and reducing 99th percentile lookup times from hundreds of milliseconds to under 1 ms. Here’s how we did it.

We’ve made all CDN serving on Vercel 10% faster (P75), while reducing memory by 15%.

Learn the behind the scenes of applying Bloom filters to this problem, while serving 1T monthly requests.

Does the JS ecosystem want this?

There is no lack of talent and yet things seem to get more complex and slower over time.

It's such a common sense proposal that should also be easy to implement.

Yep, my pixel 8 pro takes some great photos with good macro, manual focus, good low light mode, but good luck taking a photo of the moon, it will look terrible

Exactly, It's a very good term to some people.

And feeding them and putting them all to bed.

Kids are awesome (I have 8), but you're now wrong about the strangest things being harder than expected.

I seriously considered getting some while I was in Europe, but then I realized I wasn't checking a bag and liquids could be a problem.

You're not wrong there actually

Where is the mad scientist job opening? You still need one of those right?

I've found it absolutely magical for quick demo prototypes of UIs that you promptly throw away 90% of when you're done.

But otherwise, yeah, you spend more time fixing issues that you would have taken just writing it in the first place.

I like 80-proto

Tiny jumping spider macro shot on a finger looking off into the distance.

I know right?

This one was straight up posing for the camera while it sat on my finger.

I have done this one a few times, the pay is terrible.

Independent of the corn issues, cold food is terrible for an ileus and they constantly pushed meds that I didn't need, didn't want, and that are also known to make it worse.

It's like they were trying to make me more sick.

I was recently in the hospital for some ileus issues and had stated no corn.

So they served me blended vegetable soup (I could see the tiny pieces of corn).

I called and repeated no corn. The next day I had grits for breakfast.

They also served frozen corn syrup treats constantly.

I want to help with the other side so that people on crappy Internet or using low powered devices also have a good experience.

I refuse to normalize it, every time I see it I cringe and often mention it to someone nearby.

And considering one of my primary job responsibilities is digging into why page loads are slow in production, I see it a lot.

At least I was able to optimize the server side so rich clients don't suffer.

So true

That seems excessive for that far north right?

Here is northwest Arkansas today

Photo of a mountain highway with metal guardrail, trees, and a sharp dropoff off the side of the mountain.

Not exactly walkable like most of our country.

Not an engine, a motor. But yes, it is a very dangerous mountain highway with no shoulder. Walking with toddlers on it would be suicide.

Yeah, I've been getting those for a while. So weird

But I'm stuck with the truck for now and it's doing terrible things to my budget and so I drive it as little as possible to reduce the costs.

Likewise we're stuck with Bitcoin as long as greed exists and people can still make money at the expense of others using it.

I just thought that maybe it was a good analogy to help the coinbros understand how ridiculous Bitcoin is as a visa replacement just like my truck is ridiculous as a daily driver when I also own a small economy EV.

By the way, this is my plan. I've not moved the camper in over a year. I do use the truck for other stuff like refilling a dozen propane canisters at once every couple of months and moving my goose neck cargo trailer, but even that isn't worth the insane monthly payments.

And so given the current rate of transactions (based on actual market utility) and the ever growing mining cost (by design), the per transaction costs is insanely high which is the real world utility cost.

Owning my truck is expensive and I rarely use it because my other vehicle is better.

Of course anyone can say that the per transaction costs of Bitcoin would go way down if people just used it more, but we need to consider why people don't use it more.

It's because the experience sucks for most people! It's a terrible replacement for something like the visa network.
