I've been following xkcd for years (web comics and fun stuff). Randall Munroe is amazing and creates so much cool stuff.

His latest xkcd (Machine) let's user's interact, it's so cool.

I, of course, left my mark <3

I think AI-technology should be open-sourced and shared.

The alternative seems to be human greed-related outcomes, which is something I think we should avoid as a species.

Ran into multiple issues while migrating a mysql DB to postgres. Errors like

Heap exhausted during garbage collection: 352 bytes available, 416 requested.

I tried allocating more memory everywhere, but in in the end the prefetch rows finally worked for me

Example migrating mysql to postgres with prefetch:

pgloader --with "prefetch rows = 10000" mysql://user:password@127.0.0.1/dbname postgresql://user:password@127.0.0.1/dbname

The Edinburgh Decentralization Index (EDI) is an index developed by the University of Edinburgh to measure the level of decentralization of cryptocurrencies. A very interesting project I've been following for a while. Great to finally see some metrics in the dashboard.
