TIL who Joe DiMaggio was.
I heard the name countless times, in Mrs Robinson by Simon & Garfunkel.
Today, listening to a podcast interviewing Tom Hanks, he suddenly drops this name, and I'm like... what? This person existed? You've read a book written by this fairy tale name from an S&G song?

Interesting theory by Eric Portis @eeeps:
Why do LLMs receive high investments despite the current high-interest rates that usually restrict hypes? The companies doing the investing are essentially feeding themselves money independent of LLM profitability. Read the article to learn why/how.
Also, if you were wondering what all the shrimp news was about, read on as well 😅

The Great Flattening by Ben Thompson.
Ben makes the case that the Internet and various Apple products, aren't reductive, but rather empowering and positive. Decentralisation is at the core.
I believe this wasn't just Jobs-era marketing but a reality, one I and my family grew up benefiting from. GarageBand!
But, does Apple still believe that today? It seems with every release, my devices can do less with things I own, music, files, etc

That accident of history ended up more meaningful to me: while I am most well-known for Stratechery, I am equally proud of the paid newsletter model — services like Substack were based on Stratechery [...]
"""I had no idea the link was that explicit. Indeed, the linked interview with Substack founder explicitly says they were inspired by Ben Thompson's Stretchery blog.

The year is 1984, A-ha records it's now-famous song and music video. At its 25th anniversary, the band released a 3-part documentary.
Bunty Bailey, the star actrice, reunites with Morten Harket, at the diner where they filmed the original music video. It's called Savoy Diner, and it's in London!
Looks like it finally closed during the pandemic, just months after the documentary...

Fastly uses the H2O reverse proxy for fast and secure TLS termination over QUIC, HTTP/3, HTTP/2, and 1.1.
The project site compares its benchmarks only to Nginx. I'd love to see a more recent comparison that includes ATS (Apache Traffic Server), HAProxy, and Varnish/Hitch as fellow reverse proxies for TLS termination.

Steve Jobs in 2010 internal email:
> digital hub [..] moving from PC to cloud
> * we invented Digital Hub concept [..] for all your contacts, calendars, bookmarks, photos, music, videos
> * PC now just another client alongside iPhone, iPad, iPod
> * Apple is in danger of hanging on to old paradigm too long (innovator's dilemma)
> * Google and Microsoft are further along [..], but haven't quite figured it out.Interesting to see it all spelled out (§14).

Recall 10-second Tom? Background character in "50 First Dates", the 2004 rom-com starring Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore.
He's a punchline to comfort the main character who "merely" has a one-day memory.
But, do you know the real story of Clive Wearing? British music producer who has severe retrograde amnesia for over 20 years. He has a 7-second memory...
Watch the first three minutes to get the gist.

The Rainbow Connection analysed
This is one of my favourite songs. It occupies my brain for hours at a time, on a *good* day.
Tim Carmody @tim:
"""
It’s sung by a puppet, performed by someone who, for all his unbounded talents for voice and performance, can’t really sing. But I think it’s the greatest song ever written for a film.

Offered without context:
"""
select a firm swede, the smaller in size the sweeter.
"""Yep, kids are cute. Same in Scandinavia, I guess. Did you just say "firm"?
"""
medium size is best, depending on how you will use it.
"""Wait what?
"""
avoid larger swedes as they can be bitter.
"""Okay, this I can relate to, see also Greg Davies on Taskmaster. (I'm a tall Dutch person myself, we're not alll bitter!)

All major browsers rely on a dark secret: the quirks where native code or the UA stylesheet is varied based on which site you're on.
They're a hell to debug if you're ever caught in one, but they make for interesting stories!

How does Wikimedia approach security and performance?
We're quite selective in our dependencies and often audit the sources ourselves. Progressive enhancement makes for a blazing fast and accessible site, and, I argue, it's also the cheaper choice in the long run!

I love "Shouting in the Datacenter" ft Brandon Gregg, but mostly for the work environment and attitude that enabled it.
To have or be the colleague with the curiosity, care, attention to detail, enthusiasm. To me that's both more valuable *and* actually more achievable than the very specific 1-in-a-million video.
