great post!
for spooky season this year I wrote about Italo Calvino's remarkable 1967 lecture "Cybernetics and Ghosts", wherein he speculates about whether a machine could ever write great literature. joelgustafson.com/posts/2025-1...

Found some content for something I’m learning about that was written ~10yr ago on a blog, and it’s weird how it now seems slightly quaint and old-fashioned to read. There’s a sense of luxury to how it assumes you have a long attention span, and it’s sad that people don’t anymore.

finally wrote a short post about how the "spatial feed" works in Aurora!

the spatial feed shows you posts, in real-time, from the neighborhood you're looking at. it's a brand new kind of discovery interface!

✨ new blog post from me and @raymond.bsky.social: "serializable transactions for peer-to-peer databases"

we describe "eventually consistent rollback", a new way of handling conflicts in concurrent database transactions.

ECR gives you atomicity and serializability, but not finality.
