What I’m on
at the moment.

A plugin that turns Obsidian into the CMS for a site I’m building someone, so the writing and the publishing happen where they already keep their notes.

Distributed systems. I’m going through Designing Data-Intensive Applications alongside Martin Kleppmann’s Cambridge lecture series. Currently on replication.

Whether an eventually perfect failure detector tells you much, once its guarantee turns out to be conditional on the system model. I can’t decide, and it isn’t written up anywhere.

Working through Nietzsche in roughly the right order, which I only worked out after stalling in the preface of Twilight of the Idols.

Interesting problems, and people working on them. If that’s you, I’d rather have a specific question in my inbox than a networking coffee.
