First film Train dreams. Already saw this. Second time through still enjoyable and the ending still gets me
Decided to go go Day 1 of the AMC Best Picture Showcase.
This is also a story about caste! Hindutva apologists are far more likely to buy into this kind of MAGA-adjacent eugenicist horseshit if they are also caste supremacists! (Special fuck you to Gavin Newsom for vetoing the bill that would have banned caste discrimination in California.)
I just started rewatching this

Book cover of "Designing Data-Intensive Applications, 2nd edition". It has a similar wild boar on the cover as the first edition, but it uses O'Reilly's new cover design, and the boar is now slightly colourised.
The second edition of Designing Data-Intensive Applications, by myself and @chris.blue, is finished and sent off to the printers! Ebooks should be available in the next week, and print books in 3–4 weeks. Sigh of relief. 😅
(BTW, this is a good opportunity to support your favourite local bookshop!)
Async-Await will soon be managed at runtime (with a bunch of performance improvements)

Saw it yesterday and was a packed house as well. Damn good and glad I got to see it in 70mm
Intermission. Got some popcorn and dogfish head.
Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair at Music Box is packed. Not going to attempt concessions line for popcorn
Agreed. TCM classics tour was worth it
Salt Shed stage. Atmosphere performing tonight
Atmosphere at the Salt Shed tonight. Not loving having to venture out in the cold weather but excited for the show
Anything interesting happening on the lot? I unfortunately went there during the strike and lot was dead
Damn proud of Minnesota.
That, friends, is an execution.
Vance retweets Stephen miller’s claim that Alex Pretti was an assassin.
Nevermind. Vance now owns this lie as well.
A man carrying an assault weapon at the Michigan capitol in 2020 to protest COVID restrictions. Behind him are two people wrapped in Trump flags.

Le jus, Gary’s berrys and ein stein fit the spot
Having a couple last pints at Alarmist Brewing before they close up. It’s nice to see it packed here. The Illini game is on so that’s a plus
We have to get on top of everything before we can write up all the things we have built for exe.dev, but this one comes up the most so I blogged about it: SSH has no Host header. So how do we proxy SSH?

I can’t wait to see this at The Music Box Theater next month.
Train Dreams is a beautiful understated tragic film. Last 15 minute hit me hard.

Uncut Beef Wellington with golden crust
First look at the inside of the beef Wellington. Nice pink inside
First attempt at beef Wellington. Really thought I got all the moisture out of the mushrooms but ended up with a soggy bottom. I need to practice my crepes. Also mangled it when trying to do the second and third cut. My knifes apparently dull as fuck. happy with the temp and pleased with the taste.
Late to the party but I finally finished watching Breaking Bad. I certainly believe it’s one of the all time great shows. I guess I’ll have to get to The Sopranos, The Wire, and maybe Game of Thrones in 2026
