So, I just realized that infinite scrolling is a two birds, one stone kinda thing. Basically; your servers do almost nothing, while the clients toil your complexity (and their time) on the server’s behalf.

It’s a bad all–you–can–eat buffet in computer algorithmic form. The rewards? Architectural flexibility + implicit user retention. I recently saw someone scrolling a YouTube channel all the way to the end just to find the first video. That’s the server’s job… and a lot of wasted user time.

Starlink has officially arrived in The Bahamas as Starlink Services Bahamas Limited. Finally there’s economic pressure for better Internet infrastructure! I do wonder though, how will they (the musketeers) approach the eventual over–subscription problem–on second thought–that’s wholly irrelevant because well… the bar is obscenely low.

Every satellite the techno–king (future emperor–suzerain?) launches is a fast moving death knell for our mostly unaware local ISPs. Isn’t the world rather boring in its predictability — I think so?

IPv6 > RSS. You know I’ve been thinking, there are some protocols/standards that are technically so simple and elegant that the simplicity itself becomes its achilles’ heel economically. Complexity/inefficiency/scarcity is economics after all or so the story goes.

The plant disease identification/management handbook by Balaji Aglave is excellent for popular plants. A lot of modern handbooks are fluffy with information (maybe that’s popular) but this one gets straight to the point — I was very lucky to come across this book a while back.
