@theholisticnick Good to keep hearing from you Nick! Tips: My Apple Watch tracks my heart rate variability. I can see the impact of breath work as a tangible number: as soon as I sit, it soars. If I try to get it to remain high during a day, I don’t get sick anymore. It shortens the feedback loop

Breathwork is more powerful than most supplements. One 5-minute session stimulates the vagus nerve, lowers stress, dilates blood vessels & improves oxygen utilization. Do it daily and you start rewiring your stress response at the neural level. Lower baseline anxiety, better sleep, improved immunity, sharper cognition. Most people are stuck in fight-or-flight 24/7 wondering why they're anxious, can't think clearly & have random health issues popping up constantly. Breathwork gives you direct access to your autonomic nervous system. A way to shift out of survival mode on command. You can feel it working in real time. And it's free.

When I reported to Elon, we would have X product meetings at 5 or 6pm (because he was with the Tesla team for 10 hours before that), then my 1:1 checkin would be at 10pm, but that would regularly get moved to 11pm or midnight or 1am. Usually around 2am, he’d go take a nap for a couple hours in the office and then repeat the same schedule again the next day with a different set of companies, 7 days a week.

@jack @Sqaure Hey @jack, what’s my interest paying in a currency which will be worth more tomorrow than it is today. If I’m not dumb I will want to hold to it instead of spending it. People have no regrets spending their money if they know it’s inflationary. Bitcoin hoarding is no accident

@jack Deflationary money is like a gift card that gains value every week—you don’t spend it, you stash it. BTC’s design rewards holding. Great for saving, awkward for day-to-day payments.

.@blocks is one of the only companies working on the 3 pillars of bitcoin decentralization: 1) mining (Proto Rig) 2) custody and control (BTC sales, Bitkey) 3) payments (Square, Lightning, Cash App) Not to mention the open-source work with @spiralbtc. Bravo @jack and team!

@awesomekling Really admire what you’re building with Ladybird. One thought I keep coming back to: for a new browser to win real users, the funding model should line up with the product story. Privacy feels like the obvious differentiator that also sustains independence. What’s your take?

@Kimy_tsu @pepercastor @grok quel est le salaire moyen par semaine pour du travail en ferme en Australie avec 40 heures travaillées par semaine ? Est-ce que tu peux convertir ce montant en euros ? Vivant en Australie, je pense qu’on est plus près du 600€ par semaine que 2200. T’en penses quoi ?

@TimSweeneyEpic This is where AI will be winning: skills without having to protect an ego. Everything is taken so personally here. Such a strong technical background but weak personality. Failing to be a good human will hopefully be less tolerated when we won’t be able to compete on skills alone

There is a good programming principle stated here: Don’t write functions for code one can write inline as a simple expression using well-known operations. It’s much easier to read code that uses a small number of common primitives than to remember 1000’s of helper functions.

Today, Linus Torvalds told a Google engineer that his code (updating RISC-V support in the Linux kernel) is “garbage” which “makes the world actively a worse place to live”. Adding that the Google engineer’s code needs to “get bent”. As you might have guessed, Torvalds has rejected that code submission.

@dhh 15 years ago I decided I didn't want kids. People around me said I should. That I'd be an amazing father. But I was too terrified by the weight of what it means to be a father. Your podcast with @lexfridman changed my mind. From the bottom of my heart, thankyou ❤️

@dhh Hey @dhh - I share most of your views on tech and privacy, so I was surprised to see Chrome as the default in Omarchy. Ever since the 2018 change that auto-logs you into the browser with Gmail, Chrome feels like a privacy breach. Are a few nice features really worth that?

@levelsio I used to think that some values like “Respect” could and should be expanded as much as one possibly can. After living in Germany, I realised extreme respect makes people vulnerable to propaganda and more broadly prevent them to think: we follow the rules regardless if it is dumb

What's so interesting about German people is that they're highly susceptible to government propaganda and in turn mass psychosis We've seen a terrible example of that almost 100 years ago And today we see it again Most Germans really seem to believe all this degrowth stuff, it's so wild

@dhh Remember spending hours on Linux as I was studying. Getting dual display to work was a quest lasting days. Was great but then later I tried MacOS.For the 1st time I could work on what I wanted rather than fixing a menu or other things which very much looked like procrastinating

@levelsio The worst part is that VPNs could be actually _less_ secure. You end up installing something in your machine. If the software includes some trusted root certificates, they could end up performing man in the middle attacks. chatgpt.com/share/6827ddd6…

It's crazy the marketing VPN companies have pushed so that now everyone thinks going on a WiFi without a VPN is dangerous Generally it's not dangerous, you're protected by HTTPS on every website, SSH on your terminal But VPN companies want to keep normies scared so they pay VPNs have their role though but a lot of it is just FUD (fear, uncertainty and doubt) to make money

@levelsio Comparing yourself or you vs others on this scale is a good use of it imho. But using that same scale to say “I’m on the left” or “I’m libertarian” is not ideal I think because the “middle” of both axis is itself defined culturally

@o_pichon @_vkaku It physically reorganizes the table and removes dead rows, but at least from the docs, there’s no indication that it removes “dead” columns. Do you have any reference that it does this?

Yesterday, I posted a riddle: What happens when you add and remove a column from a table in Postgres 2000 times? Answer: After 1598 times, you get "ERROR: tables can have at most 1600 columns" But... the table only has 2 columns when I get the error! So... why? Because Postgres doesn't actually delete columns. Not from the catalog and not from data files. Deleted columns are only "soft deleted". But they still exist. If the column ever had data, the data will still exist in the data files. It is never removed. The column is marked as "deleted" in the catalog and the query parser, planner and executor take this into consideration when planning and reading data. Deleted columns are not cleaned up even during full vacuum. If you run into the 1600 column limit due to deleted columns, you have to create a new table, copy the data over and drop the old one. So... now you know how columns are (not) deleted in postgres.
Gwen (Chen) Shapira@gwenshap

Pop quiz! I have a small script that adds and drops a column from a Postgres table 2000 times. What do you think will happen and why? (I'll post the answer in a separate tweet tomorrow)

@gwenshap @_vkaku That’s not true, VACUUM FULL rewrites the entire table into a new physical file which physically removes all dropped columns (unlike regular VACUUM)

@_vkaku Vacuum cleans up deleted (or old copies) or *rows*. These copies exist due to Postgres implementation of transaction isolation and MVCC. Super important, just not helpful with dropped columns…

@BillAckman @realDonaldTrump Outta nowhere, a big kid starts slapping smaller kids who can’t hit back. Then he slaps another big kid—who does hit back. Suddenly he’s the victim, telling everyone how mean the other kid is. Bullies hate it when the script flips.
