Fun reading. I'm digging into montonicity/functional models of decentralized agreement / coord for dbs myself

Interesting approach of using a GitHub repo as a blog.

  Not sure why he doesn't just use github-pages as thats how most people would use "a Github as a blog".

    Because it is just one more inhibition to write stuff when you are are worried what your blog looks like and if it will generate correctly. My blog looking like crap is sadly one of the excuses I make not to blog. Every time I go to look at updating the look I have to reexamine the latest jekyll. I'm sort of inspired now to just make a bunch of dated markdowns files like this guy did.

      Dates are awful. The Jekyll requirement of having filenames starting with dates is the main reason I don't blog. It would be so much better if I could not put dates on files and just name them. If I wanted, I could put the date inside the file, either in free-text or in that crazy YAML metadata (which should be optional).

    If you look at the history of the README.md, he used to have a bit in there: "Note: Things may be a bit of a mess here while I de-jekyll all the previous posts. This may all go away if I find that jekyll actually did something valuable for me, but at this point I wouldn't worry about that."

    Oh my that is some hilarious content. It reminds me of me circa 2005-08. I had so many jugs of protein laying around the office that they call me Mr. Wizard. Of course I should have showed my dominance and ridiculed them and demanded they call me Mr. Warlock goddamn it :)

Merging execution and data - just because it can be done, doesn't mean it should be done.
