• Wednesday

    • Lots of work in AWS: cognito, kms, cloudhsm, cdk2, api gateway, lambda, ses, sns, pinpoint.
      • Auth n/z, passwordless, oauth2, jwt, sms.
    • Added AWS Toolkit extension to vscode. Allows you to do a lot of dev actions for aws. The specific one I wanted today: debugging and setting breakpoints in lambdas, testing locally. This is part of a larger framework called SAM, serverless application model.
    • To compare commits in github:
      • github.com/<username>/<repo_name>/compare/<olderSha>…<newerSha>
    • 256 bits (like a blockchain address) are impossible to brute force. 2^256 is just insane. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S9JGmA5_unY
    • VC labs are like incubators for VCs. They help you network, accelerate, etc. Get advice from others who have successful VC firms. Learn how to start your first fund.
    • Collected brave rewards (only mac this month).
    • Updated bmahlstedt.com to wp6.
    • A little bit of pulsing on the front brake of the ducati when I took it out tonight for the first time in ~5 months. This is due to rust on the rotor (sitting in damp/winter conditions with the cover on). It will wear off and bed down over time. You may also directly clean them. It can also happen if your rotors are warped. “Spongy” is a different feeling that pulsing; soft brakes are usually because there is air in the line and they need to be bled.
      • Everything else felt surprisingly ok; engine, coolant, brake fluids, tire pressure, gas, lights, oil.. Fairings were a little dirty.
    • –no-verify for git commit and git push to bypass husky hooks.
    • Tons of venture research. Paraffin, Vannevar, Hadrian, AstroForge, Epsilon3, FlexPort, Levels, Plantd, Newlab, Reserve, Zoox.
    • Not a ton of novelty in the bill that was released yesterday; more crypto regulation, third party evaluators will check liabilities, some stablecoin probes, stuff like that.
    • Ethereum merge, PoW -> PoS. Difficulty bomb increasing as we loom closer to the merge. The diff goes up, which increases the work required to product block, which disincentivizes miners on the existing chain.
    • Craco = create-react-app configuration.
    • Bloomberg needs to hop off Elon. Multiple posts every single day. You’re (both) not a tabloid.
