    Started playing Dave The Diver with my wife and daughter. It's a fun light game, like Stardew Valley but with a little more plot and structure.

    I mean, I want a room temperature super conductor to be real too :D But yeah, it seems impossible to know whats actually happening, so best to just sit back and wait for reputable news.

    So, given whats going on now with LK-99 news, how is this piece holding up? And, is the latest round of LK-99 news just more hype?

    I've been working on a new boardgame project with my brother at new.boardzilla.io. There is something kind deeply fulfilling about working on a passion project with a family member. I recently watch The Sparks Brothers (great film btw) and thinking about the sorts of deep artistic relationships you can have with someone over time. I guess this is a bit of an outpouring from that.

    Time to watch Druk again :(

    Seriously though, I keep seeing research about how legal weed reduces drinking, I wonder what the effect of that would be on Denmark. If that effect is true, you'd have to think its a net positive for a country that is so heavily into drinking as a form of social lubrication.

    But unless its collective, we're talking about truly small numbers here. In terms of things people can directly do with no other cooperation, sure, this is pretty high up there, but again its a small number. We basically can't make a dent in this problem without collective concerted action.

    So how do we solve the collective action problem? How do we bring about political change?

    I enjoyed the bass battle in the books so much more (and really all the fleshing out you mention). The trip through Honest Ed's is pure nostalgia, I'd be so happy if that made it through.

    I'm making a board game framework with my brother. Hoping to release it soon but so far it's really great, easy to work with and looks solid.

    I have to plug Vib-Ribbon as a really weird game that tried something original. Probably really hard to play anymore, but it scratched a similar itch to Katamari for me

    I wonder if there is an unintended consequence here. By making it harder to access, its retaining only the most extreme and dedicated members, resulting in a more extreme environment and thus, willing to act further outside of social norms? It strikes me that that could be a consequence of these sorts of measures.

    I've started working on a framework for building e2ee apps built on top of sqlite. The idea is to be able to share databases between small groups of friends, and allow schema changes forwards and backwards. It's my first real go project, and can be found here.

    If anyone is into this problem space and if you have anything to share, happy to hear from you!

    Here is the framework itself https://github.com/meow-io/go-slick
    Here is the bit where it makes the view https://github.com/meow-io/go-slick/blob/main/data/eav/eav.go#L347
    And finally, here is the sample app https://github.com/meow-io/roost

    This is my first go project, so, I'm sure I'm doing lots of non-idiomatic things here (which I'm happy for any feedback) :)

    I was actually approaching it more like an EAV that you pivot into normal sql tables. I have a pretty good poc working for that actually. I recently figured out how you can use partial indexes in sqlite to support an EAV table and have a view of that table that looks normal, so no need to copy data to achieve the pivot.

    I build a little proof-of-concept todo list/chat app on top of the framework to demo what can be done. Happy to share the code to both the framework and poc if that sounds interesting to you.
