After writing this, it turns out I'm all about "deep ideas". Not really an order here, read what piques your interest and lmk what you like

The list

Whole Earth

This guy was everywhere. To me, it's really a story of the beginning of Silicon Valley as we know it. The Dead, Ken Kesey, Alen Ginsberg, early LSD experiments, Doug Englebart and his "Mother of All Demos" modern environmentalism / conservationism, Brian Eno, Steve Jobs. like what?

Very inspiring for me to read lately because he was never a great student or a great engineer, but was always curious and connecting with people.

working title

Codd, Chomsky, McKinney, and Wickham walk into a bar… (maybe Chamberlain and Wittgenstein should also be included?)

background

• the dream of substrait is true separation b/w query engines and transformation APIs
• previously, particular APIs would give better performance due to their inextricable link to the architecture of the underlying compute engine
• if the above benefit is removed, folks could use the API with which they are most familiar
• given this, we could see an industry consolidation around the “best” transformation API.

NARRATOR NATHAN: ... So what was Angela actually doing here?

NATHAN: I'm just so confused. You won't let me have the experience I want. But I can't even tell if you're invested in this yourself.

ACTRESS PLAYING ANGELA: I'm invested as I can be but this all sort of absurd right? Swapping out the kids through the window, aging them three years at a time.

NATHAN: It won't work if you don't try. You have to want it to work. Are you mad that I... have been caught up in my work and haven't been prioritizing our family life --

ACTRESS: Nathan! What family life?
