Andor

05:40PM

I am dying to see the next three episodes drop for Andor! Episode 7 to 9, another movie drop, lets go.

Pipe JSON & Flex

06:06PM

We handle both the flexbuffers and the json together, I am thinking that it would be wise to first build them both out via the jedi crate. Quickly refactor the pipe_redis to use Logic_$Command_$Payload as a common structure and then include functions for both. I was thinking of unifying the functions but that might be an issue because of the zero-copy and the different data structures, that it might be wise to just split them. We can re-use the binary functions in the future but for now this should be fast enough for what we want to do.
07:10PM

After creating the JSON and Flexbuffers for the 5 basic commands, we now have to link them together with the envelope. This should be easy because we would only have to update the process function under the Envelope trait for Jedi specific envelope. Under the process function, a quick and modular pipe would resolve that issue.

Pipe WatchMaster

02:25AM

I was up all night trying to figure out the best way to handle the rewrite of the WatchMaster and maybe even the TempleState. The TempleState already keeps track of the Redis Pool and the active connections via the WatchMaster. Furthermore, the TempleState is our AppState for Axum too but we already wrapped it inside of an Arc entity.
07:26PM

Updating the Watch and Unwatch commands to use the bitflags, for that I need the right flag combinations! I am thinking that we will use these ints to represent the combined state:

define_multi_flag_checks!(
    (xadd, [Redis, Stream, Add]),
    (xread, [Redis, Stream, Read]),
    (watch, [Redis, Heartbeat, Read, Stream]),
    (unwatch,  [Redis, Heartbeat, Del, Stream])
);

This should make it easier to handle the watch and unwatch. I might have to be careful on how I go about to handle this because I ran into an annoying issue in the past where it would double watch and there is a bit of leak here. The management of the keys that we are watching has to be handled from both the redis side and also the rust side.

India Strikes

05:48PM

Keeping a close watch on the missile strikes, hopefully nothing goes too bad between both nations. This feels like another gaza situation, where India might just use the terror attack as an excuse to launch another massive war. The bigger issue is that it will end up creating more terrorists in the long term, its a classic situation of a butterfly effect.

2024

JukeBox

The jukebox client side code has been updated but a couple more patches that I need to build out.

Resend

The Email recovery still needs to be fixed, I am going to add the API directly into the Rust codebase! However there might be a couple aspects of the code’s flow that I need to look over, do we want to have a captcha before the email recovery? I understand that it might be a bit weak on the UIUX but the security issues that can arise by not having some level of protection on the path might be a pain in the future.

Let me add a couple schemas to prepare for the Resend API Integration:

#[derive(Debug, Deserialize)]
pub struct RecoverUserSchema {
  pub email: String,
  pub captcha: String,
}

2023

India

9:00am - Going to miss this amazing breakfast place, for under $3 or 200 Rupees, I get nearly a full course meal. It keeps me fed throughout the day but damn them eggs do produce some deadly methane gas xD
9:30am - Restoring the asset.astro and the media.astro paths to avoid some broken links when navigating through the menu on the main website.
10:30am - Read this great article from SemiAnalysis No Moat that goes over the lack of a moat from Google / OpenAI within the eco-system of Ai/mL, yet this can have some issues further down the line, including investment and capital markets, whom bet on companies being able to secure a moat. I believe that a hybrid source movement will remain the best course of action as of right now.
11:00am - Currently looking up the works of Ursula K. Le Guin and her universe of Hainish Cycle because she coined the term Ansible. The first piece of her work that I am going to read while taking this rickshaw is Winter's King.
3:00pm - Currently on my last interview for a new job that I might start in June! I am excited but I might also decline because the amount of pay is not worth the amount of work that they might demand. We shall see, I usually enjoy working for startups but seeing how they conduct their interviews and testing has been very off-putting. I might also not get the job because I did decline to sign any NDAs until I felt more confident with the company.
9:00pm - Going to start to integrate Rive into the Flutter application! I have had great experience with Lottie but I been finding that they have a bit too limited animations for my taste and I do not feel like integrating React into Flutter at this time. If everything works out as planned, then I will remove Lottie from the kbve.com source and replace it with Rive as well.
