Tech

This week feels like a super major one. My decision to leave tech forever got vetoed, and for some reason I feel super relieved. I can, for the near future, throw out my worries about AI, and focus back on my work plus study of computer science. I am fully motivated to start a project, it has been a while since I last built one end-to-end. Last completed one was JIT interpreter for brainfuck language. Maybe working on a join operator, just join operator with arrow batches as vector format and benchmarking it against datafusion’s implementation would be an interesting thing to do. I can start with a basic nested loop join implementation, move to hash join, adding partitioning and spilling and vectorization as we move forward. AHHH this excites me so much!

I also finally got around to integrating wander console in my website. It is available as a top level link in my header. I visit it from time to time to find interesting pages from people. If you are reading this note, give wander console a try, it really is something which can be cherised by IndieWeb peeps!

Also, if you are actually integrating it, do take care of wander.js file’s Content-type, I had messed it up but Susam helpfully pointed it out which I promptly fixed with some help from Yash.

Non tech

This week me and Gunwant, went to Pizza 4Ps. This time we ordered Garlic bread as starters and for the main pizza, half was the tried and tested Burrata Salad Pizza and other half was feeling lucky Honey Chilli pizza. Well I can say for sure I didn’t feel lucky after having the second half :(

After that me, Gunwant, Harsh and Yash went to watch Backrooms. Having watched the original backrooms series on youtube and falling in love with it at the very second, I was pretty stoked when it got picked up by a24 , a studio I have grown to absolutely love. They also recruited Kane to make the movie, he finally could use real people and real set instead of blender-ing it all out. Suffice to say, it is a must watch if you are fan of horror genre or backrooms in general.

Sports

My climbing friends are discussing a Hampi trip. AND I LOVE HAMPI! My last experience there in the end of previous year was so good, I could’t think about missing it this time! And hence I ditched my “dont climb, get strong” plans and finally went to the climbing gym this Thursday. It was still going to be a test of how I feel when using my right foot, jumping on different holds or from high above. Luckily all felt good, so this means I am going to continue climbing and training my fingers for the Hampi trip next week! Enjoy video of a climb I completed off-camera, but couldn’t repeat on-camera 😭

Food explore

I tried out Bun Maska at two new places:

For me a good Bun Maska is:

Pure Coffee has the best Bun Maska near Jayanagar metro station at the very least!

As for Poha exploration, this time I tried Maharaja Wada, it was 4/5. Not perfect, but good enough.
