Dream Journal: 08/08/22

I was living on a rooftop, not under the sky but what you call চিলেকোঠা। Seemed like a campus spot. It was not a room either, but a series of rooms. It was arranged in two rows. 3/4 rooms on the 1st row and 2 on the other. My parents were also there. They were lying in a room on the first row. 

I was there in my parents room for some reason. I then got out in space in between the two rows or উঠান। It was nighttime. Just as I was relaxing under the night sky I saw something that was straight out of an action movie. 

A young man about my age just jumped out of the taller building in front of me. He had a rope tied to his foot like a bungee jumping gear. He was not alone! He had a woman, and a baby with him. So the man sort of carried the woman and the baby and bungee jumped out of the window. They hung from the building for about 2 seconds, and then on the ground another older, fat man came out. With the fat man was another woman and another baby! The young man hung from the building then put the woman and baby he was carrying down. And the fat man received them and handed them the woman and baby that was with him. So essentially the young man with the bungee jumping gear and the fat man swapped a woman and a baby. The younger man then pulled himself up to his floor with the new woman and baby. Obviously I was terrified of being seen. I knew this was something illegal. I tried to hide in the darkness and then entered my room that was the leftmost on the 1st row. I peeked through the window and sure enough the young man then scanned the place with an assault rifle but didn't find me. 

Sometimes later, there was a knock on my door. I was a bit scared but then realized someone was calling me for fajr prayer. some knocked on my window. So quite a few others lived on those rooftop rooms. One of the over eager ones opened one of my windows and climbed through my room. I immediately pretended to sleep. I did seem to know them. So I didn't get alarmed or concerned. Soon after there were seven or eight more who came to my room. I didn't react anyway. That suggests I knew them. They were making quite a lot of noise. So I pretended to just wake up and they nodded to mean good morning. 

Right after that there was a sudden commotion. All of us ran and looked through beyond the roof towards the commotion. There was a big green field, sort of like a school or college campus grounds. And the police and some other organized mobs were gunfighting. It was not one of those hide and seek gunfights but face to face. Soon after the organized mobs killed all the police forces, but I couldn't see any dead bodies. The mob then held a meeting. They shouted for joy and screamed something I couldn't make out. Then I heard the crowd(the one I was standing with) say, this mob consisted of all the political affiliates. They were united against some other power. I then thought that the bungee jumping scene I witnessed must be somehow linked to this mob. I obviously didn't know how. The bungee jumping, such a massive national level strike obviously frightened me. I raked my brain so much that I sort of woke myself up.

Spring Data Jpa: What's underneath

Image
Spring Data in Spring Boot ( spring-boot-starter-data-jpa ) simplifies data access by abstracting the persistence layer and automatically implementing common repository patterns using JPA (typically Hibernate). This article is my attempt to go through what runs underneath and what boilerplate indeed spring data abstracts way for us. To make things easier I divided the demonstration in 3 parts 1. Make our own Data Access layer the old fashioned way with spring+hibernate. 2. Duplicate the same Data Access layer using spring boot. 3. How they both relate and how spring boot helps.   1. The Spring+Hibernate way The plane spring/hibernate way starts much like spring-boot way, that is with an entity layer.                                                ...

Postgres 18 Upgrades

The official Postgres documentation is in my opinion the most succinct documentation ever. It’s one of the list of things that got me interested in postgres as my defacto RDB of choice. I am always on the lookout for new additions to postgres. There's details on the enhancements on the upcoming version 18 here . I made this list of improvements on the upcoming Postgres 18 release that seemed interesting (or things amongst my realm of understanding). I thought It would be nice to share without going into too much technical details: 1. Async I/O Current Capability : PostgreSQL traditionally uses background processes like WAL writer, Checkpointer to help batch I/O tasks, but all these are synchronous under the hood. This can lead to higher latency, especially under heavy load. There’s no built-in native async I/O like you might find in some modern databases. Postgres 18 : Azure OSS team have now introduced true async on all read streams. In future this will inevitably lead to writes ...

It's been cloudy all day. Actual rain clouds, not one of those generic fluffy ones that aimlessly float around.I think they are called Cumulus or whatever. Saw a really pretty patch of bright blue on the way back home. So the blue was hidden away over a Cumulus, then two different dark layers of stratus clouds maybe. I've tried to study different types of clouds before, but it's just so difficult to identify.  The blue patch made me think how huge those clouds must be. Like a thousand or millions of kilograms of molecules just speeding through space. Chaotic order at it's finest I guess.
