A decade ago, system design interview questions were broad, like "Design Facebook" or "Design WhatsApp," which were too complex to cover in an hour.

I don’t think most people realize how Firefox and Safari depend on Google for more than “just” revenue from default search engine deals and prototyping new web platform features. Off the top of my head, Safari and Firefox use the following Chromium libraries: libwebrtc, libbrotli, libvpx, libwebp, some color management libraries, libjxl ( Chromium may eventually contribute a Rust JPEG-XL implementation to Firefox ; it’s a hard image forma....

What do you use to store data long term in your programs? I personally just use files and directories, like I'd make a directory called data and in it make directories like usr and in it make a directory for each user which would have files to hold information about that user. Simple to implement and isn't tied to any specific programming language or whatever, everything can read normal text files. Any time I tried to use "real" datab..

Music has always been an essential part of my life, and for years, my Sonos system satisfied that need, until a disastrous app update forced me to look elsewhere. This is the story of my switch to the Bluesound ecosystem and how it transformed my listening experience.

Have any of you ever used a Lisp Machine? I've heard that it was a glorious experience because of how well-integrated it was: the system-wide debugger, the editor with hypertext authoring features, the command line with GUI elements. Was it actually that good? Which features were the best and what do you miss from them on modern computers?

I was avoiding getting out of bed when I came across a Mastodon post by @Foone that got me thinking. She had expressed a very reasonable thought, characteristic of her posts✪✪Ok, for the most part. You should consider buying her a coffee, her feed is great., to include descriptions in the metadata of image so you wouldn’t have to write and rewrite alt texts every time you upload a file.

I recently watched an interesting video titled How AI & LLMs are Shaping Financial Advice by MIT Professor Andrew W. Lo . In it, he discusses how LLMs could be used for tasks like analyzing financial reports and offering sound financial advice. He also touches on the challenges of oversight, trust and fiduciary duty, sharing his thoughts on how these issues might be addressed in the long run. Right after that, YouTube suggested a news ....

Now that I am retired from programming for a living, I make generative art (not AI; see my post What Is Generative Art? ) every day. I belong to a discord community of generative artists, yet I stick out because I am the only person using Swift as my chosen language.

Why does man print “gimme gimme gimme” at 00:30? The maintainer of man is a good friend of mine, and one day six years ago I jokingly said to him that if you invoke man after midnight it should print “gimme gimme gimme”, because of the Abba song called “Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight”. Well, he did actually put it in. A few people were amused to discover it, and we mostly forgot about it until today.

Like most places, Jane Street largely teaches developers through a kind of apprenticeship model. A team matching process tries to thoughtfully match new devs to a team that suits them; and from there carefully chosen projects, one-on-one mentorship, code review, and close collaboration with people “on the row” – teammates sitting near you – does most of the rest.

Every community of creators should have a regular playtest series. This is true whether it’s an ad-hoc community of independent creators, an academic research group, or a large corporation. If there isn’t a playtest series, you should start one. This post is for you. I have been involved in several recurring playtest series. I first […]

Wow! Just realized I've been blogging for over 20 years, starting way back in August 2004 on kinlan.co.uk with Blogger. The journey has taken me through Posterous and landed me here on paul.kinlan.me with Hugo (and maybe Jekyll at some point). Sure, there's some cringe-worthy stuff in the archives, but it's my history. And honestly, I wouldn't be where I am today without this little corner of the internet. Huge thanks to Tim Berners-L..

I have been using #karousel on #KDE for several weeks, and yesterday shifted to #PaperWM on #GNOME. Took some time to configure things like I wanted, but it's much smoother than karousel (and fancier). Overall, I like the scrolling tiling pane paradigm. I realized I've been manually doing something like this using workspaces with 1-2 windows per workspace with two keybindings - one to change …

Hi, guys and girls. I'm telling you a very creepy story that has happened to me on September 29. It's not fantasies. The story is real. And it worries me a lot. Imagine an "anonymous" Web-based chat (no names, just enter the website and start chatting) with a small enough user base, like Omegle. I found a "18 years old girl" there. I use quotes because that info was based on "her" reporting. We chatted for quite some time and enjoyed ....
