Daniil Charms was considered a children’s author and could not stand children all his life. While his whimsical fairy tales populated illustrated books and magazines, giving him something to live on in the silence of his room, he also feverishly wrote tales for adults, equally imaginative but inhabited by an excruciating melancholy, as in fairy tales went wrong. At the dawn of the USSR, this desperate fantasy of his was tolerable only if ..

The trick of puzzle design is not so much coming up with decent clues as it is coming up with a cohesive theme. This one’s pretty good (in my less than honest opinion) but it took me quite a bit of thought to get it working. I keep trying to design full 15x15 American style puzzles but aren’t quite able yet. Hopefully the clues aren’t as necessarily obtuse as my previous ones. Have fun!

In modern distributed systems, generating unique IDs is crucial for data consistency and scalability. Snowflake ID is a type of unique identifier that is widely used in distributed systems for generating IDs with high precision, scalability, and availability. In this blog post, we will discuss what Snowflake ID is and how it works, and explore its use cases and benefits.

We chose Garfield Ledges for a short afternoon hike on a beautifully sunny Saturday. The drive near the Mailbox Peak parking lot had been rather slow, having to squeeze past an almost unbroken chain of parked cars about half a mile long, starting at the Valley Camp junction (where the one-way road ends). However, once past that traffic jam the road to Garfield Ledges was clear and quiet. The road is paved almost the entire way. It turns t..

In Ruby you can kinda pretend that you have type enforcement at runtime, because Ruby is very flexible. This could be a useful-enough thing to do to organize and formalize the “ guarding” of your data. As a disclaimer, I’m not actually a huge fan of this practice, because I think that if you’re going to enforce types at runtime, you may as well achieve the same result via learning how to write good constructors and immutable objects. I b....

In an earlier post (2021) , I argued that much of the “powered by AI / ML” labelling and marketing out there was bogus and disingenuous. That AI / ML technologies were getting commoditised to the point of being as simple as pip install, where most organisations would not need to do any serious R&D to be able to use these technologies, enough to warrant the claim “Powered by AI / ML”. Excerpt from the post:

I recently made an update to how I build my blog. I like writing my posts with Org-mode because it provides a richer markup language than Markdown. Plus, more Emacs = more good. Hugo has support for Org files, but there was a problem with the RSS feed generation: all of my posts written in Org got truncated at some point. I don’t know if the fault lies with Hugo itself or with some problem in the theme I use—whatever it was, I don’t have ....

Tucker Carlson Tonight was the most popular primetime news show in the US from April 2020 until the shows sudden cancelation on April 24, 2023. Carlson was suddenly fired due in large part to text messages that were likely to come out if the Dominion Voting Systems defamation lawsuit were to go to trial, causing the Fox board to pay nearly $800M to settle the case. They were leaked anyway. His messages were unacceptable, and I would h....

I once heard that the way you can tell if something is actually funny is that it causes you to laugh out loud even when you are by yourself. It is much easier to laugh at something when surrounded by others.

Here is a performance footgun I encountered at work in a more complicated form. Python allows iterating over a file object. However, this iteration is defined as yielding lines, regardless of if the file is a text or binary file. In fact IOBase specifically says: IOBase (and its subclasses) supports the iterator protocol, meaning that an IOBase object can be iterated over yielding the lines in a stream. Lines are defined slightly differentl..
