Reading about lambda calculus led to an interest in how concurrent processes could be explicated formally. I read Concurrent Lambda Calculus with Futures by Niehren, Schwinghammer (cool name), and Smolka. Futures seem considerably nicer than some of the synchronization primitives that I'm familiar with elsewhere. Looking further afield, I found papers and articles on describing various process calculi. Most date from the late 90s to early 2..

The global renewable energy boom has been much talked about. Led by China, the U.S., and India, solar energy installations have exploded over the past decade, with total capacity reaching 2.2 Terawatts (TW) in 2024, 11x the 177 GW capacity in 2014. Amid this boom, one region stands out for the vast underestimation of figures: […] The post The Nigerian Solar Revolution Hiding in Plain Sight appeared first on The Techee .

Photo by Aleksandr Galichkin on Unsplash In this post, inspired by a video by Tigerbeetle engineers Tobias Ziegler (@toziegler) and Alex Kladov (@matklad), I'll walk through four algorithms for merging multiple sorted runs of data; a problem that shows up in modern database internals. You will be able to use an interactive web application to explore and understand each one. The title image isn't just a pretty picture of tenni....

I call my LLM agents “Oompa-Loompas”. It started as a fun way to refer to them, especially when talking to non-technical people. They normally just know “ChatGPT”, but I use Claude Code, Codex, and a bunch of others. At some point it felt weird to keep saying “ChatGPT” when that’s not even what I’m using. So I needed a term that covered all of them. Oompa-Loompas. Now I realize the metaphor goes deeper than I thought.

The most conservative way to build a career as a software developer is 1) to be practical and effective at problem solving but 2) not to treat all existing code as a black box. 1 means that as a conservative developer you should generally use PostgreSQL or MySQL (or whatever existing database), Rails or .NET (or whatever existing framework), and adapt code from Stack Overflow or LLMs. 2 means that you're curious and work over time to better....

AI wheels coming off < Do you remember people loudly proclaiming we’ve built a sentient intelligence ? Because you should. Those people should be remembered as the first line of “intellectuals” that has fallen to the onslaught of AI propaganda. AI is a marketing term and in the last few years it has become a test, just like NFTs, testing your resilience to corporate propaganda. 'Slightly' is doing a lot of heavy lifting he..

I’ve now been through three approaches to load testing for the site, and I think I’ve settled on a solution for the medium term at least. This post explains what I’m trying to achieve, along with the pros and cons of what I’ve tried.

In reply to matlabtest. As far as I can tell, basePath (or similar property) is not supported, only name, kind, type, purpose, repeating, tuple, platform and the quite-confusing mutuallyExclusiveGroup. Perhaps there are some other undocumented properties, but I am not aware of any. The syntax is now documented in Matlab: https://www.ma..

The scale of the cheating crisis in higher education is staggering. Depending on the survey, between 60% and 92% of college students now regularly use AI for their coursework. Professors are ill-equipped, and administrators are broadly turning a blind eye to the entire situation. Treating this as wholly the fault of AI is, however, a grave mistake. The truth is that education has been broken for a long time, and AI was the accelerant ..

On January 15th 2026, Robert Jenrick broke my election site. Okay, that’s slightly hyperbolic.
