I make a conscious effort to get out of my bubble as much as possible, so when I saw a Jalopnik article proclaiming Vanlife Can Be Cheaper, Weirder, And More Accessible Than Instagram Would Have You Believe , I bit. I’ll give Anna Merlan the benefit of the doubt. Maybe she started with the idea that vanlife could be cheaper, weirder, and more accessible than Instagram might lead you to believe, then set out to prove that by living in a....

I haven’t read Jack Donovan’s work or listened to his podcasts in a while, so I forgot how good some of his stuff is until I re-discovered Violence is Golden this morning. From his article: “A rule not ultimately backed by the threat of violence is merely a suggestion. States rely on laws enforced by men ready to do violence against lawbreakers. Every tax, every code and every licensing requirement demands an escalating prog..

Microsoft Azure has lots of free project management services. This is very useful for y..

As stated in my announcement post - after 7~ years, I resigned from Infoxchange several months ago. I planned on taking a holiday, relaxing, decompressing, dipping my toes in some off-the-shelf tech I haven’t spent a lot of time with and performing some personal growth through reading a number of books that have been sitting on my ’to read’ shelf. This is exactly what I’ve done. I’m now open to new opportunities I’d rather find a w..

Another great piece from a few years ago, this time by Brendan Leonard at Outside Online in 2017: “You want a shortcut, here’s one: Stop believing that anyone who’s successful at anything has some secret other than focus, drive, and a shitload of hard work. There’s your shortcut.” I love this. Every few weeks, someone stops me in the gym to ask for a shortcut. “Man, that’s an insane deadlift. How did you get it that high?” Others s....

We moved from HLLs stored in HBase to HLLs stored in Postgres with great results. 5-10 minute read What is HyperLogLog (HLL)? HyperLogLog (HLL) is a useful and interesting probabilistic data structure used to count unique values in a given data set with good accuracy and speed. Normally, to count unique values accurately requires memory proportional to the number of unique values. This becomes a problem when working with large data set....

This is #5 in a very long series of posts on Stack Overflow’s architecture. Previous post (#4): Stack Overflow: How We Do Monitoring - 2018 Edition So…caching. What is it? It’s a way to get a quick payoff by not re-calculating or fetching things over and over, resulting in performance and cost wins. That’s even where the name comes from, it’s a short form of the “ca-ching!” cash register sound from the dark ages of 2014 when physi....

Wes Siler has some advice for those looking to buy an adventure vehicle. I agree with almost everything he says, even if most of it just applies to those who already have one: get good tires, have a tire repair kit and recovery gear, get advanced driver training, pack less, don’t try to force an inadequate car into the role of a much more capable one, and understand the difference between AWD and 4WD — but the rest, not so much. He also sug..

A quick intro In this article, we will delve into the specifics of turning a running WordPress Multisite in production into a well organised, development-ready, version control, dev/staging environnment, as well as the deployment process (not automatic for now). Context Recently, I had to create a local/staging/production environnement for a rather large WordPress Multisite instance. The process was not that obvious at first so I created do..

Leo Babuta of Zen Habits wrote about a great way to combat overthinking the other day: just make the best decision you can now, given limited information and time to make it. Many will scoff at this idea, for making important choices in particular, but I disagree: I like his approach a lot, because it has worked well for me for almost everything. Permalink.

I threw together a web scraper the other day for a project at work. Since web scraping is easy, I had extra time, and I needed to poll a few hundred pages from a single domain often, I rotate through a pool of user agent strings and randomize my request pattern to make it less likely that the server will block me. Hacker News once blocked me after I did not take precautions like these , so I made sure to avoid that this time around. Pier..

During our later stay in Bilbao, at the tail end of our roadtrip around Spain, we stayed at Victor’s , a really nice local from Bilbao. He was happy to give us guidance around the city and was quick to say that there are only two things you do in Bilbao; enjoy art and food. These are some of the places he recommended and why: Txukrut: A vegan pintxos place

A friend of mine found himself working for a school in the mid 1990s, deploying a new lab of Apple Mac computers designed to teach graphic design. Before the deployment, he went to the technology decision-makers and told them that they could build a much faster lab for half the cost, since their Adobe software can also run on PC. He also noted that Macs play well with other proprietary Apple stuff, whereas PCs played well with most technolo..
