So a bit of an update on what I’ve been working on. This will be adapted into release notes in a while, but I haven’t quite wrapped a bow on the change set yet. Still, it has certainly been a few weeks. Didn’t quite land how busy I’ve been until I set down to draft this post. Them’s some changes, and I’m skipping a few to keep this meandering post at a sane length.

Something I’ve wondered about for a little while: why don’t more languages have a call/cc operator? Having first-class continuations in your programming language gives your programmers a powerful construct. So why do only a handful of languages have it? The short answer is: it’s tricky to implement efficiently. One way to get call/cc is to convert your code into continuation-passing style. Then, call/cc simply takes the continuation i..

Update I have not been writing as much as I would like. Or more accurately, I have not been finishing writing as much as I would like - instead, I have numerous half finished posts that I could not muster the conviction to complete. I have been struggling because, in addition to the ordinary challenges and demands of life, my wife has been suffering from debilitating cluster headaches for the past few months, which has been very taxi....

Last week I had a problem I hadn't encountered before. I was writing a service based around daily scheduling, and while cron would have been a really useful tool, I couldn't deploy my program to a server that supported it. Under the circumstances it simply wasn't an option. I did however have Go, so I gradually started piecing together a solution. The requirements seemed simple enough: after the program is started, wait until 10am UTC to ....

For over half a decade, I have been deploying IPFS on my Kubernetes cluster, gaining valuable insights into its operation within such an environment. Even though it’s just a modest singleton deployment, the experience has led to a deeper understanding of various nuances and potential pitfalls. This article aims to share the learned lessons and offer configuration guidelines to optimize IPFS performance in a Kubernetes setup.

During my last vacation in France , we came across one of the dozens of medieval castles open to visitors: the Château de Puymartin . The structure itself was amazing to visit, but with great surprise I found a couple of floors of the ancient tower full of mythological paintings and related panels. Needless to say, we spent at least thirty minutes over there. Then, walking up to the next level, my mind was blown: there were two whole room....
