Regular readers of my blog1 know I have been planning to write on my recent contract contributing to Quinn, the popular Rust implementation of the QUIC protocol. I originally intended to write a deep-dive into the QUIC features I implemented, but the blog post took a life of its own and ended up as a short essay on being paid to learn. Enjoy! Taking on the project When Stormshield2 reached out to me with a proposal to work on Quinn, I felt ..

Fenyman had a concept of 12 questions which he contemplated for much of his professional career, constantly adding new facts and insights to each category over time. This allowed him to progress along many axes at once over long time periods until the accumulation of understanding in any given question reached the point where others considered it a breakthrough. Here are the 6 questions I'm thinking about these days.

Amazon, AWS, Twitch.tv, Whole Foods, Woot, and Audible are among the companies that use document driven meetings to plan new products, features, and processes. This is an example PR/FAQ to help you understand the document format. The format is not as important as the process for how it is used. For an example document driven meeting see this video .

I wrote this tweet about my Amazon internship in 2007 as I rolled out of bed yesterday morning and it went viral. (Yes, you are correct: there is only one Harry Potter 7 book. And no, I did not recommend the second one into print, but I do love that joke.) How fun! That internship was my first work experience overall in software and I got incredibly lucky being placed on the Similarities team.

The operational and legal side of open source software (OSS) projects are always boring to us programmers and end users in general. Which is why there is a lot misunderstanding on the expectations from the non-profit foundations which runs these OSS projects. Just like OSS licenses, the foundations which runs these projects are often misunderstood. Today I will be talking about two most common non-profit types used to run OSS projects. The ....

We get about four thousand fake membership applications a month, and it’s often very hard to tell if a profile is a fake profile, including apparently reasonable answers to screening questions during the join process.

I’ve previously been an advocate of making websites with long-form body text increase the default size just a bit, since their text should be larger than the one-size-fits-all browser default; interfaces and navigation can be smaller. I didn’t think we should expect users to change their default zoom levels, as that’s a potential JavaScript-free fingerprinting vector. I’m thinking about revising this stance after using increased display z....

If you want to use an existing instance of a browser to debug in VSCode - instead of always launching a new one - you have to: Change the shortcut that you use to start the browser, to add --remote-debugging-port=9222 on the end of the command line, so that it always runs in “debug ready” mode.Use a wildcard for the url in your launch.js config file. To debug web apps in VSCode with Brave - add this to your launch.js: { "versi..

The butterfly effect famously states that the flapping of the wings of a butterfly somewhere in the world can impact the weather on the other side of the world - a small change can have a huge impact over time.

Donald Knuth challenged ChatGPT-4 with 20 questions and then submitted the results and his comments to Stephen Wolfram. The whole thing is fascinating in many ways and worth reading. Some remarkable quotes: Of course these are extremely impressive responses, sometimes astonishingly so; thus I totally understand why you and others have been paying attention to it. The most immediate impression is the quality of the wordsmithing...

Basic Distribution Constraints In SystemVerilog, almost all constraints are some form of boolean expression. The constraint solver’s job is to satisfy all these boolean expression when choosing random values. The two exceptions to this are solve before constraints, which control the order of value resolution, and dist constraints, witch control the distribution of values chosen. This latter type of constraint is what we are looking at in t..

I’ve been writing some massively concurrent code for mgmt lately. The concurrency makes it incredibly bug prone. In this case it’s usually races or deadlocks. I’ve got a new trick to make the process more pleasant. The Problem : I’m sure many of you have written some code like this before: // just a small excerpt for { select { case <- someEvent: // some awesome thing happen..
