The Hyperfixed Podcast had a lovely episode recently about tape measures. It started from “why does my tape measure seem to always be off a little bit” and went all the way to the inherent limitations of physical measurement at small scales. In there is an awesome quote by Adam Savage, “I had always had faith in the sanctity and solidity of numbers… and when I got into this… I realized there’s no such thing as a measurement.

I wrote most of this post during the week between Christmas Eve and New Year’s Day when enough people in New York have left the city that it makes it quite difficult not to turn introspective. It’s been a pretty big year for me and for this blog, so I thought it would be fun to take a look back on the year as we all move into the second half of the decade. Blog Posts I wrote four long-form blog posts this year: a fun post on Dune for ....

how do you block a range of ip addresses with nftables? how do you block ip addresses from a dynamic list? with iptables i could do a little loop to read each line and create an iptables rule: `while read line; do iptables -A INPUT -s $line -j DROP; done < file.txt` is there a better way to do this?

Instead of looking for games to play, this time I decided to set my lines. I won't waste time looking for games to play. The games listed below are already deep and time consuming ones anyway so I will focus on those to relax this year. Dwarf Fortress Last year I was just trying to start/learn it but then leaving it again due to learning curve but this time I'm starting this shit for real. Caves of Qud I got this game recommende....

Back in 2018 I wrote about how to apply Brendan Gregg’s FlameGraphs for visualizing SQL plan execution time 1 , using the plan node-level context and timing data that some database engines provide. This approach is not designed to replace the traditional plan display methods that are packed with lots of additional metrics and details. Nevertheless, in case of large execution plans, SQL plan flamegraphs give you a quick overview of bo..

I’ve never really got into the TV series Gavin and Stacey but I decided to watch the finale and the documentary about the making of it. The finale was brilliantly written and the documentary gave some insight into how they did this.

In the 1980’s, Robert L. Crandall, head of American Airlines, removed one single olive from the salad they served passengers. He thought they wouldn’t notice - and he was right. This removal of the olive saved the company $40,000 a year. 1 and began the downfall of Service Capitalism. This was the subtle but profound shift in how business viewed their relationships with customers: from competition through service excellence to a methodic..

In December 2024, I did something that I had never done before: I participated in a short (~6 hours) Dungeons and Dragons campaign. It was the nerdiest thing ever , and I loved it! The setting After another day of keeping a critical production service up, the whole team met up at Kvest to play Dungeons and Dragons, as a team event. The game room was small but cozy, with ambient lighting, music and countless figurines on shelves set....

I’ve been extremely fortunate over the course of my career, and I’ve been able to learn from some truly incredible people working in software. It truly does “take a village,” and some of the best general career advice I can give to anyone starting out is to find a really good mentor. And so it was that years ago I was peer programming a C# application with a more senior engineer. We needed to iterate through a list and transform its elemen..

Advent of code has come and passed, what should I do now with so much free time? Fear not! The JIT calculator challenge is here. 1. The challenge Back when Rust was in its infancy, the official website featured an example program to showcase the language’s syntax. It was a toy calculator, implemented as an interpreter in 20 lines of code. Why talk about website archaeology, though? We are not here for nostalgia’s sake, are we?

I ended up reading surprisingly few books this past year, as I focused on more tangible sabbatical projects. A few of these books I read async with a group of people; I’m excited to share how to do this well in the future. For my favourite book, it’s a toss-up between The Taming of Chance, […]

Hello lain anons, what do you do with your older tech if you just can't stand to leave it in a drawer? Especially old 32 bit laptops and netbooks? Most blogs suggest the same ideas, but I am looking for more original or alternative uses. I could install debian / void and browse the chans, but apart from that I don't see much use from them. TL;DR: any ideas to repurpose obsolete / outdated hardware?

This is my sixth annual books round-up, and unfortunately it's also the third consecutive decline in the number of books read. It's been a busy year - Yee Aun and I got married and hosted a few singles mixers (let me know if you want to join a future one!), I got Lasik, we traveled a bit and spent good time with good people, and professional, I grinded with the Anjuna to launch our new product Anjuna Northstar . All worthwhile, and yet I....

A 16-year-old StackOverflow question on string splitting gets a modern answer: SIMD-accelerated tokenization that's 10x faster than STL and cleaner than ranges.

I read this blog post from Jordan on how he created a simple feature request form on his iOS app using Supabase’s Swift library. I wanted to try this out on Python to see how easy would be to implement this when I need a quick way to add a form functionality in a backend service. Here is what I did: Created a free Supabase account . Created a new project. Created a new table in the project and called it feature_request, and added a n....
