TiBook - www.rollc.at - 2 years ago - eng
To continue with our tradition of hand-me-down Macs , dkbox gifted me his ancient PowerBook3,5 (aka TiBook), which I’m now considering using as my main machine for the upcoming Old Computer Challenge v4 (update: conclusion ). The machine has pretty decent specs (for 2002): a 32-bit, single-core PowerPC CPU clocked at 867Mhz; 512MB of RAM; 40GB of spinning rust; a USB2.0 expansion card; and even digital video output via DVI! Most of ..

Just a PSA from one rust developer to another: if you use sccache, take a moment to benchmark a clean build1 of your favorite or current project and verify whether or not having RUSTC_WRAPPER=sccache is doing you any favors.

At the heart of RavenDB, there is a data structure that we call the Page Translation Table. It is one of the  most important pieces inside RavenDB. The page translation table is basically a Dictionary, mapping between a page number and the actual page. The critical aspect of this data structure is that it is both concurrent and multi-version. That is, at a single point, there may be multiple versions of the table, representing....

A database does not need a write-ahead log (WAL) to achieve durability. A database can write its long-term data structure durably to disk before returning to a client. Granted, this is a bad idea! And granted, a WAL is critical for durability by design in most databases. But I think it's helpful to understand WALs by understanding what you could do without them. So let's look at what terrible design we can make for a durable databas....

House rules - www.rollc.at - 2 years ago - eng
Making up your own house rules can be a really fun part of playing board games. It lets you wear the shoes of a game designer - not just play the game, but also play with the game. Sometimes changing the rules makes for some really spicy games, as even a trivial tweak can have a ripple effect and unexpected consequences. But we’re here to learn and to have fun - so let’s play, shall we?

I always wanted my hair to be different. A lot of us felt that way. Many still do. I wanted to look like Kelly from the Bad News Bears . Like Ace Frehley, the lead guitarist in Kiss. Long and not quite straight. Or like John Travolta’s dance teacher, Deney Terrio. Like Shaun Cassidy. Musical, dreamy, avian. With hormones came discord. I wanted my hair to be messy. The right kind. Like Andrew McCarthy or Kurt Cobain. I wanted it to lo....

Hey Lainons. Though I've been into tech since ~6, I've noticed that programming specifically seems to evade me at every turn. Learning Bash and Linux was easy, but every time I try to learn programming (C, Rust, anything really) I gradually stop caring, and when I eventually come back to it I always have to start from scratch due to having forgotten everything. How do y'all motivate yourselves to do this? It's not as if I'm not intereste..

I share links to tech articles and projects somewhat regularly in work slack, and a teammate recently asked how I keep up with industry pulse and trends. I'll snapshot my current resources even though it will quickly become outdated, but I also want to talk a little bit about the how things changed drastically in the last two years or so. So the basic narrative is: I got pretty deep into node.js back end development between 2011 and 201....

I’m an aspiring photographer , and I love taking photos of moments of life on streets. Since I take my camera wherever I go, it was important to me to know the legal requirements of taking and publishing of such photos. I recently came across this nice table on Wikimedia, which categorizes countries on if a consent is required to take photos of identifiable people, and to publish them, and to use them commercially.

I’ve been using conversational alpaca or sharegpt formats for fine-tuning LLMs with Axolotl , but it always felt unnecessary to limit the model on a conversational format when the use-case doesn’t require so. I’m currently working on a project to classify pull requests in my company’s code repositories. The model needs to look at the PR title, description, and code changes, then categorize the PR and explain its reasoning. I thought ..

Good book about raising a toddler. If you are reading this book, you are probably running into some difficulties with your kid. This book won't solve them in the way you are hoping, but it will still help.

With WebAssembly you can integrate different programming languages together. This opens up new possibilities to use great libraries written in one language in another different platform. In this article I want to show how to integrate a Go library for sentence tokenization in a JavaScript webpage.

I've been working with Jujutsu the last month or so. It's actually been really nice. It's yet another reminder that, despite the version control system monoculture encouraged by GitHub, there's still innovation and interesting things happening in this space. It reaffirms my believe that plain git is really no longer where we should be aiming for as a community. Last time I investigated Jujutsu I had some real show-stopping issues that ....
