I have become aware of something lately, even if this new age verification app the eu commission is pushing is open source and "super safe" there is still one glaring issue. The tor nodes, mainly the exit nodes are mainly located in western/central parts of europe: Germanly, Belgium. When outproxing using those nodes to clearnet sites especially as a non eu individual an age verification barrier could be used as deanonymising or at least c..

Generations ago, you were starting work at your early teens and working until almost the end. As technology advances, people can now start working later (school, studies), retire earlier (pension), receive benefits, or build enough assets and stop working. It seems we have various dials (political, cultural) to keep or enforce a relative balance of […]

I was so excited about the first BIDA dance that I arrived two weeks early. I biked over from Medford to the Park Av Church in Arlington and was really disappointed to find the hall was empty. But I came back when the dance was actually happening, and it was fantastic. It immediately became my favorite dance. I started volunteering, first out of frugality (volunteers get in free!) and then out of a sense of wanting to cont....

缘起 本来在tg里刷到个 博主syhily 讲语言和文字，感觉这老哥知识好渊博。于是慕名点开他的𝕏，好家伙直接丢了个暴论，大概意思说 孩子问他为啥要学习，他想了半天发现不好解释，就说反正父母养育你，孩子能报答的就是努力学习。 我本来想翻一下原文的，发现 syhily 都销号跑路了。syhily自己也说「大号废了」，哈哈哈好几十万的粉的呢。𝕏本来就是大粪坑，这言论一出秒变热门，原生家庭党纷纷出动，被喷死了。 回到正题，我其实最近也被问到这个问题。我也没能免俗，讲「知识改变命运」，学习好将来有出路这些老话我也讲了一些。但是我对孩子讲了三点自己的理解。 一、学习的用处 成年人不谈好坏，只谈利弊。我就直接跟娃说，我作为父母千禧代这一辈人普遍有两个选择，长大要么生活在农村，要么在城市。孩子这一辈估计绝大部分会选择城市了。只有逢年过节去乡下探亲； 城市是什么？一堵 城 墙（门槛）围起来的 市 场 市场是什么？ 交换 。 进入这个市场，最便宜最方便，最....

Last year I ported an image processing pipeline from JavaScript to Rust compiled to WebAssembly. The JS version took 1.2 seconds to apply a chain of filters — blur, sharpen, color correction, resize — to a 4K image in the browser. The Rust Wasm version did the same work in 58 milliseconds. Not a typo. A 20x speedup, running in the same browser, on the same machine, called from the same React app.

I’m currently working on the next edition of my Windows Server book for Cengage, updating everything from Windows Server 2022 to 2025. As you’d expect, my primary lab machine is a high-end 14th Gen Intel Core i9 system running Windows 11, hosting multiple Hyper-V virtual machines (VMs) for roles like Active Directory, IIS, DNS, DHCP, and more. Out of curiosity (and honestly, just for fun), I decided to spin up the same Windows Server 2025..

The Manager’s Path walks the reader through the different phases of leadership software engineers encounter in their career, from intern mentor and tech lead to VP and CTO. The book is well written and filled with good advice. I actually first picked it up towards the end of 2024 and I stopped reading right at the point of where I was in my own career. It was somewhat helpful framing tool, but I didn’t think much of it until I picked it up....

Like everything else, we have been using AI in various forms for a while now, from asking ChatGPT to write a function to asking it to explain an error, then graduating to running it on our code in the IDE, and finally to full-blown independent coding assistants. Recently, we shifted into a much higher gear, rolling it out across most of the teams at RavenDB. I want to talk specifically about what that looks like in practice in real produc....
