Between motorcycle rides with my friends from TOMCC Italia and family dinners at sunset, I spent most of the weekend in the foothills of Romagna. I’m fortunate to live close to such beautiful landscapes .

No sales or marketing, or other things I, as an engineer, like to shy away from doing - just enjoyable tinkering with models and infra. That’s printing money.

Back in the day, I was on a team that was allergic to change. Every small process improvement or tweak was deeply resented by team members, and it was hard to make progress. Tracking our tasks? Standups? Scrum? Writing status updates asynchronously? Whatever it was, the team was reluctant to try it out. The best manager I’ve ever had, tricked us with the experiment framework. Let’s try standups, but only for a definite period of time, and a..

Intel has called time on Clear Linux, its home-grown, performance-focused Linux distribution, ending support for the distro with immediate effect. That means no more security patches, no more updates, and... The post Intel Ends Clear Linux OS Development (And Users Need to Migrate Now) is from OMG! Linux and reproduction without permission is, like, a nope.

maps - lainchan.org - 10 months ago - eng
in any DSA textbook we'll find out that we have two ways to implement maps - so called "hashmaps" and and the less common "treemaps". which makes me wonder: why are there no "linked list maps"? reading elements would obviously be slower than a treemap - O(n) vs O(log n) - but inserting can be faster if we keep a reference to the tail of the linked list - O(1) vs O(log n). am i missing something?


Until now I’ve only read Le Guin’s science fiction work, and have wanted to give her fantasy series Earthsea a try for a while. I really enjoyed this first installment. The societies that the protagonist ventures through felt lived-in in a way that feels missing from some other high fantasy like the Lord of the Rings. The way that magic and the sorcerers and witches who perform it are weaved into the world was really well done. “Sorce....

This year has been very interesting so far. The first half absolutely sucked and went by in a second. There was a lot of shit going on at work, leading to me being burnt out and needing to quit the startup I co-founded. It was a forced break. What followed is pretty interesting. You need to reorient. You need to regain strength. The first four weeks I couldn’t really do anything and got sick again and again. My body needed to rest.

The latest version of Visual Studio Code Insiders now shows a prompt before you bring in a third-party MCP server. Neat! No more one-click command execution.

Back in February, I asked folks on the Fediverse if I should try to contribute native macOS sharing to Emacs upstream . While folks were keen on the sharing feature, there were reservations about whether or not a macOS-only patch would be welcome upstream. While my chances of success sounded fairly low, I figured I had to at least try before giving up… and I have to say, I'm glad I gave it a chance. Yesterday, my patch was finally merge....

Updating the gallery on this site has been an on-again off-again project for a long time. Mainly because I was running in to some issues with Expose. This version is built as a project from the ground up: exercising my rusty front-end “skills” and seeing how some of the Gemini tooling can help with such projects. The new gallery is at p.rob.sh/v3 .

Unexpected inconsistency in records The other day, I was trying to figure out a bug in my code, and it turned out to be a misunderstanding on my part as to how C# records work. It’s entirely possible that I’m the only one who expected them to work in the way that I did, but … Continue reading Unexpected inconsistency in records →

I work on homomorphic encryption (HE or FHE for “fully” homomorphic encryption) and I have written a lot about it on this blog (see the relevant tag). This article is a collection of short answers to questions I see on various threads and news aggregators discussing FHE. Facts If a service uses FHE and can respond to encrypted queries, can’t the service see your query? How is it possible to operate on encrypted data without seeing it?

TLDR: Check out the new Cluster Debug View  announcement If you had asked me twenty years ago what is hard about building a database, I would have told you that it is how to persist and retrieve data efficiently. Then I actually built RavenDB, which is not only a database, but a distributed database , and I changed my mind. The hardest thing about building a distributed database is the distribution aspect. RavenDB actually has two separ....

Engineers of the soul - lainchan.org - 10 months ago - eng
Writers and poets are called the engineers of the human soul (инженеры душ) So intellectual corporations like $RELX must be the "landlords of the human soul"!

If you want to express your own poetic thoughts and feelings through engineering, I suggest a po....

Today I learned that Kagi uses Yandex as part of its search infrastructure, making up about 2% of their costs, and their CEO has confirmed that they do not plan to change that. To quote: Yandex represents about 2% of our total costs and is only one of dozens of sources we use. To put this in perspective: removing any single source would degrade search quality for all users while having minimal economic impact on any particular regio....
