This is my first attempt at designing my own crossword. I was inspired by some of the puzzles published in the New Yorker recently and thought it would be fun to try and craft my own.

While gathering data for this post and attempting solutions, I changed my LTE router’s APN, which caused it to re-authenticate to AT&T, and after I was re-authenticated I was no longer being throttled. One Hacker News user suggested that re-authenticating may have caused me t....

What’s the “right” level of CPU utilization for a server? If you look at a monitoring dashboard from a well-designed and well-run service, what CPU utilization should we hope to see, averaged over a day or two? It’s a very general question, and it’s not clear it should have a single answer. That said, for a long time, I generally believed that higher is always better: we should aim for as close to 100% utilization as we can.

I saw a blurred video of a prisoner of war being beheaded last week. I’ve seen many images of war over the last >1 year, and none have affected me quite like this one. I don’t go out actively looking for these things, but I read different news channels and you end up seeing some things. As I described to someone else earlier, I think it’s the sound that did it. I had trouble explaining what I meant exactly, so I figured writing out the expl..

When I was at school they had a building which was mainly for the use of those doing their O Levels (the old name for what is now GCSE examinations). There were only two reasons I would get to go to the building: one was for music lessons as for some reason the music department was located there. The second was to attend the weekly youth night they held for each year group.

In a previous post (which went out a long time ago) I explained that we have the notion of a set of uint64 values that are used for document IDs. We build a B+Tree with different behaviors for branch pages and leaf pages, allowing us to pack a lot of document IDs (thousands or more) per page. The problem is that this structure hold the data compressed, so when we add or remove a value, we don’t know if it exists already or not. That i....

Our traders and researchers love Python for its agility and for its huge open-source ecosystem, especially when it comes to machine learning. But the heavy use of notebooks can make it difficult to support. Notebooks have a very different lifecycle than regular code, and aren’t always rigorously version controlled. And while most of our code (much of it written in OCaml) lives in a monorepo, putting all notebooks there is difficult; many no..

Noticed that the file sharing category was recommending Send (it's an actively maintained forka the now-deprecated Firefox Send, w branding removed) rather than Plik, cause, well, Plik has no end-to-end encryption; files're stored in plaintext on server. Meanwhile, Send encrypts upload....

Hello, I recently started getting paranoid about privacy and anonymity online and would like to ask some questions. First, specifically about 2 companies. I know Discord keeps logs. If I change my Discord and Spotify account emails to another email, is my old one with my irl name and info still permanently left in the database or does it get deleted? Other than that, VMs and VPNs. If I use a VPN that doesn't keep logs on my parent machin....
