When it comes to optimizing the performance of a system, two key metrics come into play: latency and throughput. But what exactly are these two metrics, and how do they differ? In this article, we'll explore the definitions and real-world examples of latency and throughput, and show you how to balance them for optimal system performance.

In the world of computing, a delicate balance must be struck between two important concepts: Availability and Consistency. But what exactly do these terms mean and how do they impact your systems? Read on to find out!

I think by now everybody reading this will have seen how the new generation of Large Language Models like ChatGPT are able to produce somewhat useful code . Like any advance in software development—from IDEs to high-level languages—this has generated some discussion on the future employment prospects in our field. This made me think about how these new tools could fit the world of Flow-Based Programming , a software development techni....

As part of my recent experiments with mmap 1 I have learned how to share data between processes using a memory-mapped file. Here I’ll show how to do it between two independent Python processes, but the same principles apply to any programming language. Create a file to store the data I will use the tempfile module so that the file gets deleted after the script finishes. I prefer using this when learning or testing new things, otherwise..

This is a gross oversimplification, but there are roughly two types of music players: classical and jazz. Classical knows what’s coming next. They play as a well-oiled machine that is in tune and sync. They can start and stop on a dime as directed. Jazz flows, bouncing to new places and riffing off the previous stanza. Sometimes beautiful and sometimes verging on horrid, jazz keeps time but not beat. Classical practices specific pieces and ..



When I started off in the 3D Printing world in November of ’22, I knew it would be neat to be able to print trinkets here and there, or maybe a Telescope or two. But to be able to help a neighbor in a bind? I didn’t expect that. On Tuesday I saw a request … Continue reading The post 3D Printing Saves A Neighbors Day appeared first on MiscDotGeek .


This week marked the 10-year anniversary of Docker. Let’s look back at how much has changed, and hear some stories about what people experienced while moving toward the containerized world we live in today.

The goal of this post is to explain the, often confusing, topic of recursion using a modified example of the process of killing a Minecraft slime. Typically, teachers will use examples like the Fibonacci sequence and the Towers of Hanoi to explain recursion. However, students often find these examples confusing because the underlying concepts are foreign to their prior experiences. My hope is that using the more relatable example of killing..

Have you explored Python's collections module? Within it, you'll find a powerful factory function called namedtuple(), which provides multiple enhancements over the standard tuple for writing clearer and cleaner code. This week on the show, Christopher Trudeau is here, bringing another batch of PyCoder's Weekly articles and projects.

Since few weeks I use restic as my backup tool. I made the switch from rdiff-backup due to its slow speed and frequent erorrs. Advantages of restic is its support for different backends (ssh, s3, rest server, etc), encryption and deduplication. To simplify my entire backup process, I choose to use the autorestic. With this tool you can configure restic using a YAML file, which is a lot easier than having to remember all the CLI options each..

Quoting the last paragraph from Italo Calvino’s Invisible Cities : The inferno of the living is not something that will be; if there is one, it is what is already here, the inferno where we live every day, that we form by being together. There are two ways to escape suffering it. The first is easy for many: accept the inferno and become such a part of it that you can no longer see it. The second is risky and demands constant vigilance ..

In general I don’t like to fuss over code, but this is exactly what I’ve been doing in preparation of the NLnet funded work. I’ve spent the last month restructuring Marginalia’s code base. It’s not completely done, but I’ve made great headway. Things got the way they got because in general for experimental solo-development projects, I think it makes sense to be fairly tolerant of technical debt. Since refactoring is something that is ex..

Here are some benchmarks I ran to compare the speed of running a list of regexes on all the Markdown files in my Obsidian folder (210 when I wrote this). The benchmark compares running the regexes on memory-mapped files versus loading the file contents as a string and running the regexes on that string. I’m using hyperfine to run the benchmarks. Considerations When we memory-map a file, we work with bytes. Python can run regexes over th..

Looking back on the years of my life this morning, I was thinking it would be an interesting exercise to review my work experience from earlier in my life, before college graduation and before the true start of my professional career, and examine one thing I am grateful for from each experience. I think it is important to look back to humble beginnings and the lessons learned through hard work and sweat.

Since my time at the university, pursuing a Computer Science degree, I have always been fascinated by programming languages and the tooling around them: compilers, IDEs, package managers, etc. Eventually, that got me involved as a hobbyist in the development of the Rust compiler and rust-analyzer, but I never got the chance to work professionally on programming language tooling… until two months ago! In January, the nice folks at prefix.dev..

I recently ran into a problem that seems to be present in a wide range of WebAuthn tutorials, but I don’t know where it originated.

Some years ago I came across a blog post that described programmers as being in one of three camps. It’s a fun, short post, so I encourage you to go read that real quick, but the gist of it is that programmers generally fall into one of three categories according to what they primarily value: Applied mathematicians, who appreciate elegant solutions to problems. Program execution on von Neumann machines is incidental. These programmers....
