Take a look at the following chat screenshot: What is actually going on here? This small interaction showcases a numbe r of RavenDB features, all at once. Let’s first focus on how Telegram hands us images. This is done using Photoor Document messages (depending....

This fall I collaborated with my friend Brock on a guitar pedal project. It's based on a pedal schematic called "Yet Another Fuzz Face". Brock had done electronics projects but never designed and ordered a custom PCB. So I encouraged him to try inputting his schematic in KiCAD and designing a small circuit board he could mount into his guitar pedal enclosure. There was a pretty steep learning curve for KiCAD but he struggled through it and ..

My current client has an enterprise CI/CD pipeline that is maintained by a centralized team that does not use it. Its product owner(s) do not rely on its output for their revenue. They are not measured on its performance or reliability. And yet we are obligated to use this pipeline. There’s no other option. We were also handed a microservices architecture from the Architecture team so our application is comprised of about 20 separate serv..

In Day 7 we built a webhook delivery platform with retry logic, dead letter queues, and circuit breakers. But we glossed over a critical question: what happens when one customer’s misbehaving endpoint starts affecting everyone else? Today we’re diving into the Bulkhead pattern: isolating workloads so failures in one area don’t cascade into others. We’ll apply it to webhook delivery, then extend it to audit log storage and full multi-tenant ..

I call it 'Bedtime' The other day I saw a video by someone who bought a $16 electronic clock , and it looked interesting, because that little clock had been taunting me for months by showing up constantly in my AliExpress recommendations. I held off on buying it because what am I going to do with yet another clock , but the video said that it has an ESP8266 inside, and that, with a little soldering and programming, you could run ESPhome....

This is in response to an amazing video of this twenty-eight-year old Single Woman who seems far more advanced in her Christian faith than I was at her age. But she’s bringing up some interesting points about how the Church communities are failing Single Women. So. I encourage you to check out her video for (…)

I found out my brother (9 y/o) is getting a laptop for Christmas (Ryzen 5 5500U with Radeon - 16GB RAM). That means I will inevitably be asked to do setup sometime this week. I know the main thing he wants to do is make stop-motion animation videos, but he's not getting a dedicated GPU so Windows is not an option for video editing (or much else these days). What's the best distro for children to learn from? I looked into distros specifical....

The following script takes an email on stdin and constructs the associated lore.kernel.org link based on the email’s Message-ID header. The script copies the link to the Wayland clipboard and posts a notification. The escaping story is not perfect, but at least it is secure. (It only supports the most common characters in the message ID, but then it also can’t accidentally be misused for escaping shenanigans.) The script email-to-lo....

As AI generated content becomes the norm, I believe that human-generated content and raw thoughts and emotion will become more valuable. In many ways, I’d rather read a raw, unproduced, and scrappy blog post with grammatical mistakes over perfectly generated content that serves little value. – Armeet Singh Jatyani, Importance of Writing

Every machine serves a purpose. People need purpose. The temptation to become the machine is higher than ever. The promise of the machine is alluring. If I can just keep chugging forward, I will end up somewhere that is not here. If I can turn myself into a mechanism that takes input and consistently works towards some goal, I will make it. [..] You’re not a machine. You’re a person. Play to your strengths. Be sharp and strategic like ..

Another entry in the Toy Optimizer series . A long, long time ago (two years!) CF Bolz-Tereick and I made a video about load/store forwarding and an accompanying GitHub Gist about load/store forwarding (also called load elimination) in the Toy Optimizer. I said I would write a blog post about it, but never found the time—it got lost amid a sea of large life changes. It’s a neat idea: do an abstract interpretation over the trace,....
