I recently bought Dirty Rat , the absolute banger from Orbital’s 2023 Optical Delusion. It couldn’t be anything different, given that it’s a collaboration between the seminal electronic duo that emerged from the rave era and one of my British favorites, Sleaford Mods. Sleaford Mods’ barbed lyrics perfectly augment Orbital’s concrete-heavy digitalism. Mods’ James Williamson lambasts the people, “blaming everyone in the hospital, everyone ..

I handed my notice in recently. Unlike every other blog post which begins with that sentence, everything surrounding it has been amicable and mundane; I simply want to move onto something that’s more applicable to me 1 . There’s no juicy tale of workplace treachery to be found here, just musings on my insecurities. For the last few years the thought of leaving has been bubbling away in my head, but each time it was about to spill over....

Cook garlic in low-medium heat until softened. Add almond meal and cook 3-4 mins or until golden. Set aside to cool. 1 large handful of parsley. Blend the almond mixture to make a paste. Set aside. Spices 1 large onion halved and sliced. In a large pan, co....

A little over a month ago, I joined EnterpriseDB on a distributed Postgres product ( PGD ). The process of onboarding myself has been pretty similar at each company in the last decade, though I think I've gotten better at it. The process is of course influenced by the team, and my coworkers have been excellent. Still, I wanted to share my thought process and personal strategies. Avoid, at first, what is always challenging Trickier things a....

Most people likely already know and use the voice dictation feature in iOS and macOS all day, but I’ve only now seen the light. Yesterday, I discovered I could dictate text notes to my iPhone, even offline. It works with Obsidian, WhatsApp, and any other app where I need to enter text, like the Safari search box. I suck at entering text on the phone. I also hate WhatsApp audio messages, but I often recur to them as, again, I suck at typin..

Medieval monks also needed help with focus and attention. Joel J Miller discusses this in What Monks Know About Focus , the latest issue of Miller’s Book Review, which I recently discovered and shows great promise. While technology has evolved in the last fifteen hundred years, the human brain has not. And few people in the ancient world cared as much about the challenges of attention and distraction as monks. Our reasons might differ ..

There’s a family of tabletop games that are based directly on a nontrivial mathematics problem. As a casual and fun way to inaugurate my new blog (migrated from Wordpress to Hugo, after my work on getting better LaTeX mathmode support in Hugo), I thought I’d write a short listicle about them, so that I have a place to add more as I find them, as well as give the shortest canonical description of the associated math problem.

Over time, Oracle has been adding more contextual information into each allocated heap memory chunk, to make it easier to see what for your heap memory is used. This instrumentation is used for private (PGA,UGA,etc) heaps too, but this article focuses only on shared pool heaps. A few examples from past are: Library cache object hash values added to allocated shared pool chunk names (2010) The above technique is used for some other all....

A musician sight-reads a piece when they play it from the sheet music for the first time. Depending on their experience level and the difficulty of the piece, sight-reading can have mixed results. This variability in quality is extended considerably when an entire ensemble attempts to sight-read a piece – key signature changes can be missed, players can miss entrances, etc. While sight-reading is an important skill for musicians, it is no....
