Update Jan 4: Wow, this thing really took off! 1BRC is discussed at a couple of places on the internet, including Hacker News , lobste.rs , and Reddit . For folks to show-case non-Java solutions, there is a "Show & Tell" now, check that one out for 1BRC implementations in Rust, Go, C++, and others. Some interesting related write-ups include 1BRC in SQL with DuckDB by Robin Moffatt and 1 billion rows challenge in PostgreS....

2023 was certainly a year . Our Prime Minister got fined for not wearing a seatbelt, Paul O’Grady’s passing left millions of dog lovers and radio fans mourning, and shortly after some bloke got crowned king in a ceremony full of high-definition horse manure. The long-running series of Governmental cock-ups continued as they lost more seats and dithered from crisis to crisis, the usual. Also the F-22 got it’s first air-to-air kill against a....

No, not that Avatar. And not the other one either. This post is about avatar.png, a handful of lines of PHP that have inspired me for a long time. Around 2011 or 2012 a friend of mine, Andrew Kvalheim , blew my mind when he made his Skype profile picture display the IP address of the computer I was using. It might have looked a bit like this.

Recent press about an actual conversation with a whale was preceeded by ground-breaking work by Dr. Michelle Fournet and profiled in the fantastic documentary Fathom on AppleTV. This is a MUST WATCH if you love the ocean - or humanity!

Another year, another reflection. Theme Link to heading Ever since seeing CGP Grey’s video on yearly themes back in 2020 I’ve stuck to the practice, and it has worked pretty well as a mild forcing function. In 2022 it was ‘Health’ and this year’s it was ‘Growth & Learning’. Where possible I chose opportunities or activities that would allow for one or both. It would be impossible to list everything I’ve picked up through the various mediums..

In an era where digital dependence is commonplace, I moved towards personal tech independence in 2023. This blog post details my transition away from mainstream tech giants and towards more secure, private, and autonomous alternatives. Breaking Free from the Norm In 2023, I finally broke free from the likes of Google, Facebook, and other tech giants—a commitment I’d long made to myself but never fulfilled. Like many of you, Google and Fac....

I find a lot of cool articles around the internet, and inspired by some other weekly links collections I’ve come across recently, I thought I’d start my own little bloglet.

Yesterday evening, we watched The Vast of the Night , and what a pleasant surprise it was. One night, in a small New Mexico town, a girl who works at a local radio station and an older reporter boy listen to a recording of some strange noises. Through the radio and its listeners, throughout a single night, they uncover a series of sighting stories that, from clue to clue and radio testimony to radio testimony, bring them close to uncover..

I’ve been accepted into the Bristlemouth Pioneer Program . I’ve been granted a SOFAR Spotter with a Development Kit . Unfortunately it was detained in customs due to it’s high invoiced value. I required a “customs agent” to clear it - which I did not have.

I read 24 books for a total of 7070 pages in 2023. That’s seven more books than last year, which is quite an outstanding result considering the seemingly unstoppable decline in book reading I have suffered in recent years . Most have been fiction books, and that’s something new and influential with the final result, as I tend to read non-fiction more slowly. The bad news is that I did not review most of the books I read this year, and that..

Last year I wrote “Looking back at 2022” and found it valuable to reflect and celebrate a year of work, even if just as a reminder of the things that happened before going into the next. So with another year having passed, time to try again! This time for my second full year working at incident.io. To contextualise the year, some milestones ( see company post ) are: 34 to 77 employees Opened our first New York office, Stephen moving....

Three members of the Real Python team are joining us this week: Kate Finegan, Tappan Moore, and Philipp Acsany. We wanted to share a year-end wrap-up with tutorials, step-by-step projects, code conversations, and video courses that showcase what our team created this year.

This book was so heavily promoted across the internet I had to read it. Just like how I succumbed to an Athletic Greens subscription after the deluge of podcast ads.
