I have been reading books mostly on Kindle for the last 10 years or so. Visited a nearby library today. I didn't realize I was missing the experience of browsing shelves, stumbling upon unexpected gems, getting lost in the recommendations section, and choosing something physical to checkout.

In this blog post, I share some findings from my exploration of HTTP Archive data. I discovered that a significant number of websites using manifest.json files are using the default configuration generated by Create React App. I plan to investigate this further and determine how prevalent default manifest files are across the web.

Als junger Entwickler war ich naiv und ambitioniert. Ich suchte die perfekte Softwarearchitektur, einen Ansatz, den ich über alle Probleme stülpen könnte, unabhängig von der Branche, den Skalierungsanforderungen, den Sicherheitsmaßnahmen oder den Usern. Man müsste nur dieses eine Problem abstrakt lösen, dann könnte diese Architektur doch überall angewandt werden. Oder? Dieser Artikel erschien erstmals im August 2024 als Premiumarti..

I'm exploring a new way to build reactive applications using an 'Agents' API. Inspired by Preact Signals and my previous reactive-prompt project, this toolkit uses Chrome's prompt API. Each Agent has a persona, task, and context, reacting to input changes. You can chain Agents, passing data between them. I've created different Agent types like a 'Human' Agent representing user input and a 'ToolCaller' that can execute JavaScript functio..

Memory mapping a file for reading sounds nice: turn inconvenient read calls and manual buffering into just simple indexing of a memory… but it does blocking IO under the hood, turn a &[u8] byte arrays into an async hazard and making “concurrent” async code actually run sequentially! Code affected likely runs slower, underutilises machine resources, and has undesirable latency spikes. I’ve done some experiments in Rust that show exactly ....

McLuhan and Media Studies: An Underlooked Sub-discipline?

I was first exposed to the ideas of the Canadian philosopher Marshall McLuhan in a talk by Chris Cox (CPO of Meta) at the Menlo Park campus. McLuhan’s work centers around media studies, which is a sub-discipline of philosophy that isn’t often taught in introductory or intermediate philosophy courses. After digging deeper into the work of McLuhan alone, I felt that it was strange I had never heard of some of these ideas given how predictiv..

Bugs in distributed systems are hard to find, largely because systems interact in chaotic ways. And even once you've found a bug, it can be anywhere from simple to impossible to reproduce it. It's about as far away as you can get from the ideal test environment: property testing a pure function. But what if we could write our code in a way that we can isolate the chaotic aspects of our distributed system during testing : run multiple sys....

I came across an interesting Bash issue today, as I was trying to restore a zstd -compressed CloneZilla Partclone image to a raw file in order to extract some data from it. For some reason, none of the solutions on the internet worked, and searching for the error message turned up no useful results. This was the command line I had constructed: $ zstdcat nvme0n1p3.ntfs-ptcl-img.zst.* | sudo partclone.ntfs -C -r -W -s - -O image.img Not....

RavenDB has a hidden feature, enabled by default and not something that you usually need to be aware of. It has built-in support for caching. Consider the following code: async Task < Dictionary < string , int >> HowMuchWorkToDo ( string userId ) { using var session = _documentStore . OpenAsyncSession ( ) ; var results = await session .

While working on a new project recently, I needed to allow application users to enter a dynamic list of key-value pairs. Not knowing better, I reached for what I knew and built out a React component to dynamically add and remove inputs while also inserting into the websocket to sync the changeset with the server. Then on the server-side, I had to write some additional handlers to process those values. It worked, but it didn’t feel great.

One of my friends, an outstanding programmer who likes to fly under the radar, frequently tells me he admires my “ability to broadcast”. I guess he refers to the fact that I’m keeping a blog, and that I’m not afraid of writing with transparency about my adventures in software engineering. To me, it all feels natural, so his comment motivated me to explain in more detail why I’m doing what I’m doing.

I started using the Zsh a few years ago and I’ve liked its completion features. I tried out Oh-my-zsh for a while and I liked the stock Robby Russel prompt. It gave me all the information I cared about: the status of the last command, current directory, and the state of the current Git repository. However, I didn’t like how slow Oh-my-zsh was making my shell startup. This mattered especially, I think, because my Emacs config would fire up....
