More than 30 earths could fit between the earth and the moon. Our elementary school models of the solar system really undersell how big space is. The problem is, space is too big and human brains are bad at exponentials. Logarithmic charts like this one are technically accurate, but my brain has a hard time contextualizing it. To get an idea of how big space really is, let’s imagine that the earth is one millimeter wide. At that s..

I left home at 5 AM on my Triumph Bonneville, arrived in Palafavera at about 9 AM, and left on foot half an hour later. I was eager to see the Civetta’s northwest face again, and it was as I remembered it: giant, looming, impressive, intimidating, outstanding. As I crossed the valley below, I thought about Marco Anghilleri, who completed the first winter repeat of the Solleder route on that wall, and just then, I came across a plaque, just ..

A customer called us about some pretty weird-looking numbers in their system: You’ll note that the total number of entries in the index across all the nodes does not match. Notice that node C has 1 less entry than the rest of the system. At the same time, all the indicators are green . As far as the administrator can tell, there is no issue, except for the number discrepancy. Why is it behaving in this manner? Well, let’s zoom out a....

I take a blend of digital and hand-written notes. It’s a bit of a hodgepodge, but it’s working. I used to lean heavily into full-digital notes, but I started drifting towards a mixture of digital and hand-written notes. Initially it was complicated, but I think I’m converging on a good setup. What I describe here will continue to evolve I am sure, but I am enjoying where it’s currently at. Pen and paper is best for thinking # I’ve f....

Hi product managers This post is written primarily for product managers instead of my usual engineering audience. I want to explain why engineers may be reluctant to build traditional numbers-based pagination. By this I mean a list page featuring page numbers counting up from page 1, often including both the total number of pages and links to jump to particular pages. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 … 537. What exactly do we mean by classic numbered pa....

I have a Gigabyte Aorus X570 Elite motherboard which is known to have a rather problematic UEFI BIOS. Turning secure boot on, without the Microsoft keys present, would prevent any graphical output. The system was booting behind the scenes and I could SSH into it, only graphical output was ..

Common Crawl is the closest thing we have to an open index, though it doesn’t meet your requirement of ignoring robots.txt for corporate websites while obeying it for personal sites. Unfortunately, being open and publicly available means that people use it to train LLMs. Google did this for initial versions of Bard , so a lot of sites block its crawler. Most robots.txt guides for blocking GenAI crawlers include an entry for it now. Comm..
