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....

Dutch manufacturer Itho Daalderop seems to have an electronics reliability problem. I’ve now repaired 4 fans from the brand. One common problem seems to be that the transformer on the PCB of the CVE “Centrale ventilatie eenheid” breaks. It is … Continue reading →

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....

Problem synopsis I’m a huge fan of sqlc’s approach to code generation. I’ve seen sqlc called a reverse ORM , and I really like that moniker. However, as a sqlc newbie, I’m still discovering its edge cases. Today’s edge case is using postgres UPSERT queries with sqlc. The crux is that when upserting, it’s necessary for unique key conflicts to occur so that the UPDATE portion of the query executes. But non-null uuid Go types tend to....

Where to begin! Where to begin… Lets start with a good measure of success, one that I think most engineers could agree on: a from-scratch rebuild of a complex, internal tools app. Success with rebuilds is often fleeting, as many can attest. There’s risk involved. Extending the challenge further, lets assign (most) of the task to a team of platform engineers who aren’t too familiar with modern front-end technology – and then say that we su....
