Why the Substack hype is much ado about very little

Why Read Classic Books?
This is my first attempt to “think out loud” about the question I get most often: why bother reading the Classics? This is still very much a work in progress: I think people don’t consider and adapt their own beliefs often enough (see also: mental liquidity ). I consider my opinions here to be very much loosely held…

All living beings on Earth constantly search for water—tree roots grow into cracked or leaky underground pipes to access the water they carry, camels can go a full week without drinking thanks to the unique water-storage capacity of their oval-shaped red…

How to exfiltrate code from Bitbucket
Every year or so, something compels me to start over with a fresh OS image. Most recently, that something was an unfortunate water bottle incident. Once again, I need to pull down my digital life from the internet. The code and assets for this blog currently live in a 500 MB Git repository, which was hosted on…

The Poincaré Conjecture, Explained
Poincaré began working on what is now considered to be the foundation of topology and algebraic topology in the 1890s with the work Analysis Situs (1895) and five later supplements (1899; 1900, 1902a, 1902b, 1904).

Is Your Linux Version Hiding Interrupt CPU Usage from You?
TL;DR: Some Linux distros and even different kernel versions within a distro have disabled IRQ time accounting. In such case, your monitoring tools will report zero time spent in hardware interrupt handlers (shown as %hi, %irq, hiq, etc). It’s easy to check how your kernel is behaving by looking at /proc/stat and you…

Building an Emacs Lisp VM in Rust
Updated: 2023-01-06 About a year ago I was bitten by the PL bug. It started with reading Crafting Interpreters and discovering the wonders hidden under the hood of a compiler. I am also been a big fan of Emacs, and this started to get me interested in how its interpreter works. At the same time, I was reading the Rust…

A History of the Rubinius Ruby JIT
Rubinius began as a metacircular implementation of Ruby and was billed as Ruby in Ruby . Today the core and much of the standard library, parser, bytecode compiler, and other components are implemented in Ruby, but the interpreter, runtime, GC and other components, are written in C++.

I use Attrs instead of Pydantic

My EC2 Wishlist
While I've made engineers inside Amazon aware of all of these at various times, I think it's time to post my wishlist here — both so that a wider audience inside Amazon can hear more about these, and so that the FreeBSD community (especially the people who are financially supporting my work ) can see what I'm aiming…
