I follow many great personal tech blogs but I feel the overall theme is too monochrome at time. It is relatively focused on traditional software/web development, since that’s my circle. I feel there are entire categories I’m missing on and would like to mix things up in my feed. I still follow some security researchers, SREs, and maybe some ux designers among others but...

It might be a while until you can make it out here and visit in person, so I'll try to explain one project of mine, Geokit, from top to bottom, to give you some of the flavor. I'll discuss what Geokit actually is and what you do wi...

My friend Ned Batchelder posted, "A list of commits is not a changelog!" and spurred this post.Summary: We'd all benefit from restoring the distinction between a detailed changelog and brief release notes, but that's hard to do if a project relies solely on GitHub as its communication platform.Context: Ned maintains...

“Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.” —George Santayana Back to Top Data was considered a material object, tied to bits, with no semantics per se. Knowledge was traditionally conceived as the immaterial object, living only in people’s minds and language. The destinies of data and knowledge...

Here’s a bit of lingo that I learned working at Zed: shredding. Or: going on a shred.What it means is to rewrite code. To take something apart — to feed it into the shredder — and put it back together again, but in a different, better way. It’s refactoring, but switching the scalpel for a sledgehammer.When you say y...

A Golang iterator is a function that “yields” one result at a time, instead of computing a whole set of results and returning them all at once. When you write a for loop where the range expression is an iterator, the loop will be executed once for each value returned by the iterator. That sounds complicated, but it’...

One of the surprises that comes with developing applications and operating a database cluster behind them is the discrepancy between practice and theory, development environment and the production.

DRAMHiT is a new hash table designed to work at the speed of DRAM. Architecting for performance, we embrace the fact that modern machines are distributed systems—while the latency of communication between the cores is much lower than in a traditional network, it is still dominant for the hash table workload. We design DRAMHiT to apply a range of optimizations typical for a distributed...
