Author of William the Conqueror's 'Medieval Big Data' Project Revealed

The findings challenge long-held assumptions about the scale and intent of William the Conqueror’s great survey. Drawing on the earliest surviving manuscript of the survey, known as Exon Domesday, researchers argue that the survey was not simply a means of maximising tax but a far more ambitious and intricate exercise in governmental control - akin to an 11th-century form of big data processing. Professor Stephen Baxter (University of Oxford), Professor Julia Crick (King’s College London), and

Surfing on a Matchbox (1999)

It is one tenth the size of a Palm Pilot and dwarfed by a typical desktop computer, which is 3,000 times larger. The matchbox-sized server was built from standard components by Professor Vaughan Pratt, a computer scientist at Stanford University, California. "It's basically a powerful little computer and we could have set it up for a number of different uses," he said. "But, because most people think of servers as mysterious boxes, located in dark basements, I thought making it into a web serv

Async Queue – One of my favorite programming interview questions

For the past 7+ years, I've been conducting a programming interview that has been a true personal favorite of mine. It was passed down to me from good friends (Jeremy Kaplan and Carl Sverre, and it was the latter whom I believe invented it). This interview has probably been given by us between 500-1000 times across different companies, and upon googling for "async queue interview", I see tons of results. So, it's probably fine for me to blog about it. My main goal with this blog post is to disc

A Tesla robotaxi inexplicably drove into a parked car

In a video recorded by YouTuber DirtyTesla, a self-driving Model Y is seen turning and accelerating into a Toyota, making light contact with its tire.

Tesla's robotaxi service launched in Austin just two weeks ago with a small fleet. According to DirtyT

Bcachefs may be headed out of the kernel

Bcachefs may be headed out of the kernel The history of the bcachefs filesystem in the kernel has been turbulent, most recently with Linus Torvalds refusing a pull request for the 6.16-rc3 release. Torvalds has now pulled the code in question, but also said: I think we'll be parting ways in the 6.17 merge window. You made it very clear that I can't even question any bug-fixes and I should just pull anything and everything. Honestly, at that point, I don't really feel comfortable being involved

Rust and WASM for Form Validation

In recent years, Rust and WebAssembly have become much more usable for pure backend-style engineers. When I say “pure backend-style”, I mean people who never wrapped their heads around React, SPAs, and all that stuff. This, unsurprisingly, includes me. For a very long time, in order to use WASM you were strongly guided towards using Webpack and a whole array of Node-related tools in order to just get started. These days, luckily, the story has become much more streamlined. In today’s tutorial,
