Usually I write about solutions to problems I’ve worked out, but I’ve found myself increasingly becoming interesting in where solutions come from. Maybe it’s because I’ve been reading Boorstin’s excellent The Discoverers, which I’d strongly recommend. Regardless of why, I thought I’d switch up the usual dance step today, and discuss what solving my most-recent-big-problem actually looked like, in terms of what I tried, where I looked, and what the timeline was.

Published 2021-03-19 Updated 2022-09-21 I keep seeing discussions that equate zig's level of memory safety with c (or occasionally with rust!). Neither is particularly accurate. This is an attempt at a more detailed breakdown. This article is limited to memory safety. See Assorted thoughts on zig and rust for a more general comparison. I'm concerned mostly with security. In practice, it doesn't seem that any level of testing is sufficient to prevent vulnerabilities due to memory safety in la

In a recent post, I talked about a proof of concept tool to verify estimates automatically. Since that post, I have overhauled the tool twice: first to turn it into a rudimentary proof assistant that could also handle some propositional logic; and second into a much more flexible proof assistant (deliberately designed to mimic the Lean proof assistant in several key aspects) that is also powered by the extensive Python package sympy for symbolic algebra, following the feedback from previous comm

My goal is to help you save time and frustration. Stop resisting. That’s the most important lesson.

There is a lot to love in Andor. It is a dense show, a big show, one that is filled with fascinatingly layered characters worth diving deep into, twisting plotlines that hold a mirror up to our world and the galaxy far, far away alike. It’s a show that, in spite of a certain reputation in contrast to other Star Wars stories, is filled with little nods to the franchise’s history old and new. But right now, at least in our moment of interest, it’s a show where Cassian Andor’s blaster pistol goes

A newly described creature from the Cambrian period is putting a bizarre twist on what we thought we knew about early animal evolution. Meet Mosura fentoni—a three-eyed, clawed, and flappy-limbed predator about the size of your finger, recently identified from Canada’s famed Burgess Shale. The alien-looking animal is part of a group called radiodonts, a now-extinct lineage of arthropods best known for Anomalocaris, a three-foot-long (one-meter-long) sea terror with spiny limbs and a circular mo

Over the last 10 years, I’ve built several distributed systems on top of object storage, with WarpStream being the most recent. One consistent factor across all of these systems is how much time we spent solving what seems like a relatively straightforward problem: removing files from object storage that had been logically deleted either due to data expiry or compaction.
