Multi-Timer Gizmo

Menu Multi-Timer Gizmo My friend, Dave Gauer, built a “multitimer” back in 2021. It is a small desktop gizmo for keeping track of time spent on rapidly switching tasks. One pushes a button and time starts accumulating on that button’s timer. Dave’s multi-timer is based on a RaspberryPi Pico — fancy micro-computer stuff. In fact, his unit has three distinct microcontrollers in it: the keypad and LCD each have their own! Did an academic already do this? Thinking about Dave’s multi-timer, I was

How Does Timecode Vinyl Actually Work? (Pt. 3) Since its release in 2011, the Traktor Control Vinyl MK2 has sparked curiosity among digital DJs and audio developers alike.

Why did books start being divided into chapters? A new history

Perhaps it is the inevitable fate of any convention, but literary history does not, it turns out, have many examples of people appreciating great chaptering. In The History of English Prose Rhythm (1912) – one of the sources for James Joyce’s virtuosic-or-unreadable parodies of the evolution of English prose in Ulysses – George Saintsbury remarks on Thomas Malory’s decision to insert a chapter break at a decisive moment in his fifteenth-century Morte d’Arthur.

Falcon 9 Milestones Vindicate SpaceX’s ‘Dumb’ Approach to Reuse

As SpaceX's Starship vehicle gathered all of the attention this week, the company's workhorse Falcon 9 rocket continued to hit some impressive milestones. Both occurred during relatively anonymous launches of the company's Starlink satellites but are nonetheless notable because they underscore the value of first-stage reuse, which SpaceX has pioneered over the past decade.

Synchronized demand is the moment a large cohort of clients acts almost together. In a service with capacity $\mu$ requests per second and background load $\lambda_0$, the usable headroom is $H = \mu - \lambda_0 > 0$. When $M$ clients align—after a cache expiry, at a cron boundary, or as a service returns from an outage—the bucketed arrival rate can exceed $H$ by large factors. Queues form, timeouts propagate, retries synchronize, and a minor disturbance becomes a major incident. The task is to
