After nearly a decade of building embedded systems in C, C++, and Rust, I’ve somehow ended up writing Haskell for a living. If you’d asked me about functional programming a few years ago, I would have told you it was self-indulgent academic baloney—and then I stumbled into people using it for real-time systems where microseconds can mean literal life or death. I’m too old to try to convince people what tools they should use, but Haskell has some features that might interest anyone who cares abo

Multi-threading is always the wrong design “We’ll just do that on a background thread” uNetworking AB · Follow 4 min read · Nov 29, 2023 -- 34 Listen Share Say what you want about Node.js. It sucks, a lot. But it was made with one very accurate observation: multithreading sucks even more. A CPU with 4 cores doesn’t work like you are taught from entry level computer science.

At some point during the ’90s, the trend of marketing high-thread-count bedsheets as a higher-quality option took off. It's easy to see why you could fall for it: Higher-thread-count sheets often feel soft and silky, with a nice weight to them thanks to all the piled-on threads. More fabric must be better and last longer, right? But while thread count does affect the density and feel of that fabric, it doesn't necessarily make it a great bedsheet, or a longer-lasting one. Part of that is the he
