Ok I KNOW that keepalive is a cornerstone of http/2 and for like 99.999% of cases you want connection reuse. That being said is there any browser at all that allows you disable keepalive behavior? I just want to test something 😭

Stumbled upon something else related to this experiment. Seems as though the `stride=1` case is as fast as `stride=16` largely because of autovectorization. Compiling with `-C opt-level=z` shows that it really takes 2x as long for `stride=1`, apples-to-apples (`stride=16` is never autovectorized)
I was trying to reproduce a simple benchmark recently and it sent me down on a side quest to better understand a small part of how computers manage memory.
I did a little write-up here:

Hooked up to the internet (for free!) via Starlink on a 15hr flight is so sweet 👌 speeds are entirely respectable, I’m actually getting a LOT of work done

Thought it might be fun to reproduce the results in this great article from 15(!) years ago

Even repro’ing the first example (and making mistakes) has taught me so much about memory access patterns.
Working on a write up!

Sunday side-quest: fixing LSP support for a framework I’ve never used for a language I rarely use in an editor I sometimes use. Is this the curse of holiday programming?

What does it mean for something to be Turing complete?
I answer this question, and more, through a series of fully interactive Turing machine simulations! Play, pause, step forwards and backwards, and even write your own Turing machine programs in my latest blog post.

Did a little data wrangling for a little side-quest at work and it was... fun? Frustrating, but fun (in the end)

Trying something very new - I wrote a really tiny blog post

I’m hoping to continue jotting down all the neat tools, findings and learnings I come across as I stumble through my projects. Let me know what you think!

Today's small win: set up my own PDS that's going to be a test-bed for fun experiments/tools (and it actually works!). To be fair, the instructions github.com/bluesky-soci... made it incredibly easy. Took longer to set up the mail service

My feed is chock full of posts from insanely talented, smart people in software engineering across so many disciplines - the signal-to-noise ratio is through the roof. I was on a long social media hiatus, but I’m now so excited to just scroll through my feed and learn, learn, learn. So motivating.

Learning about labelers on ATProto is leading to side quest after side quest... Currently working on a CLI tool to help set up, announce and manage your own labeler and associated labels.

Many think Rust is primarily about memory safety, but the real reason to use Rust is developer productivity (for C++-like system programming) from having a sane package manager and type system.

I’ve worked on a decent number of things as a software engineer over the last decade or so, but I’ve really fallen in love with building dev tools. Building products and infrastructure is fun, but creating magical tooling to make everyone’s lives easier is a lot more rewarding to me, for some reason

It is so incredibly nice to have a social platform that values links again - a breath of fresh air in the poisoned ecosystem of the creator economy

I’m a Balatro noob - what’s considered a “crazy” score for a single hand? I just got one for 11M+, that seems nuts but I have no perspective
