I love the act of writing code, it clicks well with me. I love the feeling of my brain solving problems, figuring out how something works, and then finally understanding it. I love…

I've seen a lot of posts like this one, but this is the first to encapsulate how I feel so well. Honestly, I don't really know what to do. I spent my whole life (so far; I'm still …

I guess I gotta write one about CPUs now ;)

check again!

somewhat better now! added a bit more concurrency. lesson learned: use tokio next time

It's like when your uncle squeezes you at Christmas. You're glad to see him again, but it's just a liiiitttleee... too... much... for... your... lungssss,.,.,.,

Anecdotally, I've run a bunch of traceroutes and reverse traceroutes to different locations and they tend to follow the same AS paths — although sometimes the traceroute will surfa…

check the html :)

oh yeah i saw this! newer than the website though :)

This is awesome! To anyone interested in learning more about this, I wrote https://cpu.land/ a couple years ago. It doesn't go as in-depth into e.g. memory layout as OP does but do…

Had the pleasure of helping rack drives! Nothing more fun than an insane amount of data :P

Interesting. Got 19/20 too, and also missed #14!

i don't think it's your fault. spotify's entire website is down for me right now, i'm getting "upstream request timeout" and "upstream connect error or disconnect/reset before head…

if only this went into where the ocaml escape came from :)

This is pretty cool. Worth noting that Git does not actually only store full copies of files every time you make a change, this article I found does a really good job at explaining…

CSS transforms! transform: rotate(-2deg) skew(-2deg); transform-origin: bottom left;

"Reliable" may have been crufty wording but I did get more responsive results using it. MTR uses ICMP by default. Definitely want to do a hybrid thing in the future though!

Ooh, that's compelling. I wonder how that would work for an actual traceroute.

+1, love it

BGP looking glasses are very fun, although a bit of a different concept. And WOAH, that's really interesting about TTLs. Thanks for sharing! That's awesome and terrifying!

1. ICMP seemed a lot faster / more reliable, but you're right that UDP does sometimes bring out better results. Something I want to do is make it use a hybrid approach — sending bo…

TY, will read! I touched on this duality in the article actually :)
