The author redesigned their personal website in two waves, first adding infrastructure improvements like full-text search, dark mode support, and structured data, then overhauling content and layout using Claude Code. Th…
The article explains that NixOS can use zramSwap, which creates a compressed swap space in RAM via the kernel's zram module, offering a faster alternative to disk-based swap and reducing SSD wear. It provides configurati…
The article describes a small Rust-based back-end system called "upvoters," created to handle anonymous upvotes on static blogs, with compatibility for Hugo. The author also mentions recent website design changes influen…
Guide for building a custom personal dashboard using Claude Code as the primary developer, with a focus on minimal dependencies and fast iteration. It outlines a single-file starter structure for a FastAPI backend with S…
Here is a factual summary of the article: The article describes the creation of "BeatPaxos," an interactive tutorial game built using Claude Code that simulates the Paxos distributed consensus algorithm. In the game, pl…
Railway has partnered with Stripe to launch a new plugin that allows developers to deploy and provision Railway resources—such as PostgreSQL databases and hosting—directly from the Stripe CLI using a single command. This…
This article provides instructions for creating a narrated demo video by using the `agent-browser` tool to capture screenshots of a web application, then generating synchronized voiceover audio via the Inworld TTS API. I…
The article describes the author's first experience using Claude Code, an AI coding agent, to build a web-based visualizer for Hybrid Logical Clocks (HLC)—a timestamp system that combines physical time with a logical cou…
This chapter from *Operating Systems: Three Easy Pieces* examines the challenges of multiprocessor scheduling, including cache coherence, synchronization, and cache affinity. It compares two primary approaches: Single-Qu…
Bun v1.3.11 reduces its Linux x64 binary size by 4 MB by removing CMake, and introduces a new `Bun.cron` API for cross-platform OS-level cron job management. The update also adds `Bun.sliceAnsi`, a high-performance built…
The article proposes a workflow to streamline the creation of Mapbox GL JS style JSONs for a frontend application. Currently, the process involves manual styling in Mapbox Studio, which is a bottleneck; the solution is t…
The article explains how token bucket algorithms can prevent retry storms in distributed systems by stopping retries when a downstream service fails. It warns that implementing this algorithm in a sequential client drive…
The article explores the concept of "hyperbolic time chamber projects"—ambitious personal projects that require a disruption of normal time and obligations to pursue—and contrasts them with "I know kung-fu" projects, whi…
The author created a personal programming style guide repository, initially as a "chaotic brain dump" of their software design preferences, to document habits for both human readers and AI coding tools like Claude. They …
To use the Keychron Launcher on Linux for keyboard configuration and firmware upgrades, a udev rule must be created at `/etc/udev/rules.d/50-keychron.rules` using the keyboard's VID and PID to grant the browser access to…
The article argues that Product-Led Growth (PLG) is no longer sufficient, as AI shifts software consumption from human users to autonomous agents and workflows, necessitating a new model called AI-Led Growth (ALG). It ex…
The article discusses two main time-related issues: daylight saving time (DST) caused software errors, such as Claude entering an infinite loop when clocks skipped from 1:59 AM to 3:00 AM, and the Earth's rotational spee…
The article describes the restructuring of the **NetEscapades.EnumGenerators** NuGet package, a source generator that creates fast `ToStringFast()` methods for enums to improve performance over built-in .NET methods. The…
