After reading this, I agree! If you’re facing any performance problems at work, then this is worth a look. SIMD is supported by the majority of modern CPUs.

I need to figure out how to apply an artificial redscale filter on my photos. I haven’t heard of this film technique before; it’s awe-striking.

I’m reading this at night as my world slows down and prepares for the next day.

Kayaking through the Erie canal locks is so cool! I used to love visiting lock E-2 which is right by Peebles Island State Park.

I don’t professionally work with databases, though it was interesting to read about how concurrency issues plague that world as well. The trick of always processing rows in the same order is neat!

I don’t make art often, but it’s cool that the tactic I use for getting something on the page goes by the name automatic drawing.

Fun!

I can totally relate. I say that the frustration for me extends to tech in general. I haven’t used a Windows computer in a while, so I can’t easily help someone with issues there. Also, I spin up multiple servers to run this website when people can instead use Bear blog or GitHub pages.

This was a fun game, try it out!

Even though brocard is a weird name for them, I enjoyed reading the principles that William uses to triage vulnerabilities.

Using a certificate authority to sign a user’s public SSH key instead of storing them on the machine is pretty neat. I’ve worked on systems before where we had short-lived SSH keys and I imagine that the setup had to be similar to what’s presented here. If I scaled up and down infrastructure in my homelab more, then I can totally see myself implementing this.
