Tacit knowledge, known as “tribal knowledge” in tech, is widespread in the industry. Documentation is often neglected and is frequently incorrect or incomplete. New hires learn by doing and rely on others for information. This reliance on tacit knowledge is efficient but becomes problematic when the person with the knowledge is unavailable. Tacit knowledge is […]
The discovery of the world’s earliest known wooden architecture has greatly altered scholars’ understanding of the capabilities of our ancient ancestors. The structure, found in Zambia’s Kalambo River, consists of two interlocking logs joined by a deliberately cut notch. It is believed that this structure may have served as a walkway or foundation over wetlands. […]
In this web content, the author discusses their experience in enhancing their tool called goMarkableStream by capturing gesture positions from a tablet’s screen and relaying them to the browser. They explore the use of WebSockets for message exchange and the challenges it presents. The author then considers using touch gestures on the tablet to send […]
In this article, the author explores the implementation details behind types, operators, and dynamic dispatch in CPython. They explain how the Python runtime executes operations such as “a + b” by following a bottom-up approach. They delve into the implementation of various data types, such as floats, and show how they use function pointer tables […]
The L4S architecture enables internet applications to achieve low queuing latency, low congestion loss, and scalable throughput control. It proposes that the root cause of queuing delay is in the capacity-seeking congestion controllers of senders, rather than the queue itself. By adopting new congestion control algorithms that can seek capacity with minimal queuing, applications can […]
The Eleanor crosses were a series of twelve stone monuments with crosses on top that were built by King Edward I in memory of his wife, Eleanor of Castile.

This web content presents a Python function that computes the Fibonacci sequence without using loops, recursion, or floating point arithmetic. The function f=lambda n:(b:=2<<n)**n*b//(b*b-b-1)%b is provided as an example and indeed generates the correct Fibonacci sequence. The content then delves into the concept of generating functions and how they can be used to represent the […]
