I’ve spent roughly the last decade and some change as a software engineer, and recently decided to start a solo consultancy.

I’d rather work with businesses that already feel operational pain and need someone technical to help untangle it properly.

For those of you who’ve made this jump:* how did you get your first real project?

Also, if anyone knows SMEs or operators dealing with this sort of mess, I’d be glad to chat.

As a gesture of goodwill, I’m offering the first 5 clients 10 hours free to help get an initial project moving.

The simplest would be just to convert the definition into code:int gcd ( int a , int b ) { if ( b == 0 ) return a ; else return gcd ( b , a % b ); }You can rewrite it more compactly like this:int gcd ( int a , int b ) { return ( b ?

gcd ( b , a % b ) : a ); }You can rewrite it as a loop, which will be closer to how it is actually executed by the hardware.

#Binary GCDThe binary GCD algorithm was discovered around the same time as Euclid’s, but on the other end of the civilized world, in ancient China.

Analogous to the Euclidean algorithm, it is based on a few similar observations:$\gcd(0, b) = b$ and symmetrically $\gcd(a, 0) = a$; $\gcd(2a, 2b) = 2 \cdot \gcd(a, b)$; $\gcd(2a, b) = \gcd(a, …

The seven programming ur-languagesI regularly hear people asking which programming language to learn, and then reeling off a list of very similar languages (“Should I learn Java, C#, C++, Python, or Ruby?”).

I am aware of seven ur-languages in software today.

ALGOL itself included ALGOL 58, ALGOL 60, ALGOL W, and ALGOL 68.

Since 2010, ideas from the ML ur-language have been appearing.

Lisp consists of prefix expressions enclosed in parentheses, for example( + 2 3 ) ( defun square (x) (x) ( * x x)) x x)) ( * (square 3 ) 3 ) (squareThis syntax seems bizarre, but the language also has a built-in representation of lists as a data structure as parentheses around the space separated items (e.…

The world in which IPv6 was a good designLast November I went to an IETF meeting for the first time.

And best of all, we could drop 12 bytes (source/dest ethernet addresses) from every ethernet packet, and 18 bytes (source/dest/AP addresses) from every wifi packet.

The idea that we could someday drop ethernet addresses helped to justify the oversized IPv6 addresses.

And if we're not rid of IPv4, we won't be rid of ethernet addresses, or wifi addresses.

Each of those gives you a new IP address, and each time your IP address changes, you kill all your connections.

The only time they see it is when it impedes their access to a site.

Yet still the operator emblazons this brand on the interstitial.

Does he think he's Tony Stark in Sokovia, or what?

NASA Shuts Off Instrument on Voyager 1 to Keep Spacecraft OperatingOn April 17, engineers at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in Southern California sent commands to shut down an instrument aboard Voyager 1 called the Low-energy Charged Particles experiment, or LECP.

Like Voyager 2, Voyager 1 relies on a radioisotope thermoelectric generator, a device that converts heat from decaying plutonium into electricity.

The Voyager team needed to act first.

“While shutting down a science instrument is not anybody’s preference, it is the best option available,” said Kareem Badaruddin, Voyager mission manager at JPL.

The team shut off the LECP on Voyager 2 in March 2025.

tl;dr: on Apple Silicon, a WebAssembly module's linear memory can be shared directly with the GPU: no copies, no serialization, no intermediate buffers.

Your module gets a flat byte array (linear memory) and that's the universe ... everything outside is mediated by "host" function calls.

On Apple Silicon, this is the zero-copy path, i.e.

The Wasm module's linear memory captures the actor's logical state; the KV cache captures the inference engine's accumulated context.

What's being builtDriftwood is a runtime for stateful Wasm actors with GPU inference.

From before their babies are born, men undergo serious hormonal changes that can powerfully influence their behaviour – with consequences for their child's wellbeing.

In the months before my son was born, my partner and I attended an active birth workshop, a breastfeeding session and the hospital-run antenatal course, read a small pile of pregnancy and baby books and scrolled through loads of websites.

Our notepads quickly filled up.

Among my notes of that time are details of the many ways women's bodies prepare for birth and motherhood: hormones rise and drop, organs move, brains reshape.

No one, however, told me that my brain and body were also readying for fatherhood.

It seems that things wouldn't work without a BIOS update: PyTorch was unable to find the GPU.

The reserved memory can be as low as 512MB.

Implications:The CPU is not able to use the GPU reserved memory.

The GPU can use the total of Reserved + GTT, but utilizing both simultaneously can be less efficient than a single large GTT pool due to fragmentation and addressing overhead.

Some legacy games or software sadly might see the GPU memory as 512 MB and refuse to work, this has not happened to me so far though.

Lindell Williams (left) and Grant Brodnik align an optical fiber with the edge of an integrated photonics chip.

These so-called photonics chips use optical devices such as lasers, waveguides, filters and switches to shuttle light around and process information.

Credit: R. Jacobson/NISTA Multilayered ApproachThe new NIST photonics chip is a bit like a layer cake.

The researchers then added pieces of metal to electrically control how the circuits convert one color of light to others.

Tantala can transform light in ways that feel like magic, taking in a single laser color and putting out the full rainbow of visible light colors plus a wide range of infrared wavelengths.

What makes transaction ID wraparound particularly dangerous is not merely its existence, but the way it manifests.

Transaction ID wraparound is governed by cumulative transaction counts and long-term aging of data.

To determine which row versions are visible, PostgreSQL assigns a transaction ID (XID) to every write transaction.

How Autovacuum Prevents Transaction ID WraparoundIn normal operation, PostgreSQL relies on autovacuum to prevent transaction ID wraparound.

It was caused by transaction ID freezing not occurring over an extended period of time.

Louis “Bud” Abernathy, 10, and his brother, Temple, 6, inherited their father’s spirit of adventure and set out in 1910 to ride their horses more than 2,000 miles from Frederick, Oklahoma, to New York City.

The boys’ father, Texan Jack “Catch ’em Alive” Abernathy, a United States marshal with a leaning toward picturesque behavior, was born in Bosque County in 1876 and grew up punching cows on his father’s ranch.

The boys’ father agreed to their cross-country ride and helped them plan the route.

The boys’ arrival in New York was planned to coincide with the return of Roosevelt from an African hunting expedition.

On the trip to New York, Bud rode Sam Bass, his father’s wolf-chasing horse, and…

I tried Claude Design yesterday and I have a theory for how this whole thing shakes out.

Claude Design is the first of those two tools, and takes the opposite bet.

Claude Design, for all its roughness, is at least honest about what it is: HTML and JS all the way down.

And it has a massive structural advantage: its sibling is Claude Code.

Eventually, I can see Claude Design just dumping things directly into Claude Code and vice versa.

On 7 April, right before Donald Trump announced a temporary ceasefire with Iran, traders bet $950m that oil prices would come down.

It’s also easier than ever to buy commodity derivatives like oil futures, where traders gamble on what the price of oil will be in the future.

Insider futures trading could be seen as a subset of this typical insider trading, but the territory is new.

“The trick is that there are essentially no clean cases of people getting in trouble for commodity futures insider trading,” Verstein said.

“Unlike corporate insider trading, there’s a lot of ways for the government to make itself be correct.

The C programming language retains the ancient lore, using float to refer to a 32-bit floating point number and double to refer to a floating point number with double the number of bits.

Python simply uses float to refer to the most common floating point format, which C calls double .

It’s surprisingly common for people to speak of a request rate without specifying what the length of the period is.

If you move the window to a high-resolution screen, you get a lower request rate.

we should be able to say something like “our request rate is 57 watts.” Except obviously not watts.

Turns out there are two si units that both could fit:The hertz, or Hz, is the si unit of frequency.

It makes sense then that we would say the request rate is 500 Hz when we talk about highly regular load testing, where one request is issued consistently every 2 ms.

When compilers surprise youWritten by me, proof-read by an LLM.

If you turn the optimiser up to -O3 you’ll see the compiler works even harder to vectorise the loop using parallel adds.

Clang checks for positive value , and if so it does:lea eax , [ rdi - 1 ] ; eax = value - 1 lea ecx , [ rdi - 2 ] ; ecx = value - 2 imul rcx , rax ; rcx = (value - 1) * (value - 2) shr rcx ; rcx >>= 1 lea eax , [ rdi + rcx ] ; eax = value + rcx dec eax ; --eax retIt was not at all obvious to me what on earth was going on here.

With the recent 0.20 release of xdg-user-dirs we enabled the “Projects” directory by default.

The purpose of the Projects directory is to give applications a default location to place project files that do not cleanly belong into one of the existing categories (Documents, Music, Pictures, Videos).

Examples of this are software engineering projects, scientific projects, 3D printing projects, CAD design or even things like video editing projects, where project files would end up in the “Projects” directory, with output video being more at home in “Videos”.

I’ve recommended Claude Code extensively in this newsletter (no sponsorship) and wrote an article supporting their stand against AI weapons systems.

And despite “several thousand scans” of Linux kernel code, Mythos was “unable to successfully exploit any” Linux kernel vulnerability remotely.

Their apps, while useful, are still (wildly) buggy and Claude Code is vastly inferior to Codex from an intelligence/thoroughness perspective.

They did it again to make unproven claims about “Chinese actors” using Claude Code to hack systems.

Anthropic built an era-defining product with Claude Code and it’s spin-off.

But the shell and other command-line programs still expect to talk to something that looks like a real terminal device.

iTerm2 accepts the SSH conductor protocol from terminal output that is not actually coming from a trusted, real conductor session.

In other words, untrusted terminal output can impersonate the remote conductor.

In the exploit case, iTerm2 still writes those commands to the PTY, but there is no real SSH conductor.

By default, Kubernetes tries to allocate a /64 from the pod network IPv6 CIDR to each node.

Maybe you want a multi-region cluster, a cluster spanning between clouds and a cluster that includes edge devices.

A few notes about Kubernetes IPv6Within the Kubernetes network and the IPv6 Internet, all of the above approaches work without problems.

Native IPv6 routing simplifies the networking drastically but also exposes your workloads directly to the Internet if all addresses are correctly advertised and there is no filtering; a firewall is essential.

If native IPv6 is, for whatever reason, not possible, please at least create a loadbalancer that has IPv4 and IPv6.

It Is Time to Ban the Sale of Precise GeolocationA recent deep dive into the American adtech surveillance system Webloc highlights the national security and privacy risks of pervasive and easily obtainable geolocation data.

It brings home, once again, that the U.S. needs to clamp down on the collection and sale of geolocation data.

But the point is that mobile geolocation data is available and can be used for intelligence purposes by organizations globally.

It needs to clamp down on the creation and sale of geolocation data itself.

Just this week, the state of Virginia enacted a ban on the sale of customers' precise geolocation data.

Today, we’re launching Claude Design, a new Anthropic Labs product that lets you collaborate with Claude to create polished visual work like designs, prototypes, slides, one-pagers, and more.

Claude Design is powered by our most capable vision model, Claude Opus 4.7, and is available in research preview for Claude Pro, Max, Team, and Enterprise subscribers.

Claude Design gives designers room to explore widely and everyone else a way to produce visual work.

Our most complex pages, which took 20+ prompts to recreate in other tools, only required 2 prompts in Claude Design.

Claude Design has made prototyping dramatically faster for our team, enabling live design during conversations.

SSL certificates were handled by rsyncing the entire /etc/letsencrypt/ directory from the old server to the new one.

Phase 3 — MySQL master to slave replication Rather than taking the database offline for a dump-and-restore, we set up live replication.

DNS Preparation⌗All domains were managed through DigitalOcean DNS (with nameservers pointed from GoDaddy).

Old server: nginx -t && systemctl reload nginx (proxy goes live) 6.

One Last Thing After Cutover⌗After migration, we discovered many GitLab project webhooks were still pointing to the old server IP.

This is the main difference between partial and total orders — partial orders cannot provide us with a definite answer of the question who is better than who.

But numbers can also form a partial order, for example they form a partial order if we order them by which divides which, i.e.

So every lattice is also partial order, but not every partial order is a lattice (we will see even more members of this hierarchy).

(or that $a ≤ b ⟺ b ≰ a$).

Partial orders and total orders as categoriesWe said that partial orders and total orders are preorders.

Like most Western countries, Japan nationalized its railways in the early twentieth century, creating what became known as Japanese National Railways (JNR).

But it did not nationalize all of the lines, focusing only on mainline railways of national importance, and new private railways were still permitted.

These are collectively known as the Japan Railways Group (JR).

Japan has partly solved this problem by enabling railway companies to do a great deal beside running railways.

Although Japanese railways do not receive subsidies for day-to-day operations, they do receive government loans and grants for capital investments.

Convert browser automation to network requestsWe have a browser script at ./integration.ts that automates going to Hacker News and getting the first 10 posts.

Fix broken integrationsWe have a browser script at ./integration.ts that is supposed to go to Availity and perform an eligibility check for a patient.

Use the Libretto skill.

Much of the bullshit future is already here, and I am profoundly tired of it.

LLM scrapers take down the web sites I run and make it harder to access the services I rely on.

I imagine going to school to become an architect, just to watch ML eat that field too.

If you work at Anthropic, xAI, etc., you should think seriously about your role in making the future.

I don’t think this will stop ML from advancing altogether: there are still lots of people who want to make it happen.

Cloudflare Email Service is that piece.

export default { async fetch(request, env, ctx) { await env.EMAIL.send({ to: "[email protected]", from: "[email protected]", subject: "Your order has shipped", text: "Your order #1234 has shipped and is on its way."

The address-based resolver routes [email protected] to a "support" agent instance, [email protected] to a "sales" instance, and so on.

Fork it, extend it, use it as a starting point for your own email agents that fit your workflows.

With Email Sending now in public beta, Cloudflare Email Service becomes a complete platform for bidirectional communication, making the inbox a first-class interface for your agents.

So, when a screenshot or copy-pasted block of “Here’s what Claude said…” comes across my screen… I don’t care about the screenshot.

I don’t care about the screenshot because I want your thoughts, not Claude’s.

Instead of a screenshot of a reply, I’d rather have the original prompt so I can just ask the machine myself.

I’d rather have a human-to-human conversation with you, not a chat with Claude by proxy.

What Claude said is an okay chunk of “anecdata”, but it’s not a substitute for our working relationship.

Laptops come in a variety of different form factors these days, with manufacturers playing into the different categories to develop an intended use case.

2-in-1 laptops come with touchscreens that allow for use as a tablet.

Business laptopsDesigned for the office, these laptops often come with more RAM and local storage, but less powerful GPUs.

Our favorite Chromebook is the Lenovo Chromebook Plus 14, a strong competitor to the MacBook Neo for its gorgeous display, nice speakers, snappy performance and marathon battery.

Other solid options include the Samsung Galaxy Chromebook Plus, and the Acer Chromebook Plus 516 GE -- a good cloud gaming pick.

In the memo, von Ahn announced that the language-learning platform would track employees' AI use in performance reviews. Now, a year later, von Ahn is backtracking and rethinking how he measures employee performance. He told the Silicon Valley Girl podcast earlier this month that Duolingo no longer considers AI use in performance…

After Artemis II's astronauts returned to earth, "NASA has Artemis III in its sights," reports the Associated Press: In a mission recently added to the docket for next year, Artemis III's yet-to-be -named astronauts will practice docking their Orion capsule with a lunar lander or two in orbit around Earth. Elon Musk's SpaceX and Jeff Bezos' Blue Origin are racing to have their company's lander ready first.

"A trailer has been released for the first film to star an authorised generative AI version of a major Hollywood actor," writes The Guardian: Val Kilmer was cast in western As Deep As the Grave before his death in April 2025.

Slashdot reader Bismillah shared this report from ITNews: Research and development engineer Romain Marchand of Paris headquartered Quarkslab obtained a telematic control unit (TCU) from a salvage yard in Poland... Marchand tore down the TCU, which is based on a Qualcomm system on a chip, and extracted the Linux-based file system from the Micron multi-chip package (MCP) which contained NAND-based non-volatile storage memory. The non-volatile storage contained sensitive information, including system configuration data and more importantly, logs that revealed the vehicle's GPS positions over time. None of that information was encrypted, Marchand told iTnews, which made it possible to collect a…

"From 2008 to 2024, the number of four-year computer science degrees granted rose about fivefold..." reports the Washington Post. Then in 2025 CS suddenly dropped from the fourth-largest undergraduate major to sixth, they report (citing data from the nonprofit National Student Clearinghouse, which compiles numbers from 97% of U.S. universities. The 54,000-student drop was "the biggest one-year drop of any major discipline going back to at least 2020." But what major are they choosing instead? Sarah Karamarkovich, a research associate with the National Student Clearinghouse, pointed to an explanation from the data that we had overlooked.

Yesterday the U.S. Congress approved "a short-term extension" of a FISA law that allows wiretaps without a warrant for surveilling foreign targets, reports CNN — but only until April 30. Republican congressional leaders had sought an 18-month extension, but "failed to secure" the votes after "clamoring from some of their members for reforms to protect Americans' privacy." The warrantless surveillance law, known as Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, was set to expire on Monday night. Members are hoping the additional time will allow them to come to agreement without ending authorization for the intelligence gathering program, which permits US officials to monitor phone…

Slashdot reader smazsyr writes: A new review says we've had fructose wrong for decades. The nine authors, led by Richard Johnson at the University of Colorado Anschutz, argue that fructose "is not just another calorie." It is a signal. It tells the liver to make fat and brace for a famine that never comes. That made sense for a bear fattening up on autumn berries. It makes less sense for a person drinking soda in March. The review reframes the WHO's sugar guideline, argues ScienceBlog.com, as "less a recommendation about calories and more a warning about a signalling molecule we have been dosing ourselves with, several times a day, for most of a century."

The breach pierced the education technology company PowerSchool — used by 80% of school districts in North America... [and operating in about 90 countries around the world]. With threats to expose social security numbers, dat…

Nextcloud joined a project to create a sovereign replacement for Microsoft Office called "Euro-Office". But after that project forked OnlyOffice, OnlyOffice suspended its partnership with Nextcloud. "They removed all references to our brand/attribute as required by our license," argued OnlyOffice CEO Lev Bannov on March 30th. ("The core issue here isn't just about what the AGPL license states, but about the additional provisions we, as the authors, have included... If the Euro-Office team believes our approach conflicts with the AGPLv3 license, we invite them to submit an official request to FSF for review.")

Friday Anthropic's CEO met with top U.S. officials and "discussed opportunities for collaboration," according to a White House spokesperson itedd by Politico, "as well as shared approaches and protocols to address the challenges associated with scaling this technology." CNN notes the meeting happens at the same time Anthropic "battles the Trump administration in court for blacklisting its Claude AI model..." The meeting took place as the US government is trying to balance its hardline approach to Anthropic with the national security implications of turning its back on the company's breakthrough technology — including its Mythos tool that can identify cybersecurity threats but also present a…

Some failed startups are reportedly selling old Slack messages, emails, and other internal records to AI companies as training data, creating a new way to cash out after shutting down. Fast Company reports: Shanna Johnson, the CEO of now-defunct software company Cielo24, told the publication that she was able to sell every Slack message, internal email, and Jira ticket as training data for "hundreds of thousands of dollars." This isn't a one-off scenario. SimpleClosure, a startup that helps companies like Cielo24 shut down, told Forbes that there's been major interest from AI companies trying to get their hands on workplace data. Because of this, SimpleClosure launched a new tool that allow…

NASA has revived support for the European Space Agency's long-delayed Rosalind Franklin Mars rover mission. According to the space agency, the current plan is to launch via a SpaceX Falcon Heavy no earlier than 2028.

Я говорю не про конкретные ии-фичи, не про пресловутого бота, который отвечает мимо и невпопад, а скорее про общее ощущение от продуктов. Я говорю про по сути набор нефункциональных требований, касающихся ИИ, которые могут быть применимы ко всем нашим продуктам. Как сделать продукт, который: будет актуальным в сред…

Apple has survived 50 years by being the only company integrating hardware and software; if the company loses because of AI it will be because the point of integration changes.

Human.json is a new

idea for asserting that a site is authored by a person, and for vouching for

other sites’ authorship. I’ve added one to this site.It’s a fun idea, and I’ve joined in, but to be honest, I have some concerns.

When I made my human.json file, I looked through my browser history, and saw a

number of sites that were clearly personal sites that I liked. But if I list

one, am I claiming to know that there is no AI content on that site? I can’t

know that for sure.I haven’t let this stop me from adding my own

/human.json, and I’ll be interested to see what

comes of it.Human.json isn’t a new idea. There have been a number of attempts to add

structured data to web pages:

Agents are fundamentally changing the shape of demand for compute, both in terms of how they work and in terms of who will use them. They're so compelling that I no longer believe we're in a bubble.

Anthropic is in a standoff with the Department of War; while the company's concerns are legitimate, it position is intolerable and misaligned with reality.

Pytest’s parametrize is a great feature for writing tests without repeating

yourself needlessly. (If you haven’t seen it before, read

Starting with pytest’s parametrize first).

When the data gets complex, it can help to use functions to build the

data parameters.I’ve been working on a project

involving multi-line data, and the parameterized test data was getting

awkward to create and maintain. I created helper functions to make it nicer.

The actual project is a bit gnarly, so I’ll use a simpler example to

demonstrate.Here’s a function that takes a multi-line string and returns two numbers,

the lengths of the shortest and longest non-blank lines:def non_blanks(text: str) -> tuple[int, int]: …

Thick clients were the dominant form of device throughout the PC and mobile era; in an AI world, however, thin clients make much more sense.

I have a new small project: edtext provides text

selection and manipulation functions inspired by the classic ed

text editor.I’ve long used cog to build documentation and HTML

presentations. Cog interpolates text from elsewhere, like source code or

execution output. Often I don’t want the full source file or all of the lines of

output. I want to be able to choose the lines, and sometimes I need to tweak the

lines with a regex to get the results I want.Long ago I wrote my own ad-hoc function to include a

file and over the years it had grown “organically”, to use a positive word. It

had become baroque and confusing. Worse, it still didn’t do all the things I

needed.The old function has 16 arg…

Microsoft got hammered on Wall Street for capacity allocation decisions that were the right ones: the software that wins will use AI to usurp other software.

Давным давно я как-то работал в Крупной Немецкой Компании. Хороший добротный IT-корпорат, всё как по книжке, со своими плюсами-минусами, многим такое нравится.

If hyperscalers and chip companies don't build up a TSMC competitor they are set to forego billions of dollars in revenue and stunt the AI revolution.

На пост меня натолкнула рабочая ситуация: Я написал (будем честны, попросил ллм написать) один скрипт, и некоторые коллеги прореагировали «о, давно о таком мечтаю». И у меня в голове щелкнуло.

Когда я сейчас написал про один промт, я не утрировал, это был реально один промт.

Сейчас простые задачи решаются ллмками достаточно хорошо. Ядро линукса они все еще не напишут, но пропарсить все ресурсные файлы проекта, сгруппировать одинаковые строчки и дать к ним мгновенный поиск — это задача на один промт. И все, что удерживает людей сейчас, от того, что некоторая часть их задач начнет быть проще — рефлексия. Все что нужно — остановиться, и заметить момент «ага, я тут хочу упрощение, которое возмо…

Two testing-related things I found recently.Unified exception testingKacper Borucki blogged about parameterizing exception

testing, and linked to pytest docs and a

StackOverflow answer with similar approaches.The common way to test exceptions is to use

pytest.raises as a context manager, and have

separate tests for the cases that succeed and those that fail. Instead, this

approach lets you unify them.I tweaked it to this, which I think reads nicely:from contextlib import nullcontext as produces import pytest

from pytest import raises @pytest.mark.parametrize( "example_input, result", [ (3, produces(2)), (2, produces(3)), (1, produces(6)), (0, raises(ZeroDivisionError)), ("Hello", raises(Typ…

Клод код (Claude Code) заботится обо мне и показывает команды на согласования, к сожалению, он делает это без уважения плохо.

Посмотрите на этот апрув: Выполняет трехстрочную шелл-команду с вложенными конструкциями: циклы, условия. Если там где-то будет какая-то ошибка, я её просто не замечу.

Я не специально выбирал, что скриншотить, они все такие: У меня остается два варианта: Как мартышка жать и жать на кнопку «Approve». В итоге вырабатывается привычка, которая не даст мне себя защититить в опасной ситуации. См. принцип «подтверждения не работают».

AI might replace all of the jobs; that's only a problem if you think that humans will care, but if they care, they will create new jobs.

This morning I shared a link to this site, and the recipient said, “it looks

like a file.” I thought they meant the page was all black and white with no

color. No, they were talking about the URL, which ended with “.html”.This site started almost 24 years ago as

a static site: a pile of .html files created on my machine and uploaded to the

server. The URLs naturally had .html extensions. It was common in web sites of

the time.Over the years, the technology has changed. In 2008, it was still a static

site on the host, but produced with

Django running locally. In 2021, it became a

real Django site on the host.Through all these changes, the URLs remained the same—they still had

the old-fashion…

In my last blog post (A testing conundrum), I described

trying to test my Hasher class which hashes nested data. I couldn’t get

Hypothesis to generate usable data for my test. I wanted to assert that two

equal data items would hash equally, but Hypothesis was finding pairs like

[0] and [False]. These are equal but hash differently because the

hash takes the types into account.In the blog post I said,If I had a schema for the data I would be comparing, I could use it to

steer Hypothesis to generate realistic data. But I don’t have that

schema...I don’t want a fixed schema for the data Hasher would accept, but tests to

The most popular and most important posts on Stratechery in 2025.

Update: I found a solution which I describe in

Generating data shapes with Hypothesis.In coverage.py, I have a class for computing the fingerprint of a data

structure. It’s used to avoid doing duplicate work when re-processing the same

data won’t add to the outcome. It’s designed to work for nested data, and to

canonicalize things like set ordering. The slightly simplified code looks like

this:class Hasher: """Hashes Python data for fingerprinting.""" def __init__(self) -> None: self.hash = hashlib.new("sha3_256") def update(self, v: Any) -> None: """Add `v` to the hash, recursively if needed.""" self.hash.update(str(type(v)).encode("utf-8")) match v: case None: pass case str(): self.hash.u…

I’ve been trying to stay consistent on Reddit while exploring Micro SaaS ideas, but one thing I’m still figuring out is the right level of activity. Post too little → no visibility Post too much → starts feeling forced (and risky) From what I’ve seen, the people who do well here aren’t posting aggressively. They’re just… present. Commenting where it makes sense, adding value, and occasionally sharing something thoughtful. I’ve personally tried being more active some days, but it quickly feels unnatural if there’s no real context to contribute. So now I’m leaning toward fewer, more relevant interactions instead of trying to “hit a number.” Curious how others approach this. Do you follow a da…
