Recently, I listened to an interview with Haroon Meer, the founder of a company focused on honeypots. Honeypots (also known as canaries or tripwires) are used to detect network intrusions and people nosing around at things they're not supposed to. They are an essential component...

Looping Through Jekyll Collections 2022-08-12 I recently needed to add a couple new items to my wife’s personal recipe website (cookingwith.casa) which I hadn’t touched in quite a while. The Jekyll build still worked fine, but I realized I was statically adding each collection by...

I restyled my Mastodon instance

from Eric Bailey [alt+shift+b] in programming

More than one thing can be true at the same time. For this post, it’s that: Have recently felt a lack of control in many of aspects of my life, I’m still technically a designer, and that I like CSS a lot. Because of this, I’ve found a new worry stone: my Mastodon...

Network Latencies in the Data Center

from Evan Jones - Software Engineer | Computer Scientist [alt+shift+b] in programming

over a year ago
Jeff Dean used to do a talk that included "Numbers Everyone Should Know" (2007 at Stanford, 2009 at LADIS), which included "round trip within same data center" as 500 us. I was recently wondering if that is still true, and more importantly what does the distribution of latencies...

JSNES: a Nintendo emulator built in JavaScript

from A Beautiful Site [alt+shift+b] in programming

over a year ago
I remember, not too long ago, arguing with people who said that JavaScript would never be as good as Flash. Granted, at the time many people were afraid of JavaScript and, thus, it wasn't used as widely as it is today. With the introduction of popular libraries such as jQuery,...

When Google killed Google Reader, the bloggosphere took a severe hit and the content quality went down because there weren't enough readers to justify the effort it takes to maintain a high quality blog.

What's left is a decaying wasteland of blogs, most abandoned, a lot are now SEO spam, and 99% are not worth reading. BoredReading is a way to read the remaining great blogs that survived the ice age.

To add your favorite blog, please suggest it here! I get emails every day which helps me maintain a high quality selection of blogs!
