MySQL is certainly a powerful open source database management system, but even the most robust engine struggles when queries take an eternity to execute. For DBAs and developers, improving MySQL query performance is an ongoing goal. Efficient query performance is crucial for ensuring the smooth operation and optimal user experience of applications powered by MySQL databases. When businesses rely h
On the origins of DS_store
arno.org If you are a Mac user, or if you have transferred files from Mac to Windows, you’re probably familiar with .DS_Store files. But where does this name come from? Back in 1999 I was the technical lead for the Mac OS X Finder at Apple. At that time the Finder code base was some 8 years old and had reached the end of its useful life. Making any changes to it require huge engineering effort, an

My Statement on President Biden’s Announcement | by Barack Obama | Jul, 2024 | Medium
Official White Photo by Adam SchultzJoe Biden has been one of America’s most consequential presidents, as well as a dear friend and partner to me. Today, we’ve also been reminded — again — that he’s a patriot of the highest order. Sixteen years ago, when I began my search for a vice president, I knew about Joe’s remarkable career in public service. But what I came to admire even more was his chara
SummaryMost visual programming environments fail to get any usage. Why? They try to replace code syntax and business logic but developers never try to visualize that. Instead, developers visualize state transitions, memory layouts, or network requests. In my opinion, those working on visual programming would be more likely to succeed if they started with aspects of software that developers already
Introduction At the time of writing, HTTP/3 is supported by 30.4% of the top 10 million websites. This market penetration is astounding, but it seems like all of this progress has been possible almost exclusively by work on browsers, load balancers and CDN providers. What about the backend? How’s HTTP/3 doing there? The answer, sadly, is not as incredible. Because of this, I have been very interes

New Recovery Tool to help with CrowdStrike issue impacting Windows endpoints
The Microsoft Recovery Tool was updated 7/22/2024 as version 3.1. While fundamentally there are no functional changes to the tool, for the Recover from WinPE option, we have expanded the logging, reattempt logic, and error handling. For the Recover from safe mode for USB delivery, we’ve added in better user awareness cues for when to run the repair command. 7/23/2024: Microsoft notes that CrowdStr
自分でも気付かぬうちに、スティーヴ・アルビニは私の人生を変えていた。彼の特定の作品との出会いによって啓示を受け、人生の中にそれ以前と以後という明確な境界線が引かれたということでは全くない。それよりも彼の影響は、私の育った音楽世界の土壌に染み込んでそれを肥沃にしたものであり、そうとは知らない私が無意識に歩き回った風景そのものだったのだ。ようやく獲得し得た視野と意識によって振り返ってみると、私が通ってきた世界のすべてに彼の手が及んでいたことを思い知らされる。 世代的なことも関係している。1962年生まれのアルビニは、ちょうど1980年代にジェネレーションXが成人し始めた頃の音楽シーンで地位を確立し、彼の音楽とアティチュードはその世代の心に響く多くの特徴を体現していたのだ。 彼の作品は挑戦的で、パンクが退屈さに怒りをぶつける方法をさらに推し進めたものだった。彼自身の初期のビッグ・ブラックやそれ以
Private Browsing 2.0
When we invented Private Browsing back in 2005, our aim was to provide users with an easy way to keep their browsing private from anyone who shared the same device. We created a mode where users do not leave any local, persistent traces of their browsing. Eventually all other browsers shipped the same feature. At times, this is called “ephemeral browsing.” We baked in cross-site tracking preventio
How to review code effectively: A GitHub staff engineer’s philosophy
As a staff engineer at GitHub, code review is one of my main focus areas in my day to day work. Over the past eight years, I’ve reviewed more than 7,000 pull requests. Why so many? Because code review is crucial to building good software and another set of eyes can often spot issues you would have otherwise missed. I see code review as one of the most important aspects of my job. In fact, whenever
Beating the compiler
In modern times, everyone knows that writing assembly is a fool's errand: compilers are the result of literal engineer-centuries of work, and they know the processor much better than you do. And yet – one hears rumors. Written in ancient tomes, muttered in quiet watering holes, scrawled on the walls of bygone temples, hinted at by mysterious texts; the rumors paint a specific picture: Compilers ar

A Git story: Not so fun this time | Brachiosoft Blog
Linus Torvalds once wrote in a book that he created Linux just for fun, but it ended up sparking a revolution. Git, his second major creation, also an accidental revolution. It’s now a standard tool for software engineers, but its origin story wasn’t so much fun this time, at least for Linus. Linus doesn’t scale 1998 was a big year for Linux. Major companies like Sun, IBM, and Oracle started getti
If you ever tried to learn guitar, chances are you are familiar with guitar tablatures. It is a simple way to visualize music for guitar, using ASCII characters to represent strings and frets as an alternative to sheet music. For instance, here are the first four measures of the song "Smoke on the Water" by Deep Purple: e|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------| B|-
Competitiveness is a vice of mine. When I heard that a friend got Linux to boot off of NFS, I had to one-up her. I had to prove that I could create something harder, something better, faster, stronger. Like all good projects, this began with an Idea. My mind reached out and grabbed wispy tendrils from the æther, forcing the disparate concepts to coalesce. The Mass gained weight in my hands, and a
What the New York Times Missed: 71 More of the Best Books of the 21st Century
What the New York Times Missed: 71 More of the Best Books of the 21st Century Last week, The New York Times Book Review published a list of the “100 Best Books of the 21st Century.” (Well, so far, obviously. Why not just call it the best books of the last 25 years? Do they know something we don’t? Oh well.) To put it together, the Book Review surveyed “hundreds of novelists, nonfiction writers, ac
Duo euthanasia: Why a happily married couple decided to die together
Jan and Els were married for almost five decades. In early June, they died together after being given lethal medication by two doctors. In the Netherlands, this is known as duo-euthanasia. It’s legal, and it’s rare - but every year, more Dutch couples choose to end their lives this way. Three days before they voluntarily take their last breath, Jan and Els’ campervan sits on a sunlit marina in Fri

If someone was making a list of the most important American companies today, it’s unlikely AT&T would be anywhere near the top. It’s large, but not notably so: it came in 32nd in the 2024 Fortune 500 ranking, just above Comcast and below Verizon. Its offerings are not unique: it’s just one of many companies providing phone, internet, and other communication services. By market cap, AT&T is less th
This blog post is adapted from a talk that Adam Hess and I gave at RubyKaigi 2024. Until recently, Ruby lacked a mechanism for detecting native-level memory leaks from within Ruby and native gems. This was because, when Ruby terminates, it does not free the objects that are still alive or the memory used by Ruby’s virtual machine. This is because the system will reclaim all the memory used anyway,

PySkyWiFi: completely free, unbelievably stupid wi-fi on long-haul flights | Robert Heaton
The plane reached 10,000ft. I took out my laptop, planning to peruse the internet and maybe do a little work if I got really desperate. I connected to the in-flight wi-fi and opened my browser. The network login page demanded credit card details. I fumbled for my card, which I eventually discovered had hidden itself inside my passport. As I searched I noticed that the login page was encouraging me

This post could’ve been titled “Nostr vs ATProto”, but that really isn’t what I wanted to do here. While I will be comparing and contrasting them a lot, and that’s kind of even the point of writing this, I didn’t want to really pit the two against each other at all, and especially not with the title. I also want to try avoiding commenting on the differences between the communities that have formed

Properly Testing Concurrent Data Structures Jul 5, 2024 There’s a fascinating Rust library, loom, which can be used to thoroughly test lock-free data structures. I always wanted to learn how it works. I still do! But recently I accidentally implemented a small toy which, I think, contains some of the loom’s ideas, and it seems worthwhile to write about that. The goal here isn’t to teach you what y
An Introduction to Asynchronous Programming in Rust and a High-level Overview of Tokio's Architecture
An Introduction to Asynchronous Programming in Rust and a High-level Overview of Tokio's Architecture Asynchronous programming allows the development of services that can handle millions of requests without saturating memory and CPU utilization. Support for asynchrony is usually baked into the programming language; we take a look at async support in Rust, a type-safe and memory-safe systems progra
Exploring biphasic programming: a new approach in language design
I’ve noticed a small but interesting trend in the programming languages space. I’m not sure how novel it is, but this pattern, which I’ll refer to as “biphasic programming,” is characterized by languages and frameworks that enable identical syntax to express computations executed in two distinct phases or environments while maintaining consistent behavior (i.e., semantics) across phases. These pha
Python is a wonderful programming language. I’ve used it to build webapps, deep learning models, games, and do numerical computation. However there is one aspect of Python that has been an inexcusable pain-in-the ass over many years. That would be the fragmented Python package and environment management ecosystem, succinctly represented by the following XKCD comic: You see, a lot of other programm
Where Should Visual Programming Go? There’s a wonderful article by Sebastian Bensusan: “We need visual programming. No, not like that.” (the dot is part of the title ¯\_(ツ)_/¯). In it, Sebastian argues that we shouldn’t try to replace all code with visual programming but instead only add graphics where it makes sense: Most visual programming environments fail to get any usage. Why? They try to rep
