I wrote a thing about figuring out the mapping between rust and assembly:

Have I mentioned that s-expressions are the best expressions lately?.

It's not about programming languages, I'm sure we've got enough blog posts in the world about that.

So I'm still not really sure about this one, but I wrote a post on the language that programmers use:

Just published a blog post on why I'm not as grumpy with the LMAX codebase as I think I could be:

Oh and hey, I get a permission denied page when I try to look at the slides you posted.

But if you've ever asked yourself "why's my JVM heap small, but it's memory usage huge?", the answer might be in that post.

There's some bits I missed in there, like the email that was sent around with a hexdump in it and the subject "Decode this". Which was a very successful nerd snipe.

Just released a blog post about a "fun" bug hunt my colleague @palmer went on: including a demo app so you can follow along at home.

I finally got @BuckBuildTool, SBE ( and @intellijidea to play nice together:

This one's sorta rambly I guess, but I wrote something about how the actual process of using the popcorn machine turned coffee roaster is turning out.

I've taken apart a popcorn machine to roast coffee, and you can too.

I wrote about how to get flamegraphs out of JMH benchmarks, the lazy way:

And does that mean they get a different name? Maple browns?.

Can I get syrup with hash browns?.

The amount of terrible airport food decisions I'm working on right now is disgusting.

It's 3am and we have to get to JFK and I can't even right now. What happens if I fall over when I have to take my shoes off?.

Was nicer than I expected it to be. The codebase is clean and well organized. Probably a great place to draw from if you're starting out.

Contributed to the codebase over the weekend. First serious exposure to component.

Summary: Most aspects of DI aren’t useful in Clojure. It can make testing easier, but isn’t necessary. Life-cycle mgmt is still important.
