At least 80% of the world lives under light-polluted skies
—a figure that rises to 99% in America and Europe.
A paper published in Science found that between 2011 and 2022 the night sky grew almost 10% brighter each year.
With so many places awash with artificial light, people are increasingly seeking out the darkness.

If Multicast is the Answer -- What was the Question?
Multicast is (almost) as old as the Internet, having become a tool for increasing network efficiency but also enabling destination discovery in a number of key use cases, although misaligned economic interests have limited its deployment to domain-local usages. But recent advances in multicast technologies as well as the identification of new use cases for which IP multicast may be ill fitted yet network-level support may be desirable motivate to re-think old perceptions of multicast and its us…

in 2022 I designed and built a 1:76th scale model of a shepherds hut that I had seen mentioned in a news story, found pictures of it on an auction site, drew it up as a buildable kit and cut it out with my laser. Having built it I then lost the files (my fault).
Today I re-found the pictures online and drew up the kit again, hopefully slightly improved. Here is the original model alongside the new kit of parts.
No AI was used in this process at all.

I've read the Sprawl Trilogy several times and watched the Blade Runner movies several times too. And I love them.
Yet, it's hard to be excited about these two projects because they are being produced as series by the usual culprits.

These are tricky times for Russian President Vladimir Putin.
The “special military operation” he launched against Ukraine in 2022,
intended to last a few days until a puppet regime in Kyiv could be installed,
has now gone on longer than both the Soviet fight against Nazi Germany and all of World War I.
His forces have long ceased making significant gains on the battlefield;
some data even suggest that Russian forces lost territory in April and May.
What …

As the Tide Turns Against Putin, Beware the Drowning Man
Like a struggling swimmer, he may take desperate measures to stay afloat.

VBR: version based reclamation.

VBR: Version Based Reclamation
Safe lock-free memory reclamation is a difficult problem. Existing solutions follow three basic methods (or their combinations): epoch based reclamation, hazard pointers, and optimistic reclamation. Epoch-based methods are fast, but do not guarantee lock-freedom. Hazard pointer solutions are lock-free but typically do not provide high performance. Optimistic methods are lock-free and fast, but previous optimistic methods did not go all the way. While reads were executed optimistically, writes w…
