I was a guest on the Heavy Networking podcast, talking about routing performance and the recent improvements to the shortest path algorithm. A fun discussion for me at least packetpushers.net/podcasts/hea

HN825: Faster Than Dijkstra? Exploring a New Shortest-Path Algorithm with Bruce Davie | Packet Pushers
Dijkstra’s algorithm is the foundation of shortest path calculations for link state routing protocols. But researchers have developed a new algorithm that improves on this decades-old approach. Today's Heavy Networking welcomes Dr. Bruce Davie to discuss the potential of this new algorithm to unseat Dijkstra. After thoughtful consideration, and consultation with others, his opinion is it won't. He walks us through why.

Over the holidays last last year I was building an Airfix model (good way to ignore the outside world) and discovered two pieces had fallen off the sprues and were not in the box. I considered constructing them myself but I didn't have a good reference image to go by. 99% certain it wasn't my fault, I looked up how to contact Airfix, followed the instructions, and never heard back.
Until Friday, when two tiny pieces of plastic arrived in an adorable little pouch and the modelmaking can continue.
I love good customer service. I just love it.

I have no idea what #musk has been huffing but clearly no one is willing to tell him no. #spacex have developed a really cool re-usable launch system but it seems like hubris to claim managing data centres in space gives you some sort of competitive advantage. Aside from making hardware swaps impossible…

I couldn't care less about a bunch of rich people in Brooklyn, I just read the article for the delicious drama. However, about halfway through the article, I started to see so many #FreeSoftware parallels.
1) Volunteers spend countless unpaid hours creating/maintaining something to better their community.
2) For-profit business packages it up as part of their offering.

"I've lived in the neighborhood since November 2020, we bought a house," Ria Harracksingh, an Elite Minds parent and the school's director of operations, told Hell Gate. "So, when the garden started to really just be stonewalling us, it became not about the kids. For me, it became about, 'Hey, I pay a ton of property taxes. We pay a ton of income tax there. These dollars are going to this garden that won't even let me access it as an individual!' So it became pretty personal on that front, too."
"I think from their perspective, making noise and contacting everybody they can about this is going to speed things up," Jonathan Stead, the garden's community partnership coordinator, said. "If anything, it slowed things down because our limited time has gone to responding to them, responding to GreenThumb about accusations that they're making about us, and discussing the Post story. This is all time that we could have devoted to try and get this done." "At the beginning, we didn't even see…
"It wasn't an option for us to continue the status quo, which was, I guess, [Elite Minds teachers] had a key and would come and go as they pleased," he said. "For organizations, it's a separate process, and it's not something community gardens have to do, but we chose to do it. It's been an enormous amount of work to try to get the process put together." Stead told Hell Gate that Urban Meadow and GreenThumb have been trading a draft of the new policy back and forth, but that due to time constra…
"Misconceptions about what community gardens even are, fundamentally, are pretty rampant," Roopa Kalyanaraman Marcello, another Urban Meadow coordinator, mused. "People just don't know that community gardens are not parks. They are very different from a New York City park. When I'm in Urban Meadow, the playground is right next door, and I see the lovely Parks Department folks in there cleaning up, taking the trash out. And I'm just like, 'I wish you would come in here and do that!' But no one h…

More than a month into a war that he insists will come to an end within two or three weeks,
Trump has put himself in a strategic box from which he is finding no easy exit.
Talks with Iran about a deal to end the conflict, to the degree they are substantive, have so far shown little promise.

If you have two PRs with the same code what are the reasons you would reject one but allow the other? (other then you wouldn't merge the same code twice)
