Tailscale Peer Relays is now generally available

tailscale-peer-relays-is-now-generally-available

When Tailscale works best, it feels effortless, almost boring. Devices connect directly, packets take the shortest possible path, and performance ceases to be a pressing concern. But real-world networks aren’t always that cooperative. Firewalls, NATs, and cloud networking constraints can block direct peer-to-peer connections. When that happens, Tailscale relies on relays (DERP) to keep traffic […]

Cistercian Numbers

The Cistercian Number System was devised by Cisterican monks in the early 13th century as a compact way to write numbers. Using these numerals any number from 1 to 9,999 can be written in a single glyph by combining the basic elements together on a vertical line. They were apparently based on a numeral system […]

Why AI Velocity Is Becoming a Debt Accelerator

I’ll start with some more tidbits from the Thoughtworks Future of Software Development Retreat  ❄                ❄ We were tired after the event, but our marketing folks forced Rachel Laycock and I to do a quick video. We’re often asked if this event was about creating some kind of new manifesto for AI-enabled development, akin to the […]

Garment Notation Language: Formal descriptive language for clothing construction

A formal descriptive language for clothing construction. Try the live viewer Dance has Labanotation. Music has staff notation. Architecture has plan/section/elevation conventions. GNL brings the same rigor to garments — a generative descriptive language where a valid expression is sufficient to construct a garment without ambiguity. Core Concepts Body-anchored — the body is the coordinate […]

Whitby at night, John Atkinson Grimshaw (1836–1893) A man takes a train from London to the coast. He’s visiting a town called Wulfleet. It’s small and old, the kind of place with a pub that’s been pouring pints since the Battle of Bosworth Field. He’s going to write about it for his blog. He’s excited. […]

AVX2 is slower than SSE2-4.x under Windows ARM emulation

avx2-is-slower-than-sse2-4.x-under-windows-arm-emulation

If you compile your app for AVX2 and it runs on Windows ARM under Prism emulation, is it faster or slower than compiling for SSE2-4.x? I assumed it would be roughly the same — maybe slightly slower due to emulation overhead, but AVX2’s wider operations would compensate. The headline gives it away: I was wrong. […]
