How Reblogs Work

engineering: The reblog is a beautiful thing unique to Tumblr – often imitated, but never successfully reproduced elsewhere. The reblog puts someone else’s post on your own Tumblr blog, acting as a kind of signal boost, and also giving you the ability to add your own comment to it, which your followers and anyone looking at the post’s notes will see. Reblogs can also be reblogged themselves, creating awesome evolving reblog trails that are the source of so many memes we love. But what ...

The Tools of Angel Investing

Part of the annoying thing about angel investing is that you’re ostensibly investing in CUTTING EDGE FUTURE STARTUPS who are about to BRING THE FUTURE TO YOUR FACE and in order to do this you have to go through some of the worst software and processes on the goddamn planet: banks, and laws. Some cool stuff remains, though.

Efficient Data Logger Design

I claim it as an efficient data logger design that I used to build ReductStore. It has been battle-proven in production, but I never discussed the design with other database developers, so I would be happy to receive feedback and constructive criticism. submitted by /u/alexey_timin [link] [comments]

XcodeGen and the quest to modularize the Wealthfront iOS app

Every iOS application starts as a monolith. Xcode’s default project structure places all source files, resources, and build configuration into a single module (or target, for all the iOS devs reading this). For small apps, this works fine. For a 10+ year old financial application with roughly 2,000 Swift and a handful of Objective-C files,... Read more

Book: Burnout – The Secret to Unlocking the Stress Cycle

I first read Burnout – The Secret to Unlocking the Stress Cycle by Emily and Amelia Nagoski in May 2019. I was, at the time, pretty fried. I’d recently written The Cost of Fixing Things about three back-to-back team turnarounds – one of them with a fractured shoulder whilst buying and renovating a house. I’d […]

Making a New Plan

Once, I got an email. To paraphrase, it said: I ignored your recommendation, but new evidence arrived, and now I see that you were right. I won’t do that again. A rare enough thing that I can, years later, still quote it. Part of what made it so meaningful was this person didn’t have to […]

Europe’s extreme heat is shutting down power plants

Europe is in the middle of a record-breaking heat wave, and the grid is being pushed to its limits as people turn to fans and air-conditioning to try to stay cool. Some power plants won’t be online to help handle the load. On June 23, France saw its hottest day since record-keeping began in 1947.…

It’s been hot in London this week. Really hot. A dangerous heat wave has hit Western Europe. Yesterday, the UK recorded its highest ever June temperature at 36.1 °C (about 97 °F). But as the weather app on my phone confirmed, it felt like 39 °C. It’s frightening that we are seeing such temperatures in…
