  1. YSTP: Cloudflare Workers and Durable Objects tutorial (Pt. 1)

    This Christmas I was thinking on revisiting a Rust port of croc I wrote some years ago to teach myself the language but ended up doing something different.

    I had just been introduced to Cloudflare’s Durable Objects and thought of porting the port and check how hard it would be to build the same thing on the Cloudflare stack.

    It proved to be incredibly educational and quite fun so I ended up using it in an introductory talk for the stack.

  1. Eigendecomposition

    Mathematics textbooks will sometimes explain structures and concepts in terms of formulas and how to compute them, instead of an explanation that aims to yield intuitive understanding. Especially, since they do require a solid foundation.

    I suggest any reader that finds themselves aware of this situation, always stop and ponder on each subject to really grasp what it means. Feel free to access other resources to see the matter from different perspectives.
