This week has been about RocksDB, emoji prompts, managing Python, querying binary files, prompt engineering and a tutorial on TLS.
# How RocksDB works
An article on how RocksDB implements its Log-structured merge-tree.
# Prompt Engineering vs. Blind Prompting
An article on the basics of prompt engineering and how to approach learning it.
# Rye
An experimental tool for managing Python projects written in Rust. Good to see it avoids relying on the default system Python which is usually a mess. Python Standalone Builds is an interesting project to generate highly redistributable Python builds.
# Emojiton
A service that translates prompts to emojis.
# fq
A command-line interface tool for querying binary files. Designed to feel simlar to jq.
# See this page fetch itself, byte by byte, over TLS
An interactive tutorial to see what happens in a TLS exchange, step by step.
