Notes for the Weeks #11—12 (2026) This week note covers the weeks of 9th–22nd March. ## Life# I skipped writing the week note last week because I got too lazy after being caught up in things I’ve been doing. So I’m writing this one to cover both weeks. Life has been hectic but good. All the usual activities continue, with some new things added. I went for a short run last week after a gap of almost 11 months. It was only 2km but it felt great to get started again. My stamina is gone completely, and I feel like I’m starting from scratch. Regardless, I’m happy to be in right mindset and health to be able to start running again. After some hesitation, I bought an entry in the Jatre run for a 5km race. I signed up for a Garmin coaching plan to prepare. Hopefully it’ll not be too much for me. Later in the year, I want to start going for 10km races again. We had some holidays last week on occasion of Ugadi and Eid. A really wanted to go to a mall (I guess A’s school taught about what malls are), so we went to a nearby one on Ugadi. It was fun to see A running around excited. Weird weather all around last week. We had a sudden cold day and hailstorm between the usual hot summer days. I heard some parts of the country experienced unexpected dust storms. This upsets me a lot. **Current daily average steps per month** : 10106 ## Personal Projects# I finally got long stretches of time to start working on my new project: writing a Co to JavaScript compiler. I got a rudimentary compiler working for a subset of Co features. Before writing the compiler, I actually reverse-engineered the Co interpreter and wrote a spec and tests so that I can make sure that the compiler works exactly same as the interpreter. My friend Steven had Claude code implement an interpreter from the spec and tests only. It took Claude only 15 minutes to do that! Well, I do my personal projects for my learning and practice, so I’m not going use LLMs to do them, but it’s amazing (and terrifying) to see what they can do now. ## IndieWebClub Bangalore# After a gap of two months, I went to an IWCB meetup yesterday. It was a tech session where all the attendants co-worked on their websites. The turnout was great, we almost ran out of seats (I expect a large digest in the upcoming newsletter). I met many interesting folks working on fun stuff. If you are interested in making your own website and/or blogging, I definitely recommend you attend one of these meetups. In the meetup, I worked on adding Fediverse support for the IWCB website using Bridgy Fed. It sort of works. But all blogroll posts are not showing up in the account somehow. I need to debug this. ## Watching# I paused watching everything and wife and I started One Piece on Netflix. Over the two weeks, we rewatched the season 1 and just now we got started with the second season. It is amazing and everyone should watch it. ## Interesting Internet Links# * Flame and Filament * A sufficiently detailed spec is code * Good Haskell Libraries That’s all for this week.

Notes for the Week #10 (2026) This week note covers the week of 2nd–8th March. ## Life# This is another late week note because I was quite overwhelmed to write one yesterday. Life has been hectic, tiring, fun, and anxiety inducing last week. Somehow we march on. I’ve made sleeping on time a priority and I’m getting a full 8.5 hours of sleep now. I’m waking up refreshed and not feeling sleepy during the days. I’ve also increased my walking pace and now I can walk 5km (3.2mi) in 55 minutes! Body has been a little sore, so I’m taking one rest day every week. I’ve started taking A to swimming classes now, so I get to spend few hours in the pool every week, and I really like it. I should definitely finish my swimming lessons some day soon. Holi was on last Wednesday. I took a day off from work and got A home early to celebrate. We (well, mostly A and my wife) played Holi with _pichkaris_ (water guns) and color. I took many photographs. A had a plenty of fun in the first proper Holi of her life. Later we had sweets and fried food to complete the celebrations. Summer is properly here with temperatures reaching 32°C (90°F). ACs are on now for a few hours each day. I hear that this year may be the hottest ever. **Current daily average steps per month** : 10745 ## Personal Projects# In the last week note, I mentioned that I optimized my website generator to reduce its memory use to 2GB. Last week I rescaled my VPS to 4GB RAM, thus saving me some money in server fees. I haven’t notices any issues with the new setup till now. I also deleted my Digital Ocean VPS backups, so I don’t need to pay them anymore. Last Thursday I enabled Cloudflare verification for few more countries for my website, and the traffic to my website dropped by more than half. It made me a little sad, but it’s better to know the truth that I’m not really popular, it’s just bad crawlers. 2025 had been a year of me tying some loose ends. I finished some programming projects, shipped improvements to my website that I’d been itching for, finished writing few blog series etc. Now the time is ripe to get started on new projects! Last week I started on one: writing a Co to JavaScript compiler (or transpiler as some may call it). I did the basic setup and got a pretty printer for Co working. Next is doing some analysis passes. I have some previous experience in writing such compilers so this is mostly about putting things together and testing it rigorously. Once I’m done, I’ll write posts about it to expand the series. ## Watching# I continued watching Lord of Mysteries, though it’s turning out to be pretty gory and is giving me weird nightmares. Frieren is coming along. Last few episodes have amped up the action. Wife and I carried on slowly watching Love Through a Prism. ## Interesting Internet Links# * Mary and Mary * Canonicalize Your Web Identity and Achieve Data Sovereignty with PESOS * Understanding Space Leaks From StateT That’s all for this week.

Notes for the Week #9 (2026) This week note covers the week of 23rd February–1st March. ## Life# This week has been a slow one. Not much to update on this time. Life is moving at usual pace; home-work-walk-build-watch-read. My sleep has improved but I’m still not waking up fully refreshed; at least I am able to drive now. I kept sneaking in walks here and there, even spent some time on a treadmill because the summer is here in Bangalore. I finished February with 10225 daily average steps, which is a tad bit better than January. With the heat increasing, I’ll have to spend more time walking on the treadmill. We got all the ACs serviced just in time. A and my wife made popsicles twice this week with fruit juices, which turned out to be absolutely delectable. Looking forward to more of those this summer. Holi is around the corner, and this year A is old enough to play with water. Got to get her a pichkari. ## Personal Projects# This week I worked on `feed-repeat`, the small tool I made to repeat the posts from my favourite feeds into new feeds so that I can reread them forever. I’m planning to open source it so I added a few features that I felt were missing, and refactored it a bit. In particular: * I added support for conditional feed fetches. * I added a parameter to tune the entry selection probability. I think it is in a good shape now for opening. I’ve been running it for myself for three months and it has been performing as expected. Rest of my free time was spent on an urgent issue. Turns out RAM is very expensive now, causing my VPS provider Hetzner to increase their prices. My VPS that hosts my website and a few more services mostly sits idle, so it doesn’t make sense for me to pay so much for it. The only reason I was using an 8GB server was because my website generator was too memory hungry. I wrote it in a time when memory was cheap but compute was expensive. So I cached the hell out of everything. This worked well for 5 or so years, but now that I have over hundred posts and memory is scarce, I decided to optimize. I moved many caches from memory to on-disk and trimmed down things that were cached. I batched some build targets together. I also reduced the build concurrency. Over 16 commits, I brought down the memory use from 7GB to 2GB. It can still be improved but this is good enough now that I can rescale the VPS to 4GB RAM, and save some bucks. Interestingly, this also cut down the run time by about 40%, even when running with 8 thread instead of 50. Turns out, if you reduce memory use, the program will run faster because the garbage collector does not have to work as hard. Here are details for the curious: Before run stats 157,185,195,096 bytes allocated in the heap 87,212,373,968 bytes copied during GC 2,097,087,272 bytes maximum residency (60 sample(s)) 213,954,456 bytes maximum slop 7071 MiB total memory in use (0 MiB lost due to fragmentation) Tot time (elapsed) Avg pause Max pause Gen 0 106 colls, 106 par 301.063s 5.451s 0.0514s 0.2627s Gen 1 60 colls, 59 par 78.511s 24.207s 0.4035s 1.4609s Parallel GC work balance: 93.98% (serial 0%, perfect 100%) TASKS: 216 (1 bound, 215 peak workers (215 total), using -N50) SPARKS: 0 (0 converted, 0 overflowed, 0 dud, 0 GC'd, 0 fizzled) INIT time 0.004s ( 0.003s elapsed) MUT time 0.000s (120.139s elapsed) GC time 379.574s ( 29.659s elapsed) EXIT time 0.181s ( 0.015s elapsed) Total time 200.424s (149.816s elapsed) Alloc rate 0 bytes per MUT second Productivity -89.5% of total user, 80.2% of total elapsed After run stats 86,561,960,248 bytes allocated in the heap 13,599,700,352 bytes copied during GC 885,401,912 bytes maximum residency (45 sample(s)) 71,571,144 bytes maximum slop 2015 MiB total memory in use (0 MiB lost due to fragmentation) Tot time (elapsed) Avg pause Max pause Gen 0 323 colls, 323 par 10.476s 3.928s 0.0122s 0.0667s Gen 1 45 colls, 44 par 8.457s 2.668s 0.0593s 0.2832s Parallel GC work balance: 82.49% (serial 0%, perfect 100%) TASKS: 34 (1 bound, 33 peak workers (33 total), using -N8) SPARKS: 0 (0 converted, 0 overflowed, 0 dud, 0 GC'd, 0 fizzled) INIT time 0.003s ( 0.003s elapsed) MUT time 60.034s ( 82.092s elapsed) GC time 18.933s ( 6.596s elapsed) EXIT time 0.032s ( 0.002s elapsed) Total time 79.003s ( 88.693s elapsed) Alloc rate 1,441,880,584 bytes per MUT second Productivity 76.0% of total user, 92.6% of total elapsed ## Reading & Watching# I’m slowly making headway in reading _Proto_. It’s not going as fast as I’d like but it’s better than nothing. Wife and I started watching Love Through a Prism and I stared watching Lord of Mysteries. Still unsure about both but let’s see. ## Social Media# I see that I’m almost at 1000 original posts on my microblog. I also crossed 500 followers on Mastodon. I posted a new photo that I took on the day of my wedding. I’m not passing much time on social media these days 🤷🏽‍♂️. ## Interesting Internet Links# * How far back in time can you understand English? * Four Kinds of Optimisation * 10 Commandments: Compiler in Haskell Edition That’s all for this week.

Notes for the Week #8 (2026) This week note covers the week of 16th–22nd February. Lake After Rain ## Life# Back-from-vacation week is never a great one. This week we struggled to settle back in our daily routines. Our sleep schedules were out of whack. I, in particular, slept pretty badly till Friday. Only yesterday I was able to sleep well. Being sleep deprived most days caused me to be working in a low-energy state, just getting the minimum done. I had to resort to take auto-rickshaws to pick up A from school as I didn’t feel like driving. I forced myself to go on walks to complete my steps. Somehow we all made it through the week. **Current average steps per month** : 10162 ## Writing# I’ve not written anything in the last one month except these week notes. Some ideas have been brewing in my head, but I’ve been too out of energy to write about them. Hopefully, things will improve. On the bright side, my note A Short Survey of Compiler Targets was published in the February issue of the PagedOut!. The process of writing, editing, and publication took three months. This issue is full of interesting articles. Go check them out! Or subscribe to the feed of individual articles (created by me). ## Personal Projects# ### stic.earth# I improved the RSS to newsletter automation I set up last week to support sending digest emails with multiple posts. Which I then used to … ### IndieWebClub Bangalore# … set up the weekly digest newsletter for IndieWebClub Bangalore. Subscribe to it to receive a digest of articles every Wednesday. I also got email working for the website. Now the admins can be reached by email. I wrote a simple Cloudflare email worker to forward all incoming mails to the admins’ personal addresses. It was hard to test and debug but I got it working in the end. Unfortunately, I missed attending the technical session of IWCB yesterday. If you are interested in creating and running a website of your own and are in Bangalore, I highly suggest attending one of these sessions. ## Watching# This week I watched The Residence with my wife. We seriously couldn’t stop watching it. Some people may find it too verbose but I like the rapidly-talking protagonist and the chain of mysteries. I also finished watching Tatsuki Fujimoto 17–26. It was exactly the kind of quirky anime I like. Too bad, most of the anime these days are drab Isekais. ## Interesting Internet Links# * Home-Cooked Software and Barefoot Developers * What is a build system, anyway? * Query-based compiler architectures That’s all for this week.

Notes for the Week #7 (2026) This week note covers the week of 9th–15th February. OUTSIDE ## Life# I was on vacation this week. We had been vacation-starved for last many years, so, now that we can, we are trying to fill the gap with consecutive vacations. However, I think there will be a while till I take the next vacation. A and I spent a lot of time in parks running around chasing squirrels, and just idly walking on grass. As a child I used to spend a lot of time on grass that grew pretty much everywhere not road or buildings, but we don’t see much of it anymore. Only parks in our neighbourhood have large grassy patches, but most of them prohibit walking on them. It’s a bit sad for me to see A preferring to sit on benches than grass. My wife is healthy again, though she has some leftover weakness from the antibiotics course. I’ve been finding it hard to take out time to go out for walks. I’m still trying to do enough to stay above 10k steps average per month, which is currently around 10180 steps for February. Summer is almost here in Bangalore. That means heat and sun and dust everywhere. It feels like this year will be really hot. Reminds me that I need to get the ACs serviced. ## Personal Projects# ### My New VPS# My new VPS setup is chugging along well. This week I fixed a minor bug in the backup script that was causing old Gitea dumps to be not deleted daily, leading to the backup increase in size over time. Other than that, I’ve not touched the setup, and I don’t have any current ideas or plans to do anything new. I’m just going to let it keep running. The Cloudflare proxy that I set up in front of my website couple of weeks ago is still blocking ~30000 attacks every day. I have no clue why the crawlers find my websites so lucrative, but I don’t intend to let them get to it. ### stic.earth# This week I finally spent some time working on the stic.earth infrastructure, the community hosting platform that I moonlight sysadmining for. The outgoing mails had been broken for months since our Sendgrid account died. I switched it over to use Mailgun, and now I’m getting the various notifications again. I used the momentum (and the free time) to set up Listmonk, a newsletter and mailing list manager for stic.earth members1. This had been number one feature request for quite some time by our members who have blogs and want to build a newsletter audience. I have been using Buttondown for my own website’s newsletter, and it has been really solid. But it’s expensive and not everyone is willing to pay to send their blog posts to thirteen subscribers. Thanks to open source software like Listmonk (and NixOS that we use to run our server), we can now host such services for our community at a minimal cost. I also adapted the listmonk-rss script to add automation for sending new mails by following the feeds of the blogs. I’m yet to switch over my website’s newsletter to Listmonk because I found some issues in my feeds. ### My Website# While testing the Listmonk mails using the feeds of my website, I found that sometimes the hero images (like you see at the top of this post) were shown twice in the emails. This sent me on a yak-shaving chase the resulted in: * Redoing the photo publishing pipeline of my website, moving it from thumbnail-plus, which uses the native GD Graphics Library and has not seen a release in the past 11 years, to JuicyPixels, which is pure Haskell and well maintained. * Adding progressively loaded hero images for my posts, which start with low-res images and are upgraded lazily to their high-res variants. It was harder than expected because my VPS does not have enough RAM to transcode hundred of images in parallel. The code worked on my laptop but was killed by the OOM-killer on the server. With some old-fashioned elbow grease, I figured it out in an hour. I also added two new features: * Nerd sniped by Jatan, I added a “On This Day” feature that shows posts published on same day in previous years on the homepage. It has not triggered yet because I have so few posts, but as I write more often, I expect it to be a useful and interesting feature. * I added support for scheduling posts to be published at a future time. I originally thought of this idea to publish my pre-written weeknotes automatically when I don’t have internet access to push the post files. It turned out to be pretty difficult because: 1. My post publish date format did not support specifying the time of day. 2. I use the Shake build system as the foundation of my static site generator, and build systems do not take time as an input when deciding what to build, only the files present. Since I’d pre-write and push the scheduled post to the repo, Shake would just not built the pages even after the post’s publish time came to pass. I tricked Shake by adding a file that tracks the posts scheduled in future, and making it a dependency. The file changes after the post’s publish time passes, causing a build to be triggered. If everything goes well, this very post should be published automatically 1½ hours after I push it. Fingers crossed! ## Watching# I’ve been watching Tatsuki Fujimoto 17–26, a series of anime shorts by Tatsuki Fujimoto, the creator of the popular Chainsaw Man anime/manga. It is really wacky and weird, sometimes a bit too much, and I’m loving it. Season 2 of Frieren is progressing slowly, as expected, and I’m here for it. ## Interesting Internet Links# * The only correct recipe for making chai * Stop generating, start thinking * Towards Fearless Macros That’s all for this week.

Notes for the Week #6 (2026) This week note covers the week of 2nd–8th February. Boat ## Life# My wife’s sickness continued into this week. The doctor did not prescribe antibiotics on the first visit last week, so we visited again this week and finally got prescribed some. I’m so thankful to scientists and medical professionals for inventing antibiotics. She is recovering well. The fatigue of illness kept us mostly doing bare minimum, no outings or events this week. I missed walking 10k steps a few days, and I had to walk 13–14k on few other days to compensate. My body has adjusted to this routine of exercise now. I’m hoping to move it up a notch in the upcoming weeks. The weather has been somewhat treacherous of late, with days reaching 30°C and nights at 15°C. The large variation has been the cause of the spreading viral sickness, or so our doctor told us. Houses in India do not have insulation, so we are layering up or down depending on the temperature. ## Work# Google renamed the ZetaSQL project to GoogleSQL last week. So now I’m working on GoogleSQL within-and-out Google. I need to do some configuration so that my name starts showing up in the commits in the Github repo. ## Personal Projects# I mentioned in my last week note that I moved my websites and services to a Hetzner VPS. After running it for a week, yesterday I shut down my Digital Ocean VPS for good after a run time of 12 years! This week I mostly worked on the IndieWebClub Bangalore website. I added: * a webring for the club members, * the member directory page, * light mode CSS styles, and * an ad-hoc build system to simplify and optimize the website build. Unfortunately, I’m missing today’s session. This is the second writing oriented session I’ve missed in a row, and I’m sad about it. ## Reading & Watching# I’ve made it through the first chapter of Proto by Laura Spinney despite being tired and distracted. I hope to finish it this month. Wife and I watched the entire season of the new Marvel TV show Wonder Man. It was refreshing to see a show not about superpowers (mostly), but instead focusing on characters’ lives and aspirations. I went in not knowing what to expect, and was pleasantly surprised to find it a drama-comedy. We need more Trevor in Marvel. ## Social Media# I literally did not post even a single thing on social media this week (not counting replies), so that’s new. ## Interesting Internet Links# * Breakfast dishes of Karnataka beyond Idli Vada Dosa * “Five-Point Haskell”: Total Depravity (and Defensive Typing) * What is the best pointer tagging method? That’s all for this week. You can subscribe to the feed of my week notes for updates. If you have any questions or comments, please leave a comment below. If you liked this post, please share it. Thanks for reading!
