Over the last 10 years, I’ve built several distributed systems on top of object storage, with WarpStream being the most recent. One consistent factor across all of these systems is how much time we spent solving what seems like a relatively straightforward problem: removing files from object storage that had been lo...

It is by now well known that YAML has a Norway problem, where the country code NO is interpreted as boolean false. But did you know about YAML's related implicit conversion of numbers footgun? Take this list of hex strings: [1810, 1910, 1a10, 1b10]. Parse it with a YAML parser, e.g. Clojure's clj-yaml1's parse-strin...

Lisp programs don't have parentheses — they are made of nested linked lists. The parentheses only exist in the printed representation — the ASCII serialization — of a Lisp program. They tell the Lisp reader where the nested lists begin and end. Parenthesis are the contour lines in the topographic map of your Lisp pr...
