Grokking Hash Array Mapped Tries (HAMTs)
2024-12-03
Prior to understanding HAMTs, you’ll need to understand how hash tables and tries work. I already made a basic intro to hash tables which you can access here:
Introduction to Hash Tables
A great introduction and overview of what tries are is provided below:
A Hash Array Mapped Trie (HAMT) is a data structure that combines the benefits of hash tables and tries to efficiently store and retrieve key-value pairs. It is commonly used in computer science to implement associative arrays or dictionaries.
I’ve long been interested in short stories as underlying IP.

Growing mushrooms on our lawn
2024-12-03
Last summer, as we were killing off the grass in our front lawn to create an edible meadow, a friend gave us a gift for the new ecosystem we were coaxing into being. Kevin had bought some wine cap mushroom spawn — more than he could possibly use on his own lawn — and offered us the remaining half of the bag.
Just before we shoveled wood chips over the layers of cardboard and compost we had laid down, I scattered flecks of inoculated sawdust along the shady north side of the house.

2024-12-03
Today I ventured out east on Greenwich road to Oak and Pie, a restaurant known for its wine and pizza. However, that’s not what brought me in today. I mean don’t get me wrong, I definitely indulged in a slice but after seeing an ad for their Italian nachos my mission was dead set on trying them.
Before ordering I noticed that they had several specials throughout the week. Tuesday being discounted Italian nachos which we were just a day too late for but fortunate that on Wednesday, kids eat free!

Working fourteen hours on the line, day after day, in the best restaurant in America, where the head chef Charlie Trotter was sometimes as mercurial as Terence Fletcher, the drum teacher from the movie Whiplash, was as demanding as any restaurant cooking job in America.
Chef Giuseppe Tentori, of GT Prime, would never say that. In fact when I asked him about those long hours, he didn’t complain. Rather he immediately said, “It was exactly what I signed up for.
When French people bake at home, it’s generally a humble affair, and usually they make something as simple as a Yogurt Cake or a fruit tart, made even easier with store-bought pâte brisée (pastry), which is sold in rolls and commonly used in France. It’s not that French people don’t like to bake, it’s just that with so many bakeries nearby, people often leave it to the pros. (And in Paris, kitchens are so compact that rolling out dough is a challenge.
