I generally find the Cloudflare blog posts interesting and entertaining but this one seems more suitable for a personal blog.

Wholly agreed. It seems like the bar of a quality post was lowered significantly for the CTO...

Oh man. Take a chill pill. We've got a ton more meaty posts coming, just skip this light one, have a good Saturday. We've got "comparison of different ARM processors", "detailed look at how executables work", "benefits of stale DNS with Consul", an analyst report and a series on designing our Teams product.

Can't wait? Read this instead: https://blog.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-workers-now-support-c...

I actually wrote that post because the internal blog pipeline at Cloudflare had dried up. By posting it and cajoling people I managed to get a whole load of posts to appear (I bet some of those people were thinking "I can do better than THAT!")

Well, I for one enjoyed it.

This problem has a name actually - there’s a solution called Bjorklund’s algorithm which was originally used in physics. It was picked up by a music researcher (Godfried Toussaint) who noticed that it generates satisfying rhythms too. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euclidean_rhythm I implemented it myself for Sonic Pi as the spread function.
