   Yes! Bartosz Ciechanowski is a huge inspiration to me. This post was my first attempt to imbue some of his style into my writing. I'm not up to his standard by a long way, but I'm very happy with my results. :)

    This is very likely a bug in the simulation. My simplified implementation of PEWMA prioritises servers that have had no traffic, in order to send at least 1 request to all servers. There will be a window, until this new server serves its fi
