Placeholder: delete this post
A worked example of the front matter this site expects.
This file exists to show the shape of a post. Delete it once you publish something real.
Front matter takes three keys. title is required. standfirst is the one-line
summary shown on the index and under the headline — optional, but the index
looks thin without it. date sets both the sort order and the URL.
The filename must be YYYY-MM-DD-slug.md and live in _posts/. The URL comes
out as /blog/2026/slug/.
Body is Markdown. Code fences get syntax highlighting:
def rtt_percentiles(samples, qs=(0.5, 0.95, 0.99)):
ordered = sorted(samples)
return {q: ordered[int(q * (len(ordered) - 1))] for q in qs}
Block quotes are set with an orange rule:
Everything that can be counted does not necessarily count.
That’s the whole system.
