In trying to understand things - like the version control system Git - I like to compare it to something much more mundane and easy to understand. For instance, Git is like a book.

I wanted to implement concise “pattern matching” in Python, a language which unlike C#, F#, Scala, and so on, does not have any pattern matching built in. Logically a pattern is just a predicate: a function which takes a value … Continue reading →

I wanted to check if some services where running on a machine. The names of the services all start with integration@, e.g. integration@foobar. So to check for all the services, I simply ran systemctl status integration@* and it worked: ● integration@identity.service - integration App identity Loaded: loaded (/etc/systemd/system/integration@identity.service; enabled; vendor preset: disabled) Active: active (running) since Tue 2023-03-21....

I presented "Aiming for the Future" at Bangor University, exploring computing's evolution from the Difference Engine to the modern era, focusing on content/data delivery shifts. I proposed that Machine Learning, especially Generative AI, is the next major computing wave, akin to the Web's rise in the early 2000s, potentially mechanizing mental labor. The Student Expo showcased many final-year projects incorporating AI, from creative tools ..

Nowadays, GitHub Actions is one of the most popular free CI systems. It’s quite convenient to use it to run unit and integration tests. However, some developers try to use it to run benchmarks and performance tests. Unfortunately, default GitHub Actions build agents do not provide a consistent execution environment from the performance point of view. Therefore, performance measurements from different builds can not be compared. This makes..

UPDATE: chatgpt-shell has evolved a bit and is now on MELPA . I had been meaning to give ChatGPT a good try, preferably from Emacs. As an eshell fan, ChatGPT seemed like the perfect fit for a shell interface of sorts. With that in mind, I set out to wire ChatGPT with Emacs's general command interpreter ( comint ). I had no previous experience building anything comint-related, so I figured I could just take a peek at an existing c....

In Python you can create dataclasses with the wrong type. The type checker should show an error, but nothing prevents creating the object. This small function validates that each attribute is of the correct type by using the __annotations__ attribute of the dataclass. You can also create a base class to inherit from, but it won’t work if you override the __post_init__ method in the child classes. import dataclasses def val (....

At TigerBeetle these last few weeks I've been doing a mix of documenting client libraries, writing sample code for client libraries, and writing integration tests against the sample code. The client library documentation is generated with a Zig script. The sample code is integration tested with a Zig script. A bunch of Zig scripts. It's not the same rigorous sort of Zig as the main database. (We're generally more lax about scripts and....

John Carmack, while advising on the advent of AI and its influence on the Software Engineering profession: Software is just a tool to help accomplish something for people – many programmers never understood that. Keep your eyes on the delivered value, and don’t over-focus on the specifics of the tools. I have often fallen into the over-focusing trap in my career. The whole thread is well worth reading:

You don’t want rust in your android, but you might want Rust in your Android. Background I like Kotlin, and I’m very impressed with the content being written in Rust . I knew it should be possible to call Rust from my Android app. Because I love fighting with the compiler I wanted to see if I could get it working for fun. (I got it working!) I wrote this blog post so others could try it out, and so I could refer back when I try to do....

Introduction In episode 7, Miki discussed design considerations to keep in mind while creating interfaces in Go with the first idea he proposed being that an interface should represent what we need from a type, and not what is stored on the type. To add some clarity to this thought, Miki explained how the io.Reader and io.Writer interfaces each require one method to be implemented although the underlying concrete type may store more inform..

As part of my recent experiments with mmap 1 I have learned how to share data between processes using a memory-mapped file. Here I’ll show how to do it between two independent Python processes, but the same principles apply to any programming language. Create a file to store the data I will use the tempfile module so that the file gets deleted after the script finishes. I prefer using this when learning or testing new things, otherwise..
