I opened Tobias Pfeiffer’s article expecting something along the lines of Your configs suck? Try a real programming language. Tobias focused not on configuring the environment, though, but rather best practices for configuring the control flow in the program itself. “Early Validation” was a particularly good point. Tobias has some sound advice, most of which I incorporated into the dev projects I started during the shelter-in-place pe..

In this mini-series I will walk you through some habits I replaced in recent times, which have shown to pay off and make me a more productive programmer/power-user of my computer. All these changes should be easy to gradually adopt, so I would highly recommend checking them out. If you’ve any suggestions ☝️ or improvements ✍️, then email me at hi@aknapen.nl or reach out using any of the social media listed here.

Figure 1. Spiralized carrots & daikon radish, with halved Jalapeno, in the brine ready to ferment. This is a rather loose adaptation of a traditional Vietnamese recipe , often used as a filling in Bánh Mì . You can google for lots of variations. Đồ Chua is often made as a vinegar pickle, with added sugar – this recipe is a keto/paleo & sugar-free lacto-fermented version. The basic idea is to spiralize (or grate) & mix everythin....

Everyone knows the basic way to renew a LetsEncrypt cert. Open port 80 and let LetsEncrypt connect to your server. But what if you don't want to open your network or you limit access to a handful of IP addresses? Well you can just use the DNS challenge validation, no need for web servers and no need for port wrangling. For example I use the certbot-dns-cloudflare for my work intranet allowing it to remain VPN only. Another great optio..

Cal started strong : his recommendation that experts improve the decentralized distribution of critical information by moving beyond Twitter, the original microblog, to their own blogs hits the nail on the head. I cannot agree more. I wish I could say he finished strong as well, but he just completely missed the mark. In closing, he played up the importance of institutional backing for these sites as a way to lend them credibility. As Ben ..

All Truthy and Falsy Javascript Values In Nodejs, every value has an associated boolean, true or false, value. For example, a null value has an associated boolean value of false. A string value, such as abc has an associated boolean value of true. Values that are associated with boolean true are said to be truthy. Values that are associated with boolean false values are said to be falsy. It can get confusing to keep track of every Javascrip..

I've now owned a few different homes over the years but my current home is the first one with a bathroom that is below ground level (in a finished basement). When you have a bathroom below ground level then your plumbing subsystem has to have a "lift pump". A lift pump system consists of: A sump in the floor where sewage (water / the other stuff) collects A pump that lifts the sewage up to the ground level where it can flow into the str....

Game Night Some weeks ago I found myself wanting to play the social deduction game Secret Hitler. There’s an excellent online version Secret Hitler.io, which during the ongoing Corona related lock-down is a great find. There was one issue: Sign-ups were disabled that night because of excessive demand. So instead of a game night we went on to see if we could deploy our own version, as the website is open source anyway.

Chris Fox makes some good points : “With over 20 years experience at the time I recognized the first obvious flaw [with test-driven design]; writing tests prior to coding is mindful of the old adage about no battle plan surviving contact with the enemy. ... The second problem here is that TDD presumes that developers should write their own tests. This is supremely ridiculous. Iâve seen this many, many times; the project appears soli....

This is a short example of taking a stochastic system, using Fokker-Planck to convert it to a PDES and using SUNDIALS to solve a 2D partial differential equation in Haskell via the hmatrix-sundials library. The example is taken from the C examples that come with the SUNDIALS source. Here’s the full blog.

Using Jsonnet to Generate Dynamic Tekton Pipelines in Kubernetes

For the readers that might be unaware, Tekton is a cloud-native CI/CD solution. In other words, it’s a pipeline for Kubernetes that can generate DAGs (directed acyclic graph). It’s one of the most straightforward solutions to run dependent Pods and steps in Kubernetes. Tekton runs pipelines as Task CRDs (Custom Resource Definition), whereas every task can have one or more sequential steps. Also, a Task can have a dependency on another task,..

This is a post about how the Go compiler implements inlining and how this optimisation affects your Go code. n.b. This article focuses on gc, the de facto Go compiler from golang.org. The concepts discussed apply broadly to other Go compilers like gccgo and tinygo but may differ in implementation and efficacy. What is inlining? […]

Tmux has liberated me from tiling window mangers. Not that I didn’t like those, but I occasionally have to work with macOS or default GNOME setups. And over the years I realised that I only need a terminal multiplexor to do terminal tiling for me, the rest of the windows are just fine to be full-screen in separate workspaces. So, I ended up doing 80% of my work in terminals with tmux.

The Internet succeeded in no small part thanks to the humble hyperlink. The link enabled it to flourish as a network rather than languish as a series of closed silos, which led to its widespread adoption and the prevalence it enjoys today. Although a disturbing trend of centralization has emerged in recent years, many people have made great efforts to combat it; they may yet succeed. Their efforts have relied on the link to bring users toge..
