So I just dropped a pill on the ground as I took my daily vitamins and I picked it it up and said "5 second rule" before popping it in my mouth. And then it struck me: In the age of covid, the 5 second rule no longer applies. Covid can live on surfaces for up to 3 days. MIT Technology Review

Note : This is from a real world thing that I'm about to release. Like a lot of database apps in the world, mine generally tend to use auto incrementing ids for object identifiers. An object identifier is a value in a system which uniquely identifies something. Let's say you have a url like this: http://localhost:3169/locations?country_id=91 What that is saying, under the hood, is "Get the data from the locations store and give ....

I'd like to say that I'm happy to announce: https://www.covidnearme.org/ but I'm not. Like a lot of us, nay, most of us, I find the current COVID-19 / Corona virus bothersome if not scary. But the world is what it is and we are better off knowing more about COVID-19 rather than less so I made a tool. What is covidnearme.org? Covnearme.org is a web site which lets you: Easily drill down to where you live. Bookmark a location ....

Alex Gaynor recently asked this question in an IRC channel I hang out in (a channel which contains several software engineers nearly as obsessed with software testing as I am): uhh, so I’m writing some code to handle an econnreset… how do I test this? This is a good question! Testing ECONNRESET is one of those fiddly problems that exists at the interface between systems — in his case, with S3, not even a system under his control — that can ..

Hey all, just a quick post about di-tui , my new di.fm terminal UI player. I’ve been playing hours of music with this player over the past two weeks and have to say that I really love it and am proud of its ease of use and simplicity. Most people who know me know that I work almost exclusively in the terminal: tmux, mutt, slack-term , vim, and now di-tui and many more. Now I finally have great music in the terminal! I hope someone e..

So I just signed up a new service, SimpleAnalytics because, well, if I never look again at Google Analytics then I'll be happy as hell. I can't say enough bad things about Google Analytics – and I've been using it since it was Urchin . Simple Analytics appears to be an impressive tool and I want to launching something, well, TODAY so when they offered a simple signup and easy to use workflow, I bit. I even gave them a credit card. ....

On Transitioning from Software Developer to Architect

Around 2003 I changed companies and accepted the title “Software Architect” at the new company. Before that, I’d been working as a developer, then lead developer, then development team lead for a B2C startup. If I had a time machine and could go back in time to give myself advice, this is what I would say. Caveat: Unlike “Software Developer” or “Software Engineer”, pretty much each company has its own definition of what a “Software ....

Heather Hansman, writing for Outside Online: “Americans have gone west to escape the ills of society while bringing the ills of society with them, pretty much since Manifest Destiny; one regional myth was that, once here, everyone would have the chance to experience something wild. In reality, of course, settlement always brought land-access issues, prompted human displacement, and fueled socioeconomic disparity. That remains true now, ..

This article is more about understanding the Event Emitters in Angular and Ionic. Data flow is the most important when you build an application to communicate with components. Event Emitters will help you to even bind using @Input @Output decorators. Here is a simple example to display and update the user profile using Angular Event Emitters. For this demo I choose Ionic framework for better experience. Take a quick look at the live demo.

Every year, The Shaw Trust produces a list called ‘The Power 100’. It’s a list of the 100 most influential disabled people in the UK. Last year, I read the list with interest and noticed that most of them were entrepreneurs or worked in the public or non-profit sectors. There was hardly anyone from the corporate world. I was disappointed but not surprised.

A system of hooks in Scribunto can be reasonable to use if you have a wikifarm with synced code that occasionally needs to be slightly modified on one or more wikis. I found the system more complicated than it was worth, but I’m documenting it here before I remove it.
