Git hooks are a feature of git that enable custom scripts to be triggered on certain events during the execution of a git command, such as pre-commit and pre-push. It’s common practice for teams to use git hooks to run quality checks to ensure they are run by all developers every time. While this is a good sign that a team cares about quality and repeatability, I observe that this practice has some major downsides. In this article, I’ll exp..

I don't care how permissive / how liberal a parent you are, I suspect that you would have problems with your relatively young kid (let's say under 18) going into a place like this: I look at putting the Internet into your home without some kind of Internet filtering as analogous to letting your kids walk into a place like this and not stopping them. In the rest of this post I'll talk about Internet filtering and the first ever produ....

I remember when I started at my current company there was a departing employee who had a reputation for being exceptionally talented but also quite difficult to work with. This was so pervasive that virtually every person I spoke with had the same thing to say about them. It became very clear when they left how much of a hole they left because of their prowess.

The main motivating factors were roughly So many more packages were available in the Arch User Repository On Ubuntu/Mint I had accumulated ~100 custom installation scripts for new or obscure packages from git and assorted random web sites.

There are typically two types of folks that want to have their own startup: Engineers / Technical folk who have the ability to create their own products / services / mobile apps / SAAS apps Business Folk who have a concept but don't have the ability to create their own technology There are exceptions to the rule – sometimes you will see someone who straddles these lines (I do; I'm both more than business savvy and I write code like demo....

Well it's the roaring 20's at last and here's the blogpost where I look back on the annual output of a machine I call "me". I spend a lot of time berating myself for the things I didn't do, so it's pretty odd to look back and see that a lot of things did get out the door. Numbers in parens, e.g. "(3,2,1)", are the figures from last year, the year before that and the year before that. 1 new product launched TimeSnapper for Mac . Jon ....

I am spending much of my time these days in the world of machine learning and I'm finding that it is profoundly interesting . One of the most interesting aspects of machine learning, for me, is the black box nature of machine learning's output. What we typically get from a machine learning model what the model thinks but not how it arrived at that result. And this lack of explainability is true for machine learning whether the underly....

Proponents of modern bible translations and the critical text in general argue that the KJV should be abandoned for ecclesiastical use. The two main arguments are (1) its archaic language, and (2) inferior Greek text. Firstly, biblical doctrine is complex, and if we want to reach the world, we should endeavor to remove as many obstacles as possible. The lowest hanging fruit appears to be the translation of the bible. We want it to be a....

The duality of InteractionDialog and Dialog is often confusing to the Codename One newcomer (and to some degree to veteran developers too). This is in part due to the multiple behavior differences that extend far beyond the “official” functionality difference. This has its roots in history that predated Codename One. In this post I’ll try to clarify the process of picking the “right one” and the tradeoffs involved.

As the field of SE/CS is getting more press, graduates are flooding the market. Yet, the curriculum given in many universities still seems barren when it comes to professionalism, forcing newcomers to learn via unpolished street creds. Not only is it leading to mysticism about what skills are required but is also leading to a lack of discipline, duty, and craftsmanship.

A fully automated cleanup strategy. This is a comparison of different programming idioms for performing cleanup work. Common use cases where this is used include: Locking and unlocking synchronization locks. Opening and closing files. Canceling asynchronous operations that aren’t needed any more. Allocation and deallocation. A naive solution: Cluttered cleanups int frobnicate() { set_up(); int err = foo(); if (err) { clean_up();....
