Not to anybody. You cannot be interesting to anybody. Whatever medium you are using to express yourself – it won’t work with every human being. So instead of trying to please the world – go make sure the people your information is intended to reach – actually catch their attention. If you don’t know – just pick one and go with it. You will have an other opportunity tomorrow to write for the other crowd you have ignored today.

Things machine learning plus UX teams seemingly can't get right yet: Is this non-friend facebook message important or not? Do I care if this person liked some random thing on facebook? Do I need notifications or directions to an event I'm already at? Am I in a vehicle right now? What zoom level would be useful for this map?

In the previous post in this series , we examined features of the Stream API added in Java 9. A very useful API that plays well with streams, and was, in fact, used to make streams more robust, is Optional. Let’s explore it with JShell ! Optional provides a container that may or may not contain a...

This morning I battled the borrow checker for a while trying to properly pass a variable through a closure to a child thread. I eventually figured out calling .to_owned() in the right place was needed, but it took a long time to get to that point. My normal urge is to try to understand what's happening by studying closely the compiler error message and the standard library docs, but for pragmatic reasons I need to let go of that and not wai....

Apple's newest mobile CPU, the A11, brings a new level of heterogeneous computing to iOS, with both high and low performance cores that are always on. With the release of the iPhone X, I set out to see if I could observe these heterogeneous cores in action. (Read More)

Today I wrote a little unix utility to ensure a given line is present in a file. It's not that much longer than I would expect in a scripting language (60 lines vs probably ~10 for python), but the number of machinations I had to go through was vastly larger. To get basename of argv[0] I had to make a Path struct which brings lots of Option/Result handling into things. I'm getting less terrible at reading the standard library reference docu....

In the last post in this series , we took a look at the new convenience factory methods for collections in Java 9. Collections play well with the Stream API, which learned a few new tricks since its introduction in Java 8 as well. There are 4 particularly exciting new features – let’s explore them with JShell !
