This year at work there’s been a push to brush up on relational database fundamentals. I’m generally pretty good at that, so I wanted to put my skills to the test. My preferred way to learn (or upskill) a new language in the month of December? Advent of Code! I’ve done AoC for the last 5 iterations starting in 2021, spanning a few languages – starting in Ruby, then Python, then Golang last year (but I got busy and didn’t finish), to f....

How to query a list of Python dictionaries using DuckDB, without previously converting to another format. We can pass the list of dictionaries to the query directly and use unnest to convert to a list of rows. We can also expand the struct to multiple columns. Note : all the dictionaries must have the same keys. # /// script # requires-python = ">=3.12" # dependencies = ["duckdb"] # /// import duckdb DATA = [ ....

Ça y est, j’ai terminé la réécriture de mon site pour partager mes notes de cours . Jusqu’ici, j’utilisais l’application PineDocs 1 . J’ai fait de nombreuses contributions au projet et je tiens à encore remercier xy2z 2 d’en avoir merge plus d’une. Mais depuis un moment, je voulais changer. Déjà, PineDocs est écrit en PHP, un langage que je ne connais pas. Je voulais aussi que le site soit mieux intégré à mon nouveau site (l’act....

Yesterday, I was walking around a quiet countryside neighborhood when I saw a sign for a "Go Club." For those who don’t know, Go is a strategic board game also called Baduk in Korean and Weiqi in Chinese. I have always been fascinated by Go because of its elegant mechanics and philosophy. Excited, I immediately went inside to say hello. Inside, four people were playing—two middle school students and two elderly men, both over 70. One of....

Idag höll jag min tredje novellfika i Uppsala, och det var en särskild fika eftersom några vänner från Stockholm var med. Så vi hade både nya och gamla kompisar i diskussionen. Efter fikan gick några av oss hem till mig för lunch och lite mer prat.

The new generation of code assistance tools powered by Large Language Models (LLM)s may be useful in efficiently categorizing and translating historical software corpora. In this qualitative study, we examine LLM performance in explaining and translating FLOW-MATIC programs. We also test their reliability by injecting OCR-like errors into the text. Released in 1958, FLOW-MATIC targeted business applications and used a heavily English-inspi....

The four most popular ways to use RDF-based metadata on websites are RDFa-Core, RDFa-Lite, Microdata, and inline JSON-LD. I can’t use RDFa-Lite because I need rel HTML attributes. rel silently upgrades RDFa-Lite to RDFa-Core , which parses differently. I doubt all parsers upgrade correctly; some will try to parse RDFa-Core as RDFa-Lite. Conformant RDFa parsers upgrade RDFa-Lite pages to RDFa-Core despite many authors only being familiar ....

Optimizing the information you show in your GitHub profile with dynamic PRs and blog content Recently I was toying with the somewhat new GitHub feature that allows you to create a repository with the same name as your GitHub username and host in it a README.md file that then is displayed in your profile and visible to whoever visits your profile page. While this feature is good, it's not too dynamic, but there are two things in our favour..

I was reading up on the recent Ultralytics GitHub Action compromise and I stumbled upon this great analysis of the situation. In it, zizmor is introduced, which is a static analysis tool for GitHub Actions. I experimented with it a bit and I have to say it's working great. It correctly identified misconfigured GitHub Actions on some repositories I was working on. It's another tool that's worth having as part of your CI.

When you have a web application, almost always, you need to run some functions/scripts regularly. This what cron is for. I wanted to find an easy way to run “cron-like” jobs inside a FastAPI app. The app runs inside docker, and I just need those jobs to run as long as the app is also running. Since the app is “async”, I found I can just have recurring background tasks as part of the app. We need to use the app lifespan and some functi..

This week’s practical philosophy seminar discussed personhood-based arguments for the resuscitation of extremely premature infants (EPIs). These notes focus less on discussion/paper specifics and more on what I learned about the topic as a whole during the discussion and afterward.

Prompted by a discussion on twitter , in which github.com/graphitemaster/normals_revisited was linked, I looked into this issue. It's pretty confusing! Lets get into the details... We can define the geometric normal of a triangle as the vector formed by taking the cross product of the triangle edges: $$n_g = (v_1 - v_0) \times (v_2 - v_0)$$ or $$n_g = a \times b$$ where \(a\) and \(b\) are the edge vectors $$a = v_1 - v_0$$ $$b = v_....

If you follow all of the anti-glowie threat model advice, one of the most common suggestions proposed is to disable all of your cellular related features on your phones, leave it on airplane mode permanently, or better yet just don't have a phone at all. What nobody seems to mention is, you're trading off reachability which could be critical for a lot of people that may not realize it at first. Imagine your significant other, friend, or fam....

Lately, I’ve been trying to learn more JavaScript. I wanted to explore web components. After checking out some frameworks and tools, mainly lit , tonic and facet , I wanted to build my own thing. It ended up being heavily inspired by tonic , but way simpler and with less features. I also really liked lit-html , which you can use as a separate package without having to use lit . It solves the problem of re-rendering only the UI pa..

Igår gick vi på vårt team-julbord! Jag har varit vegetarian i många, många år. Jag hade inte ätit fisk på ungefär… 10 år kanske, innan tidigare i år. Så detta var mitt första julbord (som jag minns) där jag åt fisk, och det var så väldigt gott! Men jag åt för mycket av det och vaknade upp med ont i magen. Värt det.

This was one of the most creative and enjoyable sci-fi books I’d read in a while. The two main storylines are split between spider-like intelligent aliens on a remote planet and the conflict between humans in orbit who are preparing to make First Contact. The way that the alien storyline is “translated” into English is a very compelling storytelling device. The human storyline paints a vivid picture of a far-future spacefaring civilizatio....
