I've been reading High Tech case studies now since the 80s – just after I entered the business. Bryan Cantrill from Oxide Computer's podcast inspired me to get all my books out and order them on a rough historical basis. I thought listing them here might be interesting to someone. All of these I've read and there are a ton of lessons for entrepreneurs here. I put rough notes next to some of them in bold after the author name in qu....

Yesterday I deployed a new thing via HatchBox and I was using the very, very latest – Rails 7.0.3. My deploy was textbook perfect and then I viewed it in Chrome and got that awful, awful message: Web application could not be started Insert loud cursing here I know the drill – it is a lower level error than HatchBox can handle (although I can think of at least a few ways HatchBox could handle it) – so do the dance: SSH into the ....

HatchBox continues to be my favorite tool for Rails deployment hands down. And this includes Dockarno – my own Bash based Docker deployment tool. When something you pay for replaces something you wrote yourself, that's a sign of its very, very strong goodness. I just used HatchBox to support SSL wildcard deployment for something I'm building and the process was a tad bit tricky so I thought I'd write it up. HatchBox has excellent buil....

Introduction In the latest release Apple has made some big steps forward with the integration of Apple Keychain and macOS/iOS: “ iOS 15 Includes Built-In Password Authenticator With Autofill, Replacing Google Authenticator and Authy ”. Now the passwords are well managed, quite well integrated in the system, and most important: you can also add the 2FA without use third-party apps. And i think this feature is very useful, at the moment I en..

Anchor texts are a very useful source of keywords for a search engine, and in an older version of the search engine, it used the text of such hyperlinks as a supplemental source for keywords, but due to a few redesigns, this feature has fallen off. Last few days has been spent working on trying to re-implement it in a new and more powerful fashion. This has largely been enabled by a crawler re-design from a few months ago, which offers th..

One of the main pain points of using SQLite in production deployments or VMs is managing the database. There are lots of database GUIs, but only work with local SQLite databases. Managing an SQLite database remotely requires: Adding a new service to the deployment (like Adminer , sqlite-web or postlite ) Giving the new service permissions to access the volume with the database Exposing a port to access the service The alternative is ..

As is too often the case, I find that the initial aspect of getting a modern app (Bootstrap, Tailwind, React) initially setup to be the most frustrating aspect of Rails. Given that I like to spin up new apps pretty regularly, well, I spend a lot of time being frustrated with an old man's grumbling of: It didn't used to be this hard. No it wasn't this hard. And while I still don't really understand asset compilation, I did recent....

When using Storybook in React applications to showcase and document your components, creating the Storybook file is often a repetitive task. Therefore, I want to show a quick alternative using the popular Hygen code generator.

We admit that this article is blatant Rust propaganda. If you are rust-curious, this is the place for you. We want to show you how the benefits of using Rust go beyond the language itself and trickle down to your whole ecosystem. Dynamic languages can undoubtedly be fun and convenient. However, always being dynamic is not necessarily a good thing. The word on the street is that unit testing is driven by dynamic languages precisely because....

The expected number of takes from a discrete distribution before observing the given element

Let’s consider a discrete distribution $X$ defined by its probability mass function $p_X(x)$. We randomly take elements from $X$ until we observe the given element $x_0$. What’s the expected number of takes in this process? This classic statistical problem could be solved in various ways. I would like to share one of my favorite approaches that involves the derivative of the series $\sum_{n=0}^\infty x^n$.

At the time of writing this, my career is more than 13 years old. Starting programming professionally in 2009, and doing some bits and pieces of learning back when I was studying, I have been playing with computers around the start of this century. In all these years, I have worked with 4-5 different tech stacks and worked in corporations with 400+ employees, software shops and startups as well. And with all these I gained a valuable experi..

I had this struggle too, and solved it with per-section and combined feeds. My combined feed contains every page on my site that includes a publication date in its metadata; my sections for articles and notes have their own respective feeds. If I want live updates (this is a static site) there’s still ....

H3 is a geospacial indexing library created by Uber. If you are familiar with this blog it’s similar to S2. Uber is providing h3 for Go. Unfortunately it’s a CGO version, a C to Go binding as you may know CGO is not Go. Having a native Go library is easier to deal with but would mean a full rewrite. Transpiling You may have heard about a recent effort to transpile C to Go using ccgo and the associated libc.
