I recently worked on a small project using the Serverless Framework. As someone more experienced with terraform, I found it to be a new, interesting experience. It’s worth noting that Serverless uses CloudFormation underneath for AWS. After few weeks, I can share a bit of my personal thoughts about the framework. Firstly, the Serverless Framework is not a bad piece of software. It can deploy an API Gateway with a bunch of lambda functions i..

I’m just back from reading Programmer Interrupted: The Real Cost of Interruption and Context Switching , an interesting short piece in which I learned about at least two new things. First, The Parable of the Two Watchmakers , introduced by Nobel Prize winner Herbert Simon, describes the complex relationship between sub-systems and their larger wholes. In the context of the article, it helps explain, even for non-programmers, the cost of..

You usually need a media player on a system and mpv is my favourite. Other media players like VLC are still good but I prefer mpv. No Telemetry Unlike some other media players, mpv does not collect any information about its users. No opt-in or opt-out for it. It’s a pointless waste of bandwidth and doesn’t feel required anyways. Simple And Powerful Mpv has a very simple UI that is easy to navigate.

Web browsers are very useful but choosing the right one and using one safely isn’t always easy. A lot of people today use computers and a large portion of their time is spent in the browser so people should be careful. Thank you to @pleo:matrix.org for recommending this topic to write about.

The SHARE organization was organized in 1955 to share operational knowledge and computer programs for operators of the IBM 704. “Operational knowledge” included monthly availability reports and, perhaps unexpectedly, safety advice. Each site reported its own availability via a common form. Each installation was given a two-letter identifier (which, as SHARE grew to more installations, became a branding problem for some sites). The NS site....

Chris Moran, the Guardian’s head of editorial innovation: Last month one of our journalists received an interesting email. A researcher had come across mention of a Guardian article, written by the journalist on a specific subject from a few years before. But the piece was proving elusive on our website and in search. Had the headline perhaps been changed since it was launched? Had it been removed intentionally from the website because ..

Arrived at 2pm for a brief visit. High tide had been 8.3ft at 1:05pm, so the tide was still very high. No tide pools accessible but still lots of fun to be had. The little stream to the north that flows from the pond into the sea was too wide to jump across, and too deep to walk through in boots. However, with the help of some strangers we built a very primitive bridge out of the driftwood. Though it still required a good sense of balance..

The most boring part of setting up a new code project is typing the boilerplate: it’s easy to forget bits, so we just copy the last project’s folder and “file the serial numbers off” on the project name. Copy-pasta-driven project setup is not great though, as it’s too easy to forget replacing values in obscure files, or misunderstand why project is set up that way in the first place, leading to nasty surprises down the line.
