This is a followup to Today I Learned 2021 . 30 Jan 2022: The Portuguese Man-of-war (the venomous siphonophore) is named after a warship Link to heading A man-of-war is a 16th to 19th century warship. The ones from Portugal are also known as caravels. Portuguese Man-of-wars are so named because they look a little like caravels at full sail. They aren’t found in the waters around Portugal.

I’ve been playing with Racket for the past few weeks. While I haven’t explored all the language-oriented-programming aspects yet, I’ve created a simple program to decrypt files encrypted with Synology Cloudsync. It is available as synology-decrypt (The Racket version). As I’ve written before, I use Backblaze to backup files to the cloud. My Synology NAS encrypts these files before uploading them using Cloudsync. The decryption software is n..

I recently wrote about completing Advent of Code 2022 using a different programming language (or two) every day for 25 days. That note focused on the strategy, tactics and logistics involved in using 26 languages in 25 days without saying much about the languages or the experience itself. Using so many languages in such a short span provided insight into tradeoffs in language design. Here are my two high-level reflections from the..

Resignation of ~aryak ~vern team Sat, 31 Dec 2022 As of 31st December 2022, ~aryak has officially quit the ~vern project as a sysadmin. This was due to disagreements on many topics between him and ~cobra. For now, ~cobra manages all parts of the ~vern infrastructure other than the domain, which is still controlled by ~neo. This means we have a severe lack of manpower but we will try not to stop hosting/maintaining our services. ..

New Service, PGP Suite ~cobra Sat, 31 Dec 2022 I just set up PGP Suite. PGP Suite is a web-based client-side PGP manager for easy use of PGP keys. It is very useful for those who don’t have the knowledge to use something like GnuPG. Thanks for being part of our community!

I only read 17 books in 2022 , confirming the slowdown of the last few years. The total number of pages decreased too, albeit not too much compared to the previous year. In 2021, though, there was a significant drop, as in 2020, I read 28 books or 8073 pages. Stats have been going down since 2015, which is interesting. Like last year , I’m not sure why I’m reading less. More tired? Less interested? I don’t know.

Deployment / Delivery Frequency I often end up needing to advocate for more frequent delivery/deployments with clients. There’s the usual benefits commonly discussed such as improved feedback, reduced risk, well understood processes, maintainable dependencies etc… however what’s often missed entirely is how it relates to the health and sustainability of the team.

For inserting SF Symbols in SwiftUI, I typically rely on Apple's SF Symbols app to browse the symbols's catalog. Once I find a symbol I'm happy with, I copy its name and paste it into my Swift source. This works fairly well. With Christian Tietze recently posting how he rendered SF Symbols in Emacs , I figured there may be a way to shift the above workflow to rely on Emacs completion instead. While I initially went down a rabbit hole t....

This is the Beginner's General for beginners' questions. If any of you have a simple question, and a suitable thread doesn't already exist, just post it here and someone will probably try to answer it. Remember to do some research before asking a question; no one wants to answer a question that a simple search can already resolve.
