A few months back I had an email exchange with Drew Capener, from filtra.io, who is interviewing professionals involved in the Rust community. We ended up having a nice chat, which he transcribed and posted online under the title “Contributing to Rust as a novice”. It even triggered some discussion on Hacker News! What did we talk about? The adventure of contributing to Rust in 2014 as a beginner to programming, the crucial role of friendly..

In this post, I’ll share the key tools and configurations I use when setting up a new macOS environment for software engineering. Applications I’m a fan of Firefox and a bunch of other tools, but I’ll keep this to developer-related tools. iTerm2 I believe it is better than the built-in Terminal. Probably. Configure the following shortcuts from this tutorial . ⌥ ⌫ for deleting a word ⌥ ← for going back a word ⌥ → for going forward....

So on occasion, I find myself wanting to run SQL against customer databases. Where this gets annoying is that because we are often in AWS using lambda I have no ability to connect to them. Occasionally im able to bully the friendly devops’ and security people to allow me access to a bastion host, which I can then connect to the SQL database. However this is often a painful process if allowed at all, and so with permission I sometimes add ..

I recently got a Steam Deck for my birthday. Ever since its initial launch, I was on the fence about getting one. The first reason was that I already had a handheld in Nintendo Switch. And second, my top played game genre is Real-time Strategy (RTS), which doesn’t really work that well on a handheld. After using it for a week, I am a big fan of the device. This article is my collection of tips you may find useful and some interesting use ..

I always struggle a bit with I’m asked about the “hallucination problem” in LLMs. Because, in some sense, hallucination is all LLMs do. They are dream machines. We direct their dreams with prompts. The prompts start the dream, and based on the LLM’s hazy recollection of its training documents, most of the time the result goes someplace useful. It’s only when the dreams go into deemed factually incorrect territory that we label it ..

Although certainly not comprehensive, this article collects some of my favorite articles, papers, and reso..

This December, the imp of the perverse struck me, and I decided to see how many days of Advent of Code I could do purely in compile-time C++ metaprogramming. As of this writing, I’ve done two days, and I’m not sure I’ll make it any further. However, that’s one more day than I planned to do as of yesterday, which is in turn further than I thought I’d make it after my first attempt.
