For the last four years I’ve been working on a book for programmers who want to learn mathematics. It’s finally done, and you can buy it today. The website for the book is pimbook.org, which has purchase links—paperback and ebook—and a preview of the first pages. You can see more snippets later in the book on the Amazon listing’s “Look Inside” feature. If you’re a programmer who wants to learn math, this book is written specifically for you..

Someone handed me an Ocado shopping voucher for 30% off. Sounded promising, even for a one-off. With my Money or Your Life hat on, I took a closer look for potential savings. Results were disappointing, when compared to alternatives like Asda. Here's a table comparing Ocado (30% off) and Asda (no discount): Ocado Asda Coconut Merchant Organic Raw Extra Virgin Coconut Oil 500ml 6.74 KTC 100% pure coconut oil 2.00 Waitro....

16th January 2019 - I have updated the article to include DNS lookups over VPN too, where as previously they would have been going out via your ISP/WiFi/mobile provider. WireGuard is the new kid on the block when it comes to VPNs. I could try and explain what it is and why you should switch from OpenVPN or IPsec to it, but they do a great job of that themselves:

Law of Christ is Equivalent to the Law of the Ten Commandments

The law of Christ is identical to the law of the ten commandments. Christ did not give another law; Christ gave that law of the ten commandments. To this law He subjected Himself and has perfectly lived according to it, leaving us an example therein. He Himself is also a living law. Christ has never given liberty to transgress any of the ten commandments, be it those that pertain to murder, adultery, or theft, etc. Thus, the law of Chri..

Did you know that it is mathematically impossible to predict the weather 30 days in the future. Not just “its really hard and we don’t know how to do it yet”, but rather “nobody will ever, EVER, be able to do this no matter how advanced they are”. Chaos theory proves it. Even if we know physics laws perfectly, even if they are completely deterministic, and we have nearly perfect knowledge of where every single atom is on earth, we will sti....

This is #4 in a very long series of posts on Stack Overflow’s architecture. Previous post (#3): Stack Overflow: How We Do Deployment - 2016 Edition What is monitoring? As far as I can tell, it means different things to different people. But we more or less agree on the concept. I think. Maybe. Let’s find out! When someone says monitoring, I think of: …but evidently some people think of other things. Those people are obv....

Nearly every technology that has been developed has been used for both good and bad. Developments that look like they could have a massive impact on civilization have usually also spun off a side effect that has a detrimental effect. This could be the latest technologies such as genetic engineering and artificial intelligence or older technologies such as the automobile.

A while back I collected all of the fake Orly book covers I could find an posted them online https://boyter.org/2016/04/collection-orly-book-covers/ I also mentioned that I was seriously considering writing content for the “Expert Excuses for Not Writing Unit Tests” one. I think I had this idea at the time that it was something I could potentially sell or use to raise my profile. Since I am not a comedy writer there is a market of about..

I read a lot of books and once I start reading a book I normally finish it. This article proposes that it may be more valuable to have a bunch of books that are unread. Not sure I completely buy in to the proposition that “Read books are far less valuable than unread ones” however maybe I won’t feel so guilty buying a book and then leaving it unread.

Types of Development #1 Rage driven development Where an existing application/process causes one to rage so hard you spend the next 6 weeks over-engineering a solution to solve a simple problem. Example Perl. Types of Development #2 Test driven development Where previous projects and death marches result in a violent reaction of over-correcting for past failures and everything must be tested dammit. Example includes any project ..

Been saving admin code snippets in my own org source blocks , some requiring root access. Handy for keeping tiny self-documented scripts to easily bootstrap other machines. TIL org source block's :dir argument can be used to run block as root by using tramp syntax: /:dir sudo:: As user: #+BEGIN_SRC sh whoami #+END_SRC #+RESULTS: : user As root: #+BEGIN_SRC sh :dir /sudo:: whoami #+END_SRC #+RESULTS: : root
