We spoke with Rebecca Parsons, our Chief Technology Officer, Ange Ferguson, Chief Transformation Officer, Jessie Jie Xia, Managing Director for Southeast Asia, and Joanna Parke, Chief Talent Officer. Between them they’ve been at Thoughtworks for 65 years and held pretty much every role you can think of. Today they’re all in leadership roles, but took time out to chat to us about their paths, share some advice and laugh about the bumps on th..

The Question A recent homework problem had us derive the parallel plate capacitor 1 equation for electrostatics. This gives the capacitance of a parallel plate structure in terms of the plate area, distance between the plates and relative permittivity. The equation for this situation is: $ C = \epsilon_{R}\epsilon_{0}\frac{A}{d} $ After solving this problem for the analytical solution, I was curious to see how closely the resu....

Bullshit Job : not what you think David Graeber has turned what would have happily stayed a colourful expression of our daily lives into an actual concept. In his book Bullshit Jobs - A Theory published fairly recently in 2018, he expands on the concept : A bullshit job is one that even the person doing it secretly believes need not, or should not, exist. That if the job, or even the whole industry, were to vanish, either it would make no ..

TL/DR: I wrote a fast literal string matching library in Go get it here https://github.com/boyter/go-string/ Recently I rebuilt searchcode in Go, as mentioned . While there was a variety of reasons for this one was that performance in the previous Python version was not great. Please note this was mostly due to my own shortcomings and not the language itself. However I have always used searchcode as a test bed for interesting prob..

Recently I tried to resize a LVM logical volume with its volume group and the physical disk belonging to the vg. Because the logical volume contained all partitions except for /boot I knew it would be hard. I also knew that I had no backup and no snapshot of the virtual machine. :) Here’s the initial situation: root@master:/home/sebastian# fdisk -l Device Boot Start End Sectors Size Id Type /dev/sda1 * 2048 499711 497664 2....

Tesla had its first Battery Day on September 22nd, 2020 1 . What a fantastic world we live in that we can witness the first Apple-like keynote for batteries. Batteries are a part of our everyday life; without them, the world would be a much different place. Your cellphone, flashlight, tablet, laptops, drones, cars, and other devices would not be portable and operational without batteries. At the heart of it, batteries store chemical ene....

Covid-19 has forced us into a reality where colocallity can only be virtual. While the press, inspired by the promises from some Silicon Valley giants, has tried to forecast how and when humanity would become a remote-first society, nobody came up with the creative scenario where a pandemic would be the trigger for global digital transformation. In this new reality, schools and universities need to adapat. Beyond the Zoom-Classroom experien..

Update 2021-07-06: the approach was updated using the Kish’s effective sample size . In this post, I will show how to calculate weighted quantile estimates and how to use them in practice. Let’s start with a problem from real life. Imagine that you measure the total duration of a unit test executed daily on a CI server. Every day you get a single number that corresponds to the test duration from the latest revision for this day: ....

I did this through the progression of writing different versions of the same type using concrete types, the empty interface and then finally, generics. I also provided information on how th..

We’re glibly searching for counterexamples to the Riemann Hypothesis, to trick you into learning about software engineering principles. In the first two articles we configured a testing framework and showed how to hide implementation choices behind an interface. Next, we’ll improve the algorithm’s core routine. As before, I’ll link to specific git commits in the final code repository to show how the project evolves. Superabundant numbers A ..

I recently worked with a team of software developers who were quite confident with the level of testing they had in place on their project. They had a robust set of unit tests, and extensive code coverage reports to match. They were thoughtful about separating out their unit tests (performed in isolation with the tactical use of mocks and stubs) from their more involved, longer running integration tests.

I have been using Gitlab for quite a while now, however, I was never too happy with it. uBlock Origin found some tracking elements on it, and it is very slow… I have been considering Sourcehut , however, there are several things I do not like: It may keep potential contributors away. The interface is very minimal and basically requires you to use the git command line , and the public sr.ht service is said to become paid at some po....

The macOS Preview app does a great job inserting signatures to existing pdfs. I was hoping it could overlay images just as easily. Doesn't look like it's possible, without exporting/reimporting to image formats and losing pdf structure. Did I miss something? In any case, I found formulatepro . Dormant at Google Code Archive, but also checked in to github . With a tiny patch , it builds and runs on Catalina. One can easily insert an ima..
