I own both an original ErgoDox (full hand acrylic case, from I think the 2nd massdrop) and a newer ErgoDox Infitity. The original works better for me and I wanted to share my experience and reasoning. There's a few things that are just simpler/nicer: flashing the original just requires a paperclip button press on the top of the keyboard and 1 command in the OS Flashing the infinity is a dance of a paperclip press on the underside of one h....

True heroism is minutes, hours, weeks, year upon year of the quiet, precise, judicious exercise of probity and care - with no one there to see or cheer. This is the world". David Foster Wallace, The Pale King

SVG files are like JPG, PNG, and GIF files. They’re all images. But unlike JPG, PNG, and GIF files - which are raster images - SVG files are vector images. And, unlike JPG, PNG, and GIF files, SVG files don’t render a thumbnail in Windows Explorer or show up as a preview.

I finished another feature on Chronicles: “Focused headings” (demo). Focusing a heading finds all content under that heading, filters everything else out, then pins the heading to the top of the journal. A journal might typically have a range of topics across many days: After “Focusing” a heading, the heading element is fixed to the top, and the view filters any content not under that heading: The primary inspiration was wanting a way to ta..

The lua-resty-http is incredbily useful when you need some LUA in OpenResty to place external HTTP requests. However, when you need it to do HTTPS things are just a little more complex - it's not a simple as passing it https as a scheme, instead you need to make a specific call to trigger the SSL handshake This snippet shows how to do that (using a keepalive pool to reduce connection overhead between requests) Read more…

Let’s start with some sage advice.A lot of curmudgeonly commenters on HN treat viable side-projects as a lottery. If we take that idea seriously, well, your chances of winning a PowerBall per ticket is 1 in 13 983 816. There are around 42620 programmers in Silicon Valley + the other US tech hubs (Seattle, Dallas/Fort Worth, DC, NYC)1. So if every single one of those Y programmers tries to found a startup, the expected number of startups we’..

I've been on the fence about Phoenix and Elixir for a while and I thought I'd take at least a quick dive. I've had a development system for Phoenix and Elixir since at least 2016 but I haven't done much. This means that the first task is bringing it into the 2020s. Upgrading Elixir I installed Elixir via HomeBrew which means it is a simple: which elixir /usr/local/bin/elixir Note : It can be hard sometimes to know if you install....

Since version 4.10, OCaml offers a new best-fit memory allocator alongside its existing default, the next-fit allocator. At Jane Street, we've seen a big improvement after switching over to the new allocator. This post isn't about how the new allocator works. For that, the best source is these notes from a talk by its author. Instead, this post is about just how tricky it is to compare two allocators in a reasonable way, especially for a g..

Collaborating for success: An effective approach for fintechs to partner with large institutions

In our previous article we asked the question whether banks should “create or collaborate” to address a customer need or market opportunity. Even once the decision is made to collaborate, that's only half the battle. Large financial services organizations and fintechs working together is not new, however, the record of success is not great.

My toy Lisp fn is an inherently single-threaded language, but with its built-in stack-inspection capabilities, it’s easy to build coroutines on top. The implementation only has about 20 lines of code, including comments. This article contains a simplified implementation in-line. In only rewrote some comments to make more sense in context, and removed confusing technicalities like fn’s custom method call syntax, the use of dynamic-wind....

Eons ago, one of us (Nag) was involved with a large consumer products company that wanted to launch a new brand of salt. Naturally, they embarked on a gigantic market research (MR) project. The team carried out focus groups across the length and breadth of India, including little Padrauna in Uttar Pradesh, India.

Freetype, included in the font stack on Unix, is quite complex. There are so many layers to get it to do what it does that it's easy to get lost. From finding the font, to actually rendering it, and everything in between. Like most of the world, I use a rather low screens definition (1366x768 with 96 dpi) and rather old-ish laptop, unlike some font designers that live in a filter bubble where everyone has the latest macbook. Thus, good and ..
