Steven Pressfield has really coined the term *resistance in his famous book The War of Art amongts some other books he dedicated to it, and his words are so accurate that it is a must read for everyone in the business of making shit happen. TL;DR The resistance is a phenomenon well known to creative people, entrepreneurs and anybody trying to make something different and/or new happen – to some extent it is like a force of nature that manif..

Drinks and deserts bring me a kick of happiness. I like the rush and excitement I get after a good Old Fashioned, and I like the content that I feel after eating a Tiramisu. For a while, I feel happier. I smile, and I forgive, and I relax. Yet, whenever I have a drink or a desert - it takes from my health. Just like the damage an avatar would sustain in a 3D shooter game, I lose a few precious percent of health. And I’m not speaking about....

Staying true to my well-documented inability to write timely posts, here’s a post that I probably should have finished three months ago. I wasn’t always the truck-faring degenerate that I am now. Reading some of my earlier posts, I can vividly remember a (roughly four percent) younger, more hesitant Brandon, sitting in an airport terminal, running through the plan over and over in his head, making sure he didn’t miss any important details..

I was inspired last night by Cate Huston’s post, The Day I Leave the Tech Industry . I decided to write my own, except I’m not as eloquent a writer as Cate so before I go any further please, please, please read her post and not mine. Mine is going to be a bit different. Lately I’ve been thinking more and more about this. It seems imminent. I’m only 27 and let me repeat: it seems imminent. I’m going to tell you all the fantasy that play....

Update: You can find an updated and significantly improved version of this post in my book “Pro .NET Benchmarking” . DateTime is a widely used .NET type. A lot of developers use it all the time, but not all of them really know how it works. In this post, I discuss DateTime.UtcNow : how it’s implemented, what the latency and the resolution of DateTime on Windows and Linux, how the resolution can be changed, and how it can affect your ..

We've prioritized the resources that our users need to load and gained an impressive boost on our JavaScript application startup. In this article, I will explain how we've used Webpack, adjusted our handling of SVG icons and prioritized user needs to achieve up to 4.5 times faster startup.

There are many different types of testing which exist in software engineering. They should not be confused with the test levels, unit testing, integration testing, component interface testing, and system testing. However the different test levels may be used by each type as a way of checking for software quality. The following are all different types of tests in software engineering. A/B A/B testing is testing the comparison of two ..

Remark : I have not had this problem in years, and it’s probably long resolved. Unless you’re using Debian, where people care about this, chances are that setting up GPG Smartcards with your Linux distribution is an adventure. There are two ways to do it, CCID and PCSCLite, the latter of which runs a background service pcscd – as root, at least on Arch, while GnuPG’s built-in CCID driver accesses the reader directly through the USB dev....

I’m talking to myself but you can join the conversation. It goes like this… How much is your time worth? Ten dollars per hour? Fifty dollars per hour? Thousand dollars per hour? If you pick a number that you like, can you use it to justify your spending habits, to justify buying expensive clothes and car? How much is your time worth? When you wake up with a hangover, is your time worth as much as when you’ve slept well and drank a coff....

If you know me, or have read various sections of my website, you’ll know that I am a die hard member of the computing industry that also likes to collect vintage computers (this is actually quite common - you’d be surprised how many of my colleagues do the same). Yesterday, I managed to find a very interesting canvas painting in Toronto (the picture at the top of this post), and just HAD to have it. From the signature, it was painted ..

They came to me with an Excel file sketch of an idea they had about a brand new way to read this seminal philosophical work. […]

Minimalist interpreters have always attracted me. First of all, they are a good fit for embedded systems whenever you need a custom domain-specific language. If one needs a scripting language for a microcontroller - there is not so many choices. Instead there are lots of constraints, like the size of the compiled binary code, RAM usage and memory management. Of course the language itself is important, too. Lua, a very stable, pragmatic and ..

A bit over two years ago I blogged about migrating to Octopress from Wordpress, this time I'll blog about migrating to Hugo from Octopress. I started messing around with Hugo because I was experimenting with Go and wanted to take a look at a simple and complete Go project. I ended up liking the simplicity of setting up a new site and decided to try porting my blog to it.

My work setup requires a non-administrator account for normal login. I have sudo access set up for my normal user. For some reason, Atom's autoupdate feature can't seem to deal with this and gets stuck in a loop trying to install updates. So I just scripted it as below: update_atom() { local atom="${HOME}Downloads/atom.zip" echo -n "downloading…" curl --silent --fail --location 'https://atom.io/download/mac' > "${atom}" echo "✓" local..

In the Visual Studio 2015 standard library, the implementation of std::map::find is unnecessarily slow. The underlying reason seems to be similar to that for bug #2 - using operations on a generic tree class that doesn't take advantage of the restrictions places on std::map - that entry keys are unique. The issue in detail: std::map::find() calls std::_Tree::lower_bound, which calls _Lbound, which looks like _Nodeptr _Lbound(const _Oth....

std::map and std::unordered_map performance bug #2 - slow count

How do you tell if an entry with a specific key has been inserted in a std::map and std::unordered_map? Historically the way was to call find and compare against end , e.g. if(m.find(x) != m.end()) // If present: // do something With the introduction of C++11, there is another technique - calling count . if(m.count(x) != 0) // If present: // do something Count returns the number of entries with the given key. Note also that....
