I’m running really low on build minutes on Github, which is why I haven’t been blogging much, or in fact at all, the past week. I've also had quite a few administrative things to take care of, which is always a bit stressful. Last time I wrote, I was mid allergy attack . Well I recovered fully from that a few days ago, but today it’s another allergy day. Sneezing, sneezing, so much sneezing. Burning face. Dripping nose. Everything feels bl....

I’m presenting at the WPC 2025 Conference on December 3rd in Milan. My session topic is Feature Flag Management and Dynamic Configurations in C#. I will use a Web API as an example project, and since I’ll be using curl live to query it, I’ll need to pipe responses through jq to obtain nicely formatted JSON for the audience. The problem with jq is that it crashes on 400s or 500s because the response body is empty in those cases. Erro..

Intel's new CEO, Lip-Bu Tan, has made listening to customers a top priority, saying at Intel Vision earlier this year: "Please be brutally honest with us. This is what I expect of you this week, and I believe harsh feedback is most valuable." I'd been in regular meetings with Intel for several years before I joined, and I had been giving them technical direction on various projects, including at times some brutal feedback. When I finall....

Last night we went to Bologna 1 to see La Niña in concert, a birthday present from the kids to Serena. She loves this artist, whom I didn’t really know before last night. The concert was very nice, even though, not knowing her, I was initially confused, I think by the local folk festival atmosphere, if such a thing exists. It took me a few minutes to understand what I was looking at and what I was listening to.

log/slog is no longer new in Go. It was introduced in 2023 with Go 1.21. But it is very nice for structural logging. Here’s how to make that structural logging work better for you:

I started using Typst about a month ago to write my dissertation proposal. I had seen Typst before and decided to keep an eye on it as it matured. While it still is very much in development, it is mature enough that I was able to rewrite my dissertation proposal from an org-mode → LaTeX pipeline to pure Typst in about an hour with no major hiccups. In fact, most things got simpler as a consequence of using Typst. Typst is a type....

Repurposed HN comment. ) The BSD/Linux thing was there right from the start, but it was more complicated than a simple us-vs-them. The thing is that there were a whole bunch of competing commercial Unix-like OSes in the 1980s. But there were other prejudices as well. In Proper Grown-Up Unix terms, PCs were toys, poorly-made weird little things that were no more than office equipment. So nothing worth using ran on the 386. There wa....
