Humans drink some coffee, but moreso, we drink tea. The United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization claims that tea is the world’s most-consumed beverage after water. Comparing the Statistia pages on tea and coffee , you’ll see 2025 global consumption estimates of 7.75 billion kg of tea and 7.47 billion kg of coffee – nearly the same by weight. But when you consider that a cup of tea uses around 2-5 grams of leaves, and a cup of c..

Update: Added macOS Trash integration. While GNU/Linux had been my operating system of choice for many years, these days I'm primarily on macOS. Lucky for me, I spend most of my time in Emacs itself (or a web browser), making the switch between operating systems a relatively painless task. I build iOS and macOS apps for a living, so naturally I've accumulated a handful of macOS-Emacs integrations and tweaks over time. Below are some o....

Background As described in the second blog post of Revenue Automation series, Revenue Data Pipeline processes a large amount of data via complex logic transformations to recognize revenue. Thus, developing a robust production testing and integration strategy was essential to the success of this project phase. The status quo testing process utilized the Redshift Connector for data synchronization once the report was generated and published t..

One Amazon engineer said his team was roughly half the size it had been last year, but it was expected to produce roughly the same amount of code by using A.I.” — New York Times, May 25, 2025 Generative AI is transforming software engineering. Used well, it can boost productivity, uncover solutions faster, and streamline development workflows. I’m all for that. But in the rush to adopt AI, we’re also seeing the resurgence of a long-debunke..

When building RavenDB 7.0, a major feature was Vector Search and AI integration.We weren't the first database to make Vector Search a core feature, and that was pretty much by design. Not being the first out of the gate meant that we had time to observe the industry, study new research, and consider how we could best enable Vector Search for our users. This isn’t just about the algorithm or the implementation, but about the entire mindset....

At work we're so absorbed in the difficulties we face that it becomes easy to forget what we appreciate and what we value in our coworkers. On social media we can be so focused on our own work that we forget to interact with others'. I have heard so many times from founders that they switch between heads down building, disappearing from the community, and then pop up to talk about what they've built. Engineers often say the exact same thi....

One of the first ever Redis libraries for Go was hosted at github.com/garyburd/redigo. It has been deprecated for some time and has now been finally removed altogether from Github. If you still have a dependency on this project, this means that will be broken now. github.com/gomodule/redigo should be a drop-in replacement for github.com/garyburd/redigo. If you […]

In reply to SylvanoMTL. @SylvanoMTL - try to set the uifigure's position to (-1000,-1000,100,100) - this will hide the figure, although the user will still see something in the Desktop taskbar.

We get laptops with annoying cooling fans because we keep buying them

I don’t like laptops with loud cooling fans in them. Quite a controversial position, I know. But really, they do suck. A laptop can be great to use, have a fantastic keyboard, sharp display, lots of storage and a fast CPU, and all of that can be ruined by one component: the cooling fan. Laptop fans are small, meaning that they have to run faster to have any meaningful cooling effect, which means that they are usually very loud and oft....
