The following is written in my Personal capacity, and does not represent the views of the SpiderMonkey team, Mozilla, TC39 or any other broader group than just what’s between my ears. I wear no hats here. I want to propose a little thought experiment for the JS language. It’s pretty janky, there’s lots to quibble about, but I find myself coming back to this again and again and again. tl;dr : We should add user-defined primitives t....

Docker Hub has announced new pull limits starting 2024-04-01 . An easy way to get around that is to set up a pull-through cache. This can easily be done using CNCF Distribution . Here’s how I did that on NixOS:

My four-year-old son has declared 36 to be the best number. His reason: 36 is the only number (he knows of) that is both a square and a staircase number AND an up-and-down-staircase number. “Staircase numbers” are what he calls triangular numbers (numbers that are the sum of the first $n$ integers). This name comes from the blocks he has that can be arranged into a staircase. He also calls them “step squad” numbers thanks to Numberblocks.

Two weeks ago, the Washington Post reported that the U.K. government had issued a secret order to Apple demanding that the company include a “backdoor” into the company’s end-to-end encrypted iCloud Backup feature. From the article: The British government’s undisclosed order, issued last month, requires blanket capability to view fully encrypted material, not merely assistance … Continue reading Three questions about Apple, encryption, an..

I’ve been putting my work online in various formats for almost 20 years now. For most of that time, I’ve used extremely permissive licenses such as the MIT License to distribute my work in an attempt to promote usage and adoption. Now that I’m quite a bit older and experienced (you may say curmudgeony), let me tell you why I’m changing my tune and am adopting a Copyleft approach.

Before 400 million years ago, before the brutal winters, Chicago was once a land of perpetual summer. Warm, shallow seas covered the entire Mississippi Valley. Where skyscrapers now rise, coral reefs once bloomed. These reefs would turn into limestone, providing a solid foundation for those skyscrapers. Over the last million years, ice sheets swept down the valley and receded, draining Lake Michigan a little in the process each time. Glaci....

It’s time to present the solution to the JIT calculator challenge! If you missed it, here’s the original post in which I introduced it. It was a nice excuse to finally learn more about JIT compilation! I wasn’t alone in this, many people were nerd-sniped into implementing their own solutions and sent me their submissions. Thanks for participating! I’ll discuss them in a third blog post, to keep this one from becoming too long.

The main function provided by the yesod-form library for processing form submissions is runFormPost . As the name implies, this function processes POST requests. But what if you want to use a different verb, like PUT? The library is a little confusing in this way, because the post in runFormPost doesn’t actually refer to the HTTP method that triggered the execution of the handler code. The point of runFormPost is actually just about ....

Building software doesn’t need a large team, huge budget, or a perfect plan up front. Products should do less and work smarter by focusing on solving real problems and evolving with user feedback. The key is to create sustainable software by making smart, incremental improvements that truly meet users’ needs.

I took a run to the grave mounds at Gamla Uppsala today. It probably wasn’t the wisest decision, distance-wise - I hadn’t run properly in years, and this was a 7km run there, a walk around the grave mounds followed by a nice recharge fika at Odinsborg, and then a 7km run back.

I made some solid boring purchases this year. Fingerless gloves, a DualSense controller, and a proper toasty commando sweater. But this year, the best purchase went to a weighted blanket. Yeah, a blanket. It’s got pouches full of glass beads in it. Simple. … You ever tried taking a beauty shot of a grey blanket? I’ve heard a lot about weighted blankets over the last few years, and testimonies from a few friends lead me to keep....

A friend recently asked me to document some of my Nix(OS) workflows and any tips I might have about Nix and NixOS. This page will be structured more like a wiki page and less like a blog post. These notes come from me using Nix in NixOS and aren't meant as a "Nix 101". They are things that I find noteworthy and might be useful to newcomers.
