Plans are worthless, but planning is everything – Dwight D. Eisenhower The value of a process is primarily derived from the process itself, not the output. Producing a slide deck or document on a topic requires hours of thought, multiple drafts and revisions, wordsmithing, and lots of research. This iterative process helps to clarify your thinking around a topic. The hours spent thinking deeply about a problem and continuously refin..

I recently wrote about using first-class functions to help make a BF interpreter . This is a follow-up post to describe a nifty solution to a tricky problem that made my program go 2–5× faster and put it about on-par with an interpreter written in pure C. A basic interpreter works by walking down the AST and evaluating nodes recursively: when the interpreter encounters an expression, it dispatches on the type of expression to decide how ....

Many corporations and agencies allocate a certain amount of their budget towards the creation of public artwork. For instance, New York’s Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) has funded nearly 300 permanent art installations since 1982 under the city’s “Percent for Art” law . If we question the effectiveness of the program, we immediately run into problems of measuring the subjective aesthetic value of the creations. However, we may....

This is a new major release of marginalia search, mostly leaning toward the technical side. Emphasis has been on ensuring the search engine has the technical capabilities to serve more types of queries, especially longer queries which it previously did not handle very well. Effort has also been put toward making sure it’s possible to install and run outside of docker. There is still some work to be done to streamline the installation pr..

By complex software I mean large programming projects, lots of files, lots of code. How should I start, what technical aspects do I need to know? I've heard that to make a big and well programmed software, you should know thoroughly the programming language you use, the data structure and algorithms, the optimization tools (like Big-O notation, for example) and the software architecture (probably, there are more aspects to consider). ..

I’ve always loved exploring nature on a good hike, whether it be with other people, my dog, or solo. Hiking builds both physique and mental clarity, and the “hiker’s high” is pure bliss. There are many things I’ve learned over the years that have helped me maximize my own hiking experience. Some I learned from trial-and-error, while others I learned from fellow hikers, my own physician, or from online hiking forums. This post summarizes a..

Plan 9 is Unix but more so. You write code in C and compile it to a native binary and run it as a process. All processes are in containers all the time, and nothing is outside the containers. Everything is virtualised, even the filesystem, and everything really is a file. Windows on screen are files. Computers are files. Disks are files. Any computer on the network can load a program from any other computer on the network (subject to permis....

When I started wood carving, the only sharpening method I remembered was from seeing my mother use some kind of smooth broken stone that she passed over the length of the knife blade before sacrificing a chicken. I also remember seeing my father use a very coarse stone wheel placed on a motor shaft which threw many sparks when he sharpened some large axe for splitting wood. I had neither of those around anymore in my rented place in the....

Python 3.13 is here! Our regular guests, Geir Arne Hjelle and Christopher Trudeau, return to discuss the new version. This year, Geir Arne coordinated a series of preview articles with members of the Real Python team and a showcase tutorial, "Python 3.13: Cool New Features for You to Try." Christopher's video course "What's New in Python 3.13" covers the topics from the article and shows the new features in action.

Have you come across the fancy async / await syntax of some programming languages? Not everyone has jumped onto the bandwagon1, but many popular languages out there support the feature (e.g. Python, Typescript, C#, and obviously Rust). How does it work under the hood, though? What kind of magic is your software doing when you await an asynchronous function? There’s lots to learn about the topic, so what would you say to enlightening ourselv..

Less than a month after seeing the Aurora Borealis for the first time during a holiday in Iceland , we saw them from our own back garden in the Fens. This time the lights were more of a blurry glow without any defining shapes, but they were quite bright at times, with a strong red hue easily visible to the naked eye. As best I can tell, the Kp-index was about 7 or 8 out of 9.

Wonderful book about writing content that people will resonate. Very simple approach, but that is not to say it is not easy. It will take work to implement, but I have no doubt it will work.

System administrators often use load averages to quickly assess whether a server is overloaded. These values are easily accessible in tools like uptime and top. However, load averages alone do not provide enough detail about which resource—CPU or I/O—may be causing the bottleneck, and they lack granularity in time and cgroup-specific data. According to man uptime: System load averages is the average number of processes that are either..

If your cloud application performs poorly or is unreliable, users will walk away, and your enterprise will suffer. To know what’s going on inside of your million-concurrent-user application (Don’t worry, you’ll get there!), you need observability. Observability gives you the insights you need to understand how your application behaves. As your application and architecture scale […] The post Best Practices for Optimizing Your Enterprise C..

A common code sample I like to write when learning a new language is to have multiple threads or processes “do something” on an interval. For example, publishing to Kafka or RabbitMQ, invoking a REST API, etc., as a way of simulating a multi-process worker system. As a starting point, I like to build these to simply output a string to the console and then build my way up from there.
