Since I maintain a few projects that deal with source code one of the things I needed badly was a way to parse and understand gits .gitignore and .ignore files in order to get as much accuracy as possible. I had previously tried using code I lifted from The Platinum Searcher albeit with some fixes to avoid crashes. Annoyingly however it never implemented glob’s correctly. I tried searching around for another implementation but none appe..

Hi, Im Chinesischen gibt es ein berühmtes Sprichwort: “Die beste Zeit, einen Baum zu pflanzen, war vor 20 Jahren. Die zweitbeste Zeit ist jetzt.” In der Softwareentwicklung kennen wir das doch auch. Immer wieder beschweren wir uns über die Fehler, die wir damals gemacht haben. “Müsste man mal machen.” Das ist so ein Satz, der in jeder zweiten Retrospektive fällt. Technische Schuld häuft sich an. “Müsste man mal machen.”

Today I learned the difference between flotsam and jetsam. I was listening to Dimension 20 and I had actually never heard of either of those words before. A Google search led me to NOAA’s NOA website, which defined the difference between the terms. Apparently it is often used as a phrase, sort of like “odds and ends” but “flotsam and jetsam.” But there is a distinction: Flotsam is defined as debris in the water that was not deliberately th..

A variable's name is more important than its type, so the name should be more prominent and come first in declarations.

I've jumped on the Emacs 29 bandwagon! Mickey Petersen has a great rundown of What's New in Emacs 29.1 . Now every so often, I need to take a quick peek at an sqlite3 table. Emacs 29.1 ships sqlite-mode , which can help with that. Use sqlite-mode-open-file to open a database. Pressing RET on a table shows its content via sqlite-mode-list-data. DEL does as you'd expect and delete a row via sqlite-mode-delete.

These summer weeks have been amazing for stargazing. I’ve moved to the country and I’ve been able to stay in a darker place than in the past, so I could enjoy a much better vault of the sky. While sitting there, I recalled some of the Norse creation myths I had read in a very interesting book 1 , which introduced me to a stunning and complex mythology. I want to make a quick recap here of some of the coolest facts I noted down, but I ....

More and more my son is reading on his own. And my daughter is trying to mimic her older brother and “read” on her own, too.

In the few areas where I have a clue about what people are thinking about, there's words that make me wonder whether this person is either clueless or assuming I'm clueless. One example is that in New York City, if you ask someone what their favorite type of food is, and they respond with "Asian", it sets off a few alarm bells. I'm not a very sophisticated restaurant-goer, and even I know that a description like that is so broad as to be ....

Intro This is the final piece of a 3 part series where I talk about theatre engineering for the play You’re Too Cute to Be An Astronaut . In the first part of this series you can find out about the motivation for the play and its audio design. The second part explains how I used Home Assistant to function as a show controller for the play. In this post I show how I created a remote controlled countdown clock using ESPHome .

I’m a browser “with the latest in header compression”, fetching a web page. I race a TCP-based ALPN run against an HTTPS record lookup (Chromium’s behavior). Either the HTTP/2 ALPN wins the race, or the HTTPS DNS record does not exist. Both are, and will remain, common scenarios. So I fetch the page over HTTP/2. This is the initial request; dynamic HPACK hasn’t kicked in. I download a 1.56kb HTTP response header: Permissions-Policy: accele....

At the time of writing, I’m on my third project where I’m tasked with modernizing a C++ legacy codebase. Nothing wrong with legacy, and there is nothing wrong with C and C++-98 and C++-03, but the language has evolved and there are new patterns and new algorithms for doing most things. This is a multipart series where pieces will be published when they are ready.

If you’re curious, you can watch the video for a more in-depth explanation of the holiday, but I’ll give a quick explanation here. Basically, there was a teenage girl with cancer named Esther who was a nerdfighter (the name of the vlogbrothers community). Unfortunately she succumbed to the cancer, but before she died, she wanted to name a holiday in ....

Imagine, for a moment, that you are walking along a dirt road in the seventh century Middle East. The sun is hot, the air is dry, your feet are tired. It’s been a long journey, by boat and foot, from your home in Constantinople to where you find yourself now: outside of the walls of the mountainous river city of Antioch. In the bright sunlight, you strain your eyes to catch a distant glimpse of the sight you’ve come all this way to see – an..
