Spent much of today getting a Live AROS USB key working, which wasn't trivial... it needed a USB 3 key, which I had to go and buy specially. But after that... I am so tired. I want to write about new stuff in software, but there feels to be no area not contaminated with "AI". I get the depressing feeling that computing is just being eaten up by bloody "AI". Virtually every press release I've seen this week has been AI. Mozilla adopts....

Since I know there are some folks who read this but may not read my Register stuff. It's here: https://github.com/lproven/usb-dos I added a "Buy me a coffee" tip jar effort. :-) I am considering updates. Robert Sawyer was kind enough to send a list of suggestions and I should act on them. I have also received requests for PC-Write. Copies are still out there. Any other writer-oriented apps that anyone would like to see, ..

Most C++ and Rust thread pools run 10x slower than OpenMP on fork-join workloads. Fork Union closes the gap to 20% with 300 lines, dodging mutexes and CAS.

You’re probably already using a few tools to automatically check your software — like linters, automated tests, code formatters, or a type-checking compiler. These are all great, and we use them at Supercede too. The more checks we can run, the better. And the earlier in the development process, the better. What I’ve noticed over the years though, is that we tend to focus on more advanced, often esoteric forms of analysis. With training....

It’s crazy. This iteration of my blog has been going on nearly ten years now (and I’ve even imported posts from my old blog , too). I’ve been doing these blog stat reports regularly every 20th for over seven years.

'[1852] In the regiment there was a Lieutenant Slaughter who was very liable to sea-sickness. It almost made him sick to see the wave of a table-cloth when the servants were spreading it. 'Soon after his graduation, Slaughter was ordered to California and took passage by a sailing vessel going around Cape Horn. The vessel was seven months making the voyage, and Slaughter was sick every moment of the time, never more so than while lying at....

This is a simple way to remove all the extraneous noise from a Google search. All you need to do is append “&udm=14” to any Google search url and it will take out the new AI summary and also the sponsored links.

Puts debugging is the best. In this tutorial, I’ll walk you through my workflow for debugging Rails codebases using a custom toolkit inspired by Rust. We will also discuss how to smuggle your debug tools, through even the most rigorous code review process. Why and how to puts debug Ruby code? I’ve never been a fan of (or properly learned) using debug breakpoints. While I sometimes use ruby debug , most of the time, I’m a puts debugger .....

There were images I did not understand, but which fell on my mind with such slow opening grandeur that once I distinctly heard the clean and fundamental cracking of trees. First the image, then the thing; first the word in its taste and smell and touch, then the thing it meant, when you were calm […]

MCP (Model Context Protocol) [1] is all the rage now. Introduced by Anthropic about four months ago, it has already been accepted as an open standard and has seen widespread adoption, including by major AI companies and prominent AI tool makers. There is even a directory [2] listing over 13,000 MCP implementations. Technically, it is a very simple API spec that facilitates RPC-like (Remote procedure call) communication between an AI..

Introduction In part 1 we took a higher level view on serialization in general and JSON in specific. In part 2 we looked at emitting JSON. In part 3, we’ll look at an issue you might encounter when consuming JSON, Zero vs NULL field values. To clarify the definition of NULL, this means the absence of value. So here is the question: Given a field in a Go struct set to its zero value, how do you know that zero value was set by the ..

As a prelude to what is to follow, I must say that while I am not a professional mathematician (I have a masters degree in theoretical physics and work in the software world), I do enjoy reading the occasional textbook or review paper, and wandering through its pages in a type of reverie, like walking through a glade looking at flowers. My wife has opinions about this - I suppose most of us who compare textbooks and theorems to forests and ....

When it comes to programming LLM tools, I've seen modes of interaction in the form of code completion, patch application, improvement suggestions, and text chat amongst others. Text chat is everywhere. In the context of text chat UX, I haven't really come across huge differentiators across offerings. That's not to say they don't exist. The landscape moves fast and there are far too many products out there for me to check out, thus my ques....

RST defaults to high This is an addendum to the article about Espressif’s automatic reset. In that article, we observed the effect of the RST pin on the ESP32-S2-Saola-1RI board: I skipped over this topic quickly, so I am now taking the time to explain how the RST pin manages to have a defined behavior […] The post The ESP32-S2 reset pin appeared first on Quentin Santos .

AI is rapidly transforming how we work, learn, and communicate. But as it evolves, we face new questions: What decisions should we let AI make? Who is responsible when it gets things wrong? And how do we ensure that the technology reflects – not replaces – our values and ideas? In this post, we’ll explore the ethical dimensions of artificial intelligence (AI) – and ideally, leave with more questions than answers.
