This week marked the 10-year anniversary of Docker. Let’s look back at how much has changed, and hear some stories about what people experienced while moving toward the containerized world we live in today.

The goal of this post is to explain the, often confusing, topic of recursion using a modified example of the process of killing a Minecraft slime. Typically, teachers will use examples like the Fibonacci sequence and the Towers of Hanoi to explain recursion. However, students often find these examples confusing because the underlying concepts are foreign to their prior experiences. My hope is that using the more relatable example of killing..

Have you explored Python's collections module? Within it, you'll find a powerful factory function called namedtuple(), which provides multiple enhancements over the standard tuple for writing clearer and cleaner code. This week on the show, Christopher Trudeau is here, bringing another batch of PyCoder's Weekly articles and projects.

Since few weeks I use restic as my backup tool. I made the switch from rdiff-backup due to its slow speed and frequent erorrs. Advantages of restic is its support for different backends (ssh, s3, rest server, etc), encryption and deduplication. To simplify my entire backup process, I choose to use the autorestic. With this tool you can configure restic using a YAML file, which is a lot easier than having to remember all the CLI options each..

Quoting the last paragraph from Italo Calvino’s Invisible Cities : The inferno of the living is not something that will be; if there is one, it is what is already here, the inferno where we live every day, that we form by being together. There are two ways to escape suffering it. The first is easy for many: accept the inferno and become such a part of it that you can no longer see it. The second is risky and demands constant vigilance ..

In general I don’t like to fuss over code, but this is exactly what I’ve been doing in preparation of the NLnet funded work. I’ve spent the last month restructuring Marginalia’s code base. It’s not completely done, but I’ve made great headway. Things got the way they got because in general for experimental solo-development projects, I think it makes sense to be fairly tolerant of technical debt. Since refactoring is something that is ex..

Here are some benchmarks I ran to compare the speed of running a list of regexes on all the Markdown files in my Obsidian folder (210 when I wrote this). The benchmark compares running the regexes on memory-mapped files versus loading the file contents as a string and running the regexes on that string. I’m using hyperfine to run the benchmarks. Considerations When we memory-map a file, we work with bytes. Python can run regexes over th..

Looking back on the years of my life this morning, I was thinking it would be an interesting exercise to review my work experience from earlier in my life, before college graduation and before the true start of my professional career, and examine one thing I am grateful for from each experience. I think it is important to look back to humble beginnings and the lessons learned through hard work and sweat.

Since my time at the university, pursuing a Computer Science degree, I have always been fascinated by programming languages and the tooling around them: compilers, IDEs, package managers, etc. Eventually, that got me involved as a hobbyist in the development of the Rust compiler and rust-analyzer, but I never got the chance to work professionally on programming language tooling… until two months ago! In January, the nice folks at prefix.dev..

Some years ago I came across a blog post that described programmers as being in one of three camps. It’s a fun, short post, so I encourage you to go read that real quick, but the gist of it is that programmers generally fall into one of three categories according to what they primarily value: Applied mathematicians, who appreciate elegant solutions to problems. Program execution on von Neumann machines is incidental. These programmers....

Zerocalcare is an Italian cartoonist whose strips, especially in the form of illustrated books, have surged to an iconic level in the last decade. His drawing is excellent, but it is with his writing that, I think, he conquered fame. His stories are fun to read and yet profound and vibrant, all at the same time. Also, he often touches on themes nobody else covers, at least not in the comics world. It was the case with Kobane Calling: Greet..

Indexing Fediverse posts should be “mandatory opt”, not opt-in or opt-out. Account creation should offer a few checkboxes: indexing could be done by “your instance”, “all federating instances”, and “traditional search engine crawlers”; for each of these, users should be able to choose “none”, “public posts only”, and “all”. Alternatively: there should be a “discoverable” post visibility option that opts you into more advanced discovery opti..
