When introducing 3rd party libraries (like BugSee), often their configuration is dumped into your build.gradle/application:onCreate and mixed with everything else. This post shows you how to have cleaner, more maintainable code by creating your own… Read more of Android Bugsee SDK: Ignore the Docs, Do THIS Instead → The post Android Bugsee SDK: Ignore the Docs, Do THIS Instead first appeared on Blundell .

This is the 7th episode of season four. I started this season in January of 2024. My intent was to document the process of writing a book. But even though this season is over a year long, there have only been 7 episodes, and that’s because I took a 9 month break. I want to talk more about what happened during that break, and how I was derailed from my plans, and how I recovered. The Four Disciplines of Execution [affiliate link] On ..

This should be something useful for Linux kernel explorers and eBPF nerds! Last year I released a tool called syscallargs that walked through the Linux /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/syscalls directory tree and allowed you to query and list available system calls in your current system from the command line. And it printed out syscall argument names and their datatypes, so it has helped me avoid opening man-pages (or web-pages) a..

This post is part of the GenAI Series. In my previous post, I introduced OpenAI’s image APIs and used them to create avatars. Today, I’m diving into another LLM service, ClaudeAI, which has gained traction for its speed and sharp analytical responses. I asked Claude to brainstorm ideas for my next blog post about itself. Among many fantastic suggestions, I chose Customer Behavior Analysis. Finding a suitable dataset on Kaggle was easy, but ....

Great things do not happen on the first try. Many musicians record 50+ songs to select the 12 best ones for their album release. The rest gets trashed. Similarly, many business owners have a graveyard of failed projects before they finally hit something succesful. Maybe it was having the right co-founder, or the right contact […]

Ready Player Mode , which began as a tiny media-viewing experiment , has now become my daily music player. Along the way, I moved from regular daily streaming to buying and playing music offline, relying on the odd streaming service exclusively for discovery. This setup's been working great so far. I get unrestricted playback (for life) with the occasional discovery session whenever I see fit. Setup Ready Player Mode runs in Emacs. You....

After several years working on Supercede, I’ve had time to reflect on some of the technical choices we made. Some of them worked well, others I’d approach differently if I were starting again. Here’s what I regret, and why. Elm Was the Wrong Choice for Our UI When I started working on Supercede, I had the idea that any more complex parts of the UI should be written in Elm, rather than with React or perhaps just managing all DOM interactio....

Along came DeepSeek-R1 [1] last week, an open-source large language model (LLM) reportedly rivaling OpenAI’s top offerings, sending shockwaves through the industry and generating much excitement in the tech world. It apparently started as a side project at a Chinese hedge fund before being spun out. Its efficacy, combined with claims of being built at a fraction of the cost and hardware requirements, has seriously challenged BigAI’s noti..

I have the fortune to review a few important blog posts every year and the biggest value I add is to call out sentences or sections that make no sense. It is quite simple and you can do it too. Without clarity only those at your company in marketing and sales (whose job it is to work with what they get) will give you the courtesy of a cursory read and a like on LinkedIn. This is all that most corporate writing achieves. It is the norm a....

DeepSeek R1 is a large language model which employs test-time compute to generate a response. Unlike many decoder-based models in the past which simply continue the given text (and may be fine-tuned for conversation), R1 generates reasoning tokens before the final answer is given. According to the researchers, its performance is on par with OpenAI’s O1 model. Terminology First, I will briefly describe some terminology related to training ..

Building Cross-Language Apps: Direct QML to gRPC Without C++

TLDR: A recent Qt update let you do gRPC calls directly from QML, allowing to interact with gRPC from the UI without requiring C++. Qt is a rich ecosystem for UI development, but its roots are in C++. QML is a declarative language specialized in designing user interface applications on top of Qt. Qt supported gRPC for a long time but only via C++ code, recently they added gRPC calls directly from QML/Qt Quick.

Earlier this month, I used Claude to port (parts of) an Emacs package into Rust, shrinking the execution time by a factor of 1000 or more (in one concrete case: from 90s to about 15ms). This is a variety of yak-shave that I do somewhat routinely, both professionally and in service of my personal computing environment. However, this time, Claude was able to execute substantially the entire project under my supervision without me writing almo..

RavenDB is meant to be a self-managing database, one that is able to take care of itself without constant hand-holding from the database administrator. That has been one of our core tenets from the get-go. Today I checked the current state of the codebase and we have roughly 500 configuration options that are available to control various aspects of RavenDB’s behavior. These two statements are seemingly contradictory, because if we have so....

More than ten years ago, I bought a MAINGEAR Potenza mainly for gaming. It was a decent enough machine, but fell out of use over the years and ended up serving as a Proxmox testbed until I decided against its power-hungry third-generation i7-3770 and continued hosting via a much more recent Intel NUC. I still had a Streacom FC8 fanless ITX case lying around, hoping to turn the motherboard and processor from the Maingear into a fast consol..

The Roottrees are Dead was released on January 15, 2025 and it did much better than I ever expected. The reception has been amazing. In just over a week, the game hit the magic mark of 500 reviews on Steam, and triggered the “Overwhelmingly Positive” status. On BlueSky, Bloomberg writer Jason Schreier blew me away when he posted : “Seven days into 2025 and I’ve already played what I suspect will be one of my favorite games of the ye..

Last year, I published a simple demo app that visualizes embedding vectors of a bunch of cat, dog and airplane photos as heatmaps. It’s a simple concept and does not have much practical use. I built it mostly for fun, but also for some “learning by doing” too. Today I’m releasing a completely new version of my CatBench Vector Search Playground app! https://github.com/tanelpoder/catbench With this new app, you can interactively ..
