What does this program do? At the most reduced level, one could say that a program’s behavior is defined by the effect it has on the hardware running it. That’s not very useful however; when we’re programming, we often have to deal with legacy code and tease out the original intent of the code. Saying that the meaning of a program is entirely encapsulated by the code is saying that the intent and the implementation are the same. They so r....

I’ve been looking at how I can improve the performance of an internal service written in Python. I was wondering if there is a way to speed things up without rewriting large part of the code or using another programming language to rewrite part of the code. Then I remember reading about Pyston (a faster and highly-compatible with Cpython from Dropbox) on HackerNews and this seems like an opportunity to try it out. I’ve integrated into t..

Last month I wrote about Cyclic Workflows with Cylc and StackStorm and how few workflow managers support cyclic workflows. I was surprised today while reading Prefect documentation to see this paragraph: Most workflow frameworks act as if looping is impossible (stressing the Acyclic part of the DAG), but it’s actually trivial to implement. We simply dynamically unroll the loop, similar to how RNN gradients are sometimes computed.

Another rainy day. SIM Cards!! Another day, another interesting HN post. I saw this post What is AT&T doing at 1111340002? . And the top was very interesting to me. Even in relatively technical circles, like HN, many people are not aware of this and I use every opportunity I have to reiterate: A SIM card is a full-blown computer with its own CPU and memory. Your carrier can upload and run arbitrary code without your con..

Flo, our dog, spent her whole fifteen-years long life with us. Many, many times after she passed away, I wondered if she lived a happy dog life or not. In The posthuman dog (Aeon), Jessica Pierce poses a fascinating question that somehow helps find answers to my troubling question: If humans were to disappear from the face of the Earth, what might dogs become? And would they be better off without us?

Tonight someone opened a ticket on the Eve repository. I jotted down a quick reply and was about to hit the Comment button when I thought a more articulated reply was in order. I also want it published on my website. So the question is: Is Eve still maintained? My reply goes like this: Hello, yes, Eve is in ‘maintenance mode’, as I call it. I don’t actively develop new features anymore. Still, I am more than willing to code-r..

Let’s control volume with a (moderately) fancy knob! AS5601 might be my favourite sensor right now. It’s an on-axis magnetic rotary position sensor. It generates a signal typical for encoders, but it does it by detecting the change in a magnetic field of a diametrically magnetized, rotating magnet. The knob acts as a USB HID device. That means that, currently, it can do everything that a 2 button keyboard could do.

This is a response to the post “Making Gemini Easy” over on ~tomasino, and the title is a bit tongue-in-cheek haha-but-no-really. gemini://tilde.team/~tomasino/journal/20211103-making-gemini-easy.gmi I think the idea that we need to shield the users from how technology works is a terrible, terrible mistake. It disempowers the users, and concentrates power in the hands of a technological elite, and that divide is only going to grow. ..

Git had a bug from version 2.33 onwards, fixed in 2.35. (Thanks to Richard Laager’s comment for the exact version numbers.) “Stashing” then “unstashing” untracked files (new files you’ve just created) loses those new files, if any of the existing tracked files has a conflict. Let me explain.
