Comments Curiosity Sometimes our curiosity gets the best of us. I cannot count how many times I’ve run a command, changed a config, or pushed a button that burned me. Usually, I learn my lesson. Many times I’ve put up guardrails or warnings so other devs wouldn’t burn themselves in exactly the same way. People are very creative and until you remove the candle they’ll always find a way to learn on their own.

If you look back in history to the turn of the 20th century, you will find a lot of people wearing hats. Women wore some arguably pretty funny over the top hats. A while earlier, over the men were arguably funny top hats. This isn’t the first time men and women wore funny clothes. The aristocrats in 1680s France looked pretty silly too. The reason we do this, wear silly hats, is because it is fashionable. Compliance with the some perceive..

The origin of value, what NFTs are, and what comes next I was baffled by the rise of NFTs for quite some time. Why would people spend such exorbitant amounts on jpegs? The art is not even that good most of the time. If people wanted beautiful art, isn’t it more sensible to spend far less on local artists who will most likely produce much better art? Physical art, that is, not jpegs that anyone could “right click and save”.

It’s been a long time since I’ve posted regularly to the internet – short or long form. As I get older, I find I don’t enjoy publishing in Facebook or Twitter-sized snippets. So I decided to try and start blogging on a longer form again. My primary topic will be the various personal projects I’ve started working on in the last few years. None of this is to be seen as a review or endorsement of the products or software I’ve used. Some of i..

In a new study published in Ageing and Society, researchers Sam Carr and Chao Fang spent over 130 hours interviewing older people to understand what it’s like to get old and cope with loneliness. The Conversation UK features their report, appropriately titled Loneliness, loss and regret: what getting old really feels like . We found that ageing brings about a series of inevitable losses that deeply challenge people’s sense of connectio..

Comments End results When I think about how I create software it feels very haphazard. Some days are better than others but I rarely make the progress I want. By the time I’m ready to share with someone I realize how much a week or a month of steady progress adds up. The gif was created by making folds and creases in paper and then using stop motion to put them together. Progress must have been slow but the end result is stunning.

Netlify Functions are serverless code that are easy to deploy. Here I want to show how to program a simple Netlify Function to send a contact message from my website to an email address and log it into an Airtable sheet.

You might have noticed that command output of PreStop hook won’t appear in pod logs and only thing you can see is whether the PreStop hook command failed or not is by checking kubernetes events log. So how can we see the PreStop hook command output in pod logs? By default container engine only redirects the stdout/err of the main process (running with PID 1) to the logging driver. Since the PreStop hook runs as a separate process the ou....

Comments Self made complexity Everyone is familiar with their own complexity. I’m sure this clock makes sense to the person who built it. When you’re the one who creates it it doesn’t seem complex but perfectly logical. Complexity shows up in our daily lives, in code, in systems, and especially organizations. Fighting complexity isn’t always the right solution, but finding a complexity that can be reasoned about and understood by others ..

Where are you along the path of learning Python? Do you feel like you're making progress? What are ways you can put the learning path into a more precise focus? This week on the show, we talk with previous guest Martin Breuss about his recent article "How Long Does It Take to Learn Python?"

This post doesn’t contain full context of the works performed, only benchmarking part I had to test how number of iterations impacts login request time to KeyCloak and if or how we can improve it. After investigating a few other options I decided to check what’s the difference for password hashing times using default hashing mechanism in KeyCloak. I found and extracted parts of password hashing mechanism from KeyCloak to my repo, developed ..

Comments Wings (1927) The gif is from a silent film I’ve never seen but it won the first ever Academy Award (1930). Ninety years later I would have a hard time reproducing that shot, and I love the vision someone had to make it happen. It reminded me of one of Clark’s laws; I’ll list all three for you here:

Over the last two posts I explored the process of extracting a very large dataset (an XML export of Wikipedia) into various types of databases (an RDBMS1 and a Graph database) that I can run locally as a precaution against being marooned in the past should some portal, machine, or ancient artifact that send me careening backwards in history. While these two databases have satisfied my need to quickly look up information and find relational ..

David Fowler has a very informative gist up on GitHub. It’s titled [Migration to ASP.NET Core. NET6][3] and it’s filled with details, recipes and FAQs on migrating an ASP.NET Core 5 web app to ASP.NET Core 6 1 . The focus is on the new, streamlined hosting model, also known as Minimal APIs 2 . To be clear, You don’t have to move to the new model. As the FAQ section emphasizes: Do I have to migrate to the new hosting model

I did math for the first time when I was 29 years old. This isn’t a self-deprecating snipe or feigned humility. I did math for the first time when I was 29 years old. When I finally did it for the first time – at least, the first recorded time – I didn’t know it had happened. It was six years later reading Paul Lockhart’s excellent piece entitled, “A Mathematician’s Lament” that I realized what I’d done; I’d finally done math all those ye....

Comments When code works Sometimes I’m equally surprised as this baby when my code works. Especially when I either do it on the first try or I fight with it for days and finally figure it out. It’s exciting and then I try to figure out why it works. Know where to look for a problem I struggled with something for the new 123dev website for a few nights this past week. I thought the problem was because of my lack of CSS skills and I spent ..

How do you make a website look good when you can't know how that website will look? It turns out this is one of the fundamental questions we work with at Squarespace. Since one of our goals is to make it easy for our users to create beautiful websites, we need to walk a delicate balance between constraints and freedom. So, how do we navigate that balance?

During his previous life around the world, Antoine has seen many places, met many interesting people, done exciting things. For the last three years, however, he’s been alone in Bouville. He has no friends and no desire to make some or meet..

From time to time I will run across small problems or challenges in my day job which seem as though they should be simple enough but get stuck in my mind until they are fully investigated. This is one such issue I ran into a while ago: How can a verilog model determine the drive strength of a net value in SystemVerilog? When I initially ran into this problem, I thought it would require a quick search through the LRM and I’d be on my way. ..

Comments I still don’t know how this works I was at Disney Animation when they first showed us the animatronics for the new Beauty and the Beast ride for Tokyo Disneyland. I never saw this transformation and still don’t understand how it works. Honestly a lot of code I write feels the same way. The fact that I can tell transistors what to do with any resemblance of English language is pretty magical.

I’ve not written one of those at all this year. Not surprisingly, the most productive year for this website was 2020… thanks global pandemic…? I’ve posted the RFID Explained blog post. I’m trying to gather everything I’ve learned, while working on my RFID project, in one place. This is an assumption but in the maker’s space a lot of technologies are just an Arduino libraries. What I mean by that is that very few people actually learn ho....
