Introduction Link to heading The “three peaks” in this context are the three highest peaks in Great Britain 1 : Scafell Pike, England, 978m Snowdon (Yr Wyddfa in Welsh), Wales, 1085m Ben Nevis (Bheinn Nibheis in Scottish Gaelic), Scotland, 1345m Some people do the “ national three peaks challenge ”, which is to climb all three in a short space of time (usually 24 hours, sometimes 3 days) but I did it over 3 years: Snowden ..

Most people are familiar with state machines and know their value. The average state machine library can help you model states, prevent invalid transitions, and produce diagrams that help even non-technical people understand how the code behaves. This article isn’t about making the case for state machines. It’s about how you take the concept of a state machine and have it work alongside your database models, leveraging your relational dat....

My Emacs (v29.1) was hanging when saving changes to .authinfo.gpg. Turns out, I ran into a known issue with a workaround. Downgrading gnupgp to a version older than 2.4.1 sorts things out. I'm on macOS. Downgraded by downloading the 2.4.0 Homebrew formula at https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/59edfe598541186430d49cc34f42671e849e2fc9/Formula/gnupg.rb and installing with: brew unlink gnupg brew install ~/Downloads..

Reviewing pull requests for snaps has been pretty terrible ever since snaps were introduced. There are a few very simple reasons: Building snaps locally in order to review is too much work. This is a fine place to start, but it doesn’t scale, especially if it takes any amount of time to build the snap in question (mine takes over an hour). Most CI engines use Docker. You can build snaps in docker with hacks and tweaks that sort of work som..

So, as mentioned earlier , Reddit made API changes, which had an impact on both Teddit n Libreddit. Teddit now states on its repo it's not actively maintained anymore. We figured this prolly means there won't be library updates etc. anymore, meaning we'll run into the 0-days becoming n-days problem eventually; i.e. security vulnerabilities found not being patched on time. Don't wanna afford that risk, so we decided shutting Teddit down. ....

In the previous post , I was able to utilize AVX to get some nice speedups. In general, I was able to save up to 57%(!) of the runtime in processing arrays of 1M items. That is really amazing, if you think about it. But my best effort only gave me a 4% improvement when using 32M items. I decided to investigate what is going on in more depth, and I came up with the following benchmark. Given that I want to filter negative numbers, what wo....

When choosing a tool for profiling Python code performance, should it focus on the CPU, GPU, memory, or individual lines of code? What if it looked at all those factors and didn't alter code performance while measuring it? This week on the show, we talk about Scalene with Emery Berger, Professor of Computer Science at the University of Massachusetts Amherst.

As I was getting ready to take an Emacs screenshot in the previous post , I figured I may want to redact email addresses before moving forward. I had a quick look for existing options and found redacted.el , built-in toggle-rot13-mode, and unpackaged/lorem-ipsum-overlay . All great options. I wanted a solution I could feed a single regular expression to obscure matches. I also wanted toggling capabilities, so I had a quick go at it… ....

While on Mastodon, I spotted @summeremacs looking into sending Emacs text selections to a Kindle via email . This sparked my interest as I previously looked into sending pdfs to my Kindle via mu4e . Kindle offers a neat service where you can email a file to your @kindle.com address and it automatically shows up in your Kindle library. I already do email from my beloved editor, and like most Emacs things, it's powered by elisp . I....

We pushed as much as we could on what can be done using scalar code. Now it is the time to open a whole new world and see what we can do when we implement this challenge using vector instructions.
