Replacing the cabin air filter is one of the most neglected yet easy-to-do maintenance items that car owners should do. It’s probably neglected because cars used to not have cabin air filters, and auto repair shops want to charge an arm-and-a-leg to replace them. The cabin air filter itself is fairly cheap.

I’ve been using Elixir’s Phoenix framework for a few years but most of my projects were on the older MVC style. Phoenix 1.3 introduced the concept of contexts (commonly known as bounded contexts). This changed the way you architect your applications.

We go through uses of the Python map function, when it's useful and its performance benefits, and get sidetracked into benchmarking different syntaxes for exponential expressions.

The original JMS spec first arrived in 2001 with JSR 914. At the time several enterprise messaging systems were already widely available however each had their own unique features and mechanisms which required software that wanted to talk on a given messaging bus to be tightly-coupled to the specific messaging system implementation in use. Given that "tightly-coupled" is something you want to avoid in your enterprise systems, there was a ..

A Recursive Feast In 1983, Douglas R. Hofstadter, author of "Gödel, Escher, Bach: An Eternal Golden Braid" wrote a series of articles on Lisp in Scientific American (later republished in the book Metamagical Themas , which is where I encountered them for the first time). While much of the writing focused on the nature of recursion in programming, the third and last article in the series provided an entertaining example of blurring th....

Many of our users have asked for it for quite a long time. Now, we finally took the time to setup a donation option. Since we started Hypriot in 2015, we received great attention from a growing community around Docker on ARMed devices. We received numerous “kudos” and nice words. Even though we greatly appreciate this until today, words do not enable us to pay our infrastructure bills. Now you have the option to support us materialistica....

This paper is a discussion around the issues faced by distributed systems when dealing with time, ordering and failures. This is particularly relevant with the work I am doing at the moment designing a very large distributed system that will need to scale massively.

Painting is quite old and hard to fool. –Tad Spurgeon In Living Craft , Spurgeon calls out time as the first "material" used to make paintings. He speaks of "extra-logical," emotional time, time experienced by the mind of the painter, rather than purely physical time measured by clocks. His remarks frame an invitation to contemplate how one experiences time in the studio and what time means to painters (and, by extension, viewers)....

Managing Email from Emacs. Surely that's crazy-talk, but hey… let's give it a try. Install offlineimap Need to sync via imap. Use offlineimap. I'm on macOS, so homebrew is king for installing: brew install offlineimap Before can configure offlineimap, we'll need to handle a few things first. Get a cert fingerprint Use openssl for getting a certificate fingerprint. From offlineimap's FAQ: SSL_CERT_DIR="" openssl s_client -connect i....

I wanted to set up a prometheus machine for me to monitor random stuff, but I was always postponing that because I didn’t want to use SSH port-forwarding, firewalls, create a VPC and/or setup an OpenVPN server or anything like that.

Halt and Catch Fire is an AMC television series that ran for four seasons from 2014-2017, and covers the culture and pivotal aspects of the computing industry from 1983 (just after the release of the IBM PC) to 1994 (when the Internet and World Wide Web exploded). You can binge watch it on Netflix if you like today, and trust me - you won’t be disappointed! Halt and Catch Fire is the best drama I’ve ever seen - an emotional rollercoaster..

Part of the snapcraft CLI’s development roadmap this cycle includes the ability to build snaps on distros other than Ubuntu. Part of that work includes investigating each plugin to determine if it’s possible to get it working on other distros. As a result, I’ve been looking into the Catkin plugin recently, using Fedora 27 as my proving ground (since that’s the distro with which I’m most familiar after Ubuntu). The first thing you’ll notice ..

There are lots of ways to improve your site’s performance. Serving your static assets from a CDN, using GZip or Brotli compression, and concatenating your CSS/JS files should be on the top of your list. One thing that may not be on your radar is lazy loading your images.

2200 words, 11 minutes. Engineering, Vol. 62, December 18 1896. “In 1882 I was in Vienna, where I met an American whom I had known in the States. He said: ‘Hang your chemistry and electricity! If you want to make a pile of money, invent something that will enable these Europeans to cut each others’ throats with greater facility.’” - Hiram Maxim. Selling arms during an arms race is such an interesting topic it warrants its own post.

Throughout the month of May, teams across Cerner’s Engineering space have welcomed 197 software interns to our campuses in Kansas City and Malvern. Ranging from rising seniors in high school to rising seniors in college, these interns will be working alongside Cerner’s full time engineers to enhance and expand upon their current skillsets. While interning at Cerner, these associates will experience firsthand the look and feel of a day in th..

An absolutely crucial part of the experience of being an engineer at SoundCloud is learning and growing as a person. Pretty much everyone we hire mentions this aspect as one of their main motivations for joining the company. And while retaining highly talented and motivated people and helping them develop is naturally valuable for SoundCloud as a company, it’s also profoundly beneficial for the employees themselves.

Happy with Emacs Plus builds on Mac. You get some eye-candy bonuses like transparent titlebars.

I was looking to add multiple tags (the declaration after the struct field) to a struct in Go such that I could have it defined in GORM and in JSON. This was much harder to find via any search engine I tried than I would have guessed. The answer thankfully is simple once you know and was provided to me by Josh of https://boyter.org/2017/03/golang-solution-faster-equivalent-java-solution/ fame. The trick is to define multiple tags but ..

TIL about the openwith package. It enables Emacs to defer to external programs for certain files. You choose which ones. Neat. (use-package openwith :ensure t :config (csetq openwith-associations '(("\\.\\(mp4\\|mp3\\|webm\\|avi\\|flv\\|mov\\)$" "open" (file)))) (openwith-mode 1))

This is a summary of a number of consensus algorithms currently being used in the Blockchain space. The most common at the moment is Proof of Work however this is slowly being replaced by other approaches that are more performant and don’t use all the Earth’s energy.
