Introduction Summary Back in January, a colleague pointed out to me that GHC did not produce very efficient code for performing floating point abs. I have yet to produce a write-up of my notes about hacking on GHC: in summary it wasn’t as difficult as I had feared and the #ghc folks were extremely helpful. … Continue reading Haskell for Numerics?

The next major version of NPM brings a number of improvements over the previous versions in terms of speed, security, and a bunch of other nifty things . What stands out from the user's perspective however is the new lock file. Actually lock files . More on that in a second. For the uninitiated, a package.json file describes the top level dependencies on other packages using semver .

Context More mental contortions today to understand how sqlalchemy, pandas and database sessions fit together. I got the data into postgres finally, but without cleaning it. But still, phew , it works. Modules Organization ¶ In the sps package, I have: __init__.py database.py models.py stoneland.py utils.py __init__.py I moved all the functions into utils.py so here it’s just initializing logging and importing all relevant modules..

I downloaded your "Logbook". Great job. Much better than my feeble attempt. Question: How can I import aa CSV file into your logbook? I have almost 400 flights in my excel spreadsheet and I would hate to re-type this into the logbook.

Newcoder Scraping (Part 4) SQLAlchemy Session Basics Context I struggled with structuring database sessions in my python program. Reading through a few articles and tutorials on SQLAlchemy best practices, and studying Kenneth Reitz’s fantastic requests library, I realize I want a clean interface to the package. Kenneth does this by having an “api” module that wraps/uses the underlying classes/objects into neat little functions, so ..

Ten Haaf Project temporary, Geldersekade 30, Amsterdam June 2017 In this exhibition, three different scales of time are presented: elliptic(1), sluggish(2), looped(3). The Gait depict one being on a walk, each drawings being a step. All things, including the walker itself, are transforming at the point it is framed. A Man on The Bridge comes from a painting where one mysterious figure is walking down a bridge. In this publication..

750 words, 3 minutes. The Case For Default Deny What’s free, permanently reduces your exposure to a range of potential vulnerabilities, requires no maintenance, and takes only a few minutes to implement? Most web servers are installed to serve content to unauthenticated users on the Internet. Most only have a finite list of URLs or a specific number of web apps. I’ve always thought it strange that they install in a default-permit mode.

Context I stumbled across Sandi Metz’s talk a few days ago, and found time to watch it today. I’m no expert on Object Oriented design, so this was definitely an eye opener. Take Aways ¶ Don’t use conditionals for checking for nil. Don’t use inheritance to share code. Learn that non-physical/non-traditional things can be modeled as objects. Get into the habit of composing a class (object), then create other classes (roles) and inject ..

After three great days at the PyCon US 2017 in Portland, OR Hendrik and I decided to participate in the development sprints succeeding the conferece. The code sprints are an essential part of PyCon, and a chance to meet some of the maintainers and contributors of various open source projects. For us it was the first time attending a code sprint. The day before the sprint there was a session helping people to set up Git, Python (including vi..

The amount of value we assign to our time could be a self-fulfilling prophecy. If we value our time at $1000, then it is actually possible to achieve a payoff in the future, which when prorated for number our hours spent working towards it and adjusted for inflation and so on, will amount to $1000 for that very next hour. If I had a low value on my time, I would be more likely to waste it. I could be watching TV excessively, beyond the po....

Link to album This month I jumped on a plane to one of these places that I had expected not to see anytime soon, that always seems so exotic when you see and read about it. I was joining the 30th birthday party of a friend of my girlfriend’s which took place in Venice. As an added bonus the Biennale (Feneyjartvíeyringurinn) was happening this year, so we got to experience one of the more interesting art events in the world with friends.

I’m currently reading “The Linux Programming Interface” and I intend to use this blog as a way to share what i’m learning (to make sure I’m actually learning). In one of the first chapters there is an exercise about the reboot(2) syscall and some magic numbers that are used as parameters. The reboot(2) syscall has the following signature: int reboot ( int magic, int magic2, int cmd, void * arg); As can be read from ..

Spam emails try to get through filters by having slightly different content, such as writing “incredible” and “fantastic” interchangeably. For this, a template with all the possibilities is created and processed before sending. But sometimes unprocessed templates get sent instead. The writing is quite {incredible|fantastic|marvelous| outstanding}: {Say|Tell} No To {Fat|Being Fat}: {Act Now|Act Fast} & Get {Instant|Quick|Incredible| F....

On the last Golang Barcelona meetup we decided to try new format of conversation and after the talk started open discussion on logging, tracing and metrics. The idea was to encourage people to read a very nice blog post by Peter Bourgon on this subject - “Metrics, Tracing and Logging” and discuss it in a free format. It went surprisingly well, and while most of the people were conscious about the topic, one thing seemed to be still co..

Context Based on the scraped data, I’m planning on building an API, that’ll sync with the inventory management database (IMS). Things are still fuzzy in my head. Hopefully writing this down helps. As of now, these are the different parts of the application. Stage 1: READ ONLY (No API) IMS ——> Scraper ——> Postgres ——> Utility Scripts Stage 2: READ ONLY IMS ——> Scraper ——> Postgres ——> API Server ——> [Front Ends]

PostgreSQL 9.5.6 Documentation SQLAlchemy 1.1.10 Documentation SQLAlchemy with PostgreSQL Blog Post Context Mostly I’ve worked on scrapers/crawlers and scripts, and those usually don’t require a full blown database. Flat file and/or MongoDB are usually sufficient. However, now that I’m building a database web service for a client, I need to get familiar with a relational database. Requirements ¶ Using sqlalchemy with a postgre..
