I built this subway style data visualization of Ludwig Wittgenstein’s Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus for Philosophy professor David Stern and graduate fellows Philip Ricks and Landon Elkind at the University of Iowa. They came to me with an Excel file sketch of an idea they had about a brand new way to read this seminal philosophical work. […]

Minimalist interpreters have always attracted me. First of all, they are a good fit for embedded systems whenever you need a custom domain-specific language. If one needs a scripting language for a microcontroller - there is not so many choices. Instead there are lots of constraints, like the size of the compiled binary code, RAM usage and memory management. Of course the language itself is important, too. Lua, a very stable, pragmatic and ..

A bit over two years ago I blogged about migrating to Octopress from Wordpress, this time I'll blog about migrating to Hugo from Octopress. I started messing around with Hugo because I was experimenting with Go and wanted to take a look at a simple and complete Go project. I ended up liking the simplicity of setting up a new site and decided to try porting my blog to it.

I usually attend quite a few meetups in Melbourne, in the areas of entrepreneurship and software development, but recently all planets aligned perfectly and I was fortunate enough to go to NDC Sydney – my first attendance at an International The post Observations from NDC Sydney 2016 appeared first on FullStack - Ofer Zelig's Blog .

My work setup requires a non-administrator account for normal login. I have sudo access set up for my normal user. For some reason, Atom's autoupdate feature can't seem to deal with this and gets stuck in a loop trying to install updates. So I just scripted it as below: update_atom() { local atom="${HOME}Downloads/atom.zip" echo -n "downloading…" curl --silent --fail --location 'https://atom.io/download/mac' > "${atom}" echo "✓" local..

In the Visual Studio 2015 standard library, the implementation of std::map::find is unnecessarily slow. The underlying reason seems to be similar to that for bug #2 - using operations on a generic tree class that doesn't take advantage of the restrictions places on std::map - that entry keys are unique. The issue in detail: std::map::find() calls std::_Tree::lower_bound, which calls _Lbound, which looks like _Nodeptr _Lbound(const _Oth....

std::map and std::unordered_map performance bug #2 - slow count

How do you tell if an entry with a specific key has been inserted in a std::map and std::unordered_map? Historically the way was to call find and compare against end , e.g. if(m.find(x) != m.end()) // If present: // do something With the introduction of C++11, there is another technique - calling count . if(m.count(x) != 0) // If present: // do something Count returns the number of entries with the given key. Note also that....

I really enjoyed Felipe Hoffa’s post on Analyzing GitHub issues and comments with BigQuery . Which got me wondering about my favorite subject ever, The Art of Closing . I wonder what the stats are for the top 15 projects on GitHub in terms of pull requests opened vs. pull requests closed. This post will use the GitHub Archive dataset . Top 15 repositories with the most pull requests First let’s find the top 15 repos with the most p....

Lazer Having a fish tank is supposed to be about stress relief. — Steven D Marlow (@sd_marlow) August 4, 2016 Zhora the fairground goldfish I had a goldfish as a kid in elementary school in Alabama, obtained for free when I won it at a school fair. My family and I knew nothing about proper care of any fish - poor Zhora spent two years in a small round bowl with no filter and no heater, us not knowing any better than to change the wate..

An apparent performance bug with some std::map and std::unordered_map implementations

A few days ago my colleague Yves mentioned a perplexing finding to me - It was significantly faster to call find on a std::unordered_map, and then insert a item into the map only if the find call indicates it is not present, than to just attempt to insert an item directly with an insert call. This is strange, because the semantics of std::unordered_map::insert are that if an item with a matching key is already in the map, then the i....

Email might be one of the most often overlooked pieces of any web application. Usually the biggest discussion around it in a project begins and ends with “and we’ll send them an email when this happens…”. A little thought and some minor adjustments can help us avoid some problems that will grow as your project does. Let’s talk about email as a microservice.

Why is it so hard to think about something that I’ve been deprived of? Maybe because unless I’ve experienced the new perspective, I don’t realize I’ve been missing it? What have I been missing? Well, for one part - I was not exposed to much education about how to be successful in life and how to negotiate. I’ve been living with the impression that I simply need to do a good job. The way I’ve always imagined achieving success is to work ha....

Recently it came up to perform a slight integration piece between a on premises Stash/BitBucket install and a searchcode server install. Thankfully both have an API and very thankfully there is a nice Python library for talking to Stash/BitBucket. Below is the code used. It pulls out all of the repositories from every project, checks if it exists in searchcode and if not adds it as a repository to be indexed. You need to install stashy (p..

Whilst setting up my new QNAP NAS, I received a warning: [Volume DataVol1] The file system is not clean. It is suggested that you go to [Storage Manager] to run "Check File System". So, wishing to ensure my new HDD was healthy, I did as I was told and ran the ‘File System Check’ tool. After a couple of minutes, I received another message, this time an error: [Volume DataVol1] Examination failed (Cannot unmount disk). Not a great sign...

I couldn’t help but remember a very specific strange thing that happened to me growing up. I thought, hey, this would be a kinda weird blog post. So here it is. The events following are factual. It was a hot, dry summer in July of 1995 in Phoenix, Arizona. We were getting our house repainted. F....

My journey to GopherCon started on a cold winter day in the apartments in the center of Odessa, Ukraine, where I was living at that time. I was one of the organizers ..
