Back in 2017 the world of traditional websites was still dominated by monolithic traditional CMSes - The likes of WordPress, Drupal, Umbraco, WooCommerce, etc - This is the story of how gatsby.js became the love of my life and ultimately how it ended breaking my heart.

Your big feature is tested and ready to go! Time to merge, and then… Nooooo! 😭 Memories arise of hours of uncertainty spent trying to resolve past conflicts. Sure, there are lots of UIs that make picking one side or the other easier than using the command line, but is picking sides really the right answer? I’ll share a hidden gem that, for me, has turned conflict resolution from frustration into something of a joy. Git has a built-in....

Some notes on earphones related to the last post : The aforementioned noise-canceling earbuds are Sony WF-1000XM4. They're really good at noise-canceling, obviously, and the ambient sound mode actually amplifies the outside since the isolation is pretty strong on its own. I got mine bundled with my phone (Xperia 5 IV), which you can see also suffers Sony's inability to name products with anything more meaningful than a glorified serial n..

I recently got some new noise-canceling earbuds, and they are terrifyingly effective. Although I have thoughts on sound quality, technology, whatever, this post is not about that. It's about how when I walk down the street and tap my left earbud, it only takes seconds to eject me from this world. A polite robot announces, Noise canceling . A light swell of static obscures outside sounds. But as the static fades, the noise of the world do....

Often times, software engineers are faced with the prospect of adding new functionalities or checking in new code that seems to be beneficial but are not core to the product, things like additional settings, corner cases, functionality for power users, etc.

Networking events in NYC and the conversations haven't really given me what I was looking for. In the spirit of doing, I decided to try and create a new event which would be a better fit for what I want to attend.

Like every adult male entering his thirties, I had recently developed an interest in military history, so what better way to spend a Saturday than at the local Midway Museum, the dubiously self-proclaimed #1 attraction in San Diego. Besides the endless labyrinth of tiny hallways and crew quarters, perhaps the most interesting exhibit was the … Continue reading "Magnetic-core memory, Faraday’s Law and winding numbers"

Imagine you work with some data and assume that the underlying distribution is approximately normal. In such cases, the data analysis typically involves non-robust statistics like the mean and the standard deviation. While these metrics are highly efficient under normality, they make the analysis procedure fragile: a single extreme value can corrupt all the results. You may not expect any significant outliers, but you can never be 100% sure..

Introduction Go interfaces are beneficial to Go developers because they: Allow interfaces to separate mechanism from behavior. Increase flexibility of function parameters. Enable mocking of function parameters. With the addition of generics in Go 1.18, interfaces can be used to constrain the types of values a generic function will accept. To dive deeper into Go interfaces, we invite you to join Miki in his latest series dedicated to Go..

When you first create a status page, it’s probably because you want to communicate outages to your customers. The faster you can share details about an outage, the sooner your customers know what’s going on, and the more effectively they can handle the outage. Communicating promptly – in clear language – builds trust. And as a young company with a customer centric focus, that’s your top priority. So why is it that as an industry, we no ....

I wanted to practice making coding videos so I did a four-part series on writing a basic Scheme-like language (minus macros and arrays and tons of stuff). I picked this simple topic because I wanted a low-stakes way to learn what I did not know about making videos. Here was the end result (nothing crazy): $ go build $ cat examples/fib . scm ( func fib ( a ) ( if ( < a 2 ) ....
