Update 3, Nov 2 2015 (PM): Well, it’s been…strange. First, it seems my account was finally deleted by Livecoding.tv (thank you!) After being up all night with libel posted all over it, hours after Jamie Green (the other Livecoding co-founder) and Sam Altman (Y Combinator president) replied to the Hacker News thread claiming they were trying to do something, something finally happened. I have heard nothing from either of them since their ..

I am going to copy the searchcode pitch itself below quickly before explaining it a bit further. “searchcode offers powerful code search over billions of lines of open source code. Imagine what it could do with your private repositories. There have been requests to offer a downloadable version of searchcode. Given enough interest a downloadable hostable version of searchcode will be offered. Register your email below to register your in..

AdRoll — Part I As a high school math teacher, I never imagined that I would become a software engineer, but here I am. After teaching and running a math tutoring business for five years, I began to yearn for a new challenge and started to tackle Codecademy’s Python course . By the end of the section on for loops, I was hooked; the structured way of thinking that programming required jived with my math brain, and I knew that I needed to....

Picture This It’s midnight and my flight has just landed in Boston, two hours behind schedule. I step out into a crisp September night; the air never tastes like this in California. It’s refreshing, but despite it only being 9 PM on the coast that I left from, I’m exhausted. It’s been a tiring few days of tying up loose ends before the trip, and staring at a dim screen on a dark plane wasn’t exactly conducive to sustaining my conscious..

Containers are not a new thing, but implementing them was always a little more complicated than it needed to be. Docker made great leaps in simplification of containers and set the world on fire from there. Let’s look at why.

A new version of Eve , the REST API framework for Humans, has been released today. Following the 0.6 milestone released one month ago, v0.6.1 introduces some fixes and few new important features. Upgrade is strongly encouraged. As always, a changelog with full list of updates is available.

Over the last few weeks, I’ve been plagued with an issue within the OSX El Capitan App Store, that resulted in me being unable to install any updates or install/purchase new applications. At first, I wondered if this was due to my hasty upgrade to the GM of OSX 10.11, which almost certainly was going have a few bugs and issues being the initial release of a new OS. After a few attempts at trying to fix the issue using Google, it seemed th..

Imagine being able to step forward and backwards as code runs in your debugger. Imagine being able to do an test run multiple times with exactly the same sequence of instructions and values, right down to memory addresses and IO. Imagine being able to run an executable thousands of times and then do all that in the one execution that triggers the rare bug that’s draining you of life… The rr tool is amazing. A Debugger Skeptic I’ve n....

I was recently an invited speaker in a series of STEM talks at Moraine Valley Community College. My talk was called “What can algorithms tell us about life, love, and happiness?” and it’s on Youtube now so you can go watch it. The central theme of the talk was the lens of computation, that algorithms and theoretical computer science can provide new and novel explanations for the natural phenomena we observe in the world.

I really wouldn’t mind moving from Dropbox to S3, Google Cloud Storage, Azure Storage, or any other provider Recently at work I’ve been using the fancy new 4K iMac , yet when I’m at home or out-and-about, I use my equivalently-sexy MacBook . I do the same stuff on both computers though, it just so happens that one is way faster and has a bigger screen, and the other is slower though portable and much more practical for my lifestyle. ....

One of the perks of the truck that I always mention is its mobility. Regardless of where on the planet I put it, the box is still my room, and once I’m inside, the details of the surrounding world are reduced to nothing more than background noise. Theoretically, I can just park anywhere and make that my home for the night. In reality however, I very rarely spend the night anywhere other than a corporate parking lot, save a few digressions..

A sample from Kona Part 2's comments: 2.5 w/u to 4x(1.25@11.5 w/0.25R@7) to 3x(3.75@10.5 w/0.5R@7) to 2.5 c/d. Is read from left to right as: 2.5 mile warm up to four times through 1.25 miles at 11.5 miles per hour with 0.25 miles recovery at 7 miles per hour to three times through 3.75 miles at 10.5 miles per hour with 0.5 miles recovery at 7 miles per hour to 2.5 miles cool down.

I recently released version 0.3 of my simple_parallel crate, which builds on Aaron Turon’s crossbeam to resolve the stability and safety difficulties : the crate now works with Rust 1.3.0 stable, and offers safe data-parallel for loops and maps. I still don’t recommend it for general use, but I think it’s a neat demonstration of what Rust’s type system allows, and hopefully inspiration for something awesome. simple_parallel ....

In my consulting work, I encounter a pretty high quantity and diversity of codebases as client projects flow in and out. For many reasons, it is very common for a project to get increasingly messy with time, and often by the time it drops in my lap, it's a certifiable mess. Dealing with a mess can be a huge drag and productivity drain as even the simplest debugging investigation is rife with confusion, duplication, misdirection, etc. Here....

The world of javascript code linters is a fertile breeding ground for vociferous debate over unimportant details. It's easy to stray into the bad patterns of arguing with colleagues, playing "curly brace police", and other variants. However, used well with the right mindset and team communication, good code linters and autoformatters can be truly valuable additions to your development workflow and tool chain. If you haven't yet discovered....

Parallel programming is a very difficult, but sometimes a necessary task. Modern computers contain multiple cores and any complex algorithm that is not performing parallel processing is not exploiting the full potential of the hardware. In this Java 8 Streams tutorial we will show you how to convert a Stream to List using parallelStream(), filter() and collect(), how to convert an Iterator to Stream and count strings. The Streams API in..

Wow, that was intense. This blog used to just be for my family and friends to check in and make sure I hadn’t died in some horrific truck-related accident, but since I made the highly questionable call to share my story publicly, it’s been a whole different story all together. It’s been a crazy few days, and I have a ton of thoughts on it. This is going to be my longest post by far, and I apologize in advance if it reads like one long rambl..
