I was lucky enough be the first guest for the shiny new Talk Python To Me Podcast hosted by Michael Kennedy. In this episode we talk about Eve an my other open source releases, which gives us an excuse to touch on a variety of topics such as Polyglot Programming, New Microsoft and the .NET evolution, MongoDB and the Open Source eco-system as seen from the point of view of an old fart who has been spending most of his career in closed syst..

Lets face it, Do Not Track (DNT) is dying a slow death. Content providers are either ignoring the setting, or giving lip service to DNT while taking no action behind the scenes. Worse yet, if users are able to find the browser preference, they don’t understand its purpose or value. Enabling the feature is confusing, and quite inconsistent between browser vendors. Goggle Chrome hides the feature behind an “Advanced” barrier. Features and....

Externalizing application configuration values into a properties file is a common pattern in enterprise applications, because it gets the environment-specific settings out of the code and avoids the need for environment-specific builds. Being able to deploy the same binary to multiple environments (Dev, QA, UAT, Production) is a Good Thing. I came across an interesting quirk in an application recently. I needed to change the port of the a..

I’ve updated some of my ASH scripts to use these 4 arguments in a standard way: What ASH columns to display (and aggregate by) Which ASH rows to use for the report (filter) Time range start Time range end So this means whenever I run ashtop (or dashtop ) for example, I need to type in all 4 parameters. The example below would show top SQL_IDs only for user SOE sessions from last hour of ASH samples:

Edit: This post was written many years ago. Back then I was a lot more strict on how other people did things and I now understand this was a mistake. I'm leaving this post here as a reminder of past mistakes. Note: this is a rant on how people use git. When I was introduced to git, I was told I should read this great post on git commit messages by Tim Pope . Ever since, I've been trying to follow that system in all of my commits ac..

I have an amazing time machine that lets me think better about projects. This is part 1 in a series of blog posts exploring the use of a time machine. Let’s say that you have a project that has been running for a couple of months. Looking back at your issue tracker and other artifacts, you notice that it’s hard to see what has been done and especially how much time remains.

As March 11th, Pivotal dropped its financial sponsorship for Groovy , and despite of not really endangering it, as Groovy is an already well established language with a great community backing it, it raised many concerns, as the required boost a platform like this deserves was missing until now. Furthermore, its creator and project leader until lately, Guillaume Laforge, also recently stepped back in order to focus in Restlet. Also the....

Here are the slides of a presentation I did at the IOUG Virtual Exadata conference in February. I’m explaining the basics of some new Oracle 12c things related to Exadata, plus current latest cellsrv improvements like Columnar Flash Cache and IO skipping for Min/Max retrieval using Storage Indexes: Note that Christian Antognini and Roger MacNicol have written separate articles about some new features: http://antognini.ch/2015/03/exad..

It’s been a little more than a year since Java 8 was released (2014/03/18) and you might think that it’s a little too late for a What’s new in post. In fact latest public update available is 8u40, so let’s review not only what was initially included in Java 8, but what else has changed during this first year, up to release 8u40. Lots of changes were included in the initial Java 8 release, being probably the most notable of them, in my....

Last time we defined the Hamming code. We also saw that it meets the Hamming bound, which is a measure of how densely a code can be packed inside an ambient space and still maintain a given distance. This time we’ll define the Reed-Solomon code which optimizes a different bound called the Singleton bound, and then generalize them to a larger class of codes called Reed-Muller codes. In future posts we’ll consider algorithmic issues behind de..

Want to re-evaluate defvars and modify variables? eval-defun (bound to C-M-x) can help. From the manual: If the current defun is actually a call to `defvar', then reset the variable using its initial value expression even if the variable already has some other value. (Normally `defvar' does not change the variable's value if it already has a value.) Treat `defcustom' similarly.
