I’m currently working with a large retail banking client to help them modernize their payments infrastructure. The word “modernize” is used in just about every client interaction. It appears in all the slide decks. It’s part of the business case justification. But modernization is a relative term. The big question is: What does the client mean by modernization? The existing system is a vendor product running in an on-prem application ..

In part one of this series we installed Nix, set up our system configuration with nix-darwin, and installed some packages at the system level. In this post, we’ll set up home-manager . Unlike nix-darwin, home-manager is cross-platform: it works across NixOS, macOS, and anywhere else Nix can be installed. It was difficult at first for me to understand how home-manager and nix-darwin should interact. While there is definitely overlap w....

From my experience as a maintainer of midly successful open-source projects, I have come to the conclusion that people who criticize accepting payment to work on such projects are either acting in bad faith or are incredibly naive. Anyway, Jacob Kaplan-Moss’s recent Paying people to work on open source is good is a stellar post on the topic of open-source sustainability. My fundamental position is that paying people to work on open ..

My mountaineering days are mostly left behind, and I miss them, so now and then, I look at some YouTube videos from the field specialists. Today, the algorithm suggested I watch a truly phenomenal one by Colin Haley . What makes it so unique is the raw, unedited “I’m filming for my family” feeling that there is to it. He’s sweating, swearing, worrying and freezing like, you know, the rest of us. Colin seems a lovable, down-to-earth..

Yesterday’s OpenAI launch of Sora is, as is always the case with OpenAI, mind-boggling. Marquees Browniee’s comment is spot-on, so much so as he’s obviously involved in the video-making scene. I don’t think content creators are at risk with Sora, not anytime soon, but, as Marquees repeatedly notes in the video above, just one year ago we thought AI-generated video was a joke.

In a previous blog post, we’ve advertised the use of SQL EXISTS rather than COUNT(*) to check for existence of a value in SQL. I.e. to check if in the Sakila database, actors called WAHLBERG have played in any films, instead of: Do this: (Depending on your dialect you may require a FROM DUAL clause, … Continue reading An Efficient Way to Check for Existence of Multiple Values in SQL →

Herbert Lui writes about his experience getting writing feedback from editors: My editors were giving me comments and suggestions on all of these posts, but I noticed a tension: as I accepted these changes and resolved comments, they would effectively disappear into a basement-equivalent dropdown menu, never to see the light of day again. I would lose the majority of the feedback that I received. But it’s difficult to learn from your....

tl;dr I got nerd sniped by a problem and wrote a solver for it. You can find it here. The Problem Apparently it’s impossible to determine if someone is capable of coding without asking them arbitrary puzzles that are in no way related to a realistic job. Resumes and previous job experience are so passe - puzzles are where it’s at. I received one of these coding challenges - given a jumble of letters, find all possible words you ..

I’m always fascinated by these in-depth bibliography efforts, and this one, with its unique 300-page catalog detailing 7,400 titles from Charles Darwin’s library, is nothing short of extraordinary. John van Wyhe, the academic who has led the “overwhelming” endeavour, said it showed the extraordinary extent of Darwin’s research into the work of others. “It also shows how insanely eclectic Darwin was,” Van Wyhe said. “There is this v..

I want to switch things up here. I always considered this blog to be the technical perspective on my live. I always felt that focussing on one topic at a time (and thus, if you want to write about multiple topics, have multiple blogs) is the right thing to do. This is not the case anymore. I’d like to write more and show more of my other passions. Did you know that I’m also an avid (long distance/ultralight) hiker? I’ve done this for over..
