For the first time ever, I was laid off, and had to find a new software developer job. I managed to find a new one, but it took longer than I thought, and it was a lot of work. I … Continue reading →

Looking through this list, I read an incredibly good set of books this year. In each of my annual “books read” posts I try to pick the best or most impactful one, and this year is very hard. It’s the first full year of my sabbatical, so I delved deeper into non-fiction topics, many of […]

Soon our local hackerspace Toolbox Bodensee has its 10-year anniversary , and it will also be present at the IBO fair 2024 in Friedrichshafen . Some five or six years ago I already prepared a small setup at one of the Toolbox open-door-days with an oscilloscope and a laptop playing Jerobeam Fendersons Oscilloscope Music . But it never looked quite right. So I decided to tackle the topic again this year. ....

The other day, I noticed our bathroom sink was slow to drain: although the stopper was fully open, standing water was just trickling down. I peek inside the drain and saw some hair sticking out - aha! It's easy enough to dissemble the stopper (with the help of this instructional guide ), and quickly I am rewarded with a surprisingly large wad of soapy hair. Triumphant, I reassemble the stopper and run the tap full-blast. Water flies do....

I always hesitated to deploy an extra tool for user management and SSO, but the current state of the web makes it very difficult to keep up with security, CVEs etc. Why not trust one of the longest standing solutions for identity and access management? Keycloak is open source, interoperable with major SSO protocols (OpenID Connect (OIDC), OAuth 2.0, SAML), and robust. The setup with docker compose is not complicated, but it was not straight..

I spent some time over the past week tweaking and improving this site. Not all the changes are live yet, but every post now has an OpenGraph preview image to go along with it. I got a lot of guidance from Arne Bahlo’s post on how to generate SVGs in Astro and a lot of inspiration from Jacob Kaplan-Moss’s preview images . I find frontend development to be a creative outlet where I can still write code without feeling like I’m doing so....

Technically, The New Yorker’s Baruch Spinoza and the Art of Thinking in Dangerous Times reviews a book on Spinoza. It is so well conceived that it also offers a practical primer on the philosopher’s thoughts on God, nature, democracy, religion and their interaction. A few steps into his public philosopher career, Spinoza found himself exiled from his Jewish community in Amsterdam. That made him cautious and adept at avoiding an even wor..

Recently I ran into a situation where it was necessary to capture the output of a Java process on the stdout stream, and at the same time a filtered subset of the output in a log file. The former, so that the output gets picked up by the Kubernetes logging infrastructure. The letter for further processing on our end: we were looking to detect when the JVM stops due to an OutOfMemoryError, passing on that information to some error classifier..

Over the last year, as a person with a hardware background, I have heard a lot of complaints about Nvidia's dominance of the machine learning market and whether I can build chips to make the situation better. While the amount of money I would expect it to take is less than $7 trillion , hardware accelerating this wave of AI will be a very tough problem--much tougher than the last wave focused on CNNs--and there is a good reason that Nvidi..

Today I learned that GitHub wikis are not editable online and do not support pull requests . You can clone and edit a wiki locally but not return your change to the original repository. I don’t use wikis in my projects ; I prefer documentation to stay with the project, usually in a dedicated directory, and publish it on a dedicated site through GitHub Pages. But today was different as I opened a pull request for PaperMod, the Hugo the..

How do you manage the dependencies of a large-scale data science project? How do you migrate that project from a laptop to cloud infrastructure or utilize GPUs and multiple instances in parallel? This week on the show, Savin Goyal returns to discuss the updates to the open-source framework Metaflow.

Isolated indigenous people as happy as wealthy western peers

People living in remote Indigenous communities are as happy as those in wealthy developed countries despite having “very little money”, according to new scientific research that could challenge the widely held perception that “money buys happiness”. Researchers who interviewed 2,966 people in 19 Indigenous and local communities across the world found that on average they were as happy – if not happier – as the average person in high-in..

This is a story nightmare about the messy state of Microsoft’s DirectX shader compiler, and trying to wrangle it into a nicer experience for game developers. In some respects, we now build the DXC compiler better than how Microsoft does.

We’ve had some fun with growing a bit of food in our small yards. Oranges, lemons, and pineapples have come through nicely, and we planted a mango tree a few months back but it will take a year or years to start producing. We also planted tomatoes from seeds I got at the library–on the … Continue reading Terrible humans: Tomato edition

Ethan Mollick, one of my few LLM/AI sources , just dropped his first impressions on Gemini Advanced, released today, but which he’s been testing for a month in early access. Let me start with the headline: Gemini Advanced is clearly a GPT-4 class model. The statistics show this, but so does a month of our informal testing. And this is a big deal because OpenAI’s GPT-4 (the paid version of ChatGPT/Microsoft Copilot) has been the dominan..

After yesterday ’s, another article on the modern era of blogging surfaced on my RSS feed. In A Golden Era of Blogging , Jim Nielsen boldly proposes that we live in, you guessed it, a new golden era of blogging. He argues that the advent of the ads market tainted the original blogging scene in the mid-2000s, and something similar is now happening in the YouTube scene. Today’s independent blogger is not in it for the money (there’s none ..

I am frequently annoyed at the things that I can’t remember. And when I’m trying to remember the details of something, I often turn to my text messages—thanks to big improvements recently, it is now quite fast to search my whole iMessage history on my phone, provided that I can remember some verbatim part of the message I’m looking for. And often, once I’m in the past, I want to look around: text messages from ages ago provide surprisingly ....

Distributed consensus in transactional databases (e.g. etcd or Cockroach) is a big deal these days. Most often under the hood are variations of log-based Paxos-like algorithms such as MultiPaxos, Viewstamped Replication, or Raft. While there are new variations that come out each year, optimizing for various workloads, these algorithms are fairly standard and well-understood. In fact they are used in so many places, Kubernetes for example,....

I live by Alfred as a launcher and all around insta-utility thing. I also live by whatever terminal I am currently using. Switching from Terminal.app to iTerm.app was easy enough in Alfred, just need to hit the down arrow after trying to launch it 2-3 times and it picks up that ⌘-spc t e r means iTerm.app not Terminal.app and we're off to the races. This works as iTerm nicely has t e r in it, so Alfred picks it up as I type t e r. Ghost....
