Yesterday was a beautiful, sunny, cold winter Sunday. I felt like going out and enjoying nature, so I took a solo hike in the Foreste Casentinesi National Park, about an hour’s drive from home. This one marks my very first technology-assisted hiking adventure. It may seem weird for someone who’s been hiking for so long, is a notorious geek and is a professional computer programmer to have never used technology before. A trail map and some....

Python isn’t slow. The core eval loop , while slower than a JIT, is no slouch when it comes to dispatching bytecode. There is no reason that business logic written in Python which orchestrates the operation of highly optimized extension libraries should be a bottle neck. Time is precious, get to the point Code and benchmarks are here , fair winds and following seas. Also, hey, if you’re real busy because you hav..

Since my earliest university days, I’ve spent a lot of time trying to get better at computers, immersing myself in the world of Linux, and generally improving my software development skills. One of the aspects that was the most helpful to help me grow was attempting to replicate my normal dev workflow, but with less: Learn to operate on Linux not Windows, then learn to do dev via on the terminal instead of GUIs, and eventually learn to do..

For those who don’t know me, I’m a demographer. I study population. And my first love in fantasy was, of course, Middle Earth. How many people live in Middle Earth? Being a demographer, I was mainly interested in the data side of things. Tolkien is frustratingly vague about population. He almost never gives us estimates of settlement sizes, and many of the larger metropolises of Middle Earth (like Pelargir) never actually appear on the..

Ludicrous misuse of a word, especially by confusion with one of similar sound. An example of such misuse. The act or habit of misapplying words through an ambition to use fine language. A malapropism (also called a malaprop, acyrologia, or Dogberryism) is the use of an incorrect word in place of a word with a similar sound, either unintentionally or for comedic effect, resulting in a nonsensical, often humorous utterance. https://e..

Hi, Beim Team einer meiner Kunden habe ich den Spitznamen “Revolver-Held” bekommen. Weil ich so schnell schieße. Den Ruf bekam ich relativ schnell vom Team. Zu dem Zeitpunkt war er durchaus despektierlich gemeint. Das Team war mein Tempo nicht gewohnt. Es hatte es sich gemütlich gemacht. Die Software ist seit mehr als 10 Jahren in Entwicklung. Und über die Zeit haben sich hohe technische Schulden angesammelt. Das war ein sc..

We talked about my article, some of the other writing I have published on this topic , and and then something I briefly touched on in my SOC Metrics series: the dangers of metrics. Permalink.

In no particular order a list of Go libraries/packages I really like and some reasons why. zerolog I know that the changes to slog make it far closer to being what zero log is now, but I still prefer it for my own use. requests Anyone who works with python for a while learns about the requests library for making HTTP calls. This is similar but for Go. It has a few sharp edges when dealing with websites that don’t follow standards, but....
