I get asked a lot by new developers: “how do I find a coding job?” What should I do/learn to get a really good job? Here’s my advice.

Last year, 37signals employees shared the “pyramid of hate” in a work chat in response to seeing a list of “funny Asian names” of customers. Upper management responded by banning discussion of politics at work (I presume “politics” means “anything that creates a sense of social responsibility beyond investor value”). Its handling of the situation caused a third of its employees to resign . However, I don’t think this policy is in effect ....

Yesterday the creator of the Python language, Guido van Rossum, tweeted about The Origins of Python , an essay by his mentor, Lambert Meertens. “On Sunday, June 21, 1970, in an office building on Great Portland Street in London, a teletype sprang to life. Under the heading “HAPPY FAMILIES,” the machine rattled out a sequence of English sentences, such as “THE DOG SITS ON THE BABY” and “UNCLE TED PLAYS WITH SISTER.” The “Happy Familie..

Set up a free Mastodon-ready server in under 20 minutes with Pleroma + Fly.io

Run a Pleroma server on Fly.io ’s free tier. Pleroma can use Mastodon apps and federate with Mastodon servers. I wanted to run my own ActivityPub server. I like self hosting. I don’t like spending money. For a while I had tried setting up Mastodon but I didn’t get super far. I had a pretty rough cold for the last two days and suddenly I had a free schedule to figure this out. I ended up pounding my head on the wall a bit, but here w....

Any IT sysadmin will tell you that if you don’t schedule time for computer maintenance, your systems will schedule it for you. The same is true for the human mind. After all, humans are the most powerful computer out there (and the only one that can be mass produced by unskilled labour ;-) When starting out in a tech field, we are intrinsically motivated to spend long hours trying to make a name for ourselves - after all, there’s no bette..

New features for the logseq openai plugin and my thoughts on why Large Language Models are interesting
|
|
The nanoPi R4S is a great router with a very efficient metal enclosure to keep it cooled, but it has one defect: it’s flat on the base. I mean that it doesn’t have anything that can rise it few centimeters from the table, in order to allow a small flow of air under it, and also to avoid scratching or damage (with the heat) your table/forniture. To solve this, in the beginning I was using some stupid plastic, or metal, “feet” under ..

Hey everyone, I’m very sorry for the long absence. It’s been a while since I’ve written, and so much has changed. In August, I took my 1988 Suburban, loaded it up with a 12 foot UHaul trailer, and dragged all my belongings from rural Western Washington to rural Western Nevada, about 30 miles from Reno. … Continue reading The post Fall/Winter 2022 Update… Let the 3d Printing Begin! appeared first on MiscDotGeek .

How do you build a REST API using the Flask web framework? How can you quickly add endpoints while automatically generating documentation? This week on the show, Real Python author Philipp Acsany is here to discuss his tutorial series "Python REST APIs With Flask, Connexion, and SQLAlchemy." Christopher Trudeau is also here with another batch of PyCoder's Weekly articles and projects.

The Crow Comes Last is a collection of thirty short stories written between 1945 and 1948, primarily based on the author’s wartime experiences as a resistance fighter during WWII and then in postwar Italy. Some are brutal, others funny, and some are gritty. They all revolve around the themes he perfectly defined while talking about his book: I prefer to divide the subject into three parts, to highlight three thematic lines of my work fr..

Having recently set up a Mastodon instance I wanted to play around with using Mastodon's statuses API endpoint to create a simple bot that publishes toots. As well as letting me play around a little with the API, the bot provides a way for others to follow my content on Mastodon without necessarily having to follow me : Those who want to can follow @rssbot@mastodon.bentasker.co.uk and not be subjected to any of my idle chatter. I....

New Service, FullTextRSS ~aryak Wed, 23 Nov 2022 A few days back I setup FullTextRSS a tool that allows you to extract full text of articles from RSS feeds. This is an addition to FreshRSS (web RSS reader) and RSS-Bridge (RSS feeds for services that don’t have them) and we hope this makes our suite for avid RSS users very complete. Thank you for being a part of ~vern.

New Service, Penpot ~aryak Wed, 23 Nov 2022 Today I setup Penpot, a Figma alternative for ~vern. Though I am not really a designer, I can see this service being useful for many and will help prevent centralization of penpot. Since I could not get the Sign-Up thing working, Penpot will remain On Request for now. Thank you for being a part of ~vern.

White areas show points of earth on land whose antipode is also on land. This is only about 8.6% of all of earth’s surface. If you want to fly across the Pacific Ocean, you’ll have to board an airplane and fly around 12 hours. It’s pretty slow. A much faster route would be to go directly through the center of the earth. “Digging to China” was a common expression I heard growing up, with the implication that the opposite side of the glob..

I run a Miniflux instance on my desktop computer, which fetches all my feeds and makes the content available locally. Inspired by a discussion the other day on HackerNews , I wrote a little script that asks Miniflux for a list of my feeds in OPML format and turns it into an AsciiDoc page, which I publish on here, as my BlogRoll & Links page : import os import sys import urllib.request import xml.etree.ElementTre....

The Dojima rice market, established around 1716, is widely considered to be the world’s first organized futures exchange. Instead of directly exchanging money for rice on the spot, merchants would agree on a price and future date at which rice and money would be exchanged. This allowed farmers and consumers to hedge their risk. As a result, information about the abundance or lack of rice would travel across the country as fast as rice merch..

In Part 4 of our series, we focused on the file system and before concluding, we were able to extract files from two UBIFS images contained within the firmware. Here in Part 5, we will try to better understand the structure of the root file system by introducing some basic concepts of the operating system used by Reolink RLC-810A, namely Linux. -Continue to read the article on SerHack.me

What do I mean by trick/hack? This can be super flexible, but I’ll toss out a few of my own personal ones. One of the rules of my product management philosophy, is if you’re going to use a tool or trick then use it often. This is in fact one of my favorite interview questions for PMs. If you ever interview with me, be prepared it’s coming. It applies for engineering managers and others in leadership roles as well, but I’ve found especiall....
