Having recently migrated from Ubuntu to Windows as my work machine, many of the features that made my system feel like home were missing. This post serves as a collection of solutions I found (and some I’ve adapted) from the web. Cheers! Correctly installing Docker under WSL You do not (and should not) install anything Docker related inside your WSL instances. Instead, you can use the Docker Desktop WSL 2 Backend, which will take care of in..


I’ve explored DHH ’ s way of writing Rails applications. His introduction of CurrentAttributes and suppressors of callbacks a few years ago made me want to revisit his Youtube Screencasts on Basecamp 3 and try to really appreciate this approach with an open mind. I soon understood our fundamental difference in thinking. DHH approaches application code as an interconnected web of rich models. Each model is chock-full of concern....

In the previous post , we defined the resistance function that show sensitivity of the given estimator to the low-density regions. We also showed the resistance function plots for the mean and the sample median. In this post, we explore corresponding plots for the Harrell-Davis median.

Abstract TL/DR I present what I belive is a unique index for indexing and searching source code. It copies ideas from Bing bitfunnel implementation to create a very fast, memory efficient trigram index over source code. searchcode.com is now using a custom built index written by yours truly It indexes 180-200 million documents and 75 billions lines of code The index works using bloom filters sharded by unique document trigrams It borrows....

In a study that Ars Technica reported on , researchers found that an alarming number of computer repair technicians snooped through clients’ devices—and female clients were way more likely to have their data accessed. Yikes! I once had to take my laptop to get some repairs done. The TAB key on my 2016 MacBook Pro had started glitching, and that wasn’t going to fly when I was working on code and needed my tab completions and app switc....

Blogging as DRY - seirdy.one - 3 years ago - eng
The “Don’t Repeat Yourself” (DRY) principle is my main motivation for adding content to my site—especially to my “notes” section . I’ve gone as far as linking my own website in online class discussions (not as a citation; just for DRY). This also combines really well with the Publish on your Own Site, Syndicate Elsewhere (POSSE) principle. Often, a post of mine syndicates well to multiple destinations. I might reply to a forum on my si..

A cat taking a compilers course. Credit: katiebcartoons.com. I got carried away with that title, sorry. I wrapped up David Beazley’s week-long compilers course yesterday and it was a total hoot. If you’ve been considering taking this course, I want to share my (lovely) experience and what you can expect from it. David’s compilers class is an intense, hands-on primer to implementing a programming language. Over five days, we built an interpr..

There’s regular hiking, and then there’s Antarctica hiking. Check out brr’s report of a Sunday’s hike from McMurdo’s base up to the tip of Castle Rock, with spectacular views of Mount Erebus and the surroundings. brr’s Antarticta blog is a recent addition to my RSS feed collection. It’s always interesting to follow people living and working in the most remote parts of the world.

This article demonstrates how to configure TLS/SSL certificates with the Ingress controller in Kubernetes. We'll set up an NGINX Ingress controller, create a self-signed SSL/TLS certificate, create the necessary rules to link the SSL/TLS certificate to the controller, and hook it up to a Kubernetes sample app service.

In this article, you'll learn what dependency injection is, when you should use it, and what popular JavaScript frameworks it's implemented in.
