I have lots of laptops and one desktop. While jumping around the country, it’s annoying to have to setup a dev environment on every machine. There are solutions out there like docker, github codespaces, or renting a VM from one of the dozens of cloud providers. But I already have a great desktop with everything I want already setup. I work on tons of different projects (most don’t see enough work to warrant a writeup) and it’s annoying to h..

The Accessible Platform Architectures (APA) working group hopes to designate adapt- as a reserved prefix in HTML 5. You can read the draft proposal on the public-adapt mailing list . The “Adapt” family of specifications will allow pages to expose generic meanings behind elements, and allow users to “switch” these to versions they understand. A sarcastic sentence could have a literal alternative; words can be swapped with symbols. Like RD....

Photo by Dollar Gill on Unsplash Introduction As the Scala 3 - book points out, Scala has a rich set of collection classes. As well as List, of course, it also has a solid implementation of LazyList. If you're not sure what that is, or what is used for, read on and find out, plus even better I will walk through a full implementation of LazyList that can do some magical things. Scala List can represent collections of zero o....

Expanding the ~vern wiki and a call for contributions ~xmoo Fri, 04 Nov 2022 Hello! I figure it’s probably about time to announce that ~vern has a wiki! Our wiki is focused on info pages and tutorials so people can get all the help they need. The ~vern wiki isn’t new by any means, it is actually a couple of months old. (It was first created on August 16th I believe) The ~vern wiki is decent but it does not explain a lot and lots o....

Office Hours have been discontinued due to lack of interest. Stay tuned for more information, coming soon, about a new project I’m working on. The below information is left for historical purposes. Working remotely on open source can make it difficult to connect with people, to get those impromptu mentoring or pair programming sessions that can happen in passing. This is one thing I’ve personally missed about working in an office on a l..

Python 3.11 is here! Our regular guests, Geir Arne Hjelle and Christopher Trudeau, return to talk about the new version. Geir Arne wrote a series of preview tutorials earlier this year, and his annual piece, titled "Python 3.11: Cool New Features for You to Try," was published on October 24. Christopher's video course came out the next day, covering the topics from the tutorial with visual examples of Python 3.11 in action.

The standard SQL WITH clause has been tremendously helpful in structuring SQL queries. Instead of nesting everything in unreadable derived tables like this: People have started moving the logic up front, just like in any other programming language, where we declare things first, lexically, then use them: Both queries will produce the 5 actors with … Continue reading LATERAL is Your Friend to Create Local Column Variables in SQL →

Large organizations’ choices influence my decisions in only one way: by telling me what users are familiar with. For instance: when building a search-results page, it might make sense to borrow the basic semantics of existing search engines (Google, Bing, etc.) so the interface is familiar. It doesn’t make sense to blatantly violate WCAG (especially at the “A” level!) just because big companies do. The companies you cite know they won’t g..

Speaking generally: I think most website security scanners (Webbkoll, Observatory, et al) lend themselves to cargo-cults. You don’t need most Content Security Policy directives for a PNG file, for instance. Warning against a missing X-Frame-Options feels wrong: even the latest version of iOS 9—the oldest iOS release to support secure TLS 1.2 ECDSA ciphers—seems to support frame-ancestors (correct me if I’m wrong). Internet.nl is a bit..

I have a cold right now and just about wrote a pretty lengthy article about just how good Puffs Bathroom Tissues are compared to normal tissues but it came off pretty delirious and Proctor and Gamble really doesn’t need the press, so - here: Puffs Bathroom Tissues with Lotion are really good and you’re a sucker if you use any other brand of bathroom tissues when you’re sick.

I was recently browsing through an old archive of holiday photos (from dired of course). I wanted to know where the photo was taken, which got me interested in extracting Exif metadata. Luckily the exiftool command line utility does the heavy lifting when it comes to extracting metadata. Since I want it quickly accessible from Emacs (in either dired or current buffer), a tiny elisp snippet would give me just that (via dwim-shell-co....

Why is self-control so hard? Even though you have control over what you choose to do, you may find yourself in the puzzling position of regretting the decisions of your prior self. For instance, if you need to lose weight but you bust your calorie budget with that extra piece of cake, you appear to be knowingly acting against your own “better judgment.” In this case, better judgment captures the tension between the preferences of y....

In recent years Mexico City has developed a thriving tech scene, with new startups putting roots, vying for talent, and contributing to a slew of events and conferences in the city. Mexico on Rails meetup has been an integral part of the ecosystem, meeting regularly to connect and discuss Ruby on Rails and web development. But the pandemic put most of this activity on hold. While discussing this recently with my Doximity colleague Sam....

Today marks five years since I started working at Íslandsbanki, and as of today, I have resigned my position with the company. Now five years is not a long time, yet much has happened since my first day at the office. I got hired into a newly formed team of experts, each with their own deep knowledge in respective niches, that was given the mandate to “shake things up” in the IT product space at the bank.
