When we build a new feature in RavenDB, we either have at least some idea about what we want to build or we are doing something that is pure speculation. In either case, we will usually spend only a short amount of time trying to plan ahead. A good example of that can be found in my RavenDB 7.1 I/O posts , which cover about 6+ months of work for a major overhaul of the system. That was done mostly as a series of discussions between tea....

Technical overview This post is mostly for scene-setting purposes. There’s nothing particularly remarkable here, but it’s useful to get the plain facts out of the way before we get into genuinely interesting design aspects. Just as a reminder, go to https://election2029.uk if you want to see what any of this looks like at the moment. … Continue reading Election 2029: Technical overview →

Why are BASIC-based tools such as Gambas or FreeBASIC so overlooked? Is it because of some negative bias against Visual Basic? I mean, they are simple enough to develop trivial programs quickly, but powerful enough to develop very complex things. Moreover, in my humble opinion, the syntax is equal or even simpler than that of languages like Python or Ruby. Gambas makes it extremely easy and even fun to create GUI applications. They really r..

Nemá-li náš národ být zcela zničen a nemá-li přijít o svou budoucnost, nesmí ztratit svou paměť. A ta je ve vašich rukách. Národ nesmí zapomenout na zločiny, jichž se na něm dopustili správci jeho věcí veřejných. Tedy politici a úředníci na všech úrovních. Aby se však mohl příští Národní tribunál vyrovnat s příslušnými zemskými škůdci, musíte vy, občané České republiky, přiložit ruku k dílu. Zasílejte proto, prosím, na adresu narodnitribuna..

I’ve been working on arkaine’s OCr service all weekend, and need a break. I’ve been toying with the idea of an equation explainer that copies the style I present complicated math in my paper club presentations. I’ve decided to step away from arkaine and try using it a bit in a prototype. Hence: eli5-equations. Want to get a walk through of a complicated equation? Pass it in with some context and see if your evening i..

Problem to solve: Turn on and off remotely a Raspberry Pi 4B with an external HDMI display that acts as a kiosk to show Grafana dashboards in full screen using Firefox. And clear the RAM every 3/4 hours to avoid the Firefox crash. More details: The major problem is due to the fact that, after 5/6 hours of Firefox being open and continuously updating Grafana statistics, Firefox crashes because it completely fills up the RAM of the R..

About a month ago, the CPython project merged a new implementation strategy for their bytecode interpreter. The initial headline results were very impressive, showing a 10-15% performance improvement on average across a wide range of benchmarks across a variety of platforms. Unfortunately, as I will document in this post, these impressive performance gains turned out to be primarily due to inadvertently working around a regression in LLVM 1..

I just watched an incredible interview with legendary tennis coach Darren Cahill, now coaching Jannick Sinner. The interview is outstanding and worth watching; Cahill is remarkable and a great communicator. In the final part, they’re talking about Jannick when Cahill drops an incredible Jannick quote: Don’t worry about criticism from someone you wouldn’t take advice from. That’s profound for a boy who’s just 23 years of age.

Webhooks are surprisingly hard to process correctly. Almost every software project I’ve worked on has needed to process webhooks from third party vendors, and almost every team I’ve worked with has missed one detail or other in the implementation. In this post I’ll go over some of the details that you should think about when designing an endpoint to process webhook events. Read more on sophiabits.com

Should you always start testing your code with unit tests? When does it make sense to look at integration or end-to-end testing as a first step instead? This week on the show, we speak with previous guest Eric Matthes about where to begin testing your code.
