Introduction Once I discovered programming, I was so good at it that I knew that I would make a career out of it. I was wrong. I was recently let go from my job. While it hurt initially, I think it has actually been good for me because I have a chance to reinvent myself and leave an industry that I have begun to believe is fundamentally broken and full of perverse incentives .

I do not use Qubes OS anymore. Consider this article outdated in various regards. This is going to be a rather long post, and I cannot add sources for everything right away. I may add sources at any time without a notice (my edit policy still applies for other kinds of edits nevertheless). Note that for some things I might never be able to provide sources as these are simply things I heard about in public chatrooms. As you may know, I ....

The twentieth of every month is a special day here at my blog because that’s the day I take a look at how my blog is doing. It’s a day of statistics and numbers and a day of reflecting.

Sometimes I want to upload something to a brand new directory in one of my GitHub repositories, and I want to do it via the web interface. Maybe I’m on another computer that doesn’t have git - perhaps a public computer where I do not have the necessary permission to install new software.

Close to month and a half has passed since the last update. So many things have happened during that time. I’ll only write about tech related topics. It’s not a hard constraint but it’s also not a personal blog about my life. The project that takes most of my free time is the custom controller for CG artists. Unfortunately the BLE version is on hold. I have not been able to fix Windows pairing problems. I have bought The Bluefruit LE..

Sometimes hacking requires doing things that, while possible to do with some algorithm, simply aren’t supported by any existing implementation. Usually for good reason. A good example of this that I’ve run into in the past is needing to initialize a hash algorithm with a specific state. There’s really not any reason to do this unless you’re trying to execute a length extension attack , and with the exception of HashPump (which was writte..

When Tolkien first published the Lord of the Rings some critics mocked it by asking why any sensible adult would read a book about elves and orcs. They doubted whether it had any themes beyond the comprehension of a seven-year-old. 1 Yet one theme that runs through much of Tolkien's work — including the Lord of the Rings — is the relationship between language and power.

btrfs means no evil! btrfs is awesome! A few weeks ago I listened to one of the Linux Unplugged podcasts about btrfs. It was a reminder that btrfs is great. I have been using btrfs for a few months now, so here is my comment. For those who aren'

The key to growing in a scale-up environment is to be willing to continually give away what you were working on, give away that part of your ‘lego tower’, to free yourself up to focus on newer challenges. It’s in this intentional embrace of continuous change that growth occurs.

In the last 2-3 weeks, after seeing a lot of recommendations, I decided to read the Refactoring UI book and then dove into TailwindCSS. Design has always been a huge gap in my skillset. As frontend complexity increased over the last decade, it seemed less and less worth it to invest time to fill it. Then came TailwindCSS.

I recently had a day where I had about 10 different meetings - all on different subjects. I knew that I would struggle to be productive in each of them if I turned up for them unprepared and had to switch subjects each time.

So last week I got an email from my friend Michael Kennedy. Michael runs the TalkPython Training website, arguably the best place where you can learn Python today. He also hosts two popular Python podcasts: TalkPython and PythonBytes , the latter co-hosted with Brian Okken. He is super active in the Python space, so much that he received the Python Software Foundation Fellow Membership back in 2018. I first met Michael back in 2014, I ..

Truck Tenets is a series I’ve been wanting to do for a while. Like, a while — I’ve got draft posts dating back to 2016. It’s only by my sheer inability to see anything through to completion that none of them have seen the light of day…until now. The idea behind the series is pretty straightforward: there are ideas that I live my life by, why not talk about them? Some are high-level and abstract, like “Less is more”, and others are more ..

The snapcraft CLI (the tool used to create snaps) has long had support for building snaps that use both ROS 1 and ROS 2. ROS 2 Foxy Fitzroy is the latest ROS 2 LTS, which runs on Ubuntu 20.04 (Focal Fossa). The snapcraft CLI recently gained experimental support for building Foxy snaps, so I wanted to walk you through doing exactly that with the goal of helping both of us: getting you familiar with this new feature, and at the same time gett..

Finally, The project about mapping wild mushrooms in Lebanon is out! The project consists of a map with wild mushroom specimens, their locations, along with pictures and descriptions of them. It is based on the only two research papers on the topic I've found, Joseph Thiébaut research paper Champignons observés dans le Liban et la Syrie de 1930 à 1933 along with Nadine Modad research paper Survey and identification of wild mushrooms in Leb..
