Needed a VPN to test an API from a different location. Gave Mullvad a try. Pretty neat, you can generate an account number without providing an email address. You can also pre-pay with a ton of options, including cash, crypto, credit cards, PayPal, wire transfers… After seeing your account credited, one can download a generated WireGuard configuration . Also a WireGuard noob, so took this opportunity to give it a try. The WireGuar....

Seals at Horsey Gap We arrived at Horsey Gap at 12:45pm on a Saturday. There is a dedicated, paid car park, which is the only option for those who have come by car. The fee is reasonable, and although the car park is not very big, cars generally seem to leave frequently enough that you soon get a space. Following are some of my favourite photos I took of the seals and their pups. While most of the seal pups are down on the beach, a handf..

Our Creative Director asked me if I could estimate the number of production releases we have pushed so we could bost about it on our website . I quickly figured out a strategy that would work using just the heroku apps and heroku releases commands, but realized I would need to draft a script to iterate and parse the outputs. I also knew it would be best to do this in bash to make use of those heroku-cli commands. I’m ashamed to say my ba....

While recovering from my second bout of COVID, I have been looking back through the pictures I took on my around-the-world trip this summer ( which you can read more about here ). On the Europe leg of the trip, we were lucky enough to visit some of the best museums in the world, but we also found some inspiring art in unexpected places. Excluding famous works, here are some selected favorites:

Yesterday was a beautiful, sunny, cold winter Sunday. I felt like going out and enjoying nature, so I took a solo hike in the Foreste Casentinesi National Park, about an hour’s drive from home. This one marks my very first technology-assisted hiking adventure. It may seem weird for someone who’s been hiking for so long, is a notorious geek and is a professional computer programmer to have never used technology before. A trail map and some....

Python isn’t slow. The core eval loop , while slower than a JIT, is no slouch when it comes to dispatching bytecode. There is no reason that business logic written in Python which orchestrates the operation of highly optimized extension libraries should be a bottle neck. Time is precious, get to the point Code and benchmarks are here , fair winds and following seas. Also, hey, if you’re real busy because you hav..

Since my earliest university days, I’ve spent a lot of time trying to get better at computers, immersing myself in the world of Linux, and generally improving my software development skills. One of the aspects that was the most helpful to help me grow was attempting to replicate my normal dev workflow, but with less: Learn to operate on Linux not Windows, then learn to do dev via on the terminal instead of GUIs, and eventually learn to do..

If you want an overview of how things are in Lahaina four months after the fire, check out Jesse Wald’s video. TL;DR: The EPA just completed the hazardous materials removal project and now the main debris removal will start and take about a year. The devastation is just so visible now, makes me so sad. … Continue reading Lahaina four months after the fire

For those who don’t know me, I’m a demographer. I study population. And my first love in fantasy was, of course, Middle Earth. How many people live in Middle Earth? Being a demographer, I was mainly interested in the data side of things. Tolkien is frustratingly vague about population. He almost never gives us estimates of settlement sizes, and many of the larger metropolises of Middle Earth (like Pelargir) never actually appear on the..
