Writing a Go/C polyglot Someone on a Slack I’m on recently raised the question of how you might write a source file that’s both valid C and Go, commenting that it wasn’t immediately obvious if this was even possible. I got nerdsniped, and succeeded in producing one, which you can find here. I’ve been asked how I found that construction, so I thought it might be interesting to document the thought / discovery / exploration process that got m..

The Valuable Dev has some good tips for stress management . I will write an in-depth article about my own strategies at some point, but in brief: Go home. My job moved me across the country. Going home a few times a year helps keep me grounded, and reminds me about what actually matters. Make friends at work. Love ‘em or hate ’em, you will spend more time with your coworkers than almost anyone else. At least learn to like them. Don’t wor....

I’m a sucker for a good pseudocide story . Isabelle Kohn has a nice writeup on the ways investigators track these people down , and Gizmodo posted an interesting article about the psychology of faking your own death . Back in 2009, Howard Swains talked about this topic as well . Interesting stuff. Permalink.

A friend of mine used to pirate all sorts of things. He didn’t realize it at the time, but he grew up in the golden age of piracy: Napster had proven the idea just a few years ago, and sites like The Pirate Bay and Kickass Torrents had since stepped in to keep the dream alive and well. Fast-forward to today, though, and most of those sites have shut down. The Pirate Bay still manages to limp along , but copyright laws and watchful Intern..

I used to live in the preparedness space. I found Doomsday Preppers late one night in college, and despite a sensational portrayal of some already sensational people, I got hooked. I spent the next two years reading prepper blogs , listening to their podcasts , stashing supplies, and building a bug-out bag. I even wrote a book about it all. Preparedness fell to the wayside when I left college, though, until nutnfancy’s three ..

This post covers building and testing a minimal, but still useful, C project. We'll use Google's gtest and CMake for testing C code. This will serve as a foundation for some upcoming posts/projects on programming Linux, userland networking and interpreters. The first version of this post only included one module to test. The test/CMakeLists.txt would also only expose a single pass-fail status for all modules. The second version of....

I like seeing passionate people talk about their craft, and Carl Medlock has a passion for Tesla Roadsters. This story reminded me of Rich Benoit rebuilding his own Tesla . When I want to get away from my screen I stick with woodworking for the most part, but I would love to get into this sort of work. I can build out my car , but I would love to do more. Permalink.

I have a confession to make. I used to put two spaces after each sentence, as it used to be done by typewriter typists before computers [citation needed]. The moment when I started to form this habit was around 2010. I was young and easy to impress, and I was picking up more advanced Emacs use working on the TeX source for my diploma thesis. While editing these large chunks of free-form text was when I discovered the fill-paragraph functi....

Until recently, one of the top technical risks facing SoundCloud’s Android team was increasing build times. Our engineering leadership was well aware of the problem, and it was highlighted in our company’s quarterly goals and objectives as modularization. Faster build times means more productive developers. More productive developers are happier and can iterate on products more quickly. Modularization is key to decreasing build times, but a..
