Introduction tl;dr It takes a lot of work, but it’s still possible. For the past year and a half, I have built a bc as a résumé piece, and because it was meant to help me get a job, I wanted it to be as perfect as possible. And I learned a lot of lessons that I will take with me to my current job and beyond. This post is about those lessons and what it takes to make perfect, or nearly perfect, software.

UPDATE: A full Solar System model is now available that you can view, animated using the techniques described in this post! See Ptolemy’s cosmos, to scale .] You will recall my previous blog post that tried to build the necessary scaffolding for me to finally write up my 2017 PyCon Ireland keynote on the structure of the Medieval universe. It ran into several problems with matplotlib animations — but, having written that post, I rea....

Yesterday, me and my partner went cycling. At some point the path was going by a rural road. I was in playful mood so I joked with her how a road sign looked like a penguin. Doesn’t it really? Well, our mood soon turned to horror. Just a mile further I heard an animal in the bushes. I turned my head and saw a deer, hiding in the ditch by the side of the road. “Look, a deer,” I stopped and waved at my partner gingerly. As she saw th....

I like Elliott Cost’s idea, a lot: “A feed is based around time, usually sorted reverse chronologically, whereas an explore page reveals the expansiveness of a website by pulling from disparate sources, indifferent to time, allowing one to jump into the depths of something entirely new.” Look for a new Explore page here over the next few weeks. What a great idea. Permalink.

I’ve never thought of myself as a “car person.” The last new car I bought (and in fact, now that I think about it, the first new car I ever bought) was the quirky 1998 Ford Contour SVT . Since then, we bought a

Can you imagine if Karma was real? You do good, and you get rewarded. Someone does you bad, and they get punished. Oh, life would be a dream… I’m sad to admit that, but Karma is not a practical concept today. It implies that good deeds result in good karma, and good consequences for the individual, and bad deeds result in bad consequences. It’s way too abstract. Us skeptics would wonder what ensures that bad actions receive bad conseq....

I have spent a lot of time thinking about expedition rigs. I started looking for the perfect one to see if I could find something better than the 4Runners and Tacomas Expedition Overland uses. Less than a year later, I bought a 4Runner. I resumed my search a few months later, and almost bought an RV instead of a house. As a home owner I have started searching again — and this time, I decided to talk about my process. I hope this guide wil..

Back when the Raspberry Pi was first released in 2012 Michael Bacarella wrote a blog post on using OCaml and Async on this little device. Since then installing OCaml via opam has become a pretty smooth experience and everything works out of the box when using Raspbian – the default Raspberry Pi distribution.

While cleaning out a drawer last night, I came across my old, beloved Nokia N810 Internet appliance that I bought in early 2008. This thing was sexy and entirely made of aluminum. It had a touchscreen (and stylus), backlit slide-out keyboard, expandable SD storage, GPS and front-facing webcam running Maemo Linux on an ARM CPU. The N810 came out shortly after the iPhone in 2007, and just before Android phones started hitting the market en ..
