A few weeks back I managed to pick up an incredibly rare laptop in immaculate condition for $50 on Kijiji: a Tadpole Technologies SPARCbook 3000ST from 1997 (it also came with two other working Pentium laptops from the 1990s). I had to drive almost three hours to pick it up on the other side of Toronto, but for a SPARCbook it was definitely worth it seeing as I’m more likely to find the lost city of Atlantis than another one of these agai..

Go as a language is fairly decent. However because questions about why I have issues with tends to come up often enough on the company slack programming channel (see what I did there?) I figured I would write them down and put it here so I can point people at a link when they ask what my complaints are. For the record I have been using Go heavily for the last year or so, writing command line applications, scc , lc and API’s. These i..

It feels like we’re starting to pass the peak of the hype cycle of microservices. It’s no longer multiple times a week we now see a blog post of “How I migrated my monolith to 150 services”. Now I often hear a bit more of the counter: “I don’t hate my monolith, I just care that things stay performant”. We’ve actually seen some migrations from micro-services back to a monolith .

We have just completed a two week exercise with the whole development team to identify, design and estimate the next phase of work. It started as an organic process as we found the best way to do this and then developed into a repeatable process for the latter functionality.

This excellent article looks at the different types of deadlines and the impact they have. The key point for me, and not something I had seen previously defined, is the distinction between real and artificial deadlines:

For much of my career I’ve been focused on building out developer or data focused products with the customer in some form or fashion being a developer on the other end. I fully realize now that I’m destined to spend the rest of my career in that space, either that or trying my hand at wine making. There are a few things that I personally find rewarding about the space that I’ve shared with a number of people individually lately and thought ....

There is a nice new feature introduced by type-inference in Java. I’ve wanted this feature for a while, but without type-inference, it wasn’t possible. The feature is the ability to create a local variable of an anonymous class, and then use the particularities of that anonymous class. For example, in Java 9, to access a new method you’d defined on an anonymous class, you’d need to create a named class. That’s because the type of variab..

Context I wanted to blog about this for years: how to connect to a Kubernete’s loadbalanced service? How to deal with disconnections/re-connections, maintenance? What about gRPC specifically? The answer is heavily connected to the network stack used by Kubernetes, but with the “Mesh Network” revolution, It’s not always clear how it works anymore and what the options are. How it works First I recommend you to watch this great yet simple vide..

When using the Robot Operating System (ROS), it’s fairly common to want to shut down a launched system if a specific node (or set of nodes) exits. This is pretty easy in ROS1, because launch files support the required attribute on each node. As a result, crafting a two-node system where one of the nodes is required is straightforward:
The ml5.js library makes it easy for JavaScript developers to integrate machine learning (ML) in their web application. In this article, I show you how to easily recognize a bison with AI.

For many Monte Carlo methods, such as those in graphical computing, it is critical to uniformly sample from $d$-dimensional spheres and balls. This post describes over twenty different methods to uniformly random sample from the (surface of) a $d$-dimensional sphere or the (interior of) a $d$-dimensional ball. tl;dr: Get a summary of this post via … Continue reading "How to generate uniformly random points on n-spheres and in n-balls"

It’s like being able to write Scala in Javascript, but faster to compile.” That’s the first description of TypeScript that really piqued my interest, by a friend , with whom we used to write a lot of Scala at Twitter. I enjoyed the ergonomics of Scala collections, case classes, Options and Futures, and types and generics. Later, after I left Twitter, I was building another project and chose Python and Django for the backend. That project ....
