This is the public version of an internal doc that I and my colleagues (especially Jit Corn, Jack & Co. Thank you guys.) prepared for the rest of the engineering team. All the points here are from the great articles/videos we have seen and our own experience/expecations working remote due to COVID. This guide tries to set the expectations and provides some guidelines. The remote work environment is different from the office, face-to-face..

Roumeli describes Fermor’s travels around Northern Greece and Macedonia. He visits secluded and remote areas and describes the rugged countryside and how people of these remote regions live. As he meets Sarakatsan shepherds and spends some time with them, visits the impressive monasteries of Meteora, attempts to track a pair of Byron’s slippers in Missolonghi and investigates Kravara and its secret language, he makes acute observations abo..

We arrived at the trailhead near the Sunnyside Cemetry at 9am, and were only the third car to arrive. A chorus of birdsong welcomed us, with countless birds in the bushes, trees and foraging in the fields. It was well worth taking this longer route (rather than parking by the seaside), since we were able to enjoy the very pleasant and easy walk between the fields to the bluff, and saw plenty of Red-winged Blackbirds, Starlings and more.

NOTE: this is about Daniel Gross’ interview on World of DaaS which can be found here: LINKWhat do we mean when we say that a person is energetic? We’re not literally talking about physical energy of course–after all, we’re more or less eating the same 2000 calories everyday, and the image of a founder eating a dozen pizzas and several blueberry pies a day to move faster is almost comical. But if it’s not that, then what is it?

Ever since its introduction in the 2017 paper, Attention is All You Need, the Transformer model architecture has taken the deep-learning world by storm. Initially introduced for machine translation, it has become the tool of choice for a wide range of domains, including text, audio, video, and others. Transformers have also driven most of the massive increases in model scale and capability in the last few years. OpenAI’s GPT-3 and Codex mod..

In my last blog post, I dug into Elm and while I like a number of things conceptually about Elm, the process of implementing nothing more than a maybe 8 element HTML form left me hugely frustrated and annoyed. I also didn't like the way that Elm bundles code and display into one thing. I may be a traditionalist perhaps but the separation of views and code really does work well in practice. I get that Elm is a different thing but it shoul....

Do you understand how a hash table works? What if you could learn about building one while practicing test-driven development? What are best practices when designing a REST API? This week on the show, Christopher Trudeau is here, and he's brought another batch of PyCoder's Weekly articles and projects.

It’s April Cools! We’re taking back April Fools. When I was younger I had a strange relationship with alcohol, not because of any sort of trauma, but because I found it decidedly boring and disgusting to the taste. I didn’t drink in high school, didn’t enjoy parties in college, and didn’t care for tailgating or other sports-based events where drinking was common. I also never enjoyed wine—red is too tannic, white is just meh—and almost all ..

If you understand Italian, the recording of my Playwright session at UGIdotNET’s WebDay 2022 is now available on YouTube 1 . Playwright is a phenomenal cross-browser, cross-platform, cross-language, single-API, mobile-friendly front-end testing tool. I’m looking forward to giving the same session in English sooner or later, but I should first win my laziness and start looking for exciting events with open CFPs. If you happen to know o..

On March 30, 2022, a critical remote code execution (RCE) vulnerability was found in the Spring Framework. This vulnerability is another example of why securing the software supply chain is important to open source.

Dr. Westrum is an Emeritus Professor of Sociology at Eastern Michigan University and author of the Westrum organizational typology model. In his talk, he discusses how an information flow culture reflects how managers shape values and behavior. The first part of this talk will discuss information flow in organizations, as well as provide a c..

This post is about how I’m doing the backup of my Mac using (the great) Carbon Copy Cloner software. Maybe you can take some inspiration. My setup is to have an external SSD that is always connected via USB-C to my Mac, but I don’t want to leave it mounted on my macOS system every time, due to security and because this would cause more disk wear. So I leave my disk attached to my Mac and CCC should mount it and do the backup, just in..

In honor of April Fools' Day, I decided to write about a blockchain topic. The crypto economy is in the process of speedrunning their way from zero to a modern economy, and when you move that fast, a few things have to break along the way. One of those things is corporate governance. Matt Levine's "Money Stuff" is a financial newsletter that I can't recommend enough. If you are at all interested in finance, stocks, and markets, it is ..

Software engineering, knowledge work, or most broadly any type of white collar labor is, primarily, the production of our own psychology. Our mental capacity is our means of production. We embody the values of our work. Our identity is tightly bound up with our careers, knowledge, skills, methods, company, and our industry— we are our work . Having our identities bound to our work, and most dangerously, to an employer severely limits on....

Because here’s something else that’s true. In the day-to-day trenches of adult life, there is actually no such thing as atheism. There is no such thing as not worshipping. Everybody worships. The only choice we get is what to worship. And an outstanding reason for choosing some sort of God or spiritual-type thing to worship-be it J.C. or Allah, be it Yahweh or the Wiccan mother-goddess or the Four Noble Truths or some infrangible set of eth..

Disable the discrete graphics card on an old Macbook Pro (Mid-2010) in Linux

One member of the ever-growing stack of old laptops is my wife’s old Macbook Pro (Mid 2010) . Years ago I installed the maximum allowable RAM of 8 GB as well as a 250 GB SSD instead of the HDD it originally came with. It has the well-known issue of crashing whenever the discrete NVidia graphics are being used. A long time ago I started running Linux on it, as it feels much faster than the latest version of MacOS that would run on it, a..
