Don’t go far off, not even for a day, because – because – I don’t know how to say it: a day is long and I will be waiting for you, as in an empty station when the trains are parked off somewhere else, asleep. Don’t leave me, even for an hour, because then the little drops of anguish will all run together, the smoke that roams looking for a home will drift into me, choking my lost heart. Oh, may your silhouette never dissolve..

TLDR Somehow my postgres installation was upgraded. When postgres is upgraded its data is NOT upgraded. This means postgres won't start BUT it will be a silent failure; you can only confirm this via the logs. tail -n 10 /usr/local/var/log/postgres.log The Long Version I went through a situation the other day where I would start and stop postgres and the database would NEVER be available for connection. Here is the error that I ke....

I use goodreads a lot because I like to read books and want to find more books to read. This morning I was reading a thread on hackernews on Sarah Manavis’s NewStatesman article and it reminds me of how much I want, I yearn, for useful book recommendations. I think about this pretty much every time I open the goodreads page or app and hope that maybe this is the day they finally fix recommendations, so I figure I would capture some id....

Today is September 11th. I remember waking up 19 years ago, coming into the living room, and my dad getting down on one knee so he was closer to my level. He told me that earlier that morning two airplanes had crashed into some tall buildings in New York City. I didn’t know what that meant at the time, but I soon found out. For several anniversaries thereafter, my elementary school class would spend a minute of silence in remembrance of t....

In the last article we set up pytest for a simple application that computes divisor sums $ \sigma(n)$ and tries to disprove the Riemann Hypothesis. In this post we’ll show how to extend the application as we add a database dependency. The database stores the computed sums so we can analyze them after our application finishes. As in the previous post, I’ll link to specific git commits in the final code repository to show how the project evol..

Some mathy-programmy people tell me they want to test their code, but struggle to get set up with a testing framework. I suspect it’s due to a mix of: There are too many choices with a blank slate. Making slightly wrong choices early on causes things to fail in unexpected ways. I suspect the same concerns apply to general project organization and architecture. Because Python is popular for mathy-programmies, I’ll build a Python project that..

5 Years Podcasting Python With Michael Kennedy: Growth, GIL, Async, and More

Why is Python pulling in so many new programmers? Maybe some of that growth is from Python being a full-spectrum language. This week on the show we have Michael Kennedy, the host of the podcast "Talk Python to Me". Michael reflects on five years of podcasting about Python, and many of the changes he has seen in the Python landscape.

In my craft or sullen art Exercised in the still night When only the moon rages And the lovers lie abed With all their griefs in their arms, I labour by singing light Not for ambition or bread Or the strut and trade of charms On the ivory stages But for the common wages Of their most secret heart. Not for the proud man apart From the raging moon I write On these spindrift pages Nor for the towering dead With th..

Go has a problem. Go modules place a strange naming requirement on modules version 2 or greater. Module names on modules v2+ must end in the major version ala …/v2, and communication of this rule has been weak. It's non-obvious, and the community at large does not understand it. I have seen many very large projects including Google owned projects get it wrong. I brought the issue up at my local Go meetup, and no one had ever heard ....

We did 3 rounds of build/prototypes and I'm really happy with the one we have. Motivation and Context I have two main setups where I do my computing.

Every project is different in many regards and the quality management aspect is not an exception. Most of the time the project would have some type of restrictions and a set of priorities you would need to work on. Different project needs could be illustrated with the following examples: You’re a project manager and you want to know the maturity level of the team when it comes to practices that drive quality. You’re a test manager on a de..

About a year or so ago, GitHub announced that GitHub Actions was generally available . GitHub Actions allows anyone to “automate their workflow” - in other words, run code on committed code - on GitHub’s own servers, and share those actions.

Compilers, these wonderful and intricate pieces of software that do so much and that so many know little of. Similar to the previous article about computer architecture, I'll take a look at another essential, but lesser known, CS topic, Compilers. I won't actually dive into much details but I'll keep it short to my notes, definitions, and what I actually found intriguing and helpful.

Lowercase URL Encoding with Urllib in Python3 (Python3)

Python's urllib module is pretty flexible, and contains a bunch of useful tools - including the ability to urlencode strings via urllib.parse.quote() Unfortunately, it doesn't allow you to specify what case should be used in URL encoding, and defaults to upper-case. Many other libraries/languages use lower case. This becomes problematic where you're url encoding an authentication token (or similar) - when the other side mints a token fo..
