I’ve been thinking about programming languages a lot recently. A question I asked myself was: why do we work on, refine, and create new programming languages? I thought of several reasons, but they seemed to boil down into two broader reasons: Better abstractions and more automation: Some languages automate and ease some tedious tasks like memory management, concurrency, or type annotations. Almost all languages give you some ways o....

Update: The project moved from Gitlab to Codeberg; you will find it here . I wrote a Matrix bot based on matrix-nio which parses and posts JSON feeds. Wait, what? JSON Feed is a JSON-based format which aims to replace, or at least offer an alternative to, the XML-based Atom and RSS formats. Now, I still offer an RSS feed, but since Cobalt also supports generating JSON Feed, and I find JSON to be a format that is more easy to read ....

There's an algorithm for product discovery, at least for business-to-business products. If you combine that algorithm with decent technical execution and a SaaS business model then you have a recipe for a company. And if your market is big enough then you may even be looking at a billion-dollar startup.

You use the Dell Remote Access Controller (iDRAC) in order to communicate with the RAID array and fetch information about the underlying physical volumes. Unlike traditional spinning disks, Solid State Disks (SSDs) of course have a limited write lifetime, so it's useful to be able to check what percentage of their lifespan remains so that you can proactively arrange replacement. There's a full cheatsheet for Dell's iDRAC elsewhere, this..

You’re a web developer at a social media company that has recently made a big push for modernizing their frontend for the mobile-first era. It has taken a lot of time and effort from many people. Countless challenges, arguments, testing. The release is near. You’re probably a bit anxious. After all, the site is visited by millions of users every day. What if something breaks? Will the users like the redesign? It’s live. You navigate t....

For time display, I've gone back and forth between an always-displayed macOS's menu bar to an auto-hide menu bar, and letting Emacs display the time. Neither felt great nor settled. With some tweaks, Paul Hudson's How to use a timer with SwiftUI , led me to build a simple desk clock. Ok, let's not get fancy. It's really just an always-on-top floating window, showing a swiftUI label, but hey I like the minimalist feel ;) Let's see if it....

SI live in an area with a popular driving road. As such you see a lot of people flying around in fancy cars, motorbikes and bike riders. Between where I am and the start there is an awful bit of road that funnels everyone together. As such a lot of people jump the line to get past the bike riders because there isn’t enough space for them to have their own lane (I keep complaining to my local member about this).

I recently found out about the latest
National Defense Authorization
Act
(from I-Connect007 ) and a new provision for
printed circuit boards
with some government contract procurement rules. If you made it through that first sentence, then there's a good chance the rest of this article won't be too boring for you! This seems like it's a bit of a dry subject, but it's got me excited for what it means for the future of both

While I would happily proclaim that my ur language is Ruby, I spend increasingly large amounts of time these days using Python. And while there are many things that I don't like about Python (the syntax makes my eyes want to weep and then die; thanks Tim Curry / Psych ; around 20 seconds in), the strength of the Python ecosystem is outstanding . Today I'm going to talk about the Python Multiprocessing library which is a standard pa....
