Marked Man (mm) is a little program I wrote to view Markdown files like UNIX man pages. (Because who wants to leave their terminal just to open a file?) It uses Pandoc to convert between Markdown and the groff format. As a happy side-effect, this program can read basically anything as a man page: HTML, LaTeX, Word files (seriously), ePub, etc. Anything that Pandoc can read, Marked Man can handle. Installing I’m working on getting th..

These trees are procedurally regenerated on every page load. Basic algorithm At the heart of this algorithm, there is a recursive function which draws a tree branch (as a rotated black rectangle) and its sub-branches. The function calls itself recursively for the two sub-branches, using smaller branch sizes. When the width is finally too small to continue for the branch we’re looking at, we draw a leaf and stop there. To randomize th....

This article presents a hypothesis on what the (not too far in the future) world of AI-assisted Software Development will look like. In a line, it’ll read something like this: Concepts governing software creation will stay the same, but the pipeline is going to look incredibly different. At almost every stage, AI will assist humans and make the process more efficient, effective and enjoyable.

I’ve been pretty busy this new year with a lot of unpredictable detours. As such I completely missed the deadline of releasing the whatsapp clone application I promised for the end of year. I’m now in the process of uploading modules into the online course for the WhatsApp clone. Unlike previous clones I plan to make this far simpler as a lot of the work was already covered in the Facebook Clone module. This mostly focuses on features t..

In Matthew 18:23-35 we find the Parable of the Unforgiving Servant. The story goes like this: a king wants to settle his accounts, and calls to himself his servant who owes him a sum of money. The servant is unable to pay, and falls down before the king, begging for mercy. The king relents and wipes the servant’s slate clean. The story follows from there, and the servant whom the king forgave his debt is now demanding that his own ser....

I’m building a board for robotics, but it’s also useful for IoT and home automation. What’s it do? What problem does it solve? It’s basically a WiFi interface to a variety of I2C-driven devices (motors or sensors). The I2C side is Engineered to be highly robust and reliable.

I’m building a robotics board that basically is a WiFi REST interface to a variety of I2C sensors - the I2C side uses an I2C switch driven by an ESP32. My first RBOT board arrived, but alas, I got schooled on surface mount part numbering.

My top used shell command is |. This is called a pipe. In brief, the | allows for the output of one program (on the left) to become the input of another program (on the right). It is a way of connecting two commands together. For example, if I were to run the following: echo "hello" I get the output hello. But if I run: echo "hello" | figlet The figlet program, changes the letters in hello to look all bubbly and cartoony. This....

As I mentioned recently , we’re migrating to xcode 10.1. This weekend we entered phase 2 of the migration which allows you to test your builds with xcode 10.1. To do this just set the build hint: ios.xcode_version=10.1. If you run into issues with xcode 10.1 builds let us know ASAP. This is very urgent as phase 3 will kick in this coming Friday. In phase 3 we will flip 10.1 as the default which means that builds sent on Friday will impli..

For the master bathroom remodel , my wife chose a 12” x 24” tile . Unlike a standard square 12” x 12” tile, I felt that having the tiles aligned such that they go “straight up” will look a bit off and that they’d appear better offset.
