Our client, a leading company in the streaming industry, acquired a highly successful indie website with over 50 million unique visitors per month. The site had been built by a single developer who prioritized functionality over maintainability. While the features were mostly bug-free, the design was outdated, and the code relied on aging technologies. The […] The post Case Study: Modernizing a High-Traffic Streaming Platform with the AH..

The past few days I seem to be stuck in a bit of a configuration nightmare. Hopefully I'll have the thing I'm configuring working soon. It's partially working now, but practically speaking not functional. I also added an anti-corruption layer to the frontend code, which is a fancy way of describing a standard way to unwrap the API payload, which theoretically makes the application more portable. #

I adore RSS! Use it literally every single day. I have many feeds on Feedly.com, and add to it every week or two. Tip: use a service to stream quality content to your RSS feed reader. For Hacker News, http://hnapp.com/ does the trick for me. I subscribe to a couple dozen authors on Hacker News. If someone has great ideas, and writes well, I'm very happy to learn from them. Example: in hnapp, search for author:bob1029, there's an R..

When working with code, or anything really, you always apply trade-offs. One example is simplicity versus runtime efficiency , often talked about in CPU-cycles versus brain-cycles , where the latter usually wins. But sometimes the trade-off is hard, s5cmd is such a case - it’s a single new dependencies with massive gains. S5cmd is a very fast S3 and local filesystem execution tool . For those that care it’s written in Go, which i....

It's been well over a year now since I've moved most of my music consumption away from streaming. I started purchasing music again, just so I can play offline at any time (and on my terms). That's not so say I don't stream, but that's now purely reserved for discovery. Most playback happens via Ready Player Mode , a little Emacs player I built when I decided to take playback offline. This post isn't so much about Ready Player and more ab....

The most recent project I worked on is Invoicetronic , a modern API for complete management of the electronic invoicing cycle in Italy (FatturaPA/SDI). We had long used an internal API by our accounting software, which was also utilized by thousands of our end users. We decided to make our experience and expertise available to external developers, allowing them to integrate electronic invoicing into their applications quickly via a publi..

This week I reached a milestone in my most useless side project so far. I finished writing a tic-tac-toe game in Lean 4, along with proofs to guarantee that the game behaves correctly! It “only” took me 20 hours, 1000 lines of code and endless suffering… Totally worth it, as you might expect. Chances are you haven’t heard about Lean before, so I’ll share more details below. But first, let’s have an overview of this article’s contents, since..

searchcode HAS been rebooted see https://boyter.org/posts/searchcode-has-been-rebooted/ for details. By the time you are reading this, searchcode.com’s DNS should have been updated to point at a placeholder index.html file I created. In short I am shutting down the current iteration of searchcode.com, unless something drastic happens in the next few days. The reasons for this… are few, but worth exploring. While I have often desc..

How you engage with the world changes how you experience the world, and how the world experiences you. A snarky and cynical approach, by its default assumption that things are shit, or if they are not yet shit will inevitably turn to; such an approach will give your world a malodorous brownish tint. Granted, snark gives you plausible deniability, a motte-and-bailey that protects you from direct criticism, encountering backlash you can a..

There's this huge financial company in my country that's basically backed by the government. They're running everything — transport, banks, ATMs, payment terminals — total monopoly. You can't even ride a bus without having their app installed and buying a ticket through it. What really caught my attention though are their kiosk terminals. I'm almost certain they're weak as hell. I'm thinking if I can figure out the endpoint these kios..

21st century IT is kayfabe: it's all fake, just for show

In response to Apple vs. Facebook is Kayfabe ... He’s right, though. We are now at 25% of the way through C21. Most of C21 IT today is “kayfabe”: deliberately fake, to fool the audience. SaaS: fake corporate IT services for company directors too cheap to hire competent IT staff. The lie: it’s OK and safe to let other companies run your IT for you. The truth: if it matters, own it, run it yourself. Public cloud: it’s cheape....

From roughly the late 80s until the mid-90s, every month I would visit the newsstand at my city’s train station, hoping to snag the single copy of BYTE Magazine that arrived in town (at least one other hunter was competing with me: I often won, but not always, which frustrated me tremendously). I understood little to nothing with my rudimentary school English, but I was too stubborn to give up. I credit BYTE Magazine as one of my significan..
