This is part 6 from series “Tiny Great Languages”. Final code is on Github. Part 1: Assembly. Part 2: BASIC. Part 3: Forth/MOUSE. Part 4: Lisp. Part 5: APL/K. Part 6: PL/0. Let’s talk about Pascal. It’s the language I first learned many years ago, and it becomes the final one we cover in this series. Well, not the full version of Pascal, but a tiny educational subset defined by the legendary Niklaus Wirth.

I enjoyed learning about the concept. However if you plan to read that book, I would advise to start with the last chapter, which gives 80% of the concept, then read the rest as a deep-dive in the details. It would warrant a 4/5, but the unnecessary length, and the reversed structure reduces it by .25. AND YES, I’m conscious this is a noisy rating, and I’m fine with it. Take that! Outline

So, I am starting this  GenAI series where I will share insights related to GenAI and large language models (LLMs). This is the first post, where I’ll discuss what LLMs are, how they work, and other related topics. What are Large Language Models Large Language Models, or LLMs, are a type of AI that can understand and generate human-like text. They’re the technology behind smart chatbots and writing tools, making our interactions with machin....

Years ago I bought a cheap chinese E-Cigarette 510 box mod, the Eleaf iStick Pico 25. It's running the ArcticFox custom firmware which sadly seems to be no longer available . I never really used it for anything, but for reasons I want to get it going again. Unfortunately the display is so dim that it can no longer be used. So I wanted to repair the device. I found this comment on Reddit explaining that it's just a standard SSD1306 12....

Concerned about data breaches? Exposed secrets like API keys and passwords are a major culprit. Secure your software development lifecycle, identify and remove hardcoded secrets in code, and leverage Snyk's secrets detection tools to identify secrets early in development in order to prevent breaches and safeguard your applications.

A friend showed me Simple, Non-Commercial, Open Source Notes . (Warning, this video will berate you for 30 minutes.) My values are different from the author’s, but I appreciate their methodical(??) approach to articulate their needs and explore the solution space of digital note-taking systems. Here, I do some of the same.


Glymur Falls - sam.hooke.me - 1 year ago - eng
Glymur Falls hiding in the canyon. Glymur Falls is a popular day hike with stunning views of Iceland’s second tallest waterfall. The main trail passes through a small cave, has two river crossings and follows the edge of a deep canyon. The trail is fairly challenging, with a relentless 1,200ft ascent that often hugs sheer drops, so I would not recommend it for new hikers. If you’re not able to cross the river, perhaps due to recent he..

One in ten - eftegarie.com - 1 year ago - eng
A long time ago, a young Japanese man decided to start his own bar. His bar did well, even though he noticed that only a tenth of the people liked his bar enough to come back. The other nine never returned. But that’s all he needed to sustain his business—one in ten. He ruminated on […]

I never knew about the connection between Ray Bradbury, John Huston, and Herman Melville. Today, few people are aware that Bradbury, renowned science fiction writer, beloved fantasist, and mainstay on banned-book lists, wrote the screenplay for the 1956 John Huston adaptation of the Melville classic, which starred Gregory Peck as the iconic and obsessive Captain Ahab. Writing the screenplay was a dream come true for Bradbury, until it m..

I am starting a new series, Trading for Programmers (T4P), where I will cover topics related to trading and how programmers can leverage their existing skills. This is the first post in the series. Why Programmers Should Explore Trading Before diving into trading, it’s important to understand why programmers should consider getting into it, even if they aren’t particularly fond of trading. Trading might seem like a world of its own, but it’....

How do you take advantage of Git pre-commit hooks? How do you build custom software checks and rules that run every time you commit your code? Christopher Trudeau is back on the show this week, bringing another batch of PyCoder's Weekly articles and projects.

Aurora Borealis - sam.hooke.me - 1 year ago - eng
During our stay in Iceland, in a rural area 20 minutes north of Selfoss, we were fortunate enough to see the Aurora Borealis (Northern Lights) two nights in a row. The skies were relatively clear, and there was a solar storm with a Kp-index of between 6 to 8 out of 9. These are some of my favourite photos: This time-lapse shows 7 minutes of aurora activity in 6 seconds, so is 70x faster than real life. It consists of 60 individual ph..

Dave Rupert, reasoning on why he likes books: Books are strange objects. Chapters and chapters of coherent research and lived experiences assembled by people who wanted to put it all down in one place. Edited by actual editors who like editing. Designed— down to the weight of the paper, the typography, and the illustration on the cover— to make the experience of reading it enjoyable. Books are uncanny and impractical objects. A terribly..

Here’s my talk from eBPF Summit 2024 . Video (10 minutes) The 0x.tools Extended Task State Sampling approach provides a new observability signal - wall-clock time of all active threads’ activity in your system. You can see both total workload demand of your apps and also drill down deep into individual threads’ activity when needed. This method and toolset give you a single data source with many directly linked fields of informat..

In opsec, duress (“rubber-hose”) attacks are famously hard to address . Cryptographic keys that cannot be lost have poor protections against duress. Travelers can leave key fobs at home should they be accosted. A victim of a break-in can conveniently “lose” or smash a hardware key, erasing any encrypted data. Yes, I know about cold-boot attacks; I don’t recommend at-risk people to leave things decrypted for long durations. I like the ide..

Intro Here’s a quick update on the PiArtFrame. I already posted an update in the old post, so to keep things organized, I decided to write a new one. As reference you can read the old post Basically, GitHub user kevlol has ported the Python code by runezor (the original PiArtFrame ) to C++. This is awesome because: The system is more stable. You can choose the exact refresh time. You can adjust the “black level” of the generat..
