I will be at FOSDEM 2026 this year, with a hunger for Belgian waffles and a big bag of freshly printed Landlock stickers. I am looking forward to meeting you all again there! If you are dropping by, and want to chat in person, send me a note! I am collecting links over at https://wiki.gnoack.org/FosdemTwentySix . (You might want to double check regarding a potential railway strike on the 30th.)

I’ve now been through three approaches to load testing for the site, and I think I’ve settled on a solution for the medium term at least. This post explains what I’m trying to achieve, along with the pros and cons of what I’ve tried. Requirements For this particular site, I have four requirements: If the … Continue reading Election 2029: Load Testing →

Forget just installing Android Studio and calling it a day. To operate at scale, you need a local environment that augments your engineering intuition with LLM-powered efficiency. Here is your Day 1 guide to setting up your machine for success. The post Zero to AI: An Android Developer’s Vital Local Setup first appeared on Blundell .

In reply to matlabtest. As far as I can tell, basePath (or similar property) is not supported, only name, kind, type, purpose, repeating, tuple, platform and the quite-confusing mutuallyExclusiveGroup. Perhaps there are some other undocumented properties, but I am not aware of any. The syntax is now documented in Matlab: https://www.ma..

The scale of the cheating crisis in higher education is staggering. Depending on the survey, between 60% and 92% of college students now regularly use AI for their coursework. Professors are ill-equipped, and administrators are broadly turning a blind eye to the entire situation. Treating this as wholly the fault of AI is, however, a grave mistake. The truth is that education has been broken for a long time, and AI was the accelerant ..

looking for an AI - mootxi.co - 6 months ago - eng
what's a good AI that will undress people very realistically? video would be great ,but not necessary.

This is a sensitive subject for me to admit because I wasn’t raised to make excuses. If I fail…the last thing I ever want is to say is. it’s because the system is rigged against me. Sounds like a cop-out. an excuse to make you feel better for your own lack of talent. determination. or (…)

On January 15th 2026, Robert Jenrick broke my election site. Okay, that’s slightly hyperbolic. The site continued to operate, and it would be fairer to say that the actions of Kemi Badenoch and Robert Jenrick exposed a flaw in the data modelling in my site. For those readers who don’t follow UK politics, two events … Continue reading Election 2029: Models and Reality →

The AI train has left the station. Some of us are on board, generating entire modules from specs. Others are still on the platform debating whether the train is even real. Four smart people wrote about this shift this past week. They all agree on what it means. And I agree with them.

A quick guide on how to programmatically set the GitHub issue type with the GitHub CLI, even if built-in functionality for this doesnt quite exist.


Hi, can folders / paths be specified in functionSignatures.json, for example to default to another path?

Feeling empty - lainchan.org - 6 months ago - eng
Andreas Kling has been working on his own operating system for six years and on a web browser for three years. Today, his work is overshadowed by what is supposedly a web browser made entirely with AI (now I remember that there is also an operating system made with AI called VibeOS). I can't believe that the browser is even half as functional. Creating the JavaScript engine and applying all the CSS rules is a complex task that, even with th....

How often have you heard about the speed of Python? What's actually being measured, where are the bottlenecks---development time or run time---and which matters more for productivity? Christopher Trudeau is back on the show this week, bringing another batch of PyCoder's Weekly articles and projects.

Working with LLMs means reviewing way more diffs than before. I discovered delta a while back and this was such a huge improvement to working in a terminal and having amazing syntax highlighting for diffs. If you spend significant time reviewing code...

We’ve all been there: debating a single word in an email or spending ages coming up with the name of a project or even a variable. We treat these choices like permanent, life-altering commitments when most are actually just “hats.”

Deploys should be obvious - dev.to - 6 months ago - eng
I always use a timestamp as a postfix. Makes issues super easy to track. One time I did a deploy, and checked the service, and the deploy worked!... once. Then I reloaded the page, and the page was wrong, it was an old version. Then I reloaded and the new version came back! I'd added a running service. If it was originally running version 1, and I deployed version 2: first load would return v1 page, 2nd load would take v2, then it..

I avoided asyncio for years. Callbacks, event loops, futures — it all felt like unnecessary complexity when threads worked fine. Then we had an API endpoint making 200 sequential HTTP calls to an upstream service. 45 seconds per request. We threw asyncio.gather at it and the whole thing dropped to 3 seconds. That was the moment it clicked. Python’s async story has matured enormously. What used to be a mess of yield from and manual loop ma..

Something that has been on my mind lately is the lack of visibility around messaging architectures. For example, if you’ve built REST APIs, you likely have OpenAPI specs that define your endpoints, schemas, and operations in YAML, and you get documentation, client generation, and contract testing for free. It’s become table stakes for HTTP APIs. But what about event-driven systems? When services communicate through Kafka topics and SQS queu..
