Our funnel analysis SQL generator is significantly easier to use than this contraption.

We started and stopped this work in the first half of 2023, but I’m leaving this here for posterity.

One day my squad mate at a Clojure startup committed a macro to the codebase, and I was quick to reprimand them for it as the same functionality could have been implemented with Clojure core functions. Peeling back the decision rationale, I discovered my colleague had never learned the first

As the title says, I program in Java, I have learned a lot of programming languages since (Scheme, Common Lisp, ANSI C, Python, bash scripting), but the only language in which I could finish some projects and not be constantly frustrated is Java. I do find Java (and my IDE Eclipse) easy and comfy, meanwhile C, which I tried for a project, was just frustrating. I needed to make a gui, in java I would just make a window with swing or javafx ....

Just some updates on my fiction writing “adventures”. Writing pace and schedule My writing pace and schedule have not been very reliable since I started. I went through several months of failed draft attempts, in which nothing got published. What finally kicked me into gear was a story I committed to for an anthology. I drafted that story almost entirely on my AlphaSmart Neo last year, while visiting Glastonbury Tor. I wrote from the hill..

Steve Sanderson, the original creator of Blazor, recently posted a quick peek at some of the new Blazor prototypes they are experimenting with for .NET 8. I think this looks great. Mixing client and server is a brilliant concept. Essentially one would be served with server-side Blazor on the first landing. While using the app, a background task would download the client-side stuff, ready to be consumed at any subsequent access.

Introduction In episode 19, Bill designed and implemented the data structure for an account on his blockchain. This type will have a nonce field to ensure incoming transactions are valid and performed in order. Since the database will be stored in memory and not on disk, the balances in these accounts are reconstructed with information from previous transactions and the genesis block. In this video, Bill takes all the theories discussed ..

I’m working for a client that has separate teams for architecture and engineering. Architecture is responsible for defining the long-term direction of the platform and engineering is responsible making that dream a reality, in addition to their day-to-day sprint work. Each engineering pod has a representative from architecture as one of its members but their role is mostly about producing documents and interfacing between the two teams - th..

I don’t know if I’m just imagining it, but has the Internet gone progressively more crazy the last decade or so? It’s like everyone is so damn angry all the time. If they aren’t angry they’re bitter and resentful. And when they aren’t angry or bitter, they’re so depressed they’re barely able to crawl out of bed. And if they aren’t angry, bitter, or depressed, they have crippling anxiety. Every other week there’s some public blow-out where..

To the best of my memory Tweetbot has been my window into Twitter since pretty close to when it was released. I open Twitter’s web interface from time to time when I had to, but it has not been my primary way to use the service for well over a decade. There are multiple reasons I was fine with living as a second-class Twitter citizen. Primarily no ads, no algorithmic timeline, and syncing between mobile/desktop clients. I use a three m....

According to the always-interesting Ted Gioia, the recent turnaround of Barnes & Noble is to be attributed to the company’s new CEO and his love of books. Quite astonishingly James Daunt, who took the helm of B&N in late 2019, refused to take promotional money from publishers: Daunt refused to play this game. He wanted to put the best books in the window. He wanted to display the most exciting books by the front door. Even more impressi..

Obsidian is an excellent knowledge base that utilizes local markdown files to store information. This means that you retain ownership of your data, in its original form, even if you decide to stop using Obsidian. This feature, in my opinion, makes it the best solution for taking notes. Nothing even comes close. Obsidian is built using Electron, which nerds despise. However, because it is designed with care, using Electron allows for cust....

Our performance tests project is complex, we have +40 .js files, csv feeder files and use custom extensions, so we need to bundle all of that in a single image.

One of my first posts on this blog in 2020 was about my experience switching from VSCode to Emacs for all of my text/code editing work. I still agree with all of the benefits to Emacs I wrote about back then, and my posts on Obsidian show my respect for org-mode as a format and the ecosystem around it – especially org-agenda.

The fundamental issue I see repeatedly is that Interoperability (what Mastodon and Fedi truly offers) is a no-brainer for tech-types but completely uninteresting and in some-cases a turn off for laypeople. Creates a huge adoption issue. I’ve had conversations with people that go “I don’t care that other people can follow me from other servers - I want all my friends to be on the same server as me. Why would I just want some person to be r..

I’ve been drawn to the idea of having many tiny sensors around my home intermittently collecting data points about all sorts of things - the Lumen measurement of our bedroom at night, the noise of the street below us, the AQI of our kitchen. This was mostly a pipedream until Pimoroni came out with a series of wireless monitors with all sorts of sensors that use a Raspberry Pi PICO to send the data to an endpoint of your choosing.
