Ben Recht, a computer science professor at UC Berkeley, recently wrapped up a 3-month series of blog posts on Paul Meehl’s “Philosophical Psychology.” Recht has a table of contents for his blog series. It loosely tracks a set of lectures that Meehl gave in 1989 at the University of Minnesota. In it, he surveys of the philosophy of science, lays out a framework for scientific debate, and critiques scientific practice. Recht summarizes his ar..

Hi product managers This post is written primarily for product managers instead of my usual engineering audience. I want to explain why engineers may be reluctant to build traditional numbers-based pagination. By this I mean a list page featuring page numbers counting up from page 1, often including both the total number of pages and links to jump to particular pages. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 … 537. What exactly do we mean by classic numbered pa....

Recently I found my desktop motherboard was vulnerable booting malicious payloads due to the use of a developer reference key in production firmware . I have a Gigabyte Aorus X570 Elite motherboard which is known to have a rather problematic UEFI BIOS. Turning secure boot on, without the Microsoft keys present, would prevent any graphical output. The system was booting behind the scenes and I could SSH into it, only graphical output was ..

Update: Doh! I was wrong. There's a better way. So, I totally missed the macOS native emoji picker is actually supported out of the box 😭. Thanks to redditor u/hrabannixlisp who pointed me in the right direction . ns-do-show-character-palette is bound to C-s-SPC by default, which didn't work for me as I use (setq mac-command-modifier 'meta), that is, ⌘ as meta modifier. While I won't be giving up (setq mac-command-modifier 'meta), I....

Common Crawl is the closest thing we have to an open index, though it doesn’t meet your requirement of ignoring robots.txt for corporate websites while obeying it for personal sites. Unfortunately, being open and publicly available means that people use it to train LLMs. Google did this for initial versions of Bard , so a lot of sites block its crawler. Most robots.txt guides for blocking GenAI crawlers include an entry for it now. Comm..

ShellCheck - nicolaiarocci.com - 1 year ago - eng
Today I learned about ShellCheck , a static analysis tool that “finds bugs in your scripts”. It can and should be run on the command line, but an online version is also available. It catches most style and syntax errors and has plenty of options, like ignoring specific errors and warnings, which is helpful in CI scenarios.

I have recently started experimenting with LoRa radios, and the LoRaWAN network protocol. Interestingly it seems that the LoRa ecosystem is simultaneously surprisingly open (both in specifications and implementations), while also having very little definitive documentation on how to actually get started as an indvidual hacker. As such I found the process of learning enough of the protocol to set up my own network surprisingly difficult. T..

Outside of QubesOS and ChromeOS, what's the best desktop OS when it comes to security? Can Linux compete with macOS's security model if properly hardened? (MAC on everything that's feasible to confine, bubblewrap sandboxes for every desktop app, sandboxed systemd services for daemons, "minimal" self compiled kernel with the GrapheneOS patches, hardened malloc etc). If not, are the BSDs possible to adequately secure without *too* much effor..

The nth-order effects of the recent CrowdStrike fiasco [1] [2] [3] will unfold over time. As it stands, it is apparently the single biggest global “tech outage” ever, which has already disrupted everything from airlines to railways to hospitals to financial systems amongst numerous others—globally.

Back in April, I introduced Fresh Eyes : a tiny macOS utility helping me take care of my eyes. I spend a bunch of time in front of a computer screen and Fresh Eyes has been helping me stick with the often recommended 20-20-20 rule . Fresh Eyes 1.7 ships a handful of improvements suggested by users: Postpone Fresh Eyes for 1 hour, 2 hours, 3 hours, or until the next day. Revamped notification. Revamped countdown screen.

GitHub offers permalinks to versions of files and lines, within a repository. They’re easy to create (y keyboard shortcut) and have some nifty affordances like displaying a preview, plus they don’t become invalid as code changes. Use them! The permalinks use the commit hash of a particular version of the file, and thus the contents never changes, because they’re content-addressed and permanent 0 . This is true even as the code evolves: ....
