I had to travel recently for a conference, and I decided to apply what I've learned about minimalism so far. Traveling as a tech person means carrying more electronics and peripherals than most people, and things can get complicated and heavy quickly. This time, I tried to prevent that, and I succeeded. Since it's a work-related conference, my office laptop came with me, which is small and can be charged with a 30W USB-C charger. Also, ....

7 years ago I left Heroku. Heroku has had a lot of discussion over the past weeks about its demise, whether it was a success or failure, and the current state. Much of this was prompted by the recent, and on-going security incident, but as others have pointed out the product has been frozen in time for some years now. I’m not here to rehash the many debates of what is the next Heroku, or whether it was a success or failure, or how it ....

I don't remember exactly when it started, but I am sure the impetus was a period of unhappiness with my job. This turned into an annual tradition of me trying to sell the company I had built as a birthday present to myself. This year, I sold it.

In the Alchemist by Paulo Coelho there is a quote “There is only one thing that makes a dream impossible to achieve: the fear of failure.” This ties in nicely with an observation from Gino Wickman in a podcast with Lewis Howes (School of Greatness) recently. He observed that in a lot of cases the fear of failure is really a fear of judgement.

Today, probably not just by coincidence, I came across Becoming the Emperor , an excellent New Yorker piece from 2005 on Memoirs of Hadrian, Yourcenar’s other works, and her peculiar career and life trajectory. Having just read the Memoirs, I was glad to see several of my reading impressions confirmed. I found the New Yorker article to be spot-on on Yourcenar’s prose and theme: Actually, some of Yourcenar’s prose is marmoreal, but no..

I’m still using my arm64 4 nodes cluster for experimentation and even to serve some websites. Since I wanted to test some new Cloudflare features, I migrated one of my domain which has a bunch of websites on it. But first a quick and simple way to serve some static pages: Serving Static Pages One way is to build an image with the actual pages in it and let Kubernetes serves them.

I’ve been writing a decent amount of Go during the past 8 years. While I like many things about Go, some of the design choices result in repetitive or longer than necessary code.

Few days ago I bought for 16€ a very nice and useful Raspberry PI 4 fan/hat with a small OLED display, that fits perfectly on the Pimoroni Pibow Coupé 4 and can be turned on only when the CPU reach x ºC (60°C for me). Here are some photos: P.S. I haven’t followed the original instruction for the bolts and screws, but I reversed them, because I think that is nicer to have the screws on top and the bolts hidden on the rea..

When we think of how to represent fractional numbers in code, we reach for double and float, and almost never reach for anything else. There are several alternatives, including constructive real numbers that are used in calculators, and rational numbers . One alternative predates all of these, including floating point, and actually allows you to compute faster than when you use floating point numbers. That alternative is fixed point: ..

Today is the International Day Against Queerphobia (also known as International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia and Transphobia), which is quite a coincidence given the topic of this post is quite related… Update: In Germany, giropay might be a better alternative to PayPal… It uses the data you're registered with at your bank… However, your bank needs to support it, and ours doesn't, apparently… So, apparently PayPal requires you t....

Selected {subject, relation, object} tuples generated by COMET Paper link: https://arxiv.org/abs/1906.05317 This paper describes COMET, a method of generating knowledge bases automatically. Previous work largely focused on encyclopedic knowledge, which has well-defined relationships. This paper, however, focuses on commonsense knowledge. In this paper the authors introduce a “commonsense transformer” which trains on a knowledge base..

What is CockroachDB under the hood? Take a look at its go.mod and notice a number of dependencies that do a lot of work: a PostgreSQL wire protocol implementation , a storage layer , a Raft implementation for distributed consensus . And not part of go.mod but still building on 3rd party code, PostgreSQL's grammar definition . To be absurdly reductionist, CockroachDB is just the glue around these libraries. With that reductionist m....

The quality of your recorded audio for an at home podcaster is a black art. Audio is a fundamentally analog process and Once upon a time, in the antediluvian ages of podcasting (2005 / 2006), I was a podcaster. And then, a decade later, my friend Nick Janetakis, a producer of online courses also taught me a bunch of things about audio quality. Here's one thing to know: You will tell yourself that you can clean up the audio later. T....

In the David Perell podcast with Daniel Gross they also talked about forcing functions.

They talked about how they approach problems as they are forced to deal with the consequences if they don’t - compared to other nations that try to solve problems as they may be impacted by them at some point in the fu..
