I spent the last few days migrating our ASP.NET REST services, MVC web applications and Blazor server apps to .NET 6. Overall the process was pretty straightforward. The few issues I went through were easy to solve and well documented. Things got more involved with the EF Core 6 transition, especially with the Npgsql Entity Framework Core Provider. The official ASP.NET Core 5.0 to 6.0 migration guide was my first stop. It offers the per..

A fool has sought out the book’s greatest scientist, and asked to share his knowledge. The scientist has gone to the beginning of the book to try to understand its origin better. F: Is it true, as they say, that you only know truths? S: Almost only truths, or most things I know are true, or at least more true than I thought yesterday. I can prove it by the scientific method. We in science have studied everything from paragraph breaks to..

I have three different text editors, that I use for three distinct use cases. I’m a software developer, so I basically edit text files for a living, and the editing software that I use for this is fairly important to me. Projects For any substantial editing, either for work, or for personal projects, I currently use Visual Studio Code - generally known as “vscode”. It’s good enough: it’s extremely actively developed, so always up to ....

tl;dr I recommend every developer turn off automatic garbage collection in git. It's one of the first things I do setting up a new machine - and you should do so too.

This is me writing down my discussion with someone from work regarding for loop vs list comprehension in Python. During a code review, I was commenting on a chunk of code to change from for loop to a list comprehension. We also talked about why I wanted it that way. One reason is list comprehension could be (arguably) more readable than a for loop. For a simple loop, that might be the case. Another reason is list comprehension is faste..

Creating things is a delicate endeavour, fraught with peril. People struggle forward through crazy marketplace and environmental complexities just to get from one day to the other. Yet I can't shake off the feeling that we make it harder for ourselves than it should be. I've been trying to work out why. There's a lot to unpack. This post is a start at thinking about it in public.

The phenomenon of “normies” is an interesting one. The term itself is a bit problematic and not one I’d typically use, but as a phenomenon they are still worth investigating. Their perhaps biggest distinguishing feature is that they don’t get “it”, whatever it is. It’s tempting to think that these are an especially mindless type of person with no personality and little in terms of thought going on. I have a theory that normies may not a..

If you've heard the term 'Zettelkasten' flying around recently, then you might be wondering what is all the rage. Well, this book pretty much started this trend. Sönke Ahrens describes in great detail the note-taking process through which Niklas Luhmann was able to achieve phenomenal productivity in writing academic papers. Good news is that you can use this method too.

If you have followed this blog for a while, you’ll know that I am a big fan of JDK Flight Recorder (JFR), the low-overhead diagnostics and profiling framework built into the HotSpot Java virtual machine. And indeed, until recently, this meant only HotSpot: Folks compiling their Java applications into GraalVM native binaries could not benefit from all the JFR goodness so far.

Do you remember the One Laptop Per Child program? What went wrong, and what can we learn from the program's failure? What are the potential pitfalls of charismatic technology, and how can we avoid them when introducing students to programming? This week on the show, former guest Al Sweigart and author Morgan Ames are here to talk about her book "The Charisma Machine - The Life, Death, and Legacy of One Laptop per Child."

Back in 2010, the adage “the right tool for the job” was prevalent within the developer community , but by 2015 it was seen by some as motivated reasoning and in general harmful advice. Nowadays it’s common to hear that we should “Choose Boring Technology” and “optimize our engineering decisions for iteration speed” . My view is that the adage “the right tool for the job” suffered from being transmitted by engineers in an almost folkl....

I’ve been thinking recently about the emphasis put on “new”, specifically for search engines, but the discussion has some merit even in a wider context. I will start wide and narrow down. It is common to conflate new with good, and most being young sometime between 1950-2000 will indeed have seen marvellous improvements in quality of life and technology with each passing year. In the light of that, it’s at least easy to explain how one mi..

Search results are only as good as the search engine’s ability to figure out what a page is about. Sure a keyword may appear in a page, but is it the topic of the page, or just some off-hand mention? I didn’t really know anything about data mining or keyword extraction starting out, so I’ve had to learn on the fly. I’m just going to briefly list some of my first naive attempts at keyword extraction, just to give a context.

The App Store is a crowded space when it come to markdown apps. A quick search yields a wonderful wealth of choice. Kinda overwhelming, but a great problem to have nonetheless. For those of us with org as our markup of choice, the App Store is far less crowded. I wish we could fill more than a screen's worth of search results, so you know… I could show you another pretty gif scrolling through org results. For now, we'll settle on a single....

Skewness is a commonly used measure of the asymmetry of the probability distributions. A typical skewness interpretation comes down to an image like this: It looks extremely simple: using the skewness sign, we get an idea of the distribution form and the arrangement of the mean and the median. Unfortunately, it doesn’t always work as expected. Skewness estimation could be a highly misleading metric (even more misleading than..

What does this program do? At the most reduced level, one could say that a program’s behavior is defined by the effect it has on the hardware running it. That’s not very useful however; when we’re programming, we often have to deal with legacy code and tease out the original intent of the code. Saying that the meaning of a program is entirely encapsulated by the code is saying that the intent and the implementation are the same. They so r....
