I usually talk about the things that I do that were successful. Today I want to discuss something that I tried but failed at. Documenting failed approaches is just as important, though less enjoyable, as documenting what we excel at. In order to explain the failure, I need to get a bit deeper into how computers handle memory. There is physical memory, the RAM sticks that you have in your machine, and then there is how the OS and CPU presen....
The Tour de France arrives yearly and this time NBC (Peacock) decided to no longer offer the World Feed.

I’m encountering a somewhat controversial dilemma…in a few words: I can either write about what I’ve done, or I can do something. Let me put it this way: I’m often caught between doing (new) things and writing about them. Honestly, I’d rather dive into solving problems and making improvements than document what I’ve done, due to this, as soon as I solve one problem, my mind jumps to a next thing, which means I rarely stop to take my time ..

Introduction Link to heading I’ve probably spent way too much time writing about cherry trees already (see Growing a cherry tree on a north-facing balcony 2019-2021 ).

This year has seen a resurgence in really high quality systems programming meetups. Munich Database Meetup , Berlin Systems Group , SF Distributed Systems Meetup , NYC Systems , Bengaluru Systems , to name a few. This post summarizes a bit of disappointing recent tech meetup history, the new trend of excellent systems programming meetups, and ends with some encouragement and guidance for running your own systems programming events. ....

back to Smart Home overview A while ago my power net company installed new smart power meters, specifically the Iskra MT681 . It has a standardized infrared interface to get some data from it. There are different designs available to attach a microcontroller, both open-source and commercial. I've gone the lazy route and bought one from eBay . Unfortunately the meter is mounted in the basemet of my apartment building, too ....

In my day job at Decodable , I am currently working with Terraform to provision some cloud infrastructure for an upcoming hands-on lab. Part of this set-up is a Postgres database on Amazon RDS, which I am creating using the Terraform AWS modules . Now, once my database was up and running, I wanted to extract two dynamically generated values from Terraform: the random password created for the root user, and the database host URL. On my way..

This is kind of a followup post to Using a Mac Mini as a bedroom PC for Kodi, Moonlight and YouTube . It's been nearly a year since I set up a Mac Mini as my one-stop-shop for all multimedia related tasks in the bedroom. It's generally worked well, and both streaming media, games, general web browsing and PC usage has been smooth. You're rolling around in bed, playing video games, watching YouTube, or maybe the freshest episode of Sm....

Reading code is a Skill (with a capital letter, yes) that is really important for developers. You cannot be a good developer without it. Today I want to talk about one aspect of this. The ability to go into an unfamiliar codebase and extract one  piece of information out. The idea is that we don’t need to understand the entire system, grok the architecture, etc. I want to understand one thing about it and get away as soon as I can. For e....

Does Python round numbers the same way you learned back in math class? You might be surprised by the default method Python uses and the variety of ways to round numbers in Python. Christopher Trudeau is back on the show this week, bringing another batch of PyCoder's Weekly articles and projects.
