Recently my workplace has been accepting some interns as part of contributing back to the industry in general, as well as promoting the brand and hopefully being able to grow and grab excellent candidates in the future when they graduate. One recently wanted some time to sit down with me to ask a few questions. In order to give him the best use of time I asked to have the questions written in advance so I could respond to them before chatti..

I don’t have too much time today, so I’m going to be quick with this month’s book reading list. I will say that this is the end of my third year posting these monthly book reading lists .

I have seen the mistake of confusing the two concepts at least one time, and it is probably not uncommon in cultures that are rather far away from both of them (such as, for instance, at time of writing, the U.S.A.). This is not meant to be an opinionated post advocating for either, and it is also not extremely detailed or accurate (if you want that, read the Wikipedia pages on "Social market economy" and "Socialist economics" ). It inst....

Distance 3.85 km / 2.39 miles Elevation gain 33 m / 109 ft Duration 1h30m Moving 55m Very wet, very few people about: good time to hike! A rather short, easy hike in very heavy rain. No one else was around, so it was easy to park at the trailhead. We went anti-clockwise around the lake (three months later we took the clockwise loop). At the south-western tip of oxbow lake, looking north-east. At the easter..

Distance 6.71 km / 4.17 miles Elevation gain 100 m / 327 ft Duration 2h30m Moving 1h45m A short New Year’s Day hike. We began at the last paved car park before Middle Fork Road turns to gravel, and used the footbridge to cross over Middle Fork Snoqualmie River. Other WTA trip reports had mentioned that the left path (heading east) was closed due to a landslide, so we took the right path (heading south-west).

1. Why WireGuard? When it comes to encrypting traffic between systems, there are a wide variety of different Virtual Private Network (VPN) software available, some of which have been used since the 1990s. Each of them focus on different encryption algorithms and flow control strategies, alongside mechanisms for providing for secure authentication and negotiating encryption keys. Unfortunately, this complexity often translates to mor..

This is likely going to be my last post this year, though maybe not my last post this week… Sounds strange, doesn't it? Anyway, I just wanted to inform you about some further changes and such. Personal computing hardware I have mostly gotten used to my ZSA Moonlander keyboard, and I am writing this post using said keyboard, while it is connected to my MacBook Air, both of which I mentioned in the last update post. macOS is, in fact, rathe....

What a wild year 2020 has been. Even those of us that were closely monitoring the pandemic had no idea how it would change things.

For React Native mobile apps targeting Android and iOS, an easy way to setup its continuous integration is to take advantage of Actions, an automation workflow service provided by GitHub. Even better, for open-source projects, GitHub Action offers unlimited free running minutes (at the time of this writing).

I have already written an article about BOINC without going through its installation. The classic installation of BOINC is done by downloading the BOINC client , but it is also possible to use BOINC in a Docker container. This installation method is easier to script and automate, which makes it very interesting on a headless server for example. Docker installation First of all, let’s install Docker and Docker-compose. On a Linux dist..

Distance 8.59 km / 5.34 miles Elevation gain 236 m / 773 ft Duration 4h25m Moving 2h25m We were mostly following the Kendall Peak Lakes Trail which starts at Gold Creek Sno-Park, though didn’t plan to actually reach the lakes. The main trail was quite popular, so we followed a side trail instead, which offered good views of the ski resort (smothered in mist) and inquisitive wildlife (camp robbers after our lunch).

Update: the latest version of this approach is presented in [[partitioning-heaps-quantile-estimator3]]. Imagine you have a time series. Let’s say, after each new observation, you want to know an “average” value across the last $L$ observations. Such a metric is known as a moving average (or rolling/running average). The most popular moving average example is the moving mean . It’s easy to efficiently implement this metric. However, ....

While playing around with Swift package manager, I had a quick look into code coverage options. Luckily, coverage reporting and exporting are supported out of the box (via llvm-cov ). Ensure tests are invoked as follows: swift test --enable-code-coverage A high level report can be generated with: xcrun llvm-cov report .build/x86_64-apple-macosx/debug/FooPackageTests.xctest/Contents/MacOS/FooPackageTests \ -instr-profile=.build/x86_6....

This is the story of how I managed to get FreeBSD running on a Raspberry Pi 4 with 4GB of RAM, though I think the setup story is pretty similar for those with 2GB and 8GB. 1 I also managed to get Rust built from source, (kind of) which is nice because the default Rust installer doesn’t seem to work for FreeBSD running on a Raspberry Pi. If there’s anything awry with these steps, please contact me so I can fix it. Installing Free....
