Caching is a powerful technique used by software engineers to speed up their applications. But what exactly is a cache, and how does it work? In this article, we'll dive into the technical details of caching, explain how it can improve the performance of your applications, and provide real-world examples to help you better understand this essential concept.

Race conditions can cause unpredictable and hard-to-reproduce bugs in software systems. In this article, we'll explain what race conditions are, why they occur, and how you can design your system to avoid them.

Last edited 2025-10-11 When I first heard about this, I didn’t think it made much sense. When I was using virtualbox on a macbook running windows, I could see the performance degradation inside the VM in comparison to normal system use on the host machine. With GPU passthrough, I can’t really tell the difference between host and guest machine performance anymore (in most scenarios). It took me a while to discover this and when I did, I boug..

Computers don't perceive the world in the same way we do. So, a common point of confusion for students just starting out with machine learning is how to bridge the gap between fully colored images and the sequence of numbers that a computer uses. We will focus on explaining this gap in this article.

Have you ever installed a Python package without knowing anything about it? What best practices should you employ to ensure the quality of your next package installation? Christopher Trudeau is back this week, bringing another batch of PyCoder's Weekly articles and projects. We also have Python Software Foundation executive director, Deb Nicholson, to share details about PyCon US 2023.

In my previous post, I shared my my experiences with k3s. Today I will show how easy it is to set up and host a simple static web page. Prerequisites You will need a server (or your computer) and a DNS domain name. For my playground, I used OVH Public Cloud instance - D2-2 with Debian 11, and *.k3s.domain.com domain name. Install k3s Installing k3s is very simple. Just execute curl -sfL https://get.

I’m in California for work this week, and it’s been incredibly productive. Meeting with teammates is an incredibly rewarding experience in-person, and I was able to check out our new offices. Flying in on Sunday gave me some time to walk around the California sun, and I ambled in to a bookstore. I picked up a copy of American Prometheus about the life of Robert Oppenheimer, and it was a special kind of magic to read about Oppenheimer’s li....

Installing gentoo isn’t as hard as people describe. People get very elitist about what distro they use, what init system, if they use a tiling window manager and so on but the truth is I don’t think anyone cares. There is a place for everything so use what is right for you. Gentoo is a source-based distribution so expect a lot of time spent compiling programs especially if you are using a desktop like GNOME.

The Nordic Flowbased external parallel run is still going strong and its two months since my first look so time for an update! If you missed it, please see the first part for a general introduction and some data remarks. Flowbased Domain Results Lets start with looking at the capacity calcuation process and domain. The flowbased process output seems to be still quite stable. From business day 2022-09-01 until the last business day pos..

What is a transducer anyways? Specifically, from the documentation 'a transducer is a transformation from one reducing function to another'. We can think of a transducer as a context-independent transformation composed of, say, many reducers (like map and filter). If we think of functional programming as a

This is my generative AI take. I’m sure there are many like it, but this one is mine . When it comes to social trends I’m often on the far side of Moore’s Chasm . I signed up for Snapchat a year after all of my friends, and joined Instagram two years after everyone else. So it was only appropriate that it took weeks after the internet was set on fire for me to see the value that applications of Large Language Models like ChatGPT and ....

SSTOTP is as simple as it gets for a TOTP implementation. The libary can do the following: Generate TOTP Secrets Generate TOTP Tokens Validate TOTP Tokens Tokens are valid for 30 seconds, and a step tolerance of two is implemented to account for clock skew. It has a single standard library dependency, which is base32 . At this time, it is considered feature complete. Generating otpauth:// QR codes is left as an exercise to the re..

I often tack on notify-send at the end of a long running command to get a desktop notification when the command is done. ./long-running-build-command; notify-send "Build done" notify-send uses the Desktop Notification spec that relies on DBus to propagate a request to show a notification. This is a widely supported standard in the Linux ecosystem powering all notifications, regardless of which desktop environment you use. However my simple ..

In case you did not know, Manim is an programmatic animation libary for Python, famously used for the beautifully designed mathematics instructional videos of the 3Blue1Brown YouTube channel. My problem is that I wanted to use it to generate animations of a piano keyboard, and, in order for the keyboard to look correct, the keys should have rounded corners. On the bottom. And only on the bottom. And Manim couldn't do that. Since ..

I think a majority of crypto currencies are not valuable as a currency and are run with pump and dump schemes that a lot of people end up fooling for. There are stupid things like stable coins that aren’t stable and meme coins. A lot of people don’t use crypto currencies as a currency for buying and selling things but instead trying to profit with buying when it’s cheap and selling when it’s high.
