While self-isolating orchestras and amateur musicians are playing ‘Ode to Joy’ from their open windows, I would like to give it a try with my ode to J. If you read the Hacker News or other programming resources, you probably have read the following passage: “One summer weekend in 1989, Arthur Whitney visited Ken Iverson at Kiln Farm and produced—on one page and in one afternoon—an interpreter fragment on the AT&T 3B1 computer.

Writing is the first thing we learn in school - and somehow the cheapest way to create content. Yet it is also what look like the less approachable. Here is a few tips I hope you find useful to improve your content creation

Today I’ve played around with Zig , the new, hip (is it hip?) programming language. I find it pretty neat. I’m going to walk you (and myself) through my first, very short, piece of code. Below you can see the entirety of it. It basically allocates a 2MB buffer and reads a file into it… Yep, not particularly impressive, but this is a judgment free, learning zone, ok?! 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 ....

Update Feb 2021 ] There is now a Terraform Provider for Databricks, it’s a better route - https://registry.terraform.io/providers/databrickslabs/databricks/latest/docs My starting point for a recent bit of work was to try and reliably and simply deploy and manage Databricks clusters in Azure. Terraform was already in use so I set about trying to see how I could use that to also manage Databricks. I had a look around and after trying t..

The story of github.com/zserge/headline). About seven years ago Google decided to shut down Google Reader, a world known and beloved RSS reader, and I think no other service has been so genuinely lamented since then. I remember the warm feeling when I opened Reader on a tiny HTC Wildfire that fit well in my palm and read stories from dozens of blogs of interesting and unusual people I was subscribed to.

string-inflection (by Akira Ikeda ) is a nifty package to cycle through string case styles: camel, snake, kebab… The package includes a handful of cycling functions for different languages (Ruby, Python and Java), but it's easy to mix and match to roll your own. For now, I'm binding C-M-j to string-inflection-cycle , which is an alias to string-inflection-ruby-style-cycle . (use-package string-inflection :ensure t :bind (:map pro..

A lot of new programming languages pop up here and there. It’s a very interesting moment to pick a new one up. The ones I’m interested in are Rust , Nim and Zig . Rust ? Might be a good choice but it’s intimidating. I’m not convinced yet that what it brings to the table justifies its difficulty… Nim is pretty cool. Don’t have that much experience writing Nim though. It has a garbage collector, which you can turn off and use your ..

I haven’t mentioned this on the blog earlier, but in the end of 2018 we bought a small cruising sailboat. After some looking, we went with a Van de Stadt designed Oceaan 25 , a Dutch pocket cruiser from the early 1980s. S/Y Curiosity is an affordable and comfortable boat for cruising with 2-4 people, but also needed major maintenance work. The refit has so far included osmosis repair, some fixes to the standing rigging, engine mai....

It is very easy for your work week to become a random collection of meetings - all with different attendees and different agendas. For developers in particular this can cause a huge hit on productivity as their day becomes disjointed and they are unable to stay focussed for the longer periods they need for their work.

While I do not feel as strongly about online advertising as some , the more I read about sensible solutions to the plethora of problems it causes , the more I come around: ban targeted advertising — if not wholesale, then perhaps to groups below a certain threshold. One article suggested a ban on targeting groups of less than 1,000 people, and that sounds like a good start to me. Permalink.
