Fiction It’s that part of the late afternoon where the sun has dipped below the horizon but it’s not dusk yet. I walk out of the air-conditioned sanctuary of my house, and step onto the porch. The now weakened humidity of the mid-September breeze envelopes me. I love Indian summer. My bare feet relish the feel of the unvarnished, and uneven wood below. The road is full of dust. The sky is baby blue, and gradients all the way to pin..

This is my take on software engineering ladders and what it takes to be promoted from one band to another.

At Jane Street we use a pattern/library called “expect tests” that makes test-writing feel like a REPL session, or like exploratory programming in a Jupyter notebook—with feedback cycles so fast and joyful that it feels almost tactile. Having used them for some time now this is the only way I’d ever want to write tests.

I encourage people who fetch my keys to verify over multiple bands; for instance, they can fetch it over both Web Key Directory and DANE. They can also use something like Keyoxide to verify that it is associated with many other online accounts, perhaps including the account I was using when I first met that person. The later isn’t exactly verifying “out of band”, but it’s super helpful. If you’re willing to do some of that (a big “if”: ..

Purchasing a property is a significant expense and buyers have worked hard over years to make it happen. Upon receiving the deed though, owners are not able to sleep safe and sound − there are rules and taxes, impeding on the peaceful life that owners had dreamed of.

Full credit to the original author here for a pretty good recipe. Its tasty and simple, but I felt that there we’re a couple odd things I would change. I’d decrease the amount of worcestershire include. The flavor was pretty good, but I just continued to taste it over the other flavors so I think […] The post Instant Pot Beef Stroganoff first appeared on hypergeometric .

You may or may not have heard the IndieWeb term POSSE , which stands for "Publish (on) Own Site, Syndicate Elsewhere". Although the term itself is relatively new to me, the approach that it describes is one that I've preferred for a long time. Syndication, though, has generally been something that I've treated as a manual task: tweeting/posts links that I think are likely to be of interest (often skipping more general posts like th....

About a week ago, I added an Emacs function to insert SF symbol names . This is specially useful for SwiftUI. I didn't bother too much with inserting symbols themselves since I hadn't figured out a way to render them for all buffers. That's now changed. Christian Tietze and Alan Third both have useful posts in this space: Emacs, fonts and fontsets Use San Francisco Font for SF Symbols Everywhere in Emacs I'm currently using the f..

In a previous post I documented my experience with the Meshtastic project and one of the TTGO T-Beam boards. Since then, I've experimented more with meshtastic and its capabilities, while the new version 2.0 of the project got released, so some updated notes are in order!

Maximising privacy and control: Rooting and Installing Valetudo on Roborock Vacuum Cleaners

I am not a fan of “smart” devices; they try to bring some upper class luxury to the middle class using technology. For example, vacuum cleaners: those who cannot afford a cleaning lady, can probably afford a robot vacuum cleaner that does some vacuuming for you. However, these devices come with the cost of privacy as everything it does do is sent back to the vendor. Is it possible to have both the privacy and cheap comfort? Roborock Somew....

Another year, another books roundup. This one is slightly late because I was traveling with Yee Aun at the beginning of the year, so please file any complaints with her. Some changes in reading technology - This year, I got a bookshelf - the Ikea Hemnes, which turned out to be slightly taller than makes sense for my room. I'm still very happy with it. As a consequence, I ended up buying and reading more physical books. I also got a n....

If you find yourself in a team that needs to largely increase in size (happened to me twice at Uber) whether at a big company or a rising startup, you will end up interviewing a lot.

I’ve been adding Sorbet and type checking gradually to a legacy Ruby codebase dating back to the 2010‘s. First up was getting all or most files as (a topic for another day): # typed: true Now I’m gradually adding method annotations, using sig annotations, to tell Sorbet what types a method accepts and returns, like so: sig {params(x: SomeType, y: SomeOtherType).returns(MyReturnType)} def foo(x, y); ...; end Docs: https://sorbet.org/d..

Back in the late 2000s, my teenage daughter and I went to a local mall one weekend to do some shopping. As usual, I insisted we drop into the Apple store before leaving. The store itself was quite busy. There were people playing with nearly every item on display at the tables near the front of the store, and even more people hovering around those people to catch a glimpse of what they were doing.

Have you ever needed to handle signal events within your ZX script? For example, what happens if you need to handle a graceful shutdown of your long-running or infinite-running script? Or what happens... The post Listen for SIGINT and SIGTERM Events in a ZX Script appeared first on The Polyglot Developer .

Have you ever heard about the saying Not your server, not your data or Cloud is someone else’s computer ? These sayings are there to remind everyone of the risks that can happen when you trust a service with all of your data. What happens if you put all of your family photos on Google Photos and your account is closed one day with a cryptic reason and you have no recourse? How will you get back your photos?

I strongly believe that you should avoid connecting to production environments from local developer machines as much as possible. But sometimes, e.g. in order to analyse some specific kinds of failures, doing so can be inevitable. Now, if this is the case, I really, really want to be sure that I’m aware of the environment I am working in. I absolutely want to avoid a situation as in the catchy title of this post, when for instance you..
