Out of all the topics I want to tackle here, I feel most excited to talk about adventuring. Although my passion for it all but died out in high school, after seven moves in as many years, it reignited in college: when I had to decide whether my profession would be the anchor that kept me stationary or the means to a nomadic lifestyle down the road, I chose the latter. This choice has informed every major decision I have made since then, and..

Stewart Brand, with a fascinating look at the results of conservation efforts amidst cries that the sky is falling: “The trends are favourable. Conservation efforts often appear in the media like a series of defeats and retreats, but as soon as you look up from the crisis-of-the-month, you realise that, in aggregate, conservation is winning. The ecologist Stuart Pimm at Duke University in North Carolina claims that conservationists have..

I love bookmarklets, those small and elegant lines of javascript that you can bookmark and which do random functions in the browser when clicked. uri-editor.js is 1-line of HTML that’ll run a text editor in your browser. Drag the link into your bookmarks to save it as a quick browser-based editor tool for those moments you need a quick editor nearby. #!uri-editor.js

Shipping production software requires a lot of housekeeping; so much so that many developers mentally block out just how much time a day they spend endlessly shepherding their work through the release lifecycle. Does the pull request have merge conflicts? Are tests passing? Is the linter happy? Is some other automated check failing? Most of these failures require intervention; whether it’s a finicky spec failing in a test suite or somethi....

Intro I've been writing this post as I go, and you may still see changes if you check back from time to time. This post is for writing about things I'm figuring out, and for keeping notes on what I want to figure out next, as I get ramped up on Common Lisp. When I'm done there will hopefully be stuff here other people can use. There's a lot to love and admire about Common Lisp, but the language has some pointy bits that ....

Tesla's Autopilot found partly to blame for 2018 crash on the 405

The fact that anyone finds this surprising is mind boggling . The fact that anyone would use this as evidence that Tesla’s Autopilot system is somehow unsafe blows my mind. The authors cited two accidents involving Tesla’s Autopilot system, meanwhile I pass an accident caused by an inattentive driver about once a month on my three mile drive from work back to my house. We would be lucky to have such an “unsafe” system driving our cars. ..

At over 16,000 words, Tim Urban has some good advice for choosing a career . Back in college, I used to shake my head at all the lost students around me. One of my friends said it was unrealistic to expect kids, fresh out of high school, to know what they wanted to do for the rest of their lives. I argued that eighteen years was plenty of time to figure that out, because it’s not that hard: Start with things you like, narrow your scope....

So you’re making a change to the provider to add a feature, it’s going great and your ready to test it out…. but then you realize things get a bit ropey… ideally you want a visual debugger to step through the code. Well here is how to set that up in VSCode. First make sure you have VSCode setup for golang debugging (delve configured etc). Then it’s easy, say you want to debug a new provider you’ve written and it has a test called TestAc..

Patrick George over at Jalopnik posted a picture of a Toyota BXD20 the other day, and I had to check it out. Kinja had a nice article about the vehicle . I would not say no to a BXD, but given the chance to build on a platform like this, I would just go with a similar AM General Humvee. AM General has built almost 10,000 per year since 1984 for militaries around the world, which has proven the vehicle’s reliability and made it readily av..

In an electric car, the (enormous) battery is a major part of the price. If electric car prices are decreasing , battery costs must be decreasing, because it’s not like the cost of fabricating rubber, aluminum, glass, and steel into car shapes can decline that much,

You don’t know what you got until it’s gone. And unfortunately it’s the same with data. The importance of backup is mostly realised after loosing the data. After a few data incidents, I have made backups of all my ElasticSearch clusters. I have also made it a habit to create backups and then go ahead with using ES cluster to store data. In this article I will be using Google Cloud Storage (GCS) buckets for backup.

Last week I attended the Open Source Firmware Conference . It was amazing! The talks, people, and overall feel of the conference really left me feeling inspired and lucky to attend. Having been pushed to attend vendor conferences and trade shows through my career for various jobs, it was so refreshing to have the chance to hang out with folks from such a genuine community that really just want to help one another. When the talks hit Yo....

What a cool idea from TJ Holowaychuk. For a while before I re-released First Crack , my static blog engine, I used a custom Node.js frontend to serve my site. I ended up overhauling the project to build a static website instead, but I could have just used this neat trick instead. Permalink.
