Expect tests are a technique I’ve written about before , but until recently, it’s been a little on the theoretical side. That’s because it’s been hard to take these ideas out for a spin due to lack of tooling outside of Jane Street’s walls.

Here's some miscellaneous notes on what I've gotten set up on my new linux laptop so far. Distribution and Desktop Environment I tried 3: PopOS (ubuntu tweaked for system76, gnome-shell desktop) Xubuntu (ubuntu with Xfce4 desktop) Linux Mint Xfce4 (ubuntu with xfce4 desktop) I like to think that I don't care that much about my desktop environment but I couldn't find a good clipboard manager for gnome shell and that was enough to make ....

Voltage converter in 3D printed casing I’m using Yamaha THR5 electric guitar amplifier. It’s possible to power it with batteries. It isn’t economically good solution though. Something rechargeable would be way better. Since I had a Li-Po battery lying around I made a small dongle which regulates the voltage.

When I’m not in Flowhub-land , I’m used to developing software in a quite customized command line based development environment. Like for many, the cornerstones of this for me are vim and tmux . As customization increases, it becomes important to have a way to manage that and distribute it across the different computers. For years, I’ve used a dotfiles repository on GitHub together with GNU Stow for this. However, this still mea....

I love the way this article explains some of the key issues with designing distributed systems and how to solve them. It uses the illustration of a theme park and the rides - very clever and a fun read, which is unusual for a distributed systems article!

Online compilers are a handy tool to save time and resources for coders, and are freely available for a variety of programming languages. They are useful for learning a new language and developing simple programs, such as the ubiquitous “Hello World” exercise. I often use online compilers when I am out, so that I don’t have to worry about locating and downloading all of the resources myself. -Continue to read the article on SerHack.me

An old “ridiculous” math problem about how long it takes an orchestra to play Beethoven’s 9th that went somewhat viral on Twitter and elsewhere a year or so ago made me think about less-obvious problems in math word problems.

Let's say you've been using a machine for a year or two and over time you gradually become more attached and dependent on it. This is a situation I've found myself into more than once and it is quite annoying, it's straining for the brain. I've been through it the past few days and it and I kept wondering about the ways I could make it less of a pain. Imagine if today you suddenly lost access to your current work machine, what would you do?..
