How can you get more performance from your existing data science infrastructure? What if a DataFrame library could take advantage of your machine's available cores and provide built-in methods for handling larger-than-RAM datasets? This week on the show, Liam Brannigan is here to discuss Polars.

This is a super quick one, I have a Ryzen server running a bunch of VMs. I noticed it’s running quite hot and pulling a fair bit of power. As none of the VMs running are particularly performance sensitive I wanted to force the CPU to use a more conservative power setting. First up, how do I see what frequencies the CPU is currently running at? For that we’ll use cpufreq-info, this will tell us what frequency each core is at:

For clarification, this is discussing no other thing called Memex than memex.marginalia.nu, the website you’re probably visiting right now. That, or you’re reading this over gemini at marginalia.nu, which is serving the same content over a different protocol. I wanted to build a cross-protocol static site generator designed in a way that is equally understandable by both humans and machines. This groundedness is an appealing property I re..

I do find their decision to drop JPEG-XL from Chromium problematic because it was clearly an example of them ignoring everyone else, showing the limits of Chromium’s collaborative decision making. However, “pushing their own formats” wasn’t one of their reasons: Google also dropped plans to make its WebP2 project a real image format at around the same time Google helped define the JPEG-XL spec Google developed the Butteraugli project, wh..

In 2022, Snyk continued to expand on our developer-centric approach to software security, by adding several key enhancements to the existing solutions — let's focus on three key capabilities introduced in the past year that can improve your software supply chain security.

The task Automation is great. There's just something inherently beautiful about the process of stringing together a bunch of software, services, or tools to attain a simple goal, and finding a solid solution that just works™. One automation task I've been tinkering with lately is how to send an arbitrary file directly from my browser to my phone, with as little fuss as possible. I often browse reddit or just the web in general and find a f....

Open Source Program Offices (OPSO) are popping up all over, in recognition of the facts on the ground: open source software (and I would argue open standards as well) plays an enormous role in building and maintaining the software that increasingly drives the planet.

Introduction In episode 14, Bill architected a solution to digitally sign the transactions on his blockchain. His solution retrieved the private key by : loading private key data from disk, parsing the key data and returning the ECDSA private key. The private key is then used to generate the signature of a transaction. While writing the code to perform this functionality, Bill highlighted how a blockchain node can use a transaction’s signa..

Introduction Google developed Go to be an alternative to C++ with the internet and scale in mind. Go’s toolchain automates tasks that are easily overlooked, and amongst those tasks is generating documentation. Go has the ability to generate documentation based on comments written in your source code. As the end user, you have the choice to view this documentation in your terminal or, if your code is publicly accessible, on pkg.go.dev . Go..

I decided that I want to write not only about programming, but also about other things that deeply interest me — like education, knowledge management, or leadership methods. In this short essay, I describe my journey in knowledge management and what system I use in my daily work. With this short essay, I want to begin a new page in my writing, challenging myself to write not only about programming but also about things that deeply inte....

In 2022 I finished 20 books spanning 15,801 pages. 3 more than I read in 2021, but about twice the number of pages. 3 fiction and 17 non-fiction. Another ~30 started but not finished. I had a hard time reading books while I was trying to start my own company. But I also discovered audiobooks. I would put on a book and listen while I did my chores. Only 5 of the 20 books I finished were physical (or kindle) books. The other 15 were audi....

Going forward, the CSS Speech Module seems like a better place for auditory tonal indicators. The CSS we’ve already had for years should be a better place for visual presentation. This leaves only a minuscule semantic difference between and , or and , as outlined in the HTML Living Standard. I don’t think that difference warrants extra elements in the HTML standard: the extra elements likely create more confusion tha..

Introduction In episode 12, Bill laid out his strategy to handle data hashing on his blockchain. The first step he took was to create a package to handle the cryptographical aspects of his blockchain. After that, he wrote a hash function that met the requirements outlined in his strategy. This function took transaction data as a parameter and returned a hexadecimal representation of the hash. To implement this function, Bill imported packa..

Introduction In episode 13, Bill discussed the idea of adding salt to a hash and how modern crypto-currency blockchains use it to better interpret requests sent to nodes. He continued by defining a function called stamp that embeds a salt within a hash. While writing the function, Bill stated that he would use keccak256 as it’s the same algorithm used by Ethereum to generate hash values. Bill will use the APIs provided with Go Ethereum to ..

What are the differences between a committee and a working group? Working groups relax hierarchy to allow people to solve problems across organizational units, whereas committees both reflect and reinforce organizational boundaries and hierarchies.

The Splunk command fieldsummary is amazing – I use it quite frequently to explore more “new” (to me) sourcetypes, and to find out about more fields than I’ve previously used in the sourcetypes I work with most. But sometimes you want to be able to delineate more granularly than fieldsummary will allow. Maybe you have... continue “a rich man’s fieldsummary” »

Good tools are those that help users accomplish something while mostly staying out of their way. Browsers should be such tools, and there are many of them to choose from. Sadly however there are effectively only two browser engines available. Those would be the engines behind Google’s Chrome and Mozilla’s Firefox. Name me any fairly mainstream browser and there are overwhelming odds that either one of those engines is powering it.

I had been meaning to check out David Wilson's System Crafters post detailing his presentations style achieved with the help of org-present and his own customizations. If you're looking for ways to present from Emacs itself, David's post is well worth a look. org-present's spartan but effective approach resonated with me. David's touches bring the wonderfully stylish icing to the cake. I personally liked his practice of collapsing s....
