Warning: this is a rant Recently, I have made great progress in my journey towards Haskell enlightenment. I finally see how many of the little pieces of the Haskell puzzle fit together. At this point, I feel empowered to go forth and write useful programs. I read through the source of Scotty the web framework the other day, and I was very pleasantly surprised that I understood how it works. I absolutely love Haskell. I love th....

Beware: this article is from 2015 and in Elixir world couple things changed a bit. Here you can find the updated version of this blog post . What is wrong with gen_event? I never used gen_event, I think it is a bad pattern. At first it may look like a controversial statement, but I heard a lot of those complaints from other people. Originally, I heard that exact statement during the presentation made by Garrett Smith about pattern langua....

In a previous post I linked to all the various internet sites about the candidates I could find. In this post I am going to list the claims made by the political postcards I’ve received in the mail. Especially since the election is tomorrow, I’m probably not going to verify these claims, at least not here.

After nearly two years in (Part time) development, Amounts 2 has finally been sent off to Apple for review. This will be a free update to all users, and I think everyone will love it. The UI has been overhauled to support the new screen sizes, icons have been updated, and now the app supports... Read more » The post Amounts 2, In Review first appeared on Swift Fox Software LLC .

MongoDB is perhaps the most-widely-mocked piece of software out there right now. While some of the mockery is out-of-date or rooted in misunderstandings, much of it is well-deserved, and it’s difficult to disagree that much of MongoDB’s engineering is incredibly simplistic, inefficient, and immature compared to more-established databases like PostgreSQL or MySQL. You can argue, and I would largely agree, that this is actually part of MongoD..

Every week or two, new questions are added to the Questions Library.

I promised a mega Q&A, I’m delivering a mega Q&A. I had upwards of 750 questions, so I took some of the most popular (and least creepy) ones, scrubbed out the personal info, fixed some spelling, did a bit of rephrasing, and tossed them up here. Bring In The Questions Why don’t you have ads? / Why don’t you monetize the blog? / Have you considered selling your soul to the highest bidder?

Update 3, Nov 2 2015 (PM): Well, it’s been…strange. First, it seems my account was finally deleted by Livecoding.tv (thank you!) After being up all night with libel posted all over it, hours after Jamie Green (the other Livecoding co-founder) and Sam Altman (Y Combinator president) replied to the Hacker News thread claiming they were trying to do something, something finally happened. I have heard nothing from either of them since their ..

AdRoll — Part I As a high school math teacher, I never imagined that I would become a software engineer, but here I am. After teaching and running a math tutoring business for five years, I began to yearn for a new challenge and started to tackle Codecademy’s Python course . By the end of the section on for loops, I was hooked; the structured way of thinking that programming required jived with my math brain, and I knew that I needed to....

Picture This It’s midnight and my flight has just landed in Boston, two hours behind schedule. I step out into a crisp September night; the air never tastes like this in California. It’s refreshing, but despite it only being 9 PM on the coast that I left from, I’m exhausted. It’s been a tiring few days of tying up loose ends before the trip, and staring at a dim screen on a dark plane wasn’t exactly conducive to sustaining my conscious..

Containers are not a new thing, but implementing them was always a little more complicated than it needed to be. Docker made great leaps in simplification of containers and set the world on fire from there. Let’s look at why.

Over the last few weeks, I’ve been plagued with an issue within the OSX El Capitan App Store, that resulted in me being unable to install any updates or install/purchase new applications. At first, I wondered if this was due to my hasty upgrade to the GM of OSX 10.11, which almost certainly was going have a few bugs and issues being the initial release of a new OS. After a few attempts at trying to fix the issue using Google, it seemed th..

Imagine being able to step forward and backwards as code runs in your debugger. Imagine being able to do an test run multiple times with exactly the same sequence of instructions and values, right down to memory addresses and IO. Imagine being able to run an executable thousands of times and then do all that in the one execution that triggers the rare bug that’s draining you of life… The rr tool is amazing.

I was recently an invited speaker in a series of STEM talks at Moraine Valley Community College. My talk was called “What can algorithms tell us about life, love, and happiness?” and it’s on Youtube now so you can go watch it. The central theme of the talk was the lens of computation, that algorithms and theoretical computer science can provide new and novel explanations for the natural phenomena we observe in the world.

I really wouldn’t mind moving from Dropbox to S3, Google Cloud Storage, Azure Storage, or any other provider Recently at work I’ve been using the fancy new 4K iMac , yet when I’m at home or out-and-about, I use my equivalently-sexy MacBook . I do the same stuff on both computers though, it just so happens that one is way faster and has a bigger screen, and the other is slower though portable and much more practical for my lifestyle. ....

One of the perks of the truck that I always mention is its mobility. Regardless of where on the planet I put it, the box is still my room, and once I’m inside, the details of the surrounding world are reduced to nothing more than background noise. Theoretically, I can just park anywhere and make that my home for the night. In reality however, I very rarely spend the night anywhere other than a corporate parking lot, save a few digressions..

I recently released version 0.3 of my simple_parallel crate, which builds on Aaron Turon’s crossbeam to resolve the stability and safety difficulties : the crate now works with Rust 1.3.0 stable, and offers safe data-parallel for loops and maps. I still don’t recommend it for general use, but I think it’s a neat demonstration of what Rust’s type system allows, and hopefully inspiration for something awesome. simple_parallel ....
