On Stack Overflow and the Eve mailing list , but also in my mailbox and even on Twitter, I get a lot of enquiries on how to build custom endpoints within a Eve-powered RESTful application. Now, since within Eve all endpoints are fully customizable, what they really mean is: How do I setup endpoints without any binding to a data entity, just connected to a custom method?

A new scheme for SIMD in Rust is available in the latest nightly compilers, fresh off the builders (get it while it’s hot!). For the last two months, I’ve been interning at Mozilla Research, working on improving the state of SIMD parallelism in Rust : exposing more CPU instructions in the compiler, and an in-progress library that provides a mostly-safe but low-level interface to that core functionality.

This post is part two of what will be a three part series. If you missed it part one was How to Route Traffic through a Tor Docker container . I figured it was important, if you are going to be a tor user, to document how you can help the Tor community by hosting a Tor relay. And guess what? You can use Docker to do this! There are three types of relays you can host, a bridge relay, a middle relay, and an exit relay. Exit relays tend to ....

When looking for a more stable hosting solution for my Magic: The Gathering Api , I stumbled across Google’s App Engine. If you have not read up on this solution, I would recommend it. To get Laravel’s Lumen running correctly on Google App Engine, there are a few questions that we need to answer. Lets take these one at a time. How does the application know it is running on Google App Engine? One of the easiest ways to figure out if the..

I’ve previously written about Snappy and Unity 8’s Snappy Scope, back when I was first getting started on it. Since then, both the scope and Ubuntu Core itself have come a long way, so I thought it was time for an update and a quick demo. When I was working on Snappy back when I wrote the other post I was running Ubuntu Core virtually, since I was using my embedded devices for other tasks.

Even before I got tenure, folks have told me they’re “looking forward to an academic advice post on tenure.” From how to get a Ph.D. to monthly resolutions for grad students , I’ve found it easy to write academic posts on just about every topic. Except this one. I got tenure over a year ago, yet every time I tried to sum up my views on tenure, I froze. Every path to tenure is inherently unique and non-repeatable. How could I p....

Recently the very cool hard working developers working on Stripe released a post about how they modified their build/test pipeline to reduce their test suite runtime from 3 hours to about 3 minutes.

A few key takeaways, For dynamic languages such as Ruby or Python consider forking to run tests in parallel

Gnat nightmares, spider sadness, moth madness, ant anxiety, bug barrage—ok I’ll stop now. I’m not a fan of bugs. Generally speaking, unless you’re an entomologist or earthy-crunchy type, you probably aren’t either. I’m not terrified of them by any means, I’m not liable to stop what I’m doing if a bug decides to drop by and say hey, but I’m still likely to exterminate them all with extreme prejudice before going to sleep. After all, nobody..
