Historically I've been a MySQL advocate but I've recently been quite impressed with Postgres. This leaves me in the position of needing to migrate several MySQL databases over to Postgres -or- run two database engines in production. And, clearly, it is far more desirable to run only a single production database server. I recently found the NPM tool NMIG and used it to successfully convert a MySQL database over to Postgres quickly and ....

These are my notes on the talks “Simple Made Easy” by Rich Hickey . Simplicity is a prerequisite for reliability - Dijkstra Simple: One role. One task. One concept. One dimension. Lack of interleaving. (Does not mean there’s only one thing) Easy: “Near”. To our understanding, skill/set or capabilities. Easy is relative. We can only make reliable those things we can understand. We can only consider a few things at a time. If..

Sometimes I come back home from work, stuck on something, no adults to ask help to and a deadline in the morning. I fall asleep thinking: “Tomorrow is the day I’ll get caught. This will be the one problem I won’t be able to solve. The rest of my life is going to be misery and failure” Every morning though, with more or less pain things get sorted. Anyways here’s what you should do when you’re stuck:

Bazel persistent workers are a cool feature that allow Bazel to start up “compiler” instances that can accept multiple build requests. This brings benefits like saving startup time, saving the time to parse a standard library or share some cache across compiler invocations. This allows slight speedups in rebuilds, which can be valuable in speeding up the developer iteration cycle. This is best exemplified in the existing persistent workers:..

I talked about Qubes OS in my post on secure operating systems . I concluded that it is indeed quite nice, and it is also what I use, however, besides the worse performance when compared to other OSes, it also is quite buggy as a disadvantage. Some of these have the potential of making the OS unusable, and mitigations are not specified in the documentation, so I thought mentioning fixes for those here, as well as some general stuff on impr....

Here's some technologies: clojure edn kotlin maven VS Code vim elasticsearch kafka kafka connect kafka streams mongodb replication event sourcing, change data capture architecture, CQRS avro graphql graphql schema delegation a....

This is less about saying farewell to Estes Park than it is about a ride I’ve been eyeing for over five years. Not only did I have the wrong bike when I was here in September, 2015, but I learned that this route existed the day after I finished an out-and-back run of Trail Ridge Road on my old Giant roady. TRR is the downhill paved segment of today’s route. There are a multitude of reasons to visit this beautiful town nestled at the base ....

Back in the late 1980’s and early 1990’s, I remember collecting MS-DOS computer viruses. I’d download them from an online Bulletin Board System (BBS) and store them on floppy disks in compressed format to prevent them from executing. For fun, some friends and I would occasionally release them on one of our systems to see what they did, and then reinstall MS-DOS afterwards. Most viruses didn’t do very much, but some others (e.g. BBkiller) w..

While trying out macOS's Music app to manage offline media, I wondered if I could easily search and control playback from Emacs. Spoiler alert: yes it can be done and fuzzy searching music is rather gratifying. Luckily, the hard work's already handled by pytunes , a command line interface to macOS's iTunes/Music app. We add ffprobe and some elisp glue to the mix, and we can generate an Emacs media index. Indexing takes roughly a m....

NOTE : This is written in a Rails context but I've applied these techniques to Python and PHP as well as other languages. This isn't Rails specific as much as it is a development best practice. My very first rails codebase was a project called eduFire which was a C2C (consumer to consumer) marketplace for educators who wanted to sell online tutoring in language instruction. This let an instructor: build a profile advertise their servi....

I own both an original ErgoDox (full hand acrylic case, from I think the 2nd massdrop) and a newer ErgoDox Infitity. The original works better for me and I wanted to share my experience and reasoning. There's a few things that are just simpler/nicer: flashing the original just requires a paperclip button press on the top of the keyboard and 1 command in the OS Flashing the infinity is a dance of a paperclip press on the underside of one h....
