As ClojureScript nears its fifth birthday I find myself reflecting on its suitability as a “tool for thought” . Certainly reading the Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs nearly thirteen years ago painted an ideal image of Lisp as a truly interactive and tangible approach to computing. That experience…
Portability and Robustness issues commonly found in shell scripts
One more thing… It’s been awhile since we launched a whole new product at Fog Creek Software (the last one was Trello, and that’s doing pretty well). Today we’re announcing the public beta of Hyper…
Some time ago, I’ve moved this jekyll-based blog from GitHub Pages to a self-hosted NixOS server. A few weeks ago, I’ve also moved some parts of my local OS X environment from homebrew over to nix.
(2016-12-18 Version 2 is now on github. It fixes one bug, makes the code style more consistent, and adds a few additional options for tracking the results.) It started with a Facebook post from my …
I've always held a fascination for maps; from my first days exploring the GeoDjango project, to writing clustering systems and map renderers, to my experiments in indoor 3D mapping .
I really love ping! It is easy to use and directly reveals whether the network works or not. Refer to Why Ping is no Security Flaw! (But your Friend) and Advanced Tracerouting . At least outgoing pings (from trust to untrust) should be allowed without any security concerns. However, many companies are denying these…

The Life of a Completely Blind Programmer in the Netherlands
You’ve probably heard that story about NPM community and LeftPad package, that broke thousands JavaScript projects worldwide. There was a nice follow-up article titled “Have We Forget How To Program” and one guy even created left-pad.io - Left-Pad As A Service web service. People got a lot of fun discussing this story.
