This post will describe how I design my programs in Go. I needed this for work, and while I searched for a link, nothing quite fits my coding practices out there. The word “Layered” can pull up some fairly close descriptions, but I want to lay out what I do.
Extensive new documentation from Anthropic on how to get the best results out of their Claude Code CLI coding agent tool, which includes this fascinating tip: We recommend using the …
In November 2022, I opened issue 99108 on Python’s GitHub repository, arguing that after a recent CVE in its implementation of SHA3, Python should embrace verified code for all of its hash-related infrastructure.
Reimplementing Haskell lazy infinite lists using Python generators
In my previous post I introduced SQL virtual tables and how to use them in Go—registering modules per connection, defining schemas, and querying external sources as regular tables.
2023-01-01: This project has been ongoing for a while... now its time to post some of this info and see what comes of it. I have access to several junk Milwaukee M18 batteries. Age varies a little. I thought it would be 'fun' to reverse engineer a battery just to see how it functions... That is until I actually opened
It's a justifiable copout, but it's still a copout.
... and why signed distance functions are cool!
I’ve been programming for long enough to be righteously cantankerous about a lot of things. The list of languages, frameworks and libraries I’ve worked with professionally or on personal projects is too long to list – but it includes everything from C and assembly languages through C++, Pascal and Delphi, through Java…
Cross-compiling is taking a computer program and compiling it for a machine that isn’t the one hosting the compilation. Although historically compilers would only compile for the host machine, this is considered an anachronism: all serious native compilers are now cross-compilers.
Turning your API inside-out.
An article from dylanbeattie.net
In the previous chapter, we assumed that we can uniformly randomly sample our domain. However, it’s not obvious how to actually do so—in fact, how can a deterministic computer even generate random numbers? 1
Yet another programming blog. Thoughts on software and related misadventures.
Karl Seguin's Blog - A mix of coding and creative writing
Both GCC and Clang support the -fsanitize=undefined flag which instruments the generated code to detect places where the program wanders into parts of the C language specification which are either undefined or implementation defined. Many of these are also common programming errors. It would be great if there were…
My journey implementing a new dithering algorithm in the Racket programming language.
Update: If you’re coming to this blog post from a compendium titled “Go is not good,” I want to make it clear that I am ashamed to be on such a list. Go is absolutely the least worst programming language I’ve ever used. At the time I wrote this, I wanted to curb a trend I was seeing, namely, overuse of one of the more…
Earlier this week, Haroen Viaene posted this tweet about YAML: worst part of yaml: https://yaml.org/type/bool.html — Haroen Viaene (@haroenv) January 10, 2022 The linked-to page contains the documentation on what defines a boolean in YAML, and details that it can be parsed using this regex…
This book, written by Protesilaos Stavrou, also known as ‘Prot’, provides a big picture view of the Emacs Lisp programming language.
I am experimenting a bit with a new article format: instead of an overarching theme, this is more of a collection of smaller bits and pieces, sewn together.
Why clear communication—not clever prompts—is your real AI superpower
# TLDR Datastar is a new hypermedia framework that makes building real-time web applications simpler and more efficient. It prioritizes server-side logic, uses “signals” for automatic UI updates, and leverages Server-Sent Events for lightning-fast performance. If you’re looking for a streamlined alternative to…
I used to think that the big idea of Erlang is its lightweight processes and message passing. Over the last couple of years I’ve realised that there’s a bigger insight to be had, and in this post I’d like to share it with you.
