Does front-end development as a we know it still exist; or has the role evolved into something we no longer recognise? As with evolution in nature, the evolution of "front-end" has resulted in several distinct flavours --- and in my opinion --- an identity crisis.
Quote: we DID get a perfectly usable C++ dialect which is also 100% safe against memory corruption and against memory leaks. Another Quote: we can (and often...
I recently migrated my personal website (the source code is on GitHub ) from Jekyll to Hugo . It was mostly painless, and now I’m eager to write more often and put more content on my website.
Thinking about the end game.
DISCLAIMER: If you are in no way familiar or comfortable with the Terminal, this is not for you.
The three levels of software, a framework by Jimmy Koppel: runtime, code, and logic, and why code that never fails can still be wrong.
Lazarus Lazaridis’ personal blog with posts mostly related to programming and opensource. And cats.
Both Firefox and Chrome have a feature for creating temporary private browsing sessions. Firefox calls it Private Browsing and Chrome calls it Incognito Mode . Both work essentially the same way. A temporary browsing session is started without carrying over most existing session state (cookies, etc.), and no state…
I spent a couple of years evangelizing about Capsicum. I wrote many articles about it. So, it is very natural that I would also like to update you on this blog about the progress of the Capsicum project in FreeBSD, because this is what I’m doing in my free time. That said I feel that this blog wouldn’t be completed…
As a fun experiment, and to show the basics of clojure development, I implemented a minesweeper clone using clojurescript and p5.js.
In this guide I analyse hardware from CPU to SSD and their impact on performance for deep learning so that you can choose the hardware that you really need.
Here's what I recommend to programmers if they want to understand machine learning. Six fantastic books that you can work with in your spare time to build yo...
I first participated in Advent of Code (AoC) in 2017. My co-workers at Formlabs introduced it to me. This year (2018), quite a lot of Formlabs folks are taking part and we have a nice private leaderboard going. I'm having a lot of fun with it. I've been staying up until midnight to work on the problems as soon as…
I’ve compiled a list of Python tutorials and annotated analyses. I've tried to list pages that are accessible to social scientists with little background in Python and/or machine learning.
(Originally published on CACM blog.) Most of the world programs in a very strange way. Strange to me. I usually hear the reverse question: people ask us, the Eiffel community, to explain why we program our way. I hardly understand the question, because the only mystery is how anyone can even program in any other …
Here's a Forth program debugged in KDevelop – a graphical debugger without Forth support:
I looked into Python because I was considering translating the Lisp code for the Russell & Norvig AI textbook into Java. Some instructors and students wanted Java because
I wrote this article for an online magazine called Scene Zine . Scene Zine caters to the Demo Scene, which is an digital art community dedicated to pushing the limits of computers through a mix of music, art, and computer programming. A particular category of demoscene productions, 4K intros, focus on the final…
Programming is a fundamentally incremental (or gradual) process, and our programming languages should reflect that. I show several ways in which program models transition over time and discuss how future research can further a human-centric vision for programming languages.
A short case study breaking down the interesting design aspects of containers.
What better thing to do, during the hot, hot July days, thank something semi-mechanical involving very little brain power? With student-facing work briefly calming down (we've just about weathered the storm of appeals and complaints following the publication of exam results), and the all-too-brief Summer holidays…
Earlier today , Barry Schwartz published a piece over on Search Engine Roundtable called Google Does Not Use rel=me Microformats . The article got shared around Twitter a lot, and those tweets surfaced on the microformats IRC channel . In it he mentions a few things that I would like to respond to, that is probably…
In our company we usually have a fun quiz every sunday and this was one of them
The geometry puzzles that are lighting up Twitter.
