Hartley writes about full stack software engineering and AI-driven software development.
In Python as in other programming languages, this grand principle encourages software architects to escape from Object Orientation and enjoy the simpler practices of Object Based programming instead.
Master Git through understanding, not memorization. Learn branches, merges, and collaboration with clear explanations and visual diagrams.
Over the decades I’ve been using the shell, there are thousands of reusable patterns I’ve picked up from looking over others’ shoulders and googling.
If I were to design a computer algebra system (CAS) from scratch today, I would try to achieve the following goals. Several ideas have already been implemented in one system or another, but certainly not all at once. Some ideas could be adopted by existing CASes; others would require fundamentally different designs or…
Last week someone posted a /r/cpp thread titled “Declaring all variables local to a function as const”: Ok, so I’m an old-school C++ programmer using the language now since the early ’90s. I’m a fan of const-correctness for function and member declarations, parameters, and the like. Where, I believe, it actually…
Recently I started a site of tools for boardgames players . Simple tools like dice and spinners.
[Translations: Japanese] The Amish have the undeserved reputation of being luddites, of people who refuse to employ new technology. It’s well known the strictest of them don’t use electricity, or automobiles, but rather farm with manual tools and ride in … Continue reading →
In my previous blog post on pointer provenance, I have shown that not thinking carefully about pointers can lead to a compiler that is internally inconsistent: programs that are intended to...

Learn Rust to 80% in 5 minutes by leveraging your existing JavaScript knowledge. In this article, I list a number of differences Rust has compared to JS that is crucial to understanding it.
While calculating certain round-trip times, here is a number I came across that is surprisingly memorable: It takes light 0.1337 seconds to travel the length of the Earth's equator via vacuum or air. Let me repeat that. It takes light "zero point leet" seconds to travel once around the equator.

How we built our first iteration of content matching at Canva.
After a long wait, the Progress Report is back! This time it wasn't so much from a lack of content, but from a lack of content creators. The past three months had illnesses hit one of our writers and the other had a very challenging move. Even with these major hurdles jumped, we're not even close to 100% yet. It's…
It's been a very hectic two months. Dolphin's development builds officially dropped support for Windows 7, Windows 8, and Windows 8.1 in 5.0-16393 when the Windows buildbots were updated to use Qt6. If you read the last Progress Report, you'd know that Windows 7 was already on shaky terms due…

Qt 6.4 is now available and comes with a lot of new modules, features, and improvements. And Web Assembly is now a fully supported platform!
Embrace innovation with Red Hat's cloud solutions for enterprise-wide automation
I used to obsess about code quality earlier in my career. My experience indicates that I'm in good company here; a lot of us developers spend so much time growing our programming skills, and that kind of drive comes from intrinsic motivation. We care about what we do, and we want to do it well.
