Just create the static folder under your application root path, it just works. Now you can visit http://localhost:5000/static/example.png and get your file. You can customize the static folder and static url path.
I have moved off Medium to a personal blog. Click here for the updated post.
About a month ago I tweeted this: Thought: get the maintainers of a bunch of big Python libraries to sign something saying that they WILL drop Python 2.7 support in 2020.— Aaron Meurer (@asmeurer) Mar
You go into work and discover that a coworker isn't happy with some code you wrote because they don't understand it. They go to your manager and tell them that you're being a problem by writing code they don't understand. Your manager, being very skilled in conflict resolution, makes a technical decision to avoid…
A while ago, I bought the book “ The Go Programming Language ” written by Alan Donovan and Brian Kernighan. I have always been a fan of Brian Kernighan’s writings. I should admit that I bought the book mainly for his great examples and writings than for the Go language itself, but since then have got interested in the…
I have recently become quite an enthusiast for the language Clojure . But why? Why would someone who has spent the last 30 years programmi...
In my last blog entry LLand LR Parsing Demystified, we explored LL and LR parsers from ablack-box perspective. We arrived at a model for these parsers whereb...
Students often ask for a recommendation on what language they should learn next. If you're looking for a job in industry, my reply is to learn whatever is hot right now: C++, Java and C#--and probably Python, Ruby, PHP and Perl too.
One common complaint of Clojure REPLs is their [startup time](http://puredanger.github.io/tech.puredanger.com/2013/12/01/clj-problems/). Although that complaint is often somewhat unfounded (and related to tooling), it still takes the bare Clojure JAR about 1 second to start on new hardware…
Last week I’ve self-published my first book called “Writing An Interpreter In Go”, which you can get at interpreterbook.com . I want to tell you a little bit about why I chose to write this particular book.
If Rust is to take on work previously reserved to C++, we need to know how well it does what C++ does best. What’s fast, what’s slow? What’s harder to do, what’s easier? I wouldn’t know how to look up answers for those questions, but I can write programs.
Let me start this article with a confession: I suck at writing parallel code. I have only a vague idea about mutexes, locks and other low level primitives for handling data between threads. And since I work mostly with Python, I tend to use multiprocessing (if I bother to parallelize at all) rather than threads…
I was out for drinks with Josh Long and some other friends from work, when he found out I "speak math." He had come across this …
I think Rust is extremely well-suited for low level Linux systems userspace programming — daemons, services, command-line tools, that sort of thing. Low-level userspace code on Linux is almos…
List of Scientific Papers found in Java source code
Another year, another year-in-review post. To be honest, I feel like any attempt I make to summarize what happened in the Clojure world this year is largely moot. Clojure has gotten so big, so — dare I say it? — mainstream that I can’t even begin to keep up with all the interesting things that are happening. But it’s…
Efficient concurrent programming libraries are essential for taking advantage of fine-grained parallelism on multicore hardware. In this post, I will introduce reagents , a composable, lock-free concurrency library for expressing fine-grained parallel programs on Multicore OCaml . Reagents offer a high-level DSL for…
Integer overflow detection/handling in Rust is sometimes misunderstood.
Why I might use Rust instead of Python, with walkthroughs for building a simple
Warning: what follows is a somewhat technical discussion of my love-hate relationship with the R statistical language, in which I somehow manage to waste 2,400 words talking about a single line of …
